Surrender command

We need a way to end games quickly when one team gives up. I suggest we have a surrender command that would automatically make the team lose and go on to the next map.

For example, we can have "!gg" as the command. If 75% of a team types that, it loses.

Btw this has already been done as a mod on other games (NS iirc) and is not an original idea.

 

Never.

 

Never surrender.
Never give in.
Fight to the last grenadier.
Make those fuckers pay in res and blood for every inch they take.
Make your enemy earn the victory.

 

No surrender.

 

rtv

Why add something that already is there?

 

I think it should be the other way around. If 75% of the opposing team think you should surrender, you must!

 

I don't see it. I also would never vote to surrender and rob the winning team of victory anyway.

The winning team deserve to slay you with HE arty whilst whipping jeeps in a circle around your comm and text/mic spamming, they earned it with their outstanding teamwork/stacking.

Depending on a number of variables there is always a way to win whatever the circumstances.

 

it's this crazy little thing called rtv.

 

I still kill the odd heavy tank at the end of a round when I'm on foot, just because they've won the match doesn't mean you can't kick them in the nuts when they get cocky.

I hope you gentlemen realize how long it takes for the CV to be destroyed in a 2v2 or 4v4 game. Although such small server populations can be rare during the day/evening in the US/EU timezones, these are the norm during the day in the Aus/Asia timezones.

Then there are the teams that gloat by unnecessarily waiting for heavies and arty and the teams with very obvious stacks, both of which make games painful to watch.

Furthermore, I believe it is the absence of a mechanism with which to end a game quickly that has led to ragequitting, specs and CV drowning.

RTV is just not as good because it requires the votes of half the server population, regardless of the number of AFK players. What I'm suggesting only takes 75% of the players in a team to vote, ie the winning team, specs and unassigned are out of the picture.


tldr this is the Empires version of euthanasia.

 

The game was never ever meant to play well with under 16 people on a server.

 

CW command

 

You know what would happen when you would implement that command? Every time one site would be loosing they would immidiatly surrender, same if they got the feeling the teams are a bit stacked or worse just because they don't want the map, especially when low on players, lets say 5 vs 4, there only need to be 3 ppl who don't like the map and all 9 will get forced onto a new map, repeat this a few times and the server is dead, also a nice grief. It will ruin any fun for the winning team. etcetcetc
NO surrender EVER. RTV if you don't want the map, if you have the feeling the cv isn't dying fast enought tell the enemy to try harder, or suggest a fix for that, like CV hull and armor health depens on player numbers or smth.

 

just think of surrendering as going spec and doing something else on your computer while the current match finishes.

 

There's really nothing more to say.

 

Recycle barracks and kill everyone alive, problem solved.

 

= griefing = ban.

 

If everyone agrees to it, mr banny happy admin, I don't think it's griefing. Should an admin be on the server, this wouldn't even be a problem as he could change map instead.
