I say this not only because I agree with Namor (that no map should be banned) but also because some programs or scripts check for game results which would end up being erroneous if, say, a Round 15 decision in favour of one team ended up being won by the other.

Best Idea yet, Cof... I am against any map being banned, and love the suggestion of starting those maps early if they become problematic (or mandatory that they are rd 1 games, or not at all).

I don't see any possible way you can control for all variables in "calling" a winner, with the exception of if one team publicly concedes.

I would just add at this point; my suggestion wasn't intended as a solution to our current Hive game with Empire. It could only ever work, if it was implemented prior to the game creation.

It wouldn't be easy starting a Hive game 1 week early, if the clan wanting to use the map, is already late for a round, due to a delay in the current one. But I can see the point that CoF is making.

While we're on the topic of allowing every map. When are we going to allow manual and nuclear. We are in the quarter final round of cla, why can we play those settings. There's no noobs in this round, and they've been around long enough that we've had time to learn them. Why haven't they been added to what's allowed yet?

We can talk about that for Season 4. It was simply too late for S3. Personally I think nukes are ok, plays a lot like No cards. Manual I'm less hot on, I still see a lot of stacking to kill and unless the site limits the stacking, I'm personally not going to allow it. I've had some test runs with players who love it and I'm still not convinced. The argument that it is a site feature, we should be able to play, it doesn't fly with me considering freestyle, speed etc. are not in clan games for specific reasons. If you have a really strong argument for manual, that does not include stacking, I'd love to hear it.

Yay to nukes. Boo to wankers manual.

Nukes are a garbage setting as well, IMHO.

I have a very poor arguement for it. It would help me pick up some medals : p.

I see ur point jp, perhaps manual may not be for clan wars.

I tend to agree somewhat. Nukes can be fun, but I am really not for them in a clan war. As far as manual, without knowing who goes first then we cannot include it. As for maps.. All maps should be allowed.
