Scoops awarded for wins in INCIT: Should be implemented a long, long time ago. It’s a double benefit: people are more interested in INCIT (which is dead most of the time) and removes some of the spam part of it, since there’s people willing to report vandalism there. I admit I suck at motivational posters so I’m almost never in INCIT, but it’s a good change for people who are interested and is willing put effort on it.

8 Scoops per Solo Vanilla: I think it’s a bit too much, but not really when you consider the impact of Klan Vanilla. Really makes stuff interesting if everyone on the bracket is doing it. But it’s a little overkill when no one does: my troll alt, bigsillypoopfacebot, raped my bracket using 12 visits because no one else did. We need more advertising on solo vanilla.

bumhole hitting by 6: Bring it back to 10, nuff said.

Hand Limit: Wait, you actually need to think ahead of “stack as much MI/Shields as you can” because of hand limit? 100% approved. Domination was lacking some strategy IMHO, this was a much needed change. Now you need to think what you’re doing with your hand and plan ahead. Welcome change, really.

No Ties: Mixed feelings as well. I agree because it’s a new strategy: force a tie to make the enemy lose medals. I tried to do it on Headsets don’t make you a man last week, it worked (scully didn’t medal Log in to see images! (no hard feelings, it’s just an example)). But I disagree because we have a really low medal pool. Most of the time people don’t really play because they think they can’t win, and/or because they think playing to wreak havoc is not fun/worth the effort. Most Scoops/Shields Destroyed was suggested in the past, and seems to be a nice idea.

Alts out of raids: Having to “Buy Scoops” to compete is not really my idea of a balanced PvP game. Not everyone can buy BPs or win contests to create alts. If you want to see another example of how broken this scheme is, do a little search for Dark Age of Camelot: Multibox (controlling multiple characters/accounts with one computer) became so popular, people had to control at least 3 different characters at the same time to be able to “solo” PvP without being at a disadvantage. Two thumbs up for this change.

When a raid group pwns 12 forums, raid group members have to beat forums not already owned by anyone in their raid group in order to get subsequent scoops: Doesn’t really help promoting raiding. We need major changes to prevent the disparity between Klan players and Solo players, but the 12-12-12 method was attracting more people into raiding. I think there’s better solutions then this.

Well, those are my opinions. Log in to see images! Fran edited this message on 07/31/2008 7:37AM
