Capture The Flag

[MaVeRiXX]

Hello Ladies & Gents,

Since im not playing this round, i seems had the time to came up with maybe an odd idea how to improve this game. So i share with you my thoughts...

First My PA dislikes:

-Not many wars these days
-Fencesitting
-Planetnapping
-A few Galaxies/Alliances owning a round
-Galaxies getting boring--->Gal channels on IRC dead or not active
-All top/active players ganging up in one alliance or in a few alliances.
-Boring rounds cuz the outcome for the galaxy and alliance win is known early
-Not much excitement for everyone, but just for the top galaxy and alliances.
-Less and less people playing


That said here my suggestion:

'Capture The Flag'

Every galaxy get a flag which they have to defend. A galaxy can also try to steal a flag from another galaxy by attacking them.

At roundend the galaxy with the most flags gets the win or get per flag a scorebonus for example. You can also think of dividing a round in 2 or 3 periods. The galaxy with the most flags at the end of a period gets a scorebonus.

-More fun being in a galaxy
-More communication in galaxies
-More teamwork in galaxies
-More wars tru the round
-Less fencesitting by galaxies
-More excitement for everyone
-Even the smaller planets gets a good share of the fun!!!!!
-Alliances have to keep evolving theirself
-New Alliances tactics?

We have done this in Havoc before and that was the best and fun Havoc ever!!! All 19 planets (yes back in the days we had more than 14 planets ingal!) were uberactive and cooperating for the win. We had a shitload of fun with all the wars going on.

So why not try it in a real round...

Ofc my suggestion is open for discussion, feel free to do so...

I believe we've done afew speedgames using the CTF style, while fun on a temporary basis im not sure it would help bring new people to the game - if anything it would scare them off as they'd 'lost their flag and couldnt get it back'. Id welcome it more often in speedgames/havoc but I think it would change the dynamics of the game too much for a full round of PA and could threaten to lose alot more members, as theres plenty that wouldnt like the new system..
