Instead of simpling flipping a switch and fixing the problem, the admins have decided to "treat us like adults", by issuing vague threats of bans for an offense that hasn't even been, nor truly can be, clearly defined, and let the problems continue to roll on and wreck what's an otherwise very workable idea.
Most of us have been admins of this arena for years and we've seen it all - this is nothing new to us unfortunately.
The original thread was about side balancing - getting back on topic - for SIDE BALANCING to work, we would need to look at the ENY rates and then set them up for the aircraft we add so that if it's turned on, then the new aircraft added would not be available if the arena #'s were unbalanced. It was developed where you have exact aircraft on either side - which we don't have here. We have different aircraft for opposite sides.
We would have to figure out how SB works, what is the ENY trigger rate, figure out for each round what that rate would be, then change it weekly as new aircraft are added. It's a lot of work for not much benefit. If the ADMINS could set the ENY rate, then yeah, no brainer - we would do it every time we add aircraft. But it requires a call to skuzzy, and then have him modify the table (which is a LOT OF WORK). It also requires an arena reboot which means that captures and strategic targets are reset.
So, until the ENY rate can be set by the admins WITHOUT an arena reset, SB will not be enabled at this time. Perhaps for next time, we can look at it when we have more time to work out the ENY rates.
