ReLoaDeD Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 My opinion: Sometimes this command gets used to fast. I think this doesnt belong to a marathon server. Sometimes the game ends faster than they do in an AOW server. Maybe we could add a time limit of 1 hour before we can use this command? This way you realy have to fight to win. Instead of giving up at the beginning when 1 building gets killed.
BillieJoe67 Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 The time limit is a good idea, but taking it out completely is going to result in a mass ragequit of the losing team if they have no buildings and the other team is pissing around sniper whoring, which is what happens the majority of the games I've played. Your point about fighting to win is valid, but if, as I've already mentioned, the other team has maybe 2 vehicles and 50 million sakuras/havocs, are you really motivated to even leave your spawn point? I know I'm not
Guest Animoski Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I was thinking about disabling !poll gameover - and possibly add a time limit (like, 3 or 4 hours) so that maps eventually do end. I don't know if we can consider ourselves marathon (something we're known for) at that point however. :/
Feda Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Cmon billie is right.. however if u wanna give up marathon 3 hours isnt a bit too much?
Guest WNxBuBBle Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 You usually have to have some people from the other team for the vote to pass anyway. Also, some people use it to skip maps they don't like.
Feda Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 What if the majority wants to end and 4 ppl.want to continue snipering killwhore? Should it continue? I dont think so... Why to disable it? i know sometimes its being abused but its not that frequent and would be worse without it. Thats my opinion.

f1r3st0rm Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 you should make !poll stop bitching <nickname> and whoever gets votes gets muted
Wyld1 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I agree it should be removed and we have enough staff that can properly judge if all the players want the game to end or if it is a valid stalemate. Sometimes though players get lazy and teamwork would win a game which makes ultimate gaming fun. So I can see a !poll gameover being incorrectly used. Wyld
D4rX Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Whatever you do, do NOT add a timelimit. Omg lol. That'd be the worst decision ever.
dronez4 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 well, theres always a !shun command.. whoever abuses the !poll gameover so frequently can be shunned for 24/48 hours.. so i think its fine how it is, were pretty much always around anyway..
Mikey Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Whatever you do, do NOT add a timelimit. Omg lol. That'd be the worst decision ever. +1. People are always gonna want something different with this poll, not everyone will be happy some will say they want it and some will say the time limit is too long/short bla bla. IMO it would be a good idea for one of the admins to make a poll and then the players can vote via the poll what they want and the majority of the votes wins, seems a no brainer lol 1
SmiLey Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I love Marathon, many games where it lasted longer than it should, I dealt with it. Numerous times I've been on the losing team but instead of complaining what the other team is doing, I manage to sneak into their base and killed it alone. You guys should realize the server is a "Marathon" type server and if you obviously have a problem with the gameplay during situations, then you should leave and join another server. Instead of complaining and bickering at each other, play the game and have fun as much as possible. The playerbase isn't getting any higher, so at least make the time to play and enjoy the game while we can. Like Wyld stated, you guys have mods available and if it's necessary they will gameover it.
Guest WNxBuBBle Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Wow. WNx Rules! Nice skills SmiLey. And also, as D4rkz said, DO NOT add a time.
Sean Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I was thinking about disabling !poll gameover - and possibly add a time limit (like, 3 or 4 hours) so that maps eventually do end. I don't know if we can consider ourselves marathon (something we're known for) at that point however. :/ Although adding a time limit would please 30% of the overall playerbase, the other 70% would hate it unfortunatly. As the marathon mode is what the vast majority likes. Personally, I'd love there to be a timelimit, but at that point you would indeed no longer be a marathon server. The best thing is to add a timelimit to the !gameover command which has already been stated - 2hours I'd say.
SmiLey Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Get out of here Croatoan, you don't play Marathon lol
Sean Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Get out of here Croatoan, you don't play Marathon lol ikr
BillieJoe67 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 If there is a timelimit added, it better be less than 2 hours, unless you want 2 hours of volcano infantry wars 1
ReLoaDeD Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 Somewhere between 30 mins and 1 hour would be nice.
