Disable blueout? Blueout only for spectators?

[qan]

If we'd like either cap to be able to turn blueout on, how should it work?

Assuming it's something like this:

- Game starts with blueout off.
- Cap from squad A turns on blueout.
- Cap from squad B can not turn off blueout. Only Cap A can turn off blueout at this point.

Basically, both squads have a flag for blueout being enabled or disabled, and if either flag is up, then blueout's on.


Does everyone mostly agree this is the way it should be?

Don't over-complicate it, pick either:
- What it currently does
- What it did before

[qan]

What it did before was not allow anyone to turn off blueout, even when both caps agreed to turn it off. The code was broken for more than 15 years.

I don't think it's very complicated to say: if one cap wants blueout on, it's on. This is the behavior shown in other zones. I'm guessing you're painting it as complicated because you'd prefer blueout to be always on.

Nah just trying to help.

My personal preference is blueout off and trolls banned :P

This seems like a good middle ground.

Exactly this

[qan]

I'll put this in if everyone agrees this is how it should work.

FWIW this has been really successful from the games I've played in. Yes, there was a spike of trash talking from some usual suspects, but by and large it really helps ease the tension. There's always ?nopubchat if you think you might get triggered and it'll give you your safe space back.

Thanks to Qan for being so receptive to make changes.

[qan]

Blueout changes are in. One cap can now enable it if things get out of hand.

It's fine the way it is, trash talk is part of sports IRL. Most active players are assistant anyways, if there really is a problem just toggle it with the bot. TWD should be more relaxed, leave chat silent for TWL. You millennials need tougher skin....

Please perma mute Beam, thx hahah.. guy so toxic..

Def I agree with nipple. TWL shud have blue-out mandatory. I don't mind TWD banter.
