Remove Random Picks in ?go baseelim and ?go elim

[destroy]

There isn't anything more irritating than logging onto Trench Wars, going to elim or baseelim, and looking at what robo has picked for you to play: weasel race to 3. Does anyone ever go like "YES, finally an elim worthy of my talent, weasel elim to 3! May the best man win " or "SWEET!!!, Levi elim! Holyshit here comes my blue ship!"? I think not.

There isn't a necessity to keep the random picks around in the elimination arenas. Why? because now you can pick whatever you want to play, whether it is javs, or wbs, or spiders, or sharks. Back when both elimination arenas were one arena, people complained that warbirds and javelins got too repetitive, and so the random picks were introduced. Now, random picks aren't needed.

Let's get the random picks out from our elimination arenas.

[Awesome]

Originally a reply by myself to a post in another resent thread:Thread: New Elim :: Author: mcpgh

if you're going to make a 3rd elim arena, do it as follows:[list=1][*]?go elim: hosted by Robo Ref. Only Warbird elims to 5-10
[*]?go baseelim: hosted by Robo_Ref. Only Javelin elims to 5-10
[*]?go crapelim: hosted by Robo-Ref. This one is for all your real 36 hour users who fully appreciate the crapy games like Weasel race to 3, Shark/Terrier elim to 3, Warbird/Jav elims to 1, Spider/Lanc elim to 5, Any ship race to 15. In summary, all the random shit the first 2 Robo's currently have that people who want to get their first win ever like to vote for.[/list=1]

In conclusion, i agree.

I agree with some of it, but when u go see "cloaker elim to 3" it only take but 3 minutes till the bot specs everyone. The shark elims are the more annoying ones and terr. They take forever! But u need these random elims or else ppl who vote for these other ships never get to play them. I think maybe just make it so random dont appear so often, make it longer between appearences. Dont remove it all, i personaly luv spider elims.

agreed

[Malladrin]

I do not agree, I love playing shark elims

[Cig Smoke]

as well do the minority of players, the majority like jav. Thats why shark is rarely ever voted in itself. Thats why i said just make it so random appears LESS, instead of how it currently is.

Do people ever say "SWEET, JAVS TO 10!!" or "Cool, warbirds, my favourite!"?

[Awesome]

My idea is the best because it makes ?go elim and ?go baseelim pure wbs & javs to 10 respectively. a 3rd elim, which i just named ?go crapelim accomodates the few others who love to play those gay games just so they can get a shot at having an elim win.

therefore, everyone wins.

[Lucon]

That's a little stupid, Awesome. People should be able to pick whatever they want to play. If you did that, we'd never be able to have the spider elims, or my personal favorite, the any ship elims. Not to mention we may want to have a few less kills or something for some reason.

[Verthanthi]

Wait, he's saying he would devote an an entire arena to the non standard elims, and you're saying that will reduce the amount they get hosted?

[Kim]

I can see the rankings in CrapElim now......ahhhh lovely ^____^

[Cig Smoke]

Rofl, but its a good idea.

[Awesome]

Yes Lucon

?go elim = WBS ONLY to 5 or 10 ONLY
?go baseelim = JAVS ONLY to 5 or 10 ONLY

and the one you can be ranked #1 in:

?go crapelim ... which allows the players to play any of the following

WBS to 1, 2, 3, or 4
JAVS to 1, 2, 3, or 4
SPIDERS to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10
LEVIATHANS to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
TERRIERS (in base) to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5
WEASEL RACE (in flagroom) to 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5
LANCASTERS to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10
SHARKS (in base) to 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5

...so what's the problem Lucon, your personal favorites get played more and dont interfere with my (and half of the other people in elim/baseelim) games of preference.

everybody wins.

although this is a lot of talk about nothing since no matter how much of the tw population wants this, as long as 1 person disagrees (such as lucon), staff will never do ANYTHING about it.

Awesome 4 Dean of Staff so some changes can be made

The problem is that nobody will play in the non-standard elim games. So there won't be enough players to really play them correctly. Non-standard elim's are fun.


Destroy, Awesome and Apt suck.

[Cig Smoke]

They are fun at times, but not all the time. Its kind of stupid to have to wait 30 minutes for a game of shark elim to end, or terr elim for that matter. Every once in awhile is ok, but they come up to much. As for cloaker, thats no biggy bc it ends fast.
