cheater!

it's amazing how different the response is from the community about the same thing when someone else proposes it

don't be a hater

giving the 30-80 people in spec the ability to see an additional LIVE piece of information would just create that much more lag for everyone to the point where that energy level status is not even accurate...

if anything make it a option that people can turn on and off, so by default it comes as off in ?go twld but by clicking like help menu and setting to display the energy levels to on would turn it on... no need to send useless information to people in brasil and so fourth..

other then that, good idea..

[kthx]

No it wouldn't.

[Turban]

No it wouldn't.

+1

Lets just ignore what Squadless said. :fear:

I'm more than down for that, given I already proposed this idea in a different thread. So go for it.

The only potential usefull thing I see from this is that when for example in javs a bullet gets ignored, you can warn your teammate to take that into account.
Aside from that I think if your awereness of opponents nrg is so bad you cannot figure it out yourself and you think that could be usefull, my tip to you would be: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT PLAY TWL CAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY SUCK ASS!

Awareness of an opponent's energy has become much more important now that rushing is the primary style of play (I almost goofed and used the word "skill"). I wouldn't use this to cheat (way too much effort involved) but some of us got by just fine with absolutely no idea how to judge another player's energy level. But I'll take your advice just the same

Anyways, I think it's a great idea because I still enjoy watching TWL matches and this might add to the anticipation buildup for viewers.

[JeBu]

2 screens or 2 computers another id keep speccing yourself so you can cheat that way.

Would make twl a bit more fun. Watching twl games isnt fun for the game itself, but talking to people in spec and watching them trash talk each other and the people playing is fun. This would add a bit more. Not a lot, but fuck you if you disagree with me.

There was an argument between vt and sirius (on this thread or another, I don't remember) about whether it would help people learn to play. I sort of thought of it like watching two people play chess, you can see where people move, but unless you understand the reasons behind it you wont learn anything. And if you do understand why people move (ie pressure this piece, to create an opening 5 turns later, etc) then why would you need to watch how other people play anyway?

Basically I vote (lol) to include this in twl. There's low chance of it being abused and it would make spectating twl games more fun.
