STart the battle Royal later in the day

For the 3rd time in a row. The Death2all or whoever created it this time created it at the same time. This is unfair for those that have to go to school or sleep at that time. So I'd say either start 2 at a time or just make it fair for those that can't be there at the time. ;)

It was created around the time we reached game 1 million, and planned for that. If we would've reached game 1 million later in the day, it would've started later. Better luck next time.

jake, calm down, we don't need hostility in the suggestions forum.

I think Battle Royales should become routine things, instead of a "whenever the hell we wanna do them" game that we have now. Maybe one BR game starts every two weeks, and if you have joined any of the previous four or five you cannot join a new one. And maybe make it a premium only affair to encourage more premium memberships.

Way too often, that will make BR less special. The reason BR's are so great (and I haven't even played in one) is because of their few appearances. If there is one every 2 weeks, then that destroys the point of a BR. However, I think that in the future I should get to make the Battle Royale Games :D

Part of the excitement is discovering it at random and not knowing when they are going to happen. It wouldn't be nearly as fun if every 2 weeks there was a new person earning 2500 points and climbing to the top of the scoreboard. Having it as a surprise is the only way to go.

I was just throwing out a random number. Every month. Every two months. I think they should be more than every random.

This wasn't very random. Most users seemed to know (or at least predict) that there was going to be a battle royale for game 1 million. There were several threads about it and some pretty obvious hints from the mods.

Also, it doesn't really matter if you were in school or asleep or whatever. There are 18,000 members on the scoreboard and only 112 get in. That's 0.6% so TONS of people are going to miss out. The fact that its hard to get into is a lot of what makes it so special.

It would be nice if new people could get in and experience it. Maybe a block if you were in the last one.

All the more reason to have some more often, so that more people get a chance to experience it.

No, the last one started at like 2am my time (I still got in it and then unriggable took me out with insane dice against my 6 buildup... bastard). This one started like 8 hours earlier.

I got into the last one, but not this one. I love when its random, because no matter if your in or not, that rush you feel when you saearch for the game is out of this world! To see an open space is another thing, but, there will be more, as long as you stick around. :wink:

BTW, I hold the title of first eliminated in br4 :cry:

Here's a post I made about two weeks ago in a thread about BRs in General Discussion.

but if there is pre-registration, youll prolly have the same problem, you'll just miss pre-registration by an hour instead... pre-registration would fill up just as quickly as the game would anyway......


People could sign up for the chance to play a battle royale. Everyone who wants to join would submit their name over the period of, say, a week. Then when the deadline passes, 100 names (or however many people are going to play) are randomly selected from the list to play the game. We should make it so that only ranked players can submit their names (no n00bs). I think it should also be for premiums only, but that may just be me.


I honestly do not think that "because they're special" is a good reason for excluding a lot fo avid members of the community from playing something they would really like to play. In fact, it's a downright terrible reason.
