    Yes, irony is when you try to point out to someone in a lighthearted way that they’ve made a humorous spelling mistake, but they mistake your intentions and think that you’re attacking them. Sorry for any offence caused.

    You’re a genius, not a genious.
    NB - loved you’re videos on map control. I recommended it to all my guild. I think there’s still one map that you didn’t cover though (damage depot, unless I missed it due to distractions when watching??)- is it possible you can do that in future?

    Not the minesweeper. :eek:

    I get a quite a few minesweeper badges. I'm even going to name my ship minesweeper if rovio adds it in an update. You can't take my rewards away for that. I get so little of it anyway.:(

    Hey thanks for the feedback, I’ll change that, sorry, lol. Thanks for the feedback on the vids, too.

    Yeah those maps will happen later as they are more advanced maps. I will also be doing other vids later too, so stay posted.

    The number one problem in Battle Bay, BY FAR, is that the developers failed to think out their incentive structure. So now you want to provide incentives for all sorts of random crap like "last stand"? Why?

    I can see adding some SMALL infamy bonus in for great team players but someone is going ot need to show me how we define a "great team player". It sure as heck isn't the the last boat or the one that did the most damage or (looks guilty) the guy tho gets hit by 90 torps.

    Or does it. The last man standing is usually the guy who understands the map more and knows how to play it. And if he kills people while in that situation, oh yeah definitely a good team player.

    If someone is taking a crap ton of torps, then he is taking the bullet for a teammate.

    And the guy who did the most damage, definelty is the best player on the team.

    It’s these kind of people that battle bay players need to and help because they obviously know what they are doing.

    I think you've highlighted your own problem. Sure, sometimes the last man standing is in fact the best player. Other times it's that cursed shooter lobbing mortars from behind a rock. I just lost a match due to one of those. I don't know if he was highest damage but he was up there.... a total loss to the team. As the guy who is often "taking craploads of torps" that doesn't mean I was sucking up torps for my team. It means I was an idiot who got caught out of position and died in seconds. The guy who did the most damage is most definitely NOT the best person on the team. All that means is that he's a shooter with fire bomb. I'd need to know a lot more about the actual match before i decided who was best.

    Most of the badges were obviously in jest. If you put rewards on them you suddenly start making what was a joke real. I think that's a very bad idea unless you want the game itself to become [even more of a] joke.

    That’s why the badge system can be improved to reward those players and not the dum gamer speeders, Fire bomb spammers, and mortar sitters

    You know what I'd say if I was one of the developers?

    "Great Idea! You write up the rules for how the game can programmatically identify the good team players and I'll be happy to code it up."

    Given that I know you will never succeed at that task it's sort of an empty commitment. I've already punched holes in every example you've given and I'm perfectly prepared to go ahead and punch holes in any other "good player attributes" you'd care to come up with.

    Do you even know who I am? I am HARPO! The motherfuckin HARPO! And how dare you think that you have the balls to “punch holes in my ideas.”

    I don’t see you making map Control videos to help the community

    I don’t see you posting about a script for the movie and entertaining over 500 people with it

    I don’t see your posts getting frequently pinned or liked

    So either you help this community, or go away.

    My Grandpa told me that there are two kinds of people in this world, Builders and Destroyers, and you sir are a Builder.


    P.S.-everyone knew that Napalm was a Map Control Weapon. Also, you’re a mk4 at the 1000 infamy range. When I was a mk4, I was at the 2000 infamy range. So I think I know what the fuck I’m talking about, PAL!

    P.P.S.- Never anger HARPO!

    I am duly chastised.

    It doesn't, of course, change the fact that your idea is hopelessly complicated. But you know what? I did, in fact, think of a metric which would accurately measure someone's contribution to their team winning. It's called "winning". Assuming we are all floating in the same sea of odds & sodds insofar as team mates go (and I think that's a safe assumption above 1500 infamy), then to the extent that my contribution is more than the average I will rise. My teams will win more... maybe only 1:20 more because I'm just one guy one a 5 person team and I'm not the god of Battle Bay. But still, if I'm better than most than my teams, on the average, have a little more than most and we will, on the average, win.

    troll, u shouldnt just rant at someone and then tag the MVP so u can get ur post changed also. Whats the point of taging people, as its not like they are going to come and help u, he just said ur idea would never be implemented and tahts probably true. It is a philosophical question, who is a good team player? so really u shouldnt rant or whatever. He just said ur idea wouldnt work and then u go all out rage mode
