Last Man Standing anonymity and ganking

[Slade]

All this means is that the people in groups would grab their friends HP bars and put them to the left, and the people they want to kill on the right.

Seriously, its a nice thought, but this is UO, expect ganking. Lots of it.

So now they know who NOT to kill. But they still have a harder time coordinating who to dump on.

You guys are really irritating. You're the kind of people who put down an idea because it isn't a PERFECT solution to the problem. I've said multiple times that this is not a perfect solution to the problem, but it takes a big step.

[BlackFoot]

i think all it would do would make it even harder for the lesser experienced and for the ungroupped players, not so much make it more difficult for people with experience and groups
one magic arrow and now they all know who the target is

[Mazer]

You could teleport into the arena, have them all auto-slayed, res, then start the event. Bars would have disappeared.

But like Blackfoot pointed out, I doubt this will make it much harder for the groups.

[Hemperor]

aww slade getting upset because not everyone agrees with his carebear idea..

welcome to uo, stop cryin about gankin, you may be at the wrong site

[DrFaustus]

....

Seriously you and Blackfag should get married and have Canadian Fag children. I'm serious, ever since you two got butt hurt and realized your own idiocy wasn't going to cut it, you started thread stalking everything that any of us post.

Realize that this is a decent idea. Stop discrediting it based on WHO posted it. Seriously Blackfoot, why are you an admin again? I thought they had to be at least semi-intelligent.

[Hemperor]

hm well why dont you do the same for deathmatch and every single other event just because slade cant win?

welcome to uo, these ARE carebear ideas

[Slade]

I won the LMS last night, actually.

[Hemperor]

congratulations, i just havent experienced your complaints. i have never seen the last 5 have more than 1 or 2 of the same guild

So now they know who NOT to kill. But they still have a harder time coordinating who to dump on.

Not really, considering someone just creates an arbitrary order for char's health bars, say "MiG first, Cindrew Second, Syntax Third etc", and just say "dump on first" or "dump on second".

You guys are really irritating. You're the kind of people who put down an idea because it isn't a PERFECT solution to the problem. I've said multiple times that this is not a perfect solution to the problem, but it takes a big step.

Its called being a realist, you may want this system to be perfect, but its not going to be, people are always going to bitch and complain with due cause.

Your optimisim is a nice change from most of the pessimistic comments that circulate, however, you're absolutely ignorant to the fact that while this caters to your wants, it doesn't cater to everyone elses. This may come as a surprise, but some people enjoy being total dickwads and ganging up 4v1 on people, just because in your opinion, what you see them doing isn't "fair", doesn't mean that your opinion has more weight than theirs.

I'll be honest with you, I don't care if people gang up on me 2v1, 3v1, 4v1, or anything. Just laugh and shrug it off, consider it a compliment that they can't drop you by themselves. Trophy points ain't everything, dork.

[Slade]

So basically Soma is saying he hasn't read a single post in this thread.

Ok...

[DrFaustus]

Well, I give up. It appears everyone is just going to respond with some elaborate scheme that will beat Slade's system.

Perhaps the scriptors of LMS will take ALL of this into consideration if they change it...

[BlackFoot]

why post in forum if you dont want feedback :/ and you gotta learn how to take a persons comment that doesnt agree with you without having a spaz attack

[DrFaustus]

No one spaz'd but I seriously doubt your feedback as a constructive means of replying.

[BlackFoot]

pointing out its flaws and that it wont have an impact other than wasting programming time and making it harder for newer players is as constructive an agruement against it as i can muster :/

[DrFaustus]

I still don't see how this is making the game harder for newbies...

LMS requires zero team work, and shouldn't.

Newbies merely will need to learn how to survive, and how to play the odds. Increasing the anonymity of it will only HELP their chances.
