So your in favor of _________ during KOTH, why?

[fuzeman]

So here's the place to talk about things you might want different in KOTH. So I've heard, no icons. I hear raise the alt cap.
My stance has always been let the players who attend KOTH figure out what they want.

I want old range channel for in tower communications but have given up on that ever happening, after all... it's only KOTH   

Icons - I think that would be a disadvantage to new KOTH players.  I think KOTH is geared generally speaking for the main arena, melee arena type of crowd. Fuel burn is the same as is icon distance. We don't have dar bar, unless I've did my thing with the settings {Oops}. as that's more of a distraction and not needed. The distance part is also needed to judge adequate separation. As you get close to a dot you can identify or at least get a good clue as to who it is anyway with the names listed in text display and range channel.

Altitude cap- We have to have some limit on the 'cage' and it was higher way back then. Think it was to contain the fight as loitering seemed to be more prevalent with a higher cap.

Go ahead voice your opinions. You have a better chance and bigger influence on any of these happening by becoming a KOTH CM and joining the CM Team. Go Team

Of everything, that's the thing that bugs me the most.  I miss being able to chat in tower/offer advice/etc while things are still going on.  But, you've said your piece, HT's aware so I guess there's not much more to it than that.  It's an annoyance in FSO as well.  The old way in tower was much better for certain things.

Everything in KOTH should be left alone, except we really need the old tower/Local range to be how it used to be..... it really has hampered this event since the change

I agree with fuzeman and wiley on that point regarding range channel

I was interested in the altitude debate and went all the way back to original posts on KOTH and guess what, it was going on back then   
Take a look.

better edit that last part out, it didn't have anything to do with KOTH or RUSH

[Wiley]

Heh, I wasn't suggesting a change when we talked about it, Fuze.  I was just commenting if the fight starts high it messes with my normal schtick.  I think it needs to be there for KOTH to function as well as it does.

[Eagler]

Nothing needs to change just need to keep the numbers up

My idea....

Offer free beer and naked women to the participants

i second Eagler's motion! 

[fuzeman]

Wiley, I was just bringing things up that were mentioned so they could be discussed here if people wanted to opposed to during the event.

Sorry Eagler, those were labeled ‘use at host’s discression’ so I did
The women ran away 
as soon as they saw me and after that 
I had to drink all the beer.

[ACE]

No change!

[fuzeman]

Personally I didn't want to change anything but I did hear a few things mentioned and saw a few posts regarding changes to KOTH and as the host felt obligated to put them up for KOTHers to discuss, after all... it IS your event.
Well I would change a few things;
1} range channel { but you know that already  }
2} increase interest and attendance
3} prevent conflicts with other events at the same time   

and I'm sure there's 'a ghost of a chance' to change any of the above.

[Eagler]

What about prizes?

Can HT offer a month free to the monthly winner like the annual champ got 3 free months?

<S>

Eagler

[fuzeman]

While that was never asked of Mr. Addink or HiTech Creations for the TOC prize, he did offer a month of AH for each monthly winner.   
That proposal was discussed internally and declined as we thought it would water down the TOC prize and winning that somewhat.     
Didn't take you long to forget about the nekid women and beer did it?   
I wonder what kind of crowd that would bring in and I'm sure the atmosphere would get a little hotter than normal.
We start and are all         , and then someone       and results in someone         and I have to  and someone will    and most likely  leaving the rest of us  and  .

I think the free month should be revisited if you want a quick way to get a few more ppl in the monthly KOTH tournaments.

[fuzeman]

This I might discuss during the event as my reply would be to people who attend the it.

The ONLY reason I started the thread was a few people commented about why the don't attend or things they wanted to change.
People who fly in KOTH determine the rules and changes to them.
I really did not see anyone who mentioned the change they wanted come in here and give support to their cause so we wont change anything.
Well we did change the time and that was discussed.
