Unruly scrum crowd?
by Jeff Axline · in ThinkTanks · 06/26/2003 (11:40 pm) · 65 replies
Is it my imagination or were the scrum games much more fun a month ago? It seems like everyone playing now on scrum plays battlemode at the same time. It is so much less fun when people feel the need to shoot everyone even if they are nowhere near the scrum. It started with a couple people here and there and now it just isn't fun anymore. It is a pity because it was such a blast! Is there anything to be done? I hate to just let the game go because of people seeming to be pissed off all the time screaming REVENGE!

What about multiple goals? Or random shaped goals? (Donuts, stars, you know.)What do you all think of that?

Or perhaps the goal gradually increases in size the longer it stays in one spot...

Hmm yeah.. just increasing the size of the goal by 50% would make life harder for the campers, and thats a nice idea :)Or perhaps the goal gradually increases in size the longer it stays in one spot...

Seems to me they, in most instances, are being / should be dealt with in guns-blazing fashion.

But I agree with Tally, shoot them more. And more tank drivers need to remember that many goals can be scored just by getting your treads across the edge of the goal, while the camper sits inside.
I have noticed though, it's a lot harder to out maneuver campers since the aiming change. When you are being pelted with ammo, you just don't have enough time for the camper avoidance dance.
Most of the successful camping lately has not been from popping out of the goal and stealing, it's from catching the scrum that just flew off a dead tank.

I think it could be a lot less. Increasing by a minor 10% would change camping success.But I agree with Tally, shoot them more. And more tank drivers need to remember that many goals can be scored just by getting your treads across the edge of the goal, while the camper sits inside.
