"awesome" friday gauntlet - 2007/03/17 07:33
the gauntlet today was bullshit, basically an excuse to give 500 points to a city of good players.
I logged on tonight not even aware a gauntlet was going to start or whatever... there were cities on the map and I was having fun fighting and owning pirate. It finally got down to there were very few cities on the map, including huambo which was stacked. We started attacking huambo but then decided to get the gauntlet instead.
We later directed our attention to huambo and now there were literally hundreds of turrets surrounding huambo, protecting it so they could get the gauntlet. Gauntlets are competetive, and at least in ones of this form, you should be able to kill the other cities. Or AT LEAST all cities should be on even footing.
We thought, whatever, I guess we should just continue to go after the gauntlet. However, our city was attacked and by the time we rebuilt, the gauntlet was destroyed. The protection that was afforded to huambo (and their positioning right next to the gauntlet) allowed them to dominate it.
Now I am not sure that Rise BCL realized what he did, but he gave one team the complete advantage in orbing the gauntlet. He basically gave 4 players 500 free points for shooting some turrets. There was absolutely no competition for them.
