Title: Arena reset suggestion.
Post by: Lephturn on February 18, 2000, 11:08:00 AM

This came up in another thread, but I thought this was the appropriate forum to make the suggestion.  Regarding a reset, it would be great if the country with the most fields was declared the winner, and the reset process went something like this:

System: Field 1 captured by the Rooks
System: The Rooks have one the War
System: The arena will be reset in 60 seconds.
System: The arena will be reset in 30 seconds.
Syetem: Arena reset!  Check your map!

Something like that should be workeable I would think. It should give anybody enough time to get out of ack range or exit a plane before the reset happens without adding any extra complexity or loopholes.

Sounds good.  Might want to think about how a sixty second warning could be used to "game the game".  Not sure how it would be, but worth considering.

I did think about that Popeye, and I think this is the best solution.  The only possible way to "game" the game would be if the decision about who won wasn't made until the reset occured.  In that case, somebody could take a base in the last minute before the reset and get the "win", if it was down to a tie up to that point.  But all that needs to happen is that, as I suggested, the decision about who won happens instantly, and the arena reset is inevitable, just delayed by one minute with warning given to all.  If somebody can poke a hole in this system, please do!  Right now though, I can't see any problems with it.
