Did we win? - Understanding the mod and the rules.

It really is very simple, any one who doesn't understand mak's rule set has clearly not played the mod. There is about a 0.000000000000000000000000000007% chance (in hell) that the number of caps and TPM on each team ties. If it did occur simply take your pick of ways to break it, I believe I saw ked say somewhere take each clans best knight and have them 1v1 for the win. Why not, a tie won't happen anyways. It's not calculus to figure out who won if no flags are capped, it's simply whoever spent more time in 'enemy' territory. And if you don't think that the team who did a better job at trying to actually CAPTURE the flag, not defend their own for as long as possible deserves the win, then you don't seem to grasp the concept of (woah, wot) Capture The Flag. The time limit is also pretty perfect in my opinion, nobody wants to play 2 hour matches with 30 block thick stone walls around a flag. Bout a half hour minimum 45 min max is a perfect game time. Also, each time extension feels like extra incentive to get something done, because if you make some moves and manage to nab a flag in less than 25 minutes without losing one you are rewarded for your effort and the enemy team has no chance (that round) to make some half assed hard tunnel comeback an hour into the game. On the flip side if the enemy caps one of your flags you are then driven to bust your fucking ass to get at least one of theirs to achieve the extension, and possibly a win.

It seems to me the amount of effort used fussing over ties and miniscule details would be better spent on learning to capture the flag.

I'm not even participating in MLK but the mod works great, 10/10 mak. Fuck a tie.

 

The difference is people see this a competitive league. No one would want to go fighting apex if they actually have to defeat them. Most people wouldnt have a chance and their only reason for playing them in an elo league would be the chance to tie and gain elo. I personally do not care about it atm but i can see how some people wouldnt like tht.

 

I understand the team that built a big ass tower at mid, put siege there and destroyed the whole enemy base deserves the win - but did they earn it? Fuck no. Game is CAPTURE THE FLAG, not camp the mid.

 

Ok so listen me guys, i will start the league today. If after 2 weeks - 1 month you really don't like the rules, we will change them.

Mak can you just speak about where we playing, on what server each teams play. (EU VS AUS = NA West Coast etc....)
I will use this post for the official rules :)

 

add that to the rules but if we have a NA west coast server it's not for nothing remember that ;)

 

Sorry if this is stupid but how do you measure the ticks past mid?

 

So the team that didnt play their won match as well compared to the other team wins?

 

dont use the word ticks to mean seconds and seconds past middle. it makes it pretty confusing. just say time. change it to say the team that won faster.

 

the only time it's confusing is in that one sentence I quoted

 

Yes, I understand what a tick is. But how do we know how many ticks past mid each player has? Is there a mod to measure it or do we just estimate?
