Round 10 Results:

10/14 4:08 pm Rebels def Assassins 10-7 log

10/14 2:59 pm Llamas def Thor 12-7 log

10/14 2:29 pm FTNguyen def StarFire Elite 12-0 log





Rebels managed to defeat Assassins 10-7 in a strange game. Rebels got the early 1-0 lead at 2:14, then killed Arc twice at 6:09 and 6:53. Nacre subbed in, but since he is a legend he died out at 12:04 for no apparent reason. The score was 12:04 at that point. A bit later develop subbed in, trying to turn the tide. He burned 3 lives in under 7 miuntes, and Ass only got 1 kill during that time frame. So we get to 27:31 and 3-9 2v4. Then Kdak and Saiyan kill 4 people before time runs out, dying once. Pseudo and Clapton played full time, finishing 4-1 and 3-1 with 4FR each.

In other news, Llamas beat Thor for their second win of the season. Llamas only wasted 3 repels total, which I still suspect is related. SF won the MVP by bots with 4-2 and 5FR 3AS, while Babaloo finished 1-1 6FR 4AS (and the first KO, solo). Candy valiantly ran away as much as humanly possible and finished with +5 rating.

FTNguyen used silly ships vs. SFE and won 12-0 with Leg and 7th having the silliest ships of them all, and thus getting 5-0 and 4-0. Unlike their recent win over Rebels? SFE wasted 11 repels total here.

Who can we talk to about getting the stats.svszone.com site up so league has more visibility?



Historically we had better populations when a league site existed so inactive/new people could visit and see who's still playing and whatnot. It's also easier for people to check out schedules and stuff as well.



I would be willing to put up cash to get it back online - and will of course ask for nothing in return.

Round 9 Results:

10/7 3:59 pm Assassins def Thor 6-5 log

10/7 3:44 pm Llamas def StarFire Elite 12-8 log

10/7 2:40 pm FTNguyen def Rebels 12-3 log



Assassins kind of let Thor do their thing of flying backwards, lobbing multibullet. So the game was mostly very slow, with a few faster kills. Jake at least repelled swamp to a bomb he missed with, while both were moving at about rocket speed already. oss seems to have done the grunt work with his 2-0 6FR.

Llamas got their first win of the season after showing up with a gazilliontrillion players and using 5 of them. Something Clutch put up a fight until the very end getting a kill 4v1.

Rebels once again had less than an optimal show-up, and lost 12-3. My 4-0 1FR reigns superior, although the robot prefers KN's 3-1 with 3AS 5FR (23 to 12 rating). Dagger's spider was the first out, after which the game was obviously 4v3 and the x-radar advantage was gone. 7th countered the spider with a terrier, which btw does not have free x. Game wise it was a pretty solid match.

Oh, I believe I curved a bomb by two repels right up the ass of pseudo.



--- ROSTERLOCK IS BEFORE ROUND 10, including players who haven't played. Excluding potential dissolving squads' players, maybe. ---

  Chaos Zone Observations
Posted by: Sue E. Side - 10-04-2012, 02:08 PM - Forum: Chaos Discussion - Replies (18)

I'd like to think these observations of a Chaos Zone diehard with a shamefully high amount of playtime under his belt will bring up some discussion about the state of the zone and whether or not changes should be made, but I'm throwing them out there regardless:


  • Streaks/Sprees


A slick addition. Added new stats for goal-oriented players, especially significant because it rewards those choosing to fight rather than run and encourages players to keep their high bounty in play.
  • Green Settings


There are just way too many of them floating around and the fact remains that prizes such as repels and bursts became repulsively easy to collect in a zone that already starts you off with a well-stocked ship. It's not uncommon for a target to use four or more repels in just a minute's time, among other defensive measures, which can grow incredibly frustrating when targets are constantly running on a map I'm sure many will agree is too large for the low population it houses. Greening used to be a neccessity once upon a time, requiring players to pick them up as often as possible, adding a layer of depth to the gameplay that's now practically nonexistent due not only to the green and ship settings, but also bonuses and flagging rewards. I miss playing with/against ships of varying speeds, recharge rates, etc.
  • Bonuses


Bonus points are either too easy to obtain or cost of bonuses too low, take your pick. It should not be this easy for players to prize themselves multiple sets of toys in a zone where they're already extremely easy to come by via greening, flagging, playing the weekly trivia game or being showered with free greens just because a zone staffer feels like it. It's been mentioned before by SuG, but these bonuses provide absolutely no downside to their use other than depleting your bonus point total and adding one, such as warping you to a random location with depleted energy after each use would cause players to think twice before abusing the feature.
  • Flagging


Let's face it, what should have been one of many game styles offered wound up actually hijacking the entire zone. If you're interested in flagging or not, chances are some or all of your targets are and you will have to deal with the consequences whether that means being hunted by a 4-5 man freq at low bounty because your name just turned red or struggling to find targets because the flag carriers choose to play it safe by removing themselves from the action. More often than not the flag game tends to contribute to the culture of cowardice that I've noticed to be unfortunately predominant in the zone since my return last May. "Keep away" became a common strategy, grabbing a flag and flying around the quiet edges of the map, avoiding conflict at all costs in a zone originally designed to bring players together. It's had a significant impact on the zone in a number of different areas such as the aforementioned cowardly style as well as increasing the number of high bounty kills and sheer volume of toys in play. Increasing the flag timer from 3 to 12 minutes has improved the game somewhat, but the bottomline remains the same: I loathe that a kill or be killed zone has become a flagging zone.
  • Map Bottlenecks


I still love this map, even after all the minor changes it has undergone over the years, aside from the reset/MoC winners rectangle eating up precious real estate in the center of the map, but I can't help thinking the flow of the game can be significantly improved with just a few minor bottlenecks being opened up, such as the O12 intersection possibly allowing access to/from all sides of the tunnel. The population numbers being what they are, we should be finding ways to imptove the flow of the game rather than slowing it down - it's already easy enough for a coward to run all day long without giving them endless tunnels to mine/brick, too.

