Conquer Club

Only provide the game type for Triples- 9 players with 3 teams.

Pretty self explanatory- have a game type where a Triples Team can play against two other teams

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

- It will allow a small point inflation for a much needed team player presence on the Scoreboard.
- Team players will have a realistic shot at being #1
- Team players will less likely to complain about 8 man freestyle speed games( quite possible but just kidding)
jacking the Scoreboard.
- Possible category for new Medals.

EDIT: Possible colors for the 9 slot. ColorSwatches

Lawn Green #7CFC00 Page 1
Peru #CD853F Page 1
Purple #551A8B Page 6
Grey 10 ( Black) # 1A1A1A Page 7 Or vice versa turn Neutral to Grey 10 and have White as the player.

Thoughts and feedback?

I think this is a killer idea. Great way to get some great battles going. Just think a 3 way clan battle. How sweet! I like this idea alot!!

- It will allow a small point inflation for a much needed team player presence on the Scoreboard.

There was a time where nearly all of the top 10 only played doubles and trips

Love the idea - but your suggestion has 1 major flaw...

Color. Whatcha mean, I should pick a color for the 9th player- Yeti? Or the color for the 9th slot can't be coded?

Pick puke brown. That's a good color. Good idea, it would be fun to play.

You need to find an acceptable colour for the 9th player...

You might have to shift colors around. Make Nuetrals Black and the 9th White.

Thanks Yeti- just edited.

Here is a better link with all the colors...

Color Codes

Oh Scott you should have changed the options... I selected the first one because all I saw was GFY Scott... maybe I'll change it to the other option later... as it stands it appears I'm in the minority anyways.

I wanted to pick the first one too because it said that!

Black isn't acceptable as a colour... it was ruled out when discussing in the Colour Committee - due to it's visibility (or lack of) on some maps.

Otherwise - I do like this idea!!!

Purple would be good. The specific color Scott listed seems a little dark. But color #A020F0 on the bottom of page 1 would be awesome.

Awesome idea.

Isn't this just a way to help people like KLOBBER earn more points?

Possibly, but this way the freestyle team game farmers can earn slightly more points each game. Perhaps they will now be able to challenge the 1v1 farmers (torcav, MOBAJOBG, etc.) and the 8-man new recruit farmers (KLOBBER, Herpes, etc.). More fun for all!

It's a way for anyone to earn points- besides I didn't realize Klobber played triples..... not that it would matter if he did. Let's keep Klobber out of this thread please.

Introducing any new game type will be 'casual (team) freestyle' abuse ? It's not the game- it's the players that abuse the game.

I know, but you mentioned people 'having a shot at Conqueror' - right now, apart from a select few, nobody is able to take a shot except all the farmers.

I chose the first option ude to GFY Scott but I love the idea

That's the whole point of introducing a 9 man triples game type... it would definitely inflate team ranks- no?

It will probably make a slight difference, but I doubt it'll be big enough to clear the gap. Apart from that you forgot that if they add 9 man triples, they will add 9 player standard games by default.

I'm not aware of the programming aspects- my idea was to have a triples only format in a 9 man game. I could see how redundant it would be if there were standard games with that many players. In that case, I think it would be a very poor idea.

Team games are useless anyways because strong players can play with cooks, and tell the cook exactly what to do, so that the team's combined score is lower but the higher ranked player does all the work. 3 teams of 3 players is also not a good idea, because we already have 8 player doubles games and 8 player quads games. It will just slow the server down even more to add a 9th player to games.

just one problem a lot of the maps like feudal would be unplayable due to only 8 starting positions
