speccing to avoid death.

Teehee i learned the speccing thing from PUMA when i was on it forever ago, ill tell u one thing, dont do it while u are dding P_L

I hate laggy people, so I wouldn't mind +1 for every lagout. But I think it's not really fair to first give laggy people some sort of mercy rule, and then punish them because other people take advantage of it.
It's like a parking spot for handicapt people, if a city sees non-handicap people using it they also don't charge extra money for those spots so that non-handicap people rather not use it or something. No, you fine the people who park there without being handicapt.
I think it would be sufficient to put it on the offence list (most people who do it, defend themselves by saying it isn't illegal) and be sure to have more mods hanging around in TWD-arena's. If you know that getting caught is going to cause you trouble you won't do it.
For instance: getting caught once is a warning (that doesn't go away in 7 days, because otherwise you just allow people to use it once in a week)
second time is a warning and getting subbed. Third time is a ban from TWD and no substitute allowed for the team. I think that the mayority will refrain from doing it as soon as it's made illegal, because most people just know it's lame but not illegal.

EDIT: on the other hand I am afraid this will cause favoritism (squads with moderators and such will have an advantage because noone will ever be getting away with it if there is staff on the opposing team.

what is pl going to do? ban u? :P

he can't warn u becoz it is not agianst the rules, it just lame

add a death would work great

The only reason it works in TWL is bc u got a ref overseeing the game. He can check how laggy a person is if he lagged out on his own or not. He can also be watching the game and see if the person does it. TWD doesnt have that.

I also think its stupid to give -1 for a lagout bc some ppl simply just lagout in games. Especialy sinc TW has been so laggy lately. I like Tahkis' idea of just lowering the # of lagouts to 1-2 per game instead of 3. You definatly cant punish someone for doing something wrong if they havnt dont something wrong.

welcome to life & to the real world

if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

the system is fine as it is.

sometimes you're lagging, maybe you have to take a quick phone call, maybe you're playing a team you hate (ALF) and theyre rushing you 5v1 into a corner off a badly landed spawn, youre 1-3 to start, and you can rejoin in a spawn free area and regroup and avoid getting spawned.

If you have the energy to spec, I don't see the problem. If someone has you 4v1 in a corner you can probably suicide out of it just as well. Having the choice to suicide or reserve your life and your opponents is a decision I like to have, and in the face of lag/hiccups 3 lagouts are essential, and getting penalized a death for it is retarded.

Having an initial 3 lagouts, then penalizing 1 death for every lagout afterwards, now that is perhaps a more sensible proposal. During a 2 week period of spikes I cost my team 4 rounds in TWDD because I was last man in and lagged out. I was 50 ping 0.1 except for the occasional hiccup, perfectly playable in the view of my opponents, but I still lost with plenty of lives lives left, and would have seemed a godsend for extra lagouts with a death attached to it.

You can't classify a spec as cheating, because you have full energy. The choice to let peoples lag, their lives (phones and real life shit), and escaping spawns/hopeless suicide situations is one we should have.

CHOICE.

IMHO every thing is well balanced.

If someone runs and you can't kill him and he gets recharged again so that he can spec, you suck.

It happens all the time when I am javing <_<

it's not a bug, it's a feature
seriously

seriously :hug:

[AcidBomber]

Add a death for lagging out

I've heard that's gonna happen in TWD next season?! true? :wub:
It'll be nice to stop ppl from laming. -_-

[Golden_Aim]

Less lagouts but more subs. Am i the only one out there who sees the benefits of more substitutions?

I agree! There should be atleast 2 subs per team this same thing should be in twl too.

[tahkis]

There are 2 subs in twl.

[ogron]

There are 2 subs in twl.

owned.

I also think the system is fine right now. The adding a death if you lagout is lame, this will screw over people who ACTUALLY lag. Why not if someone lags out and does /!lagout to bot get a -energy prize so they lose all their energy, that way its treated like a warp, cause it kinda is. This would make it so people wouldn't want to spec or quit and they wouldn't lose deaths. Face it, would you wanna be put back in the game with no energy? Even real lagouts should get it also, because they were specced out of the battle and may have died soon, so it would be like a warp also being put back in. This probly wouldnt be too nice in twl though, because spawns are important.. Who knows, what do you guys think about that idea?

[Due]

just add the damn kill.

it is really funny when staff ppl are spaccing to avoid deaths.
