hopping has become game within a game.

 

You will log on and see 30 people in spec, large jp, and no flag game going on.

It is because people dont want to ?flag unless they are on the winning freq. So they sit in spec waiting.

When game starts, whatever freq has the flags gets the players.

So teams size progress slowly

3vs5

4vs6

5vs7

...

 

The winning team always has 2 more players than the loosing team.

This is because people in spec are typing ?flag in hopes to get on winning team, if not they hit f11 and wait for some poor fool to type ?flag so they can then hop on winning team. The poor fool seeing his error then specs.

This also leads to very uneven teams, its only the experienced/laming players who know to do this practice, the inexperienced players just type ?flag and are happy where they land (after landing on loosing freq the corrosponding spot on winning team is instantly filled).

So end up with 7 experienced players vs 5 not so experienced players.

 

Something needs to be done about this. I have a post about an automatic evener I would like to see implemented. I know that is a lot of work.

 

Another thing I think would help is a 1 minute cooldown on typing ?flag. it would at least give the hoppers some grief. The cooldown needs to be long, hoppers are willing to wait.

.

Also mods should watch for hoppers and warn them, its easy to spot them, they are on the loosing flagging freqs for all of 2 seconds at a time.

i offered to make a working team evener about half a year ago, and spidernl didnt want one because it required more than zero effort

 

 

i also made a duel arena and handed it to them, and they were too stupid to even upload it properly

Cheese!> i could make an evener in thirty minutes*

Spidernl> go ahead*

 

When did I say it wasn't welcome?

Oh, I forgot, you're a compulsive liar.

 

*) not exact wording, but very much true to what was said.
