lawl... As for the warm up timer; People can do what ever they want; run out and shoot the other team; but after a minute the maps get restarted and its go go time...
Maybe you need to refresh your temporary internet files. The old picture is no longer on the server :-) just the new one w/ stars on the bottom
cwevan: listing specific exploits doesn't make sense. (I could list a few more important than absorb regen)
I agree at this point it doesn't make sense. I was in the middle of adding a whole list, but stopped. 1.8 will fix many of them. However, once 1.8 is out, we should explicitly list every exploit we can think of. If it isn't written out in the rules word for word, somebody could claim they didn't think it was an exploit. That is why the rules are there... as reference for gameplay.
I think 10v10 would be best, but how about we set the *minimum* number for a match at 8v8? If both teams have 10, they can field 10... as long as it is even. Or would it be better to have a very specific number so teams would build strategies around it?
There shouldn't be a problem with the referee just restarting the map. That way they can do whatever they want during warmup.... like take screenshots to make sure everyone has normal player models and not giant yellow Barney's :D
Yes :-) That's the point. A screenshot would let the referee know that everyone has the normal player models and not ones that would make the enemy extremely visible (like giant yellow Barneys).
That would require demos, and to maybe have all players meet somewhere on map during that demo. A screenshot could be falsified.
10v10. Any smaller than that and the game gets incredibly slow. All clan matches in Empires have been fought 10v10, to my knowledge anyway, which pretty much sets the example for all of the future clan matches. On another note, I really don't think forums are needed. At most, clan leaders should be the only ones discussing things on the said forum. If the need be, I can create a forum on the BSID-forums for it and give special permission to clan leaders so they can post there. I think every clan leader is registered there anyways.
Thanks Thor... wanna set that up? We can link to it from the site. I agree about the clan leaders only thing. 10v10 it is What about a league server for matches? I'll volunteer the CW server for matches if nobody else steps up, but a more central server (UK) would probably be better.
