Enforced kit requirements!? Please VOTE!

[*DAMN Mauti]

The *DBL admins are currently discussing a change if we should enforce that every player has to take a different specialty(rifleman, demo or sniper - support is banned) in the GhR Advanced ladder:

Before any map is played, clan-players must select a different type of soldier among the valid options (Rifleman, Demo and Sniper). Once all soldier types have been picked, they can be chosen a second time around, again choosing from the valid alternatives.

The admin vote was tied. The following reasons have been posted:

Pro:

- something new, that could bring in some fresh experience to a very old game
- less OICW GL spamming
- new tactics

Contra:

- needs a bit more inner clan communication time to setup a game
- in the beginning may a few won games go to the opposite team, because a kit has been selected too often
- sniping may be harder with lag than using rifle or demo kits.


As a consequence it's up to you to decide what we should do. Every clan is allowed to vote once by submitting a post with:

YES, CLAN X would like to see enforced kits added to the GhR Adv ladder.
NO, CLAN X wants the kit selection as it is

(remove CLAN X with your clan name)

Please vote within the next 24hours.

Results:

YES: 3
NO: 4

ps: to observe if your opponent has taken the right kits you would have to take a look at the after action screen. There all used kits can be seen next to your kill stats.

Update: votes are counted until {E}.

NO, [TRIBE] wants the kit selection as it is

Cause i dont want to check all the time if the oposite clan did use the restrictions

Maybe if a mod would do it !!!

As a player for *NRG I vote YES to the rule.  I will try to check with *Macuber and *Peppy within the next 24hrs to make the *NRG vote final.

PS: Is it official the default # of players for a clan battle this season is 4 vs 4?  That could have a huge impact on the voting, because if its 4 vs 4 clans then know they will be able to have at least 2 Rifleman in Clan Battles. 
If its 3 vs 3 Clans will have to decide between taking the OICW/GL or Sensors which wouldn't be a good thing.
This rule could add alot of excitement to the Ghr ladder knowing teams will pretty much be limited to one sensor guy and one GL guy, more team skill will be required and clans should start investing in a Sniping Specialist.

I vote "no" for GhRa> clan:
-This would make the lag problem even more annoying
-Snipers would make it even more campy
-This is not the way to reduce lag : Lowering oicwgl's rate of fire is
-The host would be advantaged behing a sniper
-Other things new can be done for this game : (cqb could be put back with the subbmachine guns only restriction)
-This is impossible, for the moment, to know what kit somebody else have, and, even if that was possible, there would still be loads of drawbacks...

The lag in a room should never be so bad to the point that you can't shoot a guy with a sniper rifle.  If thats happening blame your own host/computer.  The host has NO advantage being the sniper, if thats true then "holy shit" the current rules aren't even fair because the host has the choice of ANY KIT!!! 

Guys its very simple to check the other team to see if they followed the rule correctly.  Remember when a clan battle ends and the kills screen pops up, just click the opposing team and right there you can see what soldier they had.  If people can't take the time to press their mouse button one time and check it then this is a complete waste of time.

Po votes YES
We are willing to try something new.

[Macuber]

YES, *NRG would like to see enforced kits added to the GhR Adv ladder.

In the first place, I did not answer PUNISHER's post because i consider it offtopic.
Indeed, Pun this is a place to vote, not to react to one another's post.
Then, I have to say I'm stoned by your post:
- First, you never play on Euro servers, apart from cb's, then how could you know ?
- Then, Of course The host is advantaged being a sniper and of course the host DO have an advantage when he is playing, don't ask me why, i could not explain, but that's the way it is.
Last question: What is a demolition guy gonna do on wilderness? and what is a sniper guy gonna do on aztec?

[[a] LYNX]

tho animals didnt finish their intern vote, all votes so far say NO. as a wa of [a] i say no for animals before the deadline ends in 10 mins.

[*DAMN Mauti]

Alright the vote is closed and once again it is tied. As a consequence the kit enforcement won't be added for season XIV.

May it will be introduced for a special event in the near future.

Bye,

Mauti
ps: the only exception would be if animals clan leader may change the outcome the next hours, because Lynx is only a waradmin.

We don't have a leader

Democracy rox!!!

Last question: What is a demolition guy gonna do on wilderness? and what is a sniper guy gonna do on aztec?

May I remind you that demo does have mp5/4sensors (great for wilderness) and sniper has nades on almost every gun which Clay should know, are great for Aztec)

Playing devils advocate. I know this is a place for votes but I want people to get whole story before they vote.

oops... I see it has already closed. Well, there I go... late as usual.

[legendrob]

If it makes any difference now, {E} votes no as well,
