Why 1 Round?

[Vandroy]

Because when theres a game its usually 11pm in Finland. If there were 2 or more rounds we wont have enough time to drink alkohol unlike u living in America. dunno what the clock is there then.. i quess 6pm? U have plenty of time to shag and drink after the game anyway. we dont.

rand, read over my post i said "MINOR" change in number of deaths. obviously there is going to be differences between a 10 and 100 and point game. even comparing the differences between a 10 and a 100 death game though, the only real difference is that people wouldnt be able to be focused long enough to play the right style the entire game....however the right style still would be a patient one. and dont try to draw any comparisons between deathmatches which mean jack shit and no one ever concentrates on and twld where im sure no one will have any problem focusing for an extra few deaths. if you cant concentrate in a wb to 15 then gtfo of twl jesus.

frankly, saying that adding 5 extra deaths is going to turn twld into a suicide fest is retarded. everyone will still want to win just as badly, and the best way to win will still be patience, therefore, thats what people will still do.

and i'm just saying, what can you do with 15 deaths that you can't do with 10?

play a little longer.

lol rand....exactly veranthi...isnt that the whole point of this post...to figure out a way to get the games a little closer to 30 minutes?

Arrr ya newbie Escalate, thought you dropped off the face of the earth. Anyway our match is tomorrow at 5 pm eastern time. Hope you're enjoying your vacation.

[Randedl]

that's a hypothetical, who's to say that players don't just see 15 deaths instead of 10 and decide to spend them quicker

[Escalate]

randedl, saying that a game to 15 will last the same amount of time as a game to 10 is ridiculous.

[Ison]

10 or 15??

I have to agree with Rand here..
With 15 lives you won't be as carfull as you are with 10, therefore you will spend them faster. The game length might increase, but only for 1-2 minutes and that won't do much of a change..

[Escalate]

1-2 minutes?

yeah ok...

add 5 deaths in twl and all of a sudden everyone is going to turn into a rushing suiciding moron in such a way that the games last the same amount of time despite there being 50% more deaths. no one is going to care about winning enough to play the patient style that yields the best results. i know if i had 5 extra deaths in a twl id be a maniac...i mean who cares about playing well now! you got 5 extra deaths! give me a fuckin break. i cant even argue with such retarded logic.

you guys have this concept of people "spending deaths", and if they had more they'd just "spend more deaths"...wtf is that bs. you dont "spend deaths", most ppl in twl play very cautiously, try to avoid death at all costs while getting off decent shots. THAT IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE UNLESS PEOPLE STOP CARING ABOUT WINNING. its not going to change because you add a few deaths.

we witness it in 10 death twlds every week, things wouldn't change.

games don't last 30 minutes because people play them too fast, not because they don't have enough lives.

i like the current game system and i dont see any reason why we should change ....

the league structure might have improvements once the current league ops have some leagues under their curriculum and gain more experience we will benefit alot ...

the one round in regular season is good , and it should never be 3 rounds , not only because its alot of time u compromise to the game but also because it provides for upsets during regular season ... im pretty sure value for ex could beat elusive in one round but couldnt in 3 ....

then in the playoffs where the best team should really win and u want to determine who that is for sure , u have the 3 round system... the league is very well thought of and the only thing that needs changing is a few cool addons once in a while to keep interest and a brushup on the rules from time to time....

... im pretty sure value for ex could beat elusive in one round but couldnt in 3 ....

So you put emphasis on luck in the game? Obviously if they beat them once and can't beat them twice in a row then they don't deserve the win more than Elusive. Three rounds would only make the game more accurate, and further eliminate luck wins.

[Randedl]

no such thing as a luck win, if you win or lose a game it happens because of the way the game was played and who played, not luck.

making 3 rounds in anything but the playoffs would probably see the intensity of such games go down.

instead of a 1 game winner take all, you get a couple chances at the can. . . i don't like it

[Escalate]

rand, im done arguing about it. however, if epinephrine allows the 15 death thing to be tested, you will be proven wrong at that time. to say that having 15 deaths instead of 10 will not significantly lengthen the games is outside the realm of common sense.

and abou the 3 rounds thing...jesus randedl, where do u come from with your arguments? its almost like you just like making up ridiculous illogical arguments just for the sake of disagreeing with someone. there is no luck in TW? give me a break, theres luck in every competition and an extreme amount of luck in a 1-hit-kill zone such as TW. even if you want to consider lucky shots as good shots, and dont want to consider any kind of luck in the open fighting aspect of TW, you must acknowlegde that there is luck involved in a zone where you can be spawned 3 or 4 times in a round if you are unlucky enough to pop up with your enemy staring right at the back of your ship a few times.
