Capture the Flag

[DJEYEK]

Is there a technical way to add this to the Server? Instead of voting for next Map when its stucked we could add this Option as it was used on st0rm..

That would be nice,lets do it!

[Volcom]

We can host a server where it switches through game mods. Example: It randomly does aow, snipe, infantry only, CTF, and demolition. I could see doing it on a secondary server, but not on our marathon. That our main player-base and we can't switch things up in there. Too risky.

[DJEYEK]

I understand the risk of switching main things. My idea would have been to add it,not completly change the gameplay,if some of you remember it,im thinking of the way st0rm ran it back the days....?!

[Skeeze]

There is already a ctf server, not a rencorner server though.

[Wyld1]

We had planned to put up a sniper server which is up now. That is as much as we are going to change.

We do NOT want to be anything like St0rm.

Thanks for understanding.

[Joetorp]

Actually, I like the idea, it is a way to end stalemated games. All of St0rms ideas weren't bad, in fact this was good.

This, completely.

!poll gameover works wonders Joe.

[Joetorp]

If I remember correctly, Wyld, we had a discussion about !pollgameover, don't know the outcome...It doesn't really change gameplay like being able to buy tanks and weapons does.

If you guys don't want to be like st0rm, hell, St0rm doesn't have Ren anymore! Plain CTF is boring, the AOW-CTF was a good fit.

I think alternative ways to end games are great.

I remember suggesting something like, after an hour of gametime on a specific map, people could !vote suddendeath or something, which would make whatever buildings are alive become non-repairable. From that point on, it's up to however the teams are positioned and whatnot, and could make for some surprise endings imo.

[DJEYEK]

Many Players leave after a gameover vote these days, basically cuz they feel they wasted their time, i dunno why ppl think it changes so much on rencorner. Its an alternative option and wont change anything with the game itself. In fact ppl feel they ended a map the regular way and therefore its less ppl that rq and less ppl that leave due to stucked games.... Changes arent always a bad decision, give it a tryout for 3-4 weeks and see how its going?!

[JQuo]

Adding CTF to the gameplay is a major add. It takes the special gameplay of Renegade away: destroying the enemy base. A tryout for 3/4 weeks can give a disastrous outcome.

I personally don't like it.

Yeah I remember us talking about this and everyone seemed to agree but who can code to change to no-rep buildings after X amount of time? Can it be done based on a vote result? Sir Mr. BigWrench........huh?

I agree. It usually ends up being two games within one from the start. I know several that would just spend the entire game in a apc going back and forth. Very frustating when the rest of the team is planning a rush. Also with our average players count being 20 to 25, I can see frustated players because 3 or 4 on one team are CTF'ing and all the players on the other team are fully engaged in attacking the base. It ends up like an uneven game.

[StJohn Gumby]

Hmm,

I'm not a big fan of Marathon games anyways, I much prefer 30 min AOW.

Hence my involvement in commwars here.

So, why not set a, say, 60 min time limit or something?

Put up a vote!

Do it before Wyld "The Closer" locks this topic.

Joe, little do you know that the admins talk before we close any thread. It is never a "single" decision unless it is Ani. The two of the three recently closed were all discussed ahead of time to close when the thread reached a conclusion. The 3rd one was closed as it was a duplicate made even when Shai had said not too. It's like the mod promotions, I didn't do those on my own, we discussed it. I just happened to be the admin that posted it. We all share duties equally.

On point with this thread, you all can discuss something that will never happen all you want. RC will not have a CTF mod to help end games. Its a marathon server, learn to team play to win.

So far Joe in 3 or 4 of your recent posts your perception on the topic has been 100% wrong. If you are not sure which ones, PM me if you want to discuss further.

Hope this helps your "closed thread" syndrome. In the future as I said in the other thread, you have any questions you can always PM me.

[shaitan]

For the stalemated games that usually end up in a !poll gameover, that's not a bad idea(they do not happen a lot mind you). There's also that ssgm feature(much like Campa made) for sudden death. That'd be nice if it were configurable to where your shit goes offline with the last building on one team(right now it's just ref I think).

It could in theory even swap game modes while the game's running. Even funnier would be if it kicked it into that Asteroids game inside Renegade. lmao that'd be fucking funny...for testing purposes of course. XD

[WNxM45T3R]

How about "Capture the FAG"?

Basically someone preferably sean gets a stealth suit and we all go find and beat the shit outta them?

JK but I am a fan of long games. I can look back now and remember epic 7 hour field map years ago.

It never seems to happen these days, theres nothing more satisfying than uber teamwork when your on the back foot and then winning,

Just my opinion, it is a marathon after all.

IS THIS POSSIBLE?!!!!

I'll be constantly moaning in ts until you find me :D

it'd need to be a big map like glacier_flying though. ^^

[DJEYEK]

So in the end, what i read out of this thread is that *you can all discuss what u want,but nothing will change*. Ok then.

[Wyld1]

I think we are waiting to hear from Blacky if he can add what Ani had come up with or what Shai mentioned earlier. It's not CTF but it s something.

[ChriS]

that sudden death sounds fun i would add that

Frankly, Wyld, I don't know why a thread should be closed at all! Unless of course we have posts like mademan made asking for money, or something that is abusive. But a discussion is just that, a discussion. The fact the you admins have access to the controls doesn't mean you should use it to stifle a dialog. Who knows? There probably was more to say...

Never mind the community's discussion, do as you will. You all know better. A poll would be a better choice.

Wyld, it's ok if you tell me what points I got wrong in public, I wouldn't mind.

Sorry to be so obstinate, I hope to be more co-operative in the future. Oh yeah Wyld, I apologize for creating drama in my RC Metemorphous post. Ii was created for another reason other than something so trivial, as drama.

I may not be on tonight or tomorrow.

I talked to Blacky and he said he could do something. I also asked him how long it would take...I got a giggle. Not saying we doing it, not saying we aren't. We want to talk more about it, talk to the players in the server, and Shai had an idea we may try. Stay tuned.
