?go base disucssion

[paska]

There were people who liked 10 minute crams? Whoa.

There were ppl who liked fr fights without the chaos. Now if you get a td enemy can just get straight back in without much effort. Its just fr fight after another, (not boring?). Basing used to have fr fights AND cram. Maybe this whole thing was a conspiracy arranged by the wbs and javs to kill basing..

Kill TWSD.

I'm on paska's side!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

paska knows what he's talking about. I love fr fights as much as the next guy, but 10 minute crams were the shit! :wub:

There used to be fr fights and lining.

Don't need to make conspiracies when the basers will do all the dirty work for themselves.

How about you just play purepub? It's dead most of the time now anyway, so the ?go base elitism is less justified. Give pointers to noobs instead of condescending or ignoring them. If you want to play with only 3 different ships instead of 7 or 8, and you only want to play the exact same cram you've played millions of times instead of a different cram every time, that's what leagues are for.

My $0.02 says ?go base should go the way of the dusky seaside sparrow.

might drum up some interest (albeit temporary most likely) to have an 8 team ?go base tourny like the ones we used to have now and again

Please consider this ?go base idea:

The problem with auto-bots is if I am always getting adverts about ?go base games with 13 players then I will begin to not not pay attention to the adverts. If ?go base is starting with 13 players then after a few times of that happening I will begin to lose interest. And if I know that no one from staff started it and it's just some random caps then I begin to feel that ?go base is losing its elite qualities. I like the fact that ?go base used to be an arena where you're lucky to get picked. I would spend hours in that arena as a newby and just hope to get picked, hope to get noticed, knowing that elite players and staff members were actively running it day in and day out. I think we can make ?go base as exciting as possible with the smaller number of available players by doing the following:

What we need is a bot that records the stats of each game and tallies them up accordingly. Specifically, at the end of every game, the bot will list the number of points every player received, and add that to their over-all total number of points which would also be listed. The winning freq's captain would get a bonus of some kind, players from the winning freq could get x2 points, ideas for this are more then welcome.

I have pushed for this idea in the past, and perhaps it is too much coding for a dying game, but I would like to provide my personal guarantee, from a guy who has played roughly 5000 ?go base games, that if every ?go base game I played was tallied up over time, then I would regain my interest because I would know that every game really matters. I would get mad at people for playing stupid because it affects my chances of getting maximum points and being #1 on a new ?go base website. My interest in ?go base would increase to where it used to be. Please take this idea into consideration. Implementing this idea for ?go wbduel may be a good idea as well.
