We need more players who try to comm

If you command properly and yell at people and boot the useless you will get banned by a carebear.

actually you can get away with it. JGbaxter holds about a 85% boot ratio. So almost 1 person per game commanded.

I'm sitting at about 20%

although some games I am severely tempted

The fact that I have a choice of commanding or sitting lobby for 30 minutes, every single time I play, is basically why I'm burned out on Allegiance at the moment.

Commanding isn't any fun for me.

I don't really think being able to boot more freely would make it better, though.

Ooh man flying against JGBaxter is soo much fun. 2 seconds after you kill a miner or kill a base someone on his team gets booted, it really cracks up the team when you see the opposing commander lose his temper /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Sad to hear that Lyk and we agree booting for the sake of discipline solves nothing.

[Mryddlin]

It seems like there really isn't an easy solution.

Allegiance is a competitive game by it's very nature and no one wants to be the losing team all the time.

What do you think of the a Commander imbalance flag? Do you think something that force the commanders to be similar ranks would help or hurt?

Pros that I see:
- keeps commanders skill levels even
- helps promote mid level commanders by ensuring they won't get a higher level comm against them

Cons:
- could make finding a commander that much longer to start a game
- may promote mass leaves to new servers instead of promoting the new commanders
- in game drops could potentally leave very few players able to take command

I would want to see something like this as a flagable option and not a forced rule. This is an option more aimed at the novice to intermidate levels, I doubt vets would use it that often unless they wanted to ensure a vet commander.

Agreeing with me makes YOU a NakPuppy. The leader of the NakPuppies is simply known as NakPPI thank you very much. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Welcome to the club KG and Grim. Rofls.

In all seriousness, if players would listen to orders and not fly in circles I would command. I think I already said that. /glare.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":glare:" border="0" alt="glare.gif" />

I conservatively estimate when I boot for discipline often times team efficiency increases at least 75%. People are SUDDENLY very eager to probe and nan.

But then again I have commanded many more games than both of you combined so it could just be a sheer numbers thing
