*-it would be nice to bring back the logs of kills by gameid, in the KOTH like before.....do away with the insta tower.
*-make players auger in the unflyable plane, no chutes or you sit out 5 straight koth rounds.
*-the logs that use to be kept showed who fought their way toward a "round win" verses who flew passive and skirted or loitered around fights....
*- reviewing the logs would be a good gauge of who is actually playing by the rules that are set forth.......no reason someone who plays and wins a koth round or koth event for the month should be able to fly and win if they only kill 7 players in 8 or 9 or 12 or 15 or 18 total rounds for the event....
*- if an individual pushes the edge of the rules set forth, and are caught during a match, they should be instantly removed and locked out from that event for the remaining time of said event........no leeway or warnings should be granted.....
*- KOTH is not for 3 week beginners who don't know the rules, refuse to follow the rules, insist on agitating the CM of the event.....
*-KOTH fighting is not about making passes at some one from 3k alt advantage and then zooming back up after only getting with in 1k of the opponent and extending 25 seconds then repeating add infinium , then letting 2 others jump the guy , so the high alt passive player can continue to make passive half arsed attacks at the 3 who are actually fighting with agression......
*-KOTH flyers new and old should be there to accept all engagements, and fly for the fight, not for the GLORY of being called "The Winner".....if you 1/2 arsed your way thru the tournament rounds then you are only fooling yourself
their are many good flyers in the KOTHs.......then their are starting to become just as many MA lolly gaggers who need to be watched for how they are skirting.......
*-as has been asked for and said over & over & over. every KOTH participant should be watching in CM eye mode and helping the CM view all the battles going on. If you see something not right, quietly send a PM to the KOTH CM and acknowledge to them to keep an eye on anyone not playing with a true approach of game play of KOTH participating ethics.......
*- and all KOTH participants should petition HTC to provide the KOTH CM's with the tools they need to make it where you can not see anything except a plane ID icon, and no names or names on local range during the fight......the local range should only show the plane type -----nothing more.....
me personally did not fly any KOTHs last month, and after the very 1st flight tonight, I hesitated and seriously thought of why do I even bother flying these things when 1/2 or more of the participants push the envelope of skirting the rules as far as they can with out getting called on it.......
the sense of actual mxing it up and fighting for the win has been replaced with extending for 29.9 seconds, faking flying toward a fight yet taking forever to get there by slowing down forward momentum, or playing with your food by not being agressive until you see only 2 or 3 dots on radar left, then coming on on last 2 or 3 right about time the last guy besides the skirter has just finished off number 3 guy and is lower and slower........
just some things for the KOTH CM's to think about over the next few months before Next Year starts.....
if any of you have noticed alot of GOOD hard fighting players hardly ever show up anymore due to most of the facts hat have been posted in my above rants.....
BigMax, Gremlin, Jish, FX, Dace, Nomak, Redd, Octavious, to name just a few and BluKitty , MsneTMP, some of th widowmakers and other flyers/participants.............and look at what has replaced them........
just some things to think about........
