knife fight improvement

[maynard]

or we could leave everything as it is given there is no issue that requires fixing

[Rellikdloc]

well there are issues, thats why the thread was started

[jwtemp]

I believe Maynard's implication is that our impatience and nard tolerance is what needs fixing and not the server. I'm inclined to agree with you Rellik - but we're just cogs in the grand Ibis machine!

maybe if he doesn't vote but not when he denies. some players deny for very good reason. not everyone is good at knifing and think there chance for gun kill is much better. punishing those people with a beacon isn't fair.

I'm pretty sure that's what shady meant.

ACtually maynard,

I've seen it personally where people don't press NEITHER 1 or 2, and stay vigilant. If they get jumped by the enemy who accepted the knife fight before? they hit 1 fast and exploit it to survive the kill.
Now clearly that's an exploit because they are gaining an advantage using a system over a generous enemy who doesn't have the same privileges.
and i've punished people for using the system like this. But there are people who still don't understand that you HAVE to chose either 1 or 2. No one is gonna judge u for being a pussy (k fine they'll judge u , but allow u ).

But if u dn't chose? u're exploiting the system, and i second shady's request to have whoever did NOT vote yet beaconed UNTIL he votes. This way it forces the fucker to vote, and vote fast before the stealthy guy finds him. even if he wanted to vote [2].
I'm not against pussies, but i'm against cheap shots who exploit the system to buy themselves a second life.
And i'm not going against u maynard, im just telling u that this shit happens more than it is reported when admins arent around.

i know ur a busy guy zero and all but i have a suggestion idk if everyone will agree but it will help out if its possible. i was wondering if maybe we could add like a beacon on the player who denies the knife fight or force a knife fight when ppl dont vote afte 10 seconds i have seen this before on servers and it seems to work out nicely..... idk maybe see what everyone says maybe or a vote if thats something you would be willing to do

I'm pretty sure that's what shady meant.

NO CYBER NO! Yeah maybe a beacon on the players after 15 seconds. That's as far as we should go with it. There has been legit times when the knife menu dosen't appear and people are not aware of !kfmenu.

IN NO WAY SHOULD ANYONE BE PUNISHED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE FOR PRESSING TWO! What is the point of asking anyways if we do that? Say it once say it a thousand times.

well I can suggest that u get beaconed for as long as u didn't press the button.
After 5 seconds of no response, if you haven't voted, FORCE A NO [2] vote.
At least then everyone would be on the same page, and it removes the chance of exploiting.

I think it's a simple problem with a simple solution. no punishment for pushing 2 (duh) but after 20 seconds of not choosing that player should have a beacon placed on them until they vote. It wont adversely affect game play, but will speed things up a bit, while also helping to keep people honest.

Or I can just have the ability to select an option time out after a few sec. I often do not press it unless I am going to accept b/c the numbers are on the opposite side of the keyboard for me.
