dunno if there's a place for this already, but here's some suggestions I have to help ensure fair play and fair competition at the next vice war:
• make the following a rule:
"no whining, no complaining, and no admin actions without a fraps video and report to match"
of course there would have to be some leeway or more specification with the admin part, but I think you all can see where I'm going with that.
Well i think people should be allowed to say whatever they want, whining or not. Last vice war we(blues) took red's complains and moans too so i don't see why the red team is so bothered about blue complaining, they complained last time too. Frapping for evidence might be a good a idea though, but keep in mind this would cut the fast paced combat and action...."recording, uploading, leaving the game, posting on the forums, waiting for reply" i doubt people will go trough all that trouble while they could be playing.
• add a command to give a sum and average of a team's pings to instantly settle pointless accusations about pings then and there and to help limit the complaining. hell, you can even automate and give +1 point to base captures for every 100ms a team under-pings their rivals.
Wouldn't be that accurate since alot of players have ping spikes, also those "lag accusations" don't always rely on ping, but gfx lagg too. And it wouldn't be fair to both teams to give points like that because there's alot of low ping players that still lagg alot.
• swap the bases around once or twice at a certain time or under certain conditions... OR maybe change the bases entirely instead of swapping to prevent tactical copycatting and "they got the good base first" complaints.
This might be a good idea, but i have no complains about the bases though, they were even with one another this time.
• not exactly sure yet, but do something like:
give 20 points instead of 10 to a team capturing the enemy base icon if they are outnumbered, or instead of that maybe give 20 if they are down by a certain amount of points. also check into other minute scoring changes to give incentive and give a little help to the team that is outnumbered. I know this shit isn't exactly fair play and fair competition but it would probably be the best solution to the slowdowns and even worse stalemates I witnessed
This might help the team who is outnumbered, but it would have to be done carefully so it doesn't help too much, still there's nothing better then having the same amount of players in both teams tough.
