Arena

[darkDetective]

It is essentially like going afk to get a sandwich while you are in the middle of a match in TF2 or something. One turn isn't going to make or break the game, and everyone gets to keep playing. As long as we make sure to send a friendly reminder to the AFKers, then I don't see how this ruins anything.

Also, if the team you bet your money on has someone that goes AFK all the time, sucks for you, you placed a bad bet. Thats gambling.

And people can still technically win if someone never moves, it just isn't as easy. If Leroy wants to he can just put a reward multiplier on any team that has someone drop early on. If he wants. If not... meh.

[Leroy]

G1nf1zz is the only one now.

I was thinking a 5 day timer. Which, for this turn, will be tomorrow.

[OnBackorder]

I think we need to implement a move timer so matches can continue regardless if someone disappears from the face of the earth. I feel like if we don't matches are going to take forever, especially with 16 people.

It would also ruin the bets, and the other team member's moods. Maybe we should only kick people out if its 1 on 1 or free for all

Agreed.

Kicking an inactive player essentially kills a fourth of a team. For team battles, substitutions perhaps? Of course, the sub should be a volunteer and not just the next name off the list to keep from a lame duck teammate loop.

But should the substitute be of the same class as his inactive counterpart? It would be an easier transition, and bets are likely based on team makeup. It's just that, if there HAS to be a snap decision to drop someone, their needs to be a quick replacement so that rounds can continue for everyone.

[darkDetective]

5 days sounds a bit long, a single match could take up to 3 months that way. 3 days seems good for it since even in the worst conditions it shouldn't take more than that to get on the computer for 5 minutes to submit your move. It also gives time for the teams to plan their attack without going over board.

I would definitely say the volunteer needs to be the same class. Even if they don't get to keep the experience because they want to change classes after, they still get the money AND get to play.

Also it might be a special case, like on last Wednesday night I lost all power and didn't get any power until Monday, and no internet until yesterday.

Happened to me all the time when I lived in a crappy district. Luckily, the Library has a stable (albeit porn free) internet connection.

I think that is a very special case, and we shouldn't account for that happening regularly to anyone. Also, you can't tell me that you had no access to anyones internet in that time.

[curiousCat]

Everything on my team.

[AnInvisibleUser]

If on a team-based fight, why not just have another team-member control them? It'd be the equivilent of them playing, for the team. If they come back, and their team kept them alive, they could post in this thread to take back control of the character.

This is a great idea, having the team-members control an inactive member.

[AnInvisibleUser]

So... Are we going to continue using my above idea? Or does anyone else have a better thought?

[darkDetective]

I am alright with that, as long as we get the match started soon.

[Leroy]

Most of the combatants begin closing in, with InsanityIncarnate heading for the Yellow Team.

ATH moved for G1nf1zz.

[darkDetective]

Oh thank god, I thought this thread was dead!

[OnBackorder]

Something tells me my team should communicate.

[elitepastafa]

Something tells me my team should communicate.

Lol, yeah. That oughta be a beautiful mess getting that sorted out.

[curiousCat]

We can be on the same space?

[AnInvisibleUser]

Me: Whew, Midterms are... Middy. Time to check the forums! Wow, so many upda- IS THAT ARENA?
FUCK YEAH.

[Agent10361]

Can I be changed to theif? And 50 on blue

[darkDetective]

For the record, this is now day 5 so we should be getting an update tonight regardless of whether or not people are paying attention. :/

[AnInvisibleUser]

You lied, darkDetective. I trusted you, and this is how you repay me.

Also, Leroy, could we possibly get a list of people who haven't sent their move in?

[insanityIncarnate]

Terribly sorry, life was busy being a TOTAL ASSHOLE.
I'm alive again now though.

[wiseguy21]

Looks cool to me.
Queue up as a Ranger!
Wooo

[darkDetective]

Should we just consider this dead? There should have been some sort of update by now if it wasn't.

[insanityIncarnate]

...Up&left? :/
