    It's got to be fuckinn' possible.

    VIPERS

    We played.

    Escort -> Hobbes -> Octagons -> Slaughtered -> RR -> Dusttorm

    This shit needs to end.

    Vicki said that she removed octagons. Minigames is already gone. Hobbes V2 is at least somewhat better. Rainbowroad isn't going anywhere; too many people like it. That's all I'm going to say for now, I'd rather not go over all this again.

    unless someone added a few dozen acres of terrain and made it less visually offensive, I wouldn't say it's better

    Let's spend time coding at something which can be done within the servers!
    Excellent suggestion!

    I think LordDz has the highest ratio of "good ideas" per post length of anyone on the forum.

    Let's NOT spend time fixing something that server owners should realize is killing the game. They're parasites. Y'get that? 80% of the server didn't even understand what Hobbes IS!

    All these maps are acting as are deterrents for newer players to GET the eff away from this game. Why? Because it's a childish, dead mod that fell into the hands of an apparently incapable community of trolls who no longer care for the well-being of the game.

    FUCK that image. Empires has wonderful, fabulous opportunities, and we sink them down further than Hamster's chance of getting any thigh action. Does NOBODY see a problem with this (besides Trickster)!?

    Oh, I'm sorry! Let's implement some of the other suggestions first! Who wants MK2 tanks back?

    No, you tell the server owners to change the maps.
    Then you get yourself and your friends to play on the server, because there will be no point in doing it if people will just not play.

    IF you hardbanned maps, what would stop people from making new maps? Are we're going to tell every mapper to get the fuck away like we tell every new person playing this? Or are you going to release a new version every week?

    It's a problem with the servers, not empires, and I don't think it's possible to ban a map in the code since the mappers can just recompile the maps dun dun dun. What would be totally a good idea is to start a petition or lobby group that tries to get Vicki to take the maps off, or politely asking. If all else fails, leave empires but at least stay content in the idea that the internet is still libertarian.

    I wasn't serious about this suggestion.

    I AM serious about getting these sandboxes play-things out of a military base. [/metaphor]

    Then go and ask Vicki instead of trying to make others do the work for you.

    It's a community effort. Don't treat me like a child.

    Here's a suggestion: Boycott VIPER, play on EPIC or MEG. Convince her that the servers without the maps are better off than the ones with them.

    Or, you can keep bitching and hoping someone else will do something for you. But personally, I prefer a more proactive approach instead of being passive-aggressive.

    P.S. I'm neither condoning nor condemning the maps or VIPER's server with my statements. I'm just tired of the bitching.

    How is it a community effort to ask Vicki to remove the maps? You click on friends, then you double click on her name.

    You act like I haven't already.

    And what do you mean "How is it a community effort?" She might not listen to one person, but 20 people, maybe?

    I agree.

    I don't like duststorm either.

    Last time I played on the epic server you were still running every dumb map under the sun.

    We're talking about gimmick maps here, not serious maps that don't necessarily play fantastically.

    Play on EPIC instead. No shitty rainbow-octagons-empcup rotation. And no autospot.