  • Safe Timer


We recently had a 12 hour safe timer implemented for a reset and I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say most opinions about the setting were negative. There was/is absolutely no reasonable argument to be made for it, just as I don't understand why the 15 minute timer of old was replaced with a 45 minute timer. The 15 minute timer not only served as a more than adequate way for people to run AFK for bathroom breaks, phone calls, etc without losing their bounty, but it added a safe camping option that no longer exists: turf wars would sometimes erupt when hunters chased targets into a safe zone knowing they had to poke their head out to reset their 15 minute timer or lose their ship/streak. Safe to say that increasing the timer to 45 mins made camping those safe zones an absolute waste of time. As an added bonus, reverting back to 15 mins could serve to remove the burden of having the bot remove/reprize anti-warp and reset kill streaks.

  • Reset Winners


If stat winners are allowed to employ virtually any means neccessary to achieve their goals, such as abusing ship changing and Esc Q to win ratio, there's no integrity and without integrity they're nothing more than personal goals - no need to dedicate a precious chunk of the map to glamorize them. There was the one incident in recent months of Ethylene being disqualified from a reset, but questions regarding that case have gone unanswered.





In short, I think too much has been done to "dumb down" the zone to make the game more accessible for newer players when the fact of the matter is there is virtually no retention of those new players. Best to keep the zone as true to its roots as possible, catering instead to the oldschool vets we know log in everyday rather than the rare newbie that likely won't change his decision to stay or leave based on these settings anyway.

You have this round and the week after it to fiddle with your roster.



Round 8 Results:

9/23 3:57 pm FTNguyen def Assassins 12-3 log

9/23 3:09 pm Rebels def Llamas 12-5 log

9/23 2:39 pm Thor def StarFire Elite 12-5 log





Thor showed about a trillion people to their match vs. FTNguyen but only used five of them. They also pretty much wasted more repels this game than they've done up to this point in the season total. And that's after the combined 15FR from Nguyens (Leg 5, Caer 5). KN focused on kills and finishe 6-2 4 solo kills, 3 as, 3 FR 2 WR (100% of nguyens' wasted repels). The game itself started real slow and kept on going slow.

Everything probably didn't go as planned for Llamas when Pension was the first to die... then the second to die.. and also the third to die. Either precision targetting by Assassins or something else. Pension also racked up 5 WR in those so.. who knows. The log has this line:

Pension> appeal for afk kill in the beginning



<img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Sad' />



Rebels beat SFE 12-6 with Captor's 5/1, 5 AS, 7FR performance. Ex-Starfir Riverside 0-1'd trying to throw the game for rebels, but still had 5 FR. Gold teeth for SFE ended a mere 1-3 but with 7 FR, while MfA managed to land another 14 mines on his enemies and dealth the second most overall damage in the game at 49k with only Captor ahead of him at 51k. A wild Mauler also appeared, but wasn't super-effective.



Random league related stats: We're up to 71 players having played during the season. 1 player has 100% first out rate.

Out of those players, 17 players have something other than 0% for First Out. The website/bot thinks the formula is 0-3 or 1-3 in <10 minutes, but I'm not sure if that applies.

FTNguyen vs. Assassins was a thrilling battle with a few portal jukes that are sort of rare. Including a kill via portaling on a bomb that therefore closebombs (kn on Nacre). Nacre lagged out his toys on hit first life, which then sort of set the pace. Nacre forced 6 repels, bhang waster 5. Yeah, five. KN played for 32 minutes and ended up 6-1 2FR. Legacy ended with 1-1 5AS 7FR in 36:15.

Rebels vs. Llamas wasn't very exciting, BARBARIAN finished 5-1 4FR, pseudo 3-2 7FR, Da Monkk played for almost two minutes.

Thor beat SFE 12-5 in a rather uneventful match based on the log. If anyone knows of any heroics during this game, leave a reply <img src='http://www.subspace.co/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Smile' />

Round 6 Results:

9/16 2:52 pm FTNguyen def Llamas 12-6 log

9/16 2:33 pm Assassins def StarFire Elite 12-1 log



Assassins repeated their 12-1 result vs. SFE. Dre was obviously the one to explode into tiny spaceship bits, and in despair develop recruited Jake shortly after the match (that's Rage).



Llamas pulled another classic "full"sub vs. FTNGuyen, subbing a 0/2 player with a burned player. Well, cfl lagged to spec a bit after that anyways so he would've been burned. Other than that, Llamas were up 2-1 with DarkDenizen dead twice. DD was eventually subbed by mAImER, who went 4-0 and was subbed by a certain killer bunny who went 1-0 and 100% DmgE. Hah. 7th did all the grunt work with full 30:55 gametime, 2/2 6FR.



Thor previously beat Rebels 12-2. This time The game went into OT at 5-4, and Thor then took it home 6-4. Rebels' line-up, while quite standard, didn't seem to work. Barbarian died twice between 16:45 and 19:02 and wasted two repels, which probably had something to do with the score as well.
