TWL Qualification Rules and Updates!! READ THIS!!

[Sumpson]

There is a one terr limit, 2 shark limit, 0 levi limit and 0 weasel limit... why can't there be a 4 spider limit
If people don't want 4 spider limit because it limits you to play a desired team, remove all limits cause i want to play with 4 sharks and 2 terrs and 2 spiders.....

either make 4 spider limit or no limit at all already ffs
Every better player thinks of it this way... just cause those retarded people that can just camp and sit in a spot and shoot up or down the cram want it not to be touched cause it will get harder for them if they have to implement a ship that actually requires a decent amount of tactic/skill doesn't mean they have to be listened to...

Almost makes you sound like a good player..

We are all used to the current limits, they are standard in the game we play. they belong to the gameplay of this game called "Basing". Because of this, I don't see them as limits.
I don't feel forced to put in 2 sharks and 1 terrier. I would feel forced to put in 4 spiders, because I would like to add 5 spiders. there is where the limit starts to me.

Why do I not like to be limited to 4 spiders? because it limits the competition in my opinion.
If squads choose for 5 spiders it is because they think this is the best way of basing. I don't think it would be a good thing to not have squads play at their best level in league.

Sumpson, i remember a past thread you said something about the basing scene being boring...trying to change the map that we were all used too...well since that idea pretty much went down the drain, this would be the perfect way to spice the league up a bit...get it back on track...i guess

hmm misunderstood

[Sumpson]

Indeed misunderstood, I came up with some total different style of basing for those who wanted change. It was in addition of the normal basing, I never wanted that to change. Instead of making a small changement to the current basing those who wanted change could play something with a real change.

I tried to find a solid argument in this post and failed. Someone please explain?

Whenever you discuss something you end up in a paradox Sumpson, you want base to be competative, but on the other hand you want it limited in the style you feel most comfortable with.
Most competative and 'the lineup I am used to' don't go together in your argument.
Just because people got used to the idea of 5 spiders doesn't mean it's the most competative team you can come up with. Most people play ?go base where the 5-spider-line is no longer standard, so I think only you will have a nervous breakdown when you can no longer use 5 spiders.

Yes, split up the basingcommunity even more, wouldn't it be great to have two base-leagues of 4 teams?

So you don't want basing to be more fun because being boring belongs to the gameplay of this game called "Basing"?

For the latter argument, squads don't play 5 spids because "they think this is the best way of basing". They play it because it's the most effective lineup allowed. I'm ready to bet they'd switch to 3 sharks if that was ever made possible.

Right I end up in a paradox? what's that supposed to mean? I will just try and reply to your arguments instead of attacking you. That's all you succeeded at in your reply.

Limited in the style I feel most comfortable with? Like I said, I feel like having no limits now and would feel having a limit when having to put in 4 spiders.

To have squads being most competitive they can be. They need to be able to have their best line up. What you are saying is that a 4 spider team is better than a 5 spider team. Than what do we need this 4 spider limit for? the stupidity of a squad would pay off right..

[Dwopple]

yea....i dont find a solid arguement either sumpson....

[Zerzera]

Ow I misunderstood your argument, I thought you meant the league as a whole to be the most competative, but it's actually only about your own squad not being able to cope with a 4-spiderlimit.

[Sumpson]

Doesn't it count for all squads? If a squad is better with 4 spiders and a jav than a squad with 5 spiders they can play with it.
Like I said before, this way all squads can play at their best level.

When in doubt ... blame it on the settings ... that's what I do =) ... hi zerz.

Paradox = Adox = Orthadox = Unorthadox

Sumpson loves me, subliminally

[Vehicle]

He meant paradox in the literary sense. For a definition: One exhibiting inexplicable or contradictory aspects.

And sumpson, your argument is in no way grounded, i'm sorry. You keep saying "To have squads being most competitive they can be," or something to that extent. And the only reason for having this feeling would be that you are overlooking the meaning behind a 4 spider limit. Every squad would have one, not just yours. Thus, the playing field is still equal, and every squad is equally as competitive.

And to say that you are so "comfortable with these limits that you consider them to be part of 'basing'" is completly ass-backwards. These limits were not always in place, you used to be able to play with 2 terr's in ?go base, and for a while you were not able to use a cloaker there. (Granted ?go base doesn't really constitute TWLB, but it's still the primary aspect of the basing community.) And after a season or two of a 4 spider limit, the limit would become indistinguishable in regard to the other's.

The point is, a 4 spider limit would allow for a more competitive TWLB season. A 4 spider limit would add some panash to the basing scene (and hopefully re-boost interest.) A 4 spider limit would be another limit that would evenutally assimilate into the realm of "just another limit." And, the most important one for you, Sumpson, a 4 spider limit would not give ANY squad a competitive edge.

Nethi, i'm calling you our like whoa, re-make a poll on the issue. Because as far as I can see, the majority is in favor of imposing a limit.


Edit: I see the old poll is still up, i'd still prefer a fresh one though. One where only players participating in past TWL seasons would be able to vote. (I know it's not possible, but sorry.)

Edit #2: Sumpson, my squad plays at it's best level with 4 sharks, 2 terrs, and 2 levi's, should I be entitled to this lineup?
