Time race basing

[Jason]

Sounds perfect, dude.

I like the idea of time based.. but still has the same issues abot stats as point race and wadi mentioned the idea of the "kill" and how people value playing to kill i think. Also how points have always been how games have been judged by. What really is nice about time based is that it gives wbs/javs a slight advantage because in point race javs/wb's don't get enough points so you have to hold base LONGER and in point race it's not about holding it longer just holding it. I really just want to play and are getting sick of all these discussions! Lets decide on a format and make TWD have the option of all three formats and either have it so u challenge someone in whichever game option u want OR you challenge, get accepted and then u choose a format, and the bot flips a coin to decide which one.. For twl, its another story... So let's get the show on the road already!

well the bot is done and tested, make ppl play it in ?go base already

[Pure_Luck]

will do bud:P

every couple minutes get it to say "Randedl is a king among kings"

and put in a streak module (kill 5 in a row, get it announced)

Spiders usually kill in streaks esp when cramming. This would only give u spam.

If u change it from 5 kills to 10 kills, then ok.

BTw, i was playing Time Race a few times today and i must say that its a really good idea. Games have become a lot more competitive as getting into the base is a lot more urgent. In this case, games that last really long are extremely fun. Ppl are still using the cram much more than any other things and it seems terrs are gambling a lot more. SO ya.

lets test it !

this mvp thing is kinda stupid, the one with most flag touches gets mvp, holding the flag is more important, the team holds it, the one with most points should get mvp, he kills the most..

For one thing, that is wrong; Force of Nature programmed the bot, and admitted that he didn't even implement a MVP feature, so it's giving it out somehow randomly. I got MVP in shark 2x yesterday and the first time I had the least points, and the 2nd time I was somewhere in the middle. I am sure I didn't have the most flag touches.

Also, there have been lots of times when the person who kills the most doesn't get MVP. You could have 100-0 and only have 500 points, if you never had the flag the entire game.

They are trying to come up with an MVP system that would let ANYONE in ANY ship have a good chance of getting it. I don't know if that is going to be possible, though, since there are 3 distinct types of ships: attacking, defending, and staying-alive-so-people-can-attach.

I think whatever forumla we decide for TWL is the one that should be used for TWD. THey should be as close as possible when it comes to qualifying.

If this is what is delaying TWL, then ffs just start it. You had a poll already, close it and make the winning format the one used in TWD and TWL. Time race isn't good enough to delay the season more, it can wait for Season 8. And that would also leave you a long testing time.

The MVP thingie sucks. It should be as it was: Most points.
In other ways, this basing is good. The games don't always last 20minutes but sometimes they almost do.

[Desperate]

I think ?go base should be to 15 mins, and TWLB and TWBD to 20 mins. 10 is just too short.

I like this time race, its better than worrying about points so people don't wuss out and stay out of base if they're ahead.
