Title: Please take away the EW time limit
Post by: Clone155 on August 29, 2009, 02:13:25 PM
Today, it was 8 rooks, 2 bish, and 4 nits. I wanted to switch to nits, and I accidentally switched to rooks. And now I have to wait an hour... Please take away the time limit so players can balance the arena out easier. This isn't a complicated wish, and should be very simple to do, please do it.

There is two sides to this wish.

Yep, and the side that won is the side where you can't trust people.  It's human nature to find any loophole in any system and exploit it.  Having to wait before switching sides is one way to limit such exploitation.  Nothing needs to be fixed other than your quick mouse clicks.   ;)

What sides? Did something happen in EW? I just think that since an average of 6 players are in there at a time, this shouldn't be a big deal.

BTW I was using the dot command, and was quite confident that nits were country 2, I was wrong.

and one very common side is:

One Bish squad, 6+ players, attacking Rooks without opposition. I up at that rook field, kill a few of them. They now attack Knight, also with no opposition.
I can now
- Just sit around and watch Knight fields fall one by one
- Or switch to Knights, which will invariably will lead to those Bish attacking Rooks again, fully aware I'm trapped in Knightland now.

This is no rare case, it happened almost all the time when I was still flying EW on a regular base. Actually it was the final reason to withdraw from EW.

Nits are country 2.

Bish=1
Nits=2
Rooks=3
