auto-forcebalance-teams can be annoying at times.

proposal: balanced respawn times

if axis have 6 players and allies have 3 players, allies will get 50% shorter respawn than map default.

or

if axis have 6 players and allies have 3 players, axis will get 50% longer respawn than map default.

i am leaning towards the latter. you can continue the game without changing players, but it is great incentive for players to voluntarily balance the teams. the respawn times would take effect immediately (eg the instant someone joined or left a team for any reason).

The second does sound better...I think this is a good idea and it solves the irritation of being switched.

i like the second better as well, and I hate it when im switched because your points are reset at 0, so if you were doing really well you loose all your points, and your rank wont be as good.

that's why team switching takes into account your score, how much gold you are carrying, and if you are dead or not. If you're dead and have 2 points, you're gonna get switched - but if you own the scoreboard you won't.

I like the idea. I think it would be interesting to see how it would work out. Sounds good to me though.

It's a kid sitting on a test tube eating beans with faces, then crapping them into the test tube, where they're all very happy.

Close. They're Puyo beans, or blobs (from the game series, Puyo Puyo). It was made by snowmask on Deviantart, along with tons of other deviantart-ists.

I just took my little version of my name (PuyoDead, and a small description of myself I told her) and cut it out.
