BOT: KOTH

[XDOOM]

Starting a new topic here.

 

I dont really like the idea of moving players

 

Instead of using a seperate area as the 'hill'

 

I want to use the center green area ... that little square right there in the middle

 

2 minute warning

!koth to join the koth game (to join it costs 500,000 credits)

koth begins - center area closed off by doors

everybody who did !koth gets warped in there

last player standing wins the total amount of credits available

once you die you are out - and can resume whatever you were doing

koth lasts maxmum 30-60 seconds - if there is more then 1 player left - then nobody wins KOTH and that jackpot will be left for the next game

KOTH runs once every 15 minutes or something

 

any player whom 'accidentally' warps into that area after getting killed or warping or whatever - well - basically will get killed

 

 

KOTH will be renamed to KOTG (king of the greens)

[Gibbit]

heh I like it

 

but...

I never said anything about moving players O.o

 

and I think it should cost more like 2mil to join

The only problem I see is ppl spawning back in that area, or warping back in. And every half hour would be better imo.

[JDS]

the longer you jack up the periodicalness (nice word) , the more the credit cost to enter should be

 

15min = 2mill

30min = 5mill

1hour =10mill

 

 

so yea mabey 30minutes

 

way to take door idea from .?go dew me likey

 

 

also:

should make the people who die that registerd for KOTH warp to a 'box'? so they dont spawn back and take out other people

nah just increase the size of the spawn area and make the inside of the box so you can't spawn there (with the bot maybe?) so people spawn around the outside of the box, and if they're inside and didn't sign up for it when it starts they get ported outside. Edited October 24, 2007 by Gibbit

[XDOOM]

Thats not worth it, if you die from a random sucks to be you, but that random will never be able to win the jackpot.

[Gibbit]

what about moving the spawn points so each freq spawns on either side of the greens?

[XDOOM]

not good if zone ever goes back to private freqs.

[Gibbit]

make private freqs spawn directly below

[JDS]

or priv freqs spawn (square is middle priv freqs are 'x')

x..........x

really bad box, but you get idea

[XDOOM]

I'd like to do that.

 

But that would be annoying.

 

So i'm just going to let them spawn whereever

[Gibbit]

then tm or sos can do it? -_- if it can be done with just ss setts... then I dont see why it shouldn't be done

[XDOOM]

I don't think it can with just SS sets

 

Teams 1 and 2 could - but I also don't like the idea up having teams spawn in a certain area because then you can just sit there and WAIT for them to spawn and kill them.

 

Lots of vultures out there.

[Gibbit]

you can already sit and wait for them to spawn anyways.....

Problems with having it in center:

-Ball, flags, spawn area.

 

Logical solution:

- Have private frequencies for each player participating

- Lock spec & team frequencies

- Have bot randomly spawn each person somewhere inside that box, but not close to each other.

- If you already have to warp those players to center, it's more logical to have the "hill" elsewhere, like that you avoid other people from spawning on you, and balls/flags

- Or force every player to take part in it

 

Another question, is this jackpot the same thing as regular jackpot? If so, then you're taking away other players' purpose of not playing KOTH and actually playing flagging games ; just to steal their credits thereafter. So it might be best to force all players to join.

 

Another option, p!@#$%^&* a vote for how many players (if there's more than say, 2 players in-game and not in spec) want to have KOTH, and if more than 50%, start KOTH game with everyone in it.

 

If you run it every 15 minutes, you ruin normal dogfighting in center, so it might be best to have it every minimum 30 minutes.

[Gibbit]

same as normal jp? it'll just be for creds, and only the last one standing gets them.. I think

[JDS]

30min and full participation would be awsome.. its not like there are more than 2 people at any given time every 30minutes

[XDOOM]

30min and full participation would be awsome.. its not like there are more than 2 people at any given time every 30minutes

 

Then the flags would be a freebie - I guess its a good way to get a team that may be doing very well out of the base and gives you a chance once you die to get the flags back

[Gibbit]

I still think it should be only who ever wants to participate, not full participation... cause someone who doesn't like it will get pissed one day >.>

[JDS]

perhaps majority vote = everyone does it

 

 

bot> time for kotg... who wants to play

 

jds> !me

gibbit > !me

xdoom> lol i dont wana play

no_remorse> !me

 

bot> 3/4 votes for kotg! majority wins *warp*

[No_Remorse]

KOTR is fine. Just don't mess with the flag game. I am against full participation if it interrupts the flag game. Let's say it were full participation, would afk players in safe zones be put in there too? I like how eg does it tbh, but that's just me.

[Hakaku]

That's the flaw though, if you want it in center, you have no choice but to have full participation. If you place it elsewhere, then you make your life easier.

 

Or you could have unbotted KOTH, just like regular SubSpace KOTH :S

[XDOOM]

We could make KOTH only available with jackpots under 10 million points. Once it goes higher theres no KOTH.

[Gibbit]

how bout either people can nag a mod until they say

 

!kotg on

 

or

 

the bot automatically polls everyone if they wanna play AFTER every flag game is won.

Edited November 11, 2007 by Gibbit

[JDS]

nah, not after flag game, since they usualy never end..

 

@xdoom

10mill is too low? no?

 

should make it 15mill at least to stop the useless basing for low jackpots
