Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. I know this is an idea that isn't going to be implemented till a long way down the road, when there are tons of players, and plenty of money coming in through donations. But it is still worth taking into consideration.

Here is my Idea:

There should be two new servers. One to test new coding in, and to make sure everything works out in the code. This server is open to limited or open sign-ups. Lasts just as long as the current round. 3 Months.

The second server idea of mine, is a Tournament Server. Where you CAN die. The tournament server is where you can sign up at the beginning before everything gets too far into the game and try to play against others without an official alliance. The sign-ups should stay open for maybe the first two weeks. By then, they close, and then you play till you either die, or end up the last one left. The game ends when there are only a couple of people left alive to play it.

Accept it, Bash it.
I do not care, its an idea.
Live with it.

sounds interesting.

The only thing I wouldn't like about it is that you still have too many friends from alliances that woudl go into the trouney server & gang up on others.  Then at the end they would be like welp - we all won - so now lets destroy each other.  Anyway.  Just thinking out loud

That maybe so, but then again, it will make or break any alliances that try to team together there. You might also learn the best strategy to play in the game by playing a tournament.

[Riplakish]

That could very well be.

[bokachika]

we had lots of ideas for multiple servers, like ones with and without alliances, with and without alliance caps etc. it would be cool to have this again ( we used to have this alliances and no alliances)

[Overmind]

Yes, it would be cool, and I believe there is still some pieces of the old sign-up script still hanging around I think.

Yeah, it would be great, but I can see that going on for aeons. Unless you had a very small number of competitors, everyone would gang up on the most successful player to keep themselves in the game, and it would probably keep on going in circles for a very long time. It could end up being longer than a round. Also, when at the last two competitors, the defeated player would end up being too small for the other to attack. It could work out, but it would need so many changes to the setup.

[bokachika]

why not a speed round type one where we can just play recreationally, for the less hard core players

It could go on forever, yes. People might gang up on the biggest player, and such, but we don't really see that happening right now, so it might not be too much different than the current game. It being longer than a round is usually typical of tournaments, you play till you die basically.

Plus there would be a tonne of changes as always to make something.

What, like one that maybe goes a month?

How about indefinitely?

speed round = 1 minute ticks

and not indefinitly, because if you are in a speed round, every day matters, or you will get completely left behind

[Ploppyplop]

Wow, 1 minute? that's ridiculous lol

I thought SR's were normally 5/10mins?

nope, speed rounds = 1/2min ticks
