I say give it a one week trial run. It'll be weird to NOT have FF on for once, even though up until I came to the LM, I couldn't find any other server with FF enabled.

Oh, and finally people won't be able to TK me for welding them. Yeah, you know who you are!

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

And that proves the point. It has not been on that long at all. It has nothing to do with what someone wanted when it couldn't be done. I said it wasn't on the server. It has to do with what the public has seen. They have seen that it hasn't been on the server for most of the time (if they started playing a long time ago). It can't be a staple if it doesn't exist on the server. That is my point.

To me, FF has not been on that long, and it doesn't do anything for me. It's nice because it's different, but I won't ever miss it. I think the people that play on the server are much more important than any plugin, etc. that the server runs.

EDIT: Made quote better.

And now we should really wait to see what this new version of NS does to the Alien vs Rines win/loss before turning off friendly fire.

We won't disable FF until we see if the new serverside patch changes the win / loss ratio considerably.  Don't worry.  If after a few weeks aliums are still kicking ass, we'll give this ff-off thing a try.  But we wouldn't change it at the same time as a new game-changing patch.

Well the new update should significantly improve the beginning of the game for marines.

Marines winning more doesnt make mc rushing an unbuilt hive any less cheap.

Spawncamping is a good strategy too. Your team wins. On this server, it's considered cheap though.
My point being: Good strategy and cheap are not mutually exclusive.

Correction: a cheap strategy - which as Mal pointed out, is not usually there.

Seems like theres enough FF off servers already up to get the feel of a FF off server hence i voted to keep FF on.
I've played FF off and on, IMO its more fun with it on.


yay.

I don't see how mc rushing a hive is "cheap."  when marines wound the hive, aliens are able to mc over, FF server or not.  so why not when an alien wounds it?

I see the point you're trying to make, but in this case, aliens can easily send one or two (gorge + skulk, maybe) to hit the hive in case a ninja is around or something. For example: A Marine makes it to the hive, stays outside for a PG. No aliens are around. A smart Marine does not hit the hive, to ensure that he isn't met with any more resistance than he can handle.

Another example: Marine gets a PG outside of hive. A lone alien is in the unbuilt hive. What does the alien do in LM? Hit the hive, of course. Normally, the Marine would wait for reinforcements before htiting the hive, to prevent the MC rush.

Closing thread for now.

For everyone's information I'd wanted FF on in NS for a very long time since hosting servers, so when the option was added we jumped on it.
