Official Poll: Pre-made or Random?

BigFree · December 29, 2003, 23:39

Please vote accordingly:

1) NO modification of any type. (Admins see the map, note the map for posterity/safekeeping, we begin play.)

2) Extremely minimal modification. (Admins see the map, note the map posterity/safekeeping/eventual *****ing about what was changed, alter any starting positions in which they feel the LAND is excessively bad, we begin play.)

3) Moderate modification. (Admins see the map, note the map posterity/safekeeping/eventual *****ing about what was changed, alter any starting positions in which they feel the LAND is excessively bad, move any resources which favor/disfavor any team to an unfair degree in the judgement of the admins, who we have all confirmed we respect and trust in their judgement, or they wouldn't be there and then we begin play.)

4) Serious/total modification. (Admins see the map and massively revamp it, OR admins create a map from scratch.)

I think 3 is good because it allows for a fairer start for all teams. The only reason this would be a problem is if people did not trust the admins to be impartial. But, then, we would be able to see that in the end if the map was not set up fairly.

Moderate. Without such modification for MZO's C3C game, one of the teams would've been crippled at the start.

Rhothaerill · December 30, 2003, 02:36

Agreed with OctavianX

Yep ditto.

Also, I know it's part of the game now, but I think they should take out all the volcanoes, i think it's unnessesary in this type of play, and could also result in a disadvantage to a team.

As the map creator of the 3rd Demo Game, I just want to point out that it's a lot of fun to create a map from scratch!

We already did this poll although BF's description is better. Its here: Map Modifications Poll.

In order to avoid confusion please rename this the "official poll", and lets go from here.

Moderate. ie 3

GodKing · December 31, 2003, 12:39

4, as it is more fun that way.

Paddy · January 1, 2004, 02:31

Number 3 looks good to me

sprudl · January 1, 2004, 07:17

In this type of game it's important to give everyone a fair chance, so I vote for 3.

conmcb25 · January 1, 2004, 09:40

I voted 3.

The map starting positions at least need to be balanced out and the starts in C3C are notorious for not having an even distribution of resources. That needs to be tweaked,

I need to vote on this at the UN by monday the 5th before about 2200 GMT.

Its pretty clear right now which way this poll is going but if you want to vote you better hury up and od it!
