New LT idea to decrease Gayness...I call it No Faggots Mod

Fuck I feel like the goddamn post master today... Anyways, check this shit out, see what you guys think...

Playing in a server capable of 25 players is fun. Occasionally, especially early in LT when people were fucking stupid still, it was still fun. Nowadays though, with each team having 8 LD, it's becoming Mission:Gay.

SO THEN, while taking a crap I came up with this idea...

A Randomized set of two 5 man teams playing in 10 minute maps while the other players obs the action.

If you've ever played Quake or it's various mods, you'll get the idea pretty quickly..

Basically, you get the 25 people, throw 10 into two teams, and have a 10 minute clock. Have a good rotation and everyone else obs's the server (this will basically cut down on cheating as well.. 15 ppl watching u?? hoho stop hilltracking :o )

Put the caps at like 5, and you'll get a lot of short, but fun games.. Heaven has enough active admins to make sure that it remains fairly even, and the script could keep the teams full automatically.

This should also help the people who just plain suck at LT (what's wrong with you) because they can play in smaller games with good ppl, and obs others to get tips etc.. There's no real strat in a 10 minute LT scrim, so there's nothing to fear with OBSing..

What do you guys think.. ?????

I think you need to go back to your tiolet and evaluate this some more.

Ok well I do have to poop again

Actually thats not a bad idea....but it would never work.

not enuff players left.....

Heh I've got an idea of how to get the faggets out the mod...

entirely not true. Anyways, for once joe has come up with something that i agree with; but who/how can someone create that? itd be so buggy for a VERY long time. Plus changing the cap limit to 5 would be difficult (im not sure if thats true, but it seems like it). Besides that it sounds like a good idea to me, but how do you keep it from putting a player that has already played once back on a team before someone who hasnt played? And isnt this "mod" just like a constant PU?...

Who wants to sit and watch? I goto a server to play

cool idea
would suck for the couple of people that have to wait a map and then get screwed and not get to play the next one but still sounds good

in response to creative's thing about changing cap limits, its ez lol. But i dont like this idea, best thing i've found is to admin a server over to a gay map, have ppl leave, change back to a good map and make 2 ppL captains... and one gets first pick, other chooses sides. alternate picks till' ur done, like when u play b-ball in gym

anyway it makes for good teamplay, and assigned pos's (captain chooses). Fun for all, but the games bcome standoffs easily. Anywho, thats all i know to do for now,

also, anyone who joins AFTER game start, cant join (cuz its tourney'ed), and either sits, or is Tc'ed in.

blah, to much typing lol

yah thnx stress, we here at tribes call that a Pickup, and we have them all the time...

Btw why change maps back and forth.. why not just tourny..

I like the idea solely for the fact that it forces 5v5. Yes, it would suck if you didn't get to play one map but you wouldn't have to wait long until the next map and your next chance.

Rules of economics would then apply: there wouldn't be too many people waiting in obs because their chance of getting picked decreases exponentially. So they leave. This balances out the probability of getting picked for the next map.

If you made the mod so that people who just played don't get picked for the next map (unless there aren't enough people), then this idea would work.

just imagine for a moment the chaos of accusing each other for cheating and not to mention learning each others routes and start copying them, but definitely imagine who be accusing who blah blah blah,

Stealing routes?? This game is 5 years old :o Cheat accusations will fly, but they always have and always will.. If anything, it should cut down on blatant cheating..Hey maybe you can get the ladder admins to actually play their ladder again!!

i think its a great ideal and would like to see it done. Mr bunny

yeah
sorry i didnt read all of the above msgs too lazy lol
but if someone said that the people who have been waiting in obs the longest some how have first priority on playing the next map, thatd be great

someone make it. now.

JM is a former quake "champion" in Canada or so he claims. Go back to playing quake in canada and stfu.
