I closed the other topic because we believe the results to be inaccurate.  The question is not about making a permanent change to the Lunixmonster, it is about turning friendly fire off for a week or so to see if the gameplay changes for better or for worse, or doesn’t change at all.  At the end of said trial period we would evaluate and discuss the results (wins / losses / gameplay) and make a more permanent decision from there.

Personally, I love my FF. But I'm willing to forego it for one week just to see. I'm actually very curious about this.

Experimentation breeds change. I voted for a week trial.

Can't hurt, right?

I think a plugin to turn off hive FF would be the coolest.

Won't help us currently, but what if we could get it in a future version?

It should be fairly simple to make a plugin that forces FF on for GLs even if FF is off. As in, the only weapon that would do FF would be the GL.

That would solve the main problem we have FF on to fix.

but honestly...  do you think it will affect anything at all?  The thing that affects marines not winning is people not being a team.  After playing on the vet server for a while, i've found this out.  And yah, the vet server is full of arseholes, but they can play marines at least - either that or they just aren't as leet as lunixmonster aliens are.

Which 'vet' server are you referring to?  The NSA one where there's 12 players to a side?

The NSA vets server is 16 players large, and I assume that is the one he is refering too.

*shrug* I never go anywhere but LM.  Tried a bunch of other servers at random one night... and pwned.  That just felt wrong.

I am against removing FF but I will support a trial period because that would be the fair thing to do I believe.
If it moves, shoot it.
If it is still moving, shoot it again.

FF is part of the game, and a part that I've always treasured.  Also, I see it as part of LM.  I'll beg for it to stay, if I have to.

I know my token resistance doesn't seem all that sensical at this point, but can we at least give version 3.0.3 a try before we go removing FF like crazy nutbags.

Oh, in response to LF and especially malevolent cause the other thread got locked

Ok, sorry, low blow, I know

eh, not really, you do make a good point I would have said the same. My only gripe is I don't think of myself like the church :p

I'm sorry but that is far from the truth. FF has been on for a minority of the time the server has been around.

 :rolleyes:

I'm sorry Malevolent but that itself is far from the truth. LB has wanted FF on for the majority of the time the server has been on, but the option to turn it on outside of tourney play has only existed for the minority of the time.

Hence why I have the instinct to fight any changing of the FF
