Twld

[Mattey]

Since TWLD is only going to be one round I think that the amount of deaths should be changed from 10 to 15. It would still fit within the time constraints (the limit could be boosted to 40 minutes and still have the game be under an hour). This would lessen the chance of luck (um...) being a deciding factor in duels.

I could be real long-winded like some other people lately (hey epi), but all I wanna say is that 15 deaths would be a huge improvement to this leagues.

Give feedback and try to convince Epi to change it, maybe someone can give a more articulate argument (damnit I already made fun of Epi) to get this changed.

i'm definately a fan of the 10 death system, the fluke wins are what makes the league interesting, and if a team can't manage to do what they should with 10 lives they shouldn't be given 5 more just for fun.

i'm also a fan of 3 rounds in twl tho. . . but with twd running at the same time it doesn't matter, every1 will get to play some kind of match as opposed to 5+ a sub every week

Actually I think there are two or three subs in TWLD

TWL-D should always be 1 round, 3 rounds take way too much time, especially if a squad asks for a 5 minute delay. You start to backup matches to an extreme. Especially in big games where the players usually take their time.

Besides, if you can't win the 1st round, and not choke, you aren't good.

You enjoy the fluke win factor, but think games should be 3 rounds?

TWLD IS FINISHED*
TWLB LIVES ON
ANARCHY

which is why twd/the twl playoffs and almost every major sports league all incorporate a best of policy?

yes it would take alot of time, which is why it's not very plausible, but if you're gonna make up ideas like your last, at least support it with some evidence that isn't "because rubys aid so"

[CrvenBan]

Best of 3 is way to go, it alows for warm-up, bad games, screw-ups, new tactics and that other crap that you don't get with only one round to 10.
And if you're gonna use bots to run TWL, what's the big fuss about best of 3...extra 30 mins of your wasted time that you could have spent in better way....playing elim.... ?

I think his point about delays is a very valid one. Don't pick on him for one final offhand statement when his point was the first one.

[Mayo Inc.]

I say make it first kill wins. Make it best outta 99 kills, so the first one to 50 wins.

Mattey's got a good idea.

[Force of Nature]

I already had this discussions on old cot's forums. That was a very heated and interesting argument from both sides. This was before the bots and before the last TWL. I've already suggested a 15 deaths and various more improvements.

However, my main opposition came from epi so I don't think this idea will go anywhere. He basically admitted that it was worth a shot but wasn't going to risk it in TWL and maybe it would've been implemented in TWD. But later everyone forgot about it. And life continued

I would do it again but it'll just fall on deaf ears considering TWL is about to start very soon. so no point.

i already agreed it would probably take a lot of time. but then again, squads manage to do 3 or 4 twd's in a row right now, 2 or 3 rounds each, i don't see how one schedualed 3 round game would cause all too many problems

I always thought it should be the first team to get 50 kills and that there should be no death limit. This makes it so that a strong overall team can defeat a team with some star players etc.; because the weak players would die alot. This also strengthens the way teams play as a whole because you have to "pull your own weight" or else the team really feels a blow to it.

[Sufficient]

Wow ... I actually agree with you Mitch ... that is a awesome suggestion.

An idea, but I always enjoy seeing the TWL-D championship, with rounds tied 1-1 and both players at their last deaths (if this every happens). It's SOO intense, and I can't imagine the pressure on the players I'ts pretty cool to see really tight games where there is a one-death difference. With 50kills, I dont know. Would spawning/suiciding would get really annoying.

AND about the 1 round/3 round thing. 3 round for life. It has to be. I don't really know how to back it up, it just makes more sense. The whole fluke/choke thing yeah, and it makes TWL all the more fun.
