Author Topic: Upcoming changes to the Combat Theatre (Read 1314 times)

Hey everyone,

Thought I'd let you all know that changes are coming to the Combat Theatre.

a) Top Ace Contest
We are mulling over a TOP ACE contest for the Combat Theatre. Still need to work out deails and talk to the owners but it's coming. It'll probably be based on kills with a weight based on your kill/death ratio. I.e. 100 kills, K/D is 2.0, score is 200. 100 kills, K/D is 4.5 score is 450.

b) Guidelines and Regulations for CT Staff positions
No longer will the CT staff self appoint positions to run the CT. We are working on the details, perhaps even elections for all spots. Guidelines and regulations for staff are going to be put into place on how we, as CT admins, govern the arena. This includes mandatory flying hours requirments (you gotta fly in the Ct to be an admin), and regulations on how elections are handled, and how to manage the community. More to follow.

So that's all I'm going to say for now. I'm hoping that combined with these upcoming changes and events the CT will be a community driven arena.

But Top Ace thing, might make some more people not fight...

b. sounds like a good move.

Not so sure about a. ... hopefully it would only appeal to the score potatos and have no impact pro or con on me.

Or it could make more fight. Or it could have no effect at all. I'd say a decent furballer would have best shot if there's decent furballs.

whats the prize? or is there not one?

DJ111 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 27, 2004, 12:49:27 PM »

If someone is so worried about k/d they might not jump into a furball like they did before. But it might not affect anything so...

Shut up you commie!

Who is going to figure this out?
Why do you want to do this? I thought that you wanted to do away with scores/ranks.
What are the advantages of this rank system over the HTC score/rank system?

If you do decide to run the contest, run a poll of CT regulars and ask them to vote on it. If they decide that they want it, then you have a buy in. Without a vote it will be pooh-poohed even worse than the current HTC score/rank system.

I would guess that there would be a major shortage of folks who would even want the job. Many folks may have trouble making any kind of a commitment. I for example would be interested but am already spread too thin to take on any commitment with a time table of required duty times. Sometimes I can’t even spare the time to fly for a week or more. Other weeks/month I have time that I could spare. My guess is that many folks are in the same boat. Take a poll to see how many folks would even be interested in the first place.
