CTC Status?

Dec 09, 2004 andreas link
Sorry to bring this up again, but what is the CTC status? The round didn't end and its already mid-week. Nobody defends it, nobody captures it. Its just in limbo. Could we get some information how this is going to proceed?

A bunch of related bugs were fixed, it should end properly this weekend. Consider it an odd 2-week cycle this one time.

Could we please purge the surplus then? Otherwise it will be double next week.

it was double last week too. Let it be as-is :)

You really want that? With a head start of 1200 we won't even try. Whats the point of that? Its just as boring as right now, where nobody cares.

well look at this week. Last week, when the separation was "only" 600, I worked really hard to neutralize the difference. We protected the transport pretty well and killed and looted every Itani transport, and when I logged off, the difference would be 520 or so. When I logged on again, it was back to 600. After three or four days of this, I got tired of it. Now the difference is 1000+. I'm not going to try so hard for the rest of the round.

Is it suppoesd to be 20% of the difference? Ctc was gettin pretty even with the amount of Itani players joining in till it got handicaped. :(

I agree the surplus is a bit ridiculous. In fact, I am all for doing away with the surplus all together, or nerf it down to, say 5-10%. (and yeah I am Itani :)).

It's exciting when things are close. When you get a 500+ head start, it's not really fun to "win". Like Pidgeon said, a 100+ surplus is hard to make up.

If the devs want to give an advantage, I suggest the losing side gets an extra convoy (or an extra transport in a run), say every hour. This would give them an advantage, but not too much that it becomes pointless to play.

my 2 creds.
