More heart-pounding!

Jan 12, 2006 genka link
This started off as a reply to one of Smittens' clever ideas, but I figured it was coherent enough to warrant a thread of its own. So here it goes!

Wow, great idea, sure to bring more heart pounding to vendetta!
I cam up with a few other heart-pounding ideas:

*More lag. Few things compare to the heart-pounding one experiences during a bad lagspike. Will the bot kill you? Will you get away unscathed? And even after, when the former proves to be true, the heart-pounding just goes on!

*Greater divide between newbs and the rest of us. Granted, not so much for non-newbish people, but think of the heart-pounding a newbie experiences when a clever ace sweeps him aside repeatedly, without any sort of consequences! And newbies is where the heart-pounding has to strike! We have to hook them while they're young!

*More smack-talk. Alright, there isn't much the devs can do to increase this bit, except for maybe make more stats and badges to feed peoples' egos, but there is no denying the heart-pounding powers of smack talk. This is an opportunity for us, as a community, to band together and make smack-talk of global proportions! Also, the badge thing from the devs would be nice.

*More pretentious reviewers. Why, just today I met someone named "Andrew d'Bacon" or something of the sort, and let me tell you, that was one hell of a heart pounding! I say we breed more of his sort, get MacFormat to publish one article each, and then get them a permanent job at blogcritics.com. Soon enough we can have millions of little Andrew d'Bacons running around, instead of just tens of thousands, like we do now.

*Less balance. Kinda covered in the "newbs-vets divide" suggestion, but hey, it's important, so let's mention it again! The heart-pounding that happens when your ship is torn apart by an entirely unbalanced one is AMAZING, and let's face it, regardless of what the optimists say, there just aren't enough of those moments in VO. This is something the devs should get on ASAP.

Let's play it this way, boyo - It's hangman and you're on the gallows. For each shitty, pointless thread, troll or other nonsense (in or out of game) I or any other guide has to clean up after you've been through, I add a letter.

If I get all the way to /oper /mute "genka"

it goes on again. Capisce?
