Can we please change the endtime of domination rounds?

Right now the no scoops until the last minute the enable shields and burn modests is basically the only way to effectively compete. Considering you could likely script the whole process of spending modests you could likely wait until the last minute or two every round and as long as you had more modests than anyone else you could get mins every week.
I understand people want domination to be utterly predictable but currently it makes domination rather boring. A predictable endgame really limits it’s appeal to a large percentage of the userbase. Considering the idea should be growing the community rather than shrinking it I think a variety of ideas that increase the randomness and thus the fun aspect of the game would be smart to incorporate. |

its hard to script it because each card has its own number.
the entire thing could also be fixed by somehow limiting attack cards. thats the only reason it becomes a modest improvement run, anyway.
again it’d come down to last minute pistachio and lemon runs, instead then. just as predictable. Pickled Dickbutt edited this message on 05/30/2008 8:51PM |

obviously it’s all about the cards. that’s the problem, the whole round comes down to the last two minutes. What’s wrong with the idea of having a limited hand? As far as I can see that that takes care of the worst of the problem, still allows for some last minute ninja’ing. I honestly don’t see any downside, besides that it would completely mess up the way domination is currently played.
But that’s okay because the way it is currently played is basically broken. |

It’s a good idea but I think shields shouldn’t count towards the 5… maybe peeping tom either.

i disagree that its broken, but a limit of cards to some respectable number would still be workable. |

the way it is now you basically have to be around at one very specific time of the week to have any real chance of winning. If that isn’t broken, I don’t know what is. |

Actually I think this is a very good point. Either that or make them appear much much less often then they do. If there were no bumhole cards it would be more worthwhile for players to build up a large number of scoops rather then turn everything into cards until the very end. |

I’m for reducing bumhole frequency. A good compromise solution. |

Objection: bumhole cards are the great equalizer. The everyman's desperate answer to organized klan raids. |

well isn’t the great equalization what causes the “brokeness” of top bracket domination, and what forces people to ninja?
do we really need an equalizer so those that won’t put in greater effort are on common ground with those who will? Pickled Dickbutt edited this message on 05/31/2008 12:27AM |

except the equalizer doesn’t work. during klan raids people just put all their scoops into cards, and nobody gets the opportunity to use the bumholes. |

Pickled male reproductive organbum Posted: Answer: Yes. Explanation: Not a case of "greater effort," but of "more time on hands." Raiding is not a skill function. Suggestion: Time between cards or limiting cards held would better fix late night card rushes. |

bumhole cards are a nice way for unklanned players to influence the course of domination. They might not be able to compete with klan vanilla raids but they can influence the course of events.
I think one idea for leveling the playing field would be to create a card that allows you to attack cards in another player’s hand. It would be random as to which one you destroy but it would allow people to attack other players hoarding shield and modests. |

what do you even mean? shields already get “shattered” one at a time from any attack. |

I think that what he’s trying to say is that currently it’s far to easy to hide behind a shell of shields that only become active in the last 15-20 minutes of play. In that case even a concerted effort by other serious players is unlikely to break the shell. |

indeed, its the only way to do it with the amount of bumholes that fly around these days.
i generally get with with 15-17 in the last few minutes of gameplay, making such a thing a necessity, to win.
however thats working as intended. they were only recently added because a rain of bumholes could make working towards winning a waste of time. Pickled Dickbutt edited this message on 05/31/2008 12:43AM |
