To the powers that be:

PLEASE lower the amount of points lost upon death. Our regulars, the ones I like to play with, the ones who have made these servers so popular aren't showing up for the matches we once had. I have talked with alot of em, and they just don't like or understand why we have to lose avg 50 pts/death.

The ones that do show up, quite often, end up leaving cause they are sick of loosing all these points. Besides that, its stupid. The points don't go to anyone, they just disappear.

If you insist on taking away points from the top players at a higher rate, then I propose the max points you lose is double what the killer gets.

I was 50:10 last night on Goldrush and down points for that map. How ridiculous is that?

I know this has been debated before, but now we are seeing the ramifications for the outrageous point losses. The loss of our regular players.

Can I exchange Giller points for mustache cream and a pony?


I am okay with Mrs. Crawdad not giving me pie, as we all know the path to righteousness can only be found through the rising goodness of cake. Biscuit-cake, that is.




Wait, what do points have to do with ability? I find that my points are always quite low, but my value to the team as comedic influence is priceless. I should get points for each drunken Haiku I improv on the spot. I should get even more points when I make a joke nobody gets, cuz that's art, bitches.

You can call me a whiner/bitcher/complainer all you want, but the fact of the matter is that lately I've seen more of the {pDs} regulars over on CMS's server than on The Tempests.

I am for it. Yea or nay it will be decided.

Cake is Satan's loofah. Pie is the most holy of foods. I will not have the name of pie blasphemed in the house of the lor... a forum where nothing of real importance happens, without a strong waving of my finger coupled with a spiteful glare!

Good day sir

You'd be surprised how many good players are in the top 30 that don't have a lot of time spent on the server, and are indeed good players. I know most of the people that make up the top ranks, and I can easily say that most of them are good players. There are some people that have good ranks simply because they have hours upon hours on the server, but there are more that are up there because they are consistently on top at the end of the round.

This is pretty accurate. I usually am just hanging around Tempest 2 and I'm still not getting sick of 2Fort but when I want to play other maps I'll probably head over to the [CMS] server to check it out. I see more of my friends playing on that server than Tempest 1 or 6.

Also I approve of losing less points when you die simply becuase my jumping demo antics drain my points.

I don't really care about the points either, but it's just a case of frustration. While I know very well how little they matter, it still sucks to be #1 frag list, high ktd, and at a loss of points on the map. Even more frustrating when you're watching other guys you know are good gamers sitting back playing non-point-loss classes like engy just because they don't want to lose their points. I don't think ANYONE here actually cares about the points as if they matter, we don't really need them as a virtual pissing contest, but they're there. And just like the frag list, they make the game just that tad bit more fun and interesting. That happening, it just sucks when you get points peeled off like nobodys business.

I admit i have a problem, I still enjoy playing 2fort on temp2. But damned if I'm playing "its raining large scottish cyclopian ebony adonises" and forfeiting a boatload of points just because I'm having fun. So I play engy....and get bored and head over somewhere else or just play some other game.

It's NOT that points matter, but they're there. And because of that, it affects the game. Taking them off of temp3 would literally make that game more fun to play. Having them there, and seeing it affect everything else, even though again, I know they don't matter, it still just gets annoying. And if I'm getting rolled by someone because I'm busy being stupid or drinking, its just one more annoyance that I don't want to deal with.


Quack.
