Take away the scoreboard

[brookus]

The rule :

10.13 Hiding in an arena or refusing to fight, will not be tolerated. If a player is found to be hiding or refusing to fight, that player will be warned. If the player does not comply within 60 seconds, the player will be specced and given a score of 0 points and may be substituted if one is available.

llater,
Tony

Yeah ... just look at the rules. Running and hiding are illegal. But there is a blurry line btwn backing out at mid and running. Light definitely "backed out" ... but does that constitute "running"?

It's stupid to require someone to try to attack base.. if you know it's gonna lose it for you in the last 30 seconds, you just woudln't attack BUT you can require someone to be within a certain area.. I think if you go to mid, that's all you can really expect of someone.

Possible to make scoreboard only viewable in spec? Or to lock players in the game or on their team's freq from accessing the !score command? Beats me, I don't know bots.

That's why getting rid of any way to check score is the best solution. It makes sure that both teams base the entire 30 minutes instead of only 25, like the Light game.

TWLB is suppossed to be about the flag right? So why do we even use points to determine the winner? Shouldn't the winner simply be the team that has the flag the longest? Just a thought...

25? Man if we stopped at 25 it would've been 107k - 68k, I would've liked that. Too bad what you said didn't happen!

sigh..

if a squad decides to run away the last 30 seconds i can understand it, it's still your own fault you got behind. if a squad runs away 5 minutes before timer runs out (never seen it happen) of course the other team should get the win..

and then you have terrs like wp who don't pay attention to scores, time or chat and rushes back to base in the last 5 seconds and makes sure we lose a match with 100pts..

-_-

anyway maybe best thing would be to have a race to 100k pts or 125k something in that area.

Was this ever considered?

Would totally eliminate people going for personal records etc. as well, totally team oriented.

Yeah ... that's an interesting point. It maybe could be a seperate league, one where the longer you hold the flag determines the winner. One bad point about this is that the team w/o the flag will always have to rush up and be very aggressive. This sorta limits the types of strats you can use. One good thing though is that teams will start to favor wb and jav since they can get rid of the nme terr or groups of nmes.
