Public Update!

[Emaho]

!ship # allows a player to switch ships without losing MVP status. This is supposed to encourage players to become a shark or a terr when one is needed.

I also like how roboboy asks for players to switch teams and offers 25 bty as an incentive. Sometimes I'll spec and reenter and it will PM me saying that I've been switched to even teams and given bounty. I think that's a cool option.

THe !ship # thing sounds awesome! Good friggin job guys!

Ps. Hi mootah! :]

[Sumpson]

lol mootland is getting bored of my ignorance..

To me you are a very funny guy.

I'm trying to be nice, I could say I think your an ignorant fool which is what I do, but I dont want you to feel bad. (I remember allot of ppl including higher staff agree with the ideas I had about pub yet you needed to be ignorant and be the man who decides what happens)

anyway, the !ship # option seems to be useless to me, if you don't want players who change ship to lose their MVP status, fix the MVP thingy. You guys are making things very complicated for the biggest newbie zone in ss.

The great thing is however you can just ignore all this stuff and play still.
I dont care about mvp lol. For the people who care about mvp it makes them happy. Win-Win

Because staying in one ship for a round to be MVP is making things complicated.


Great updates to the pubs and the bot commands!

I like Dabram's ideas with the switching jav's/levi's after so many tk's, but having a limit on ships has never seemed to work in pubs (because everyone will complain, hell, they'll complain when the bot switches them out of jav and change freq or something). Perhaps put the TK-watcher in pubs, and when a certain ship reaches the limit, they can't be in that ship until the timer runs out (instead of specing them). This will be a problem with sharks though...

yo moot dice back, get on and start carrying games 4 me. love you peace

[IKM]

I think the new timer looks neat.

"The 1930s called, they want their word back"

E-cred to whoever tells me what this in reference to.

Re: javs who TK such-and-such number of people in a certain amount of time being changed to another ship and locked out of jav for a bit, the code is basically written. Largely it's just a political thing, like much of TW. There are a lot of people in the zone, and so a lot of people for and against every idea that's thought of. It-can-be-in-tomorrow-if-Moot-gives-the-word kind of thing.

As for MVP in pub, this one is tricky ... stats in ?go base are pretty easy: you can assume that every single player is dedicated to getting and keeping the flag, so that every kill they make is one made for the team, in a sense. In pub, this is not necessarily the case. People can be spawnkilling, taking cheap shots as people fly by quickly, or sitting off outside the base firing specialized shots in with no real skill or risk required. These people may end up with pretty high kill to death ratios. Would be hard to use kills to decide a better MVP status that not everyone receives.

Same goes with terr kills: not every terr is dedicated to basing -- some of them want to be this wonderful thing called "roof terr," for example -- so a TD isn't really that big a deal when compared with base or a bd, where there's generally only one terr. In pub, 4 terrs on a freq isn't all that unusual, so just shooting someone who is capable of typing esc+5 and nothing more should not have much effect on MVP.

Add in the whole mess that people can change ships constantly, weighing shark kills and such greater than others ... I don't know, it gets damn tricky. Flag claims work, but then there aren't often that many.

I don't know if anything would be all that fair, considering. Most of it would end up being arbitrary, and so not mean very much. Not that it does right now, anyhow, but ... if time is put into improving it, it might as well be significantly better than present.

Personally i'd prefer mods to deal with teamkilling. Its possible in both shark and javelin to rack up a large number of tks unintensionally. Espcially when people insist on camping next to mines, or flying towards the enermy you are shooting your bomb at. A skilled leviathan can rack up alot of kills with very few if any teamkills. Alot of the problem with leviathans is people blindly firing or panic firing and teamkilling there entire team.

[DankNuggets]

maybe give mvp status to those who stay in fr/mid base like a king of the hill thing

[Mootland Farmer]

Oh yes, lets have a bunch of mindless ?go base freaks determine what Publics shall be like. How's your squad doing in the most 'newbiest' zone of Subspace Sumpson? Oh yeah...

[DankNuggets]

any word on a new tileset?? i know there was some talk around feb or so w/ the new settings...




















(boki tileset)

[Mootland Farmer]

Most likely, but I cannot do everything at once. I'd rather finish one thing at a time.

moot i posted to you a couple posts above and you clearly blew me off in anger. I don't appreciate it at all to be honest. Talk time when you log on, bring the paddle

You sound very smart man, hitting me right in the head there too

I always defend what I want and explain why I want it. If someone has a comment/disagrees, I reply to them and try to explain again(and when I think valid points are brought up I adjust).
Instead of you calling people moron's when they do not agree plus not comming with any arguments why you want the stuff you do. To me it seems you're the incompetent mindless staff freak, just like you seemed to be an incompetent BC captain.

ps. you better accept TW is the biggest newbie zone of SS, it's a good thing

[AcidBomber]

nice $
