Title: A modest proposal to spice up resets
Post by: Albacore on June 04, 2003, 08:21:41 AM

Instead of just hitting us with the 'host connection lost' message every time the timer runs out after a reset(or scheduled weekly map change), might I suggest that HTC detonates a series of giant thermonuclear devices, thus wiping out the terrain as well as airspace. It would be entertaining, and would probably not offend detractors of the often debated AH a-bomb because it would never have any true bearing on the game play.

Explosions could, conceivably, be centered at all three HQs, each with a blast radius of more than half the width of the map(well in access of any thermonuclear warheads ever deployed). The resulting effect would provide each player with a nice flash, perhaps some atmospheric shockwave effects(clouds shifting, ground effect), followed by a quick obliteration.

What do you guys think?

I think HTC should set up a deal with brothels where the team that wins the reset gets free sex.

maybe peace activists could sway public opinion about the war and cut funding for ammo and fuel and planes.

Thats a whole new can of worms Hawk... hell... just last night I was in the final leg of my buff run over A23 when I got a radio transmission from HQ - apprently a few Bish decided that our treatment of the Rooks was Imperialistic and had set up shop as virtual shields in one of the hangers.

Instead of explosions, maybe have everone's ghost rise from the ground, salute then ascend to the clouds and scream  "F%% ME!

Or maybe, upon the end of a war, everyone previously lacking a sense of humor could suddenly develope one.

wow, you're a real pisser. You don't think having all the AH ghosts from that camp rise and scream "F-me" would be funny?

My apologies, Nuke. Yes, I'm a pisser but your idea was plenty funny. Personally, I'm for anything to dress up the reset process.
