Elim - not a rant

[Black Alpha]

This isn't a rant about elim, just an idea. I haven't really thought it through so I'm sure it's probably a bad idea and you'll all falme me for it, but anyway. I suggest we have a number of elim arenas, like ?go elim, ?go elim2 etc. where the usage limits are all different categories. For exaple, 1 elim arena's usage category would be 0-50/100 hours. This would then be the arena for new players. Another elim could have 1000-2000 hours and be an arena for the more experienced players (i'm trying not to say the elites because i know some ppl do get vast amounts of usage and still suck). And then there could be more arenas with usage categories inbetween. By imposing a minimum and maximum usage limit in several different arenas, we could eliminate elite players picking on new players just starting out in elim/trench wars, and we could also stop elites being "lamed" or "newbed" (well, to give them no opportunity to whine, at least).

This probably isn't feasible, but it makes sense to me and I hope there will be some positive feedback rather than just flaming and insults.

I think its a good idea, and if there was a petition or something like that I would sign but there is something "wrong" with it, and it would end of hurting the bandwith or something. Read the other thread the idea was brought up there.

why are you hellzno

There probably aren't that many 1000+ h guys online at the same time that would want to play elim like that, and this idea has been talked about many times before, and I still think it's a good idea.

BooooURNS

If there was a petition I wouldn't sign it. I don't think bandwidth would be a problem or anything... The logistics would work out I'm sure.. I just think it's silly.. Maybe make 2 elims, one for high usage and one for lower... But if I wanted to play with a name that doesn't have high usage, an alias or whatever, I would have to play in the newb arena.. It's just a pain in the ass to have things like that. I don't think we even need the current restriction. Isn't anyone else just interesting in playing the stupid game? Who cares about 1 or 2 people acting like newbies (vets act just as new as newbs anyway) or who has a higher rank or whatever.. Who gives a sh!t lets just play the stupid game!

I think the original restriction was in place so vets couldn't alt-nick or to keep out newbies.

---Why keep out newbies, they are easier to kill. I wish everyone was new. I love newbies.

---Why prevent people from using alt nicks. Who gives a shit? Are we so anal retentive that we need to know who everyone is and make sure that Jack can't take 3 or 4 of the top 10 postions? Does it really matter if I am ranked 640 or 645?

... If only people with high usage were allowed in one, then who would I kill? Anyone with 500 or more hours ownz0rz me ez.

silly idea, most vets come to elim to own some newbies, not play against other vets for any competition the place to be is either twld / wbduel. and maybe twdd after season is over.

btw elim has kept TW alive so far, dont change it

[Mr. Peanuts]

well what about ppl in ?go afk?? some are noobs who are increasing their usage. i think it is a good idea partly.
