Re: Anti-target
Posted By: Red Loser <dnannery@purdue.edu>Date: 1/6/04 10:54 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Anti-target (Khaim)

: On second thought, maybe it's a bad idea to take points away when you kill an
: non-objective target. Here's a better idea: increase the respawn time-
: five seconds per kill would work, although ten would really drive the
: point home. When you have to sit out a few minutes because you went
: trigger-happy and blasted everyone in sight, maybe you'll reconsider. Note
: that this applies to both KIO and Oddball (unless either is a team game).

In theory, it's an excellent idea, but in practice, there are problems. What if you need to defend yourself from one of these folks? You can't kill them...that would penalize you. And what about the guy targeting you? Would you be penalized for killing him, too?

There are solutions to such problems, but they are overly complicated. If a game option is not simple, then it's too hard to explain and not worth implementing. ("Keep It Simple, Stupid." :) )
