there are situations, though, where everyone is waiting for a 4/5 fight to finish, which would mean that 1st through 3rd would all lag out with this idea. but i understand what youre saying. the current consensus is that points should be awarded for kills, which would give people more incentive not to respect tiny empty domstealing vflags just because they are vflags.

but that could go wrong too, because ppl would just be like, leave me alive for 4th, and i promise you that you can kill me then.

meh, ppl will always find the loopholes in the system, and maximize their point gain. be thankful that right now there arent any massively massive loopholes out there. but keep on coming up with ideas on how to improve, despite what ppl say, Ryan does read this forum, and he does respond to bugs/issues. its just that ppl like to complain more than be appreciative, thats our nature.

I have been arguing to fix flags ever since I started playing here. This idea has some merit but lacks practical application.

ELO era flags are what we need now. No more flagging for position, which IMO is the worst flag system ever but for some reason the longest lived. When you are ready for the game to end you click the flag box, when all surviving players are flagged besides the person in first the game is over and places are awarded based on position players are in at the end. People would have to fight to maintain the position they wanted, sitting and not fighting would likely cost a player position.

Also fix dom, kthx.

It would be interesting to reintroduce ELO era flags at this point in the game, but at the same time it might give some of the older players an advantage. We have played that system, and would likely have a much higher learning curve on how it adjusts to the current style of play. Just random thougts...not sure I'm even making sense.
