4 spid limit and 3 rounds-thoughts?

[Dabram]

maybe if people will enjoy basing again, more people would play it, and it wouldn't be dying so fast.

and it's really not that difficult to get a good special as you make it sound.. there's ton of warbirds and javs out there, and i'm sure there's over 4 people in this game that can count to three and hit tab..

but yeah, i say let everyone use 5 spids if they want. all i want is to have more than the louzy 3 shipchanges, so i can switch da1/pjot etc around when i feel we're needing an extra spider or a wb would be a good choice for the moment. right now i can hardly do anything to change the momentum of the game, and that is idiotic and pisses me off more than having to face the same boring 5 spider-line every bd or lb i play.. if squads want to make a game as boring as possible, well that's your problem, i'm still gonna throw in my jav and wb and beat you up with it.

mega, the point they're all making is simple. you're just sitting here screaming NO NO NO, because all your squad can do is base with 5 spiders and you don't want to lower your chances at winning. While everyone else here is trying to make the game more fun for EVERYONE, not just their squad. Get a grip dude, loosing LB won't kill you.

Your an idiot if you think I'm saying no because it will hurt my chances winning LB for the 4th time. Do the 4 spid limit we will still win I have no doubt in my mind. What your going to do is make the competitive basing squads out there working their asses off to get into playoffs and trying to upset us, spastic, bcrew, brainwave, penetrate. Especially pene and bw who bd constantly and are clearly improving and getting better by the day. All that hard work is going to go down the drain b/c there are about 3 good base javs that are out there and who you think are going to get them? The top 3 squads. You think TWL, especially TWLB has 2 more seasons to wait for each squad to have a top notch LB jav? No it fucking doesn't. The fastest dieing league skillwise is TWLB and if you do this 4 spid bullshit it will die even quicker. But hey lets listen to a guy who came back from not playing for a fucking year and let your march in here pretending you know something, who knows if you even played a TWLB season seriously and your saying all this shit about dice and what I think. Are you a mind reader no? shut the fuck up. I want more competition in TWLB and this season there will be more if people smarten up and don't listen to complete idiots like yourself

this is why. thank you vati

oh, and pssst - someone already destroyed that arguement by vati rather easily.

That tactic would easily fail. lack of spiders allows the other team to easily green a couple of leviathans and bomb the crap outta the fr and go in.

may I ask what the fuck your problem is with me. Sorry I don't feel the need to type an essay on why I think it's the worst idea ever I make it short and to the point. Thanks for the comment though TWL's #1 1st runner up

Let me answer for him. His problem with you is, you aren't making ANY points. Nothing that could hold up as a decent arguement in this topic anyhow. You're just wailing NO don't do it, it'll spoil everything for my squad! You don't need an essay, and you don't need to be a genius to read between the lines on your posts mega.

I approve of a 4 spider limit :thumbsup:

[megaman89]

After watching TWDTB I can safely say that spider limits would hurt TWL. Sure 5 spiders is boring, I admit, but let's face it. There are not enough teams that have competent base javs or wbs. What you will see is laggy javs and wbs destroying TWLB due to the fact that you have to rep before they shoot. Before this can be remedied, please so not expect a 4 spider limit to be a success.

edit: and by the way, if you think 5 spiders is boring, way til you see 3 sharks. Can you say endless cram in 15 minutes?

this is why. thank you vati

[PaulOakenfold]

Maybe because he doesn't really see what your thinking is on the subject. How does he or anyone know if you really thought it through? I agree, an essay isn't necessary.

[megaman89]

Worth a shot even if it doesn't work. Appreciate the input though, superstar.

no limit could be the worst idea EVER.

1 round, if you slack one round then you lose. No excuses and no BS. Give it all or lose. As for basing play 7 spiders if you want. Game shouldn't be nerfed since people can't handle something. Forcing a spider limit is like forcing 1 wb a jav in twld. Foolish....

Web

It's been a while, but I have a small update:

We are getting a new TWL site! woo! It is a long and laborious task, but hopefully you all will like the new and improved version. One of the main improvements over the other site will be an eligibility check. Instead of skimming through forums and trying to make sure none of your players are ineligible, the site will do this for you. Hopefully we will also be able to work this into the TWL bots (as you all may have noticed the bots have not been very cooperative the past few days) also so that it will not allow an ineligible player to be added and thus avoid the forfeit mess from past TWL seasons.

Now, on to business. I ran across a thread a long time ago where it seemed many players would like TWLJ and TWLD games to be 3 rounds instead of 1. What does everyone think?

Also, the 4 spid limit has been brought up. It was used in BWC and now TWDT, should it be implemented in TWL?

One additional point: Cram blocks wont be in TWL, just like how it is now in TWD

[MirrorriM]

After a few days of no limit basing, I'll be trying other limits and tweaking things a bit. Some squads should take advantage and see if they can figure out a new line.

[megaman89]

no limit could be the worst idea EVER.

[Evul Fly]

no.
