Sine, how does your scoring method work?

I agree that normal sumo, with more people in 1 circle, its really about luck. Most of the times I randomly drive around and people are crashing onto their own walls until I see "winner: Lizmatic". :| God, I remember that one month where 1v1'ing was the shit and everyone was doing it, thats definitely about skill and NOT luck. Sick of that now, done too much of it. No idea who the best sumo player is though, we have a lot of good players who are all somewhat on the same skill level, but use completely different styles of playing, its hard to say so I'll leave it at that.^^

Anyone ever thought about having a 1v1 Fortress tourney? I know fort is about teamplay but still, it'd be new and 'interesting'.

Concord tried getting that together several months ago with little success. Still a good idea. I think a special 1v1 Fort map is in order though, maybe something smaller with spawn points on the side of the zone? You know, to make setups quicker? I seem to remember talk of a server script too.

Maybe we should find that thread and continue it. (I've no time to look just now...)


@Mecca: My Sumo scoring system is basically handing out 1 point for surviving the round only. No zones or kills or suicides. 5 points wins the match maybe?

EDIT: oh yeah, more for "the list"

Envy/maze/nat/ani - she's pretty brutal

...also, who was "Kim Pine" again? was that "help I'm a bug"? I can't remember all you goddamn smurfs. Pick a name and stick to it, losers.

Not really neccesary, normal fort is just fine imo. Concord or someone else (us?:D) should start it up again.

That system does sound better sine. The point system now does seem to weight kills > survival as the amount of people in the zone increases.

I would think that your point system would encourage more of a defensive/safe playing style (I could be wrong) that focuses on expanding/holding your zone and pushing the opponent out of the circle, hence the term 'sumo'. Your scoring system is worth a try imo.

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”

I believe that to truly love is the ultimate expression of the will to live.
