Make Duels not suck

[Death]

1. That crap where you can be hidden but logged in, remove it. Complete and utter crap. If you want something like that then add a top ten that someone can view offline with a 30 minute delay. Someone should not be able to run turns, aid, watch people kill clannies or themselves, or anything else without being shown online. It's just stupid, you're handing the game over to whoever can stay online the longest.

2. Once you have to STD someone, they should not be able to recieve aid, that is abuseable as hell. I could just have a couple guys net, sit marked offline waitinf to get low, then have them aid me to the point where I cannot be STDd (which does not take any work at all in Duels).

3. The Turn Bank is pretty useless, you might as well just raise max turns or make it fill slower with a higher cap. In a game like this, making it uber fast will serve nothing other than handing the game to whoever is most active, as mentioned before.

So if you want a nice little playerbase, you're going to need to fix some crap. Because I am not going to stick around to play a game where skill is not involved in any way like Duels. You could even apply those suggestions to BFR and whatever the other games are to get more players.

And before this argument is brought up, I am not complaining because I do not likt your code, sure, I don't like it, but it's pretty obvious that I am not alone. Your head's in the right place, just think things through a little more and it'll work out fine.

1. This is a legitimate enough strategy, however dishonourable. Of course, I am open to changing it (as anything) if the playerbase votes for changing it.

2. Again, a perfectly legitimate strategy. Think to an actual military campaign. Reinforcements can almost always be sent.

3. I am not sure how fast it refills in the current iteration, but IIRC it ought to fill up every 2 days, which is not unreasonable.

By the way, Duels is generally over in 3-5 days...

Apropos, I'd be sincerely eager to know why you don't like our code. Not to debate -- just to have suggestions. Thanks.

[Death]

Because you let people play like fags and say it's a legit strategy. *laughs*

This game requires 0 Prom skill, you just have to know how to abuse this specific code.. and that joke you call ME.

[The Beatles]

ME's hardly a joke... I mean to say, it's a derived codebase, so it may be a joke as an extension of FAF being one.

[Death]

I don't even know, but are GTs pathetically strong here too? If so that needs to be changed too, just getting land and building them is... stupidly easy.

Plus that Hero system, unlimited hits on top 10, etc. all make it a total joke to me, and all the people I showed it to, and all of the people I know who play it, and all the people I know who quit it and went to a better game.

It's fairly obvious that there is a problem, just look at FAFers/ME players pathetic attempts to play at any other game.

[Gen. Volkov]

I dunno, didn't FAF win that clan competition at Valhall?

Also, don't lump us all together, I play in several different proms, and I'm quite good at all of them.

[Death]

Let me guess, ROVL, FAF, and ME? *laughs*

Nah I know some of you do fine in other ones, but you guys went way too far making FAF unique.

And yes, FAF won the competition being led by a Valhall player, in a competition that 80% of Valhall players did not like or play, no Zap players played, few from QMT if any. It was basically FAF vs. FEE, and that is no competition, you guys would kill them hands down every time.

[Gen. Volkov]

I rarely play at ME, I do play at ROVL and FAF, but I've also played at Valhall, QMT, Nutari, a quite a few other ones similar to QMT like ZAP, and one called Hack: Infiltration. I've done well at all of them. The last time I played at QMT, I was in a war most of the set, but when the war was finally over and I could actually net, I took 2nd that set. I was part of Death Eater's clan. Bl()()d or something like that.

I was a member of the RWL team that won the clan competition the year before. I know you have an excuse, but we still won it fair and square, when a lot of people were playing, including people from QMT.

OK, fine, whatever.

[Death]

That's where you know me from then, Bl()()d.

The CC sucked balls though dude, the code was just awful. You all should help out and make suggestions next time so we don't end up on some slow piece of crap.

[Gen. Volkov]

Ah, OK. Hi then. *laughs*.

I just didn't have that much interest in it the second time around. The first time through was mildly interesting. The code was pretty bad though.

[Death]

BoTK will be fun, I promise. Haha.

[Gen. Volkov]

BoTK? Sorry, not understanding acronym.

[Death]

The CC is the once a year Clan Competition. BoTK (Battle of The Kings) is the once a year solo competition that makes me drool.

[Gen. Volkov]

Oh! Right.. I probably won't be there. *laughs*.

[Kutolah]

Bttle of the kings is in september right Death. I'll be sure to join in this time. Also the only players even decent was me, nabata, and nova. But all 3 of us weren't active. I run twice or something like that.
