Game Series'

[NormalGuy]

Hey there,

I had a thought last night. I was wishing there was a way to "re-do" one of my games. This lead me to the following thought:

Why can't we have an option where players sign up for a "series" of games to be played with the same players on the same maps and have Conquer Club do this automatically. A twist on this, keep the drops the same each game as well.

I think that this would make for some interesting scenarios where players could reconsider their strategies, make up for unlucky dice, etc.

I know that this would be a tough implementation (especially for silvers), but I'm a silver and I would sign up for one of these.

seems like a very strange idea

I like it.

Its an interesting concept for sure. It would make it easier to do tournament series games if you could pick either to randomize or not randomize the following drops.

Hey there,
A twist on this, keep the drops the same each game as well.

I love the idea of multiple games with the same drop -- either with the same players, rotated positions or different players, much like duplicate bridge.

Been suggested before like infinity times already.

Been suggested before like infinity times already.

Where? I looked around and didn't find anything.

[NormalGuy]

Any other thoughts on this idea? I guess it will just die away, but I still like it

Appears there isn't any support. If no support is gathered within 48 hours, i shall move it to Rejected.

Even though i like the idea

WTF?

If you had spent much time in this forum at all, you'd know that EVERY idea will die like this, unless it is viewed as almost "necessary" during the time when it is suggested by the public or had so many flaws that people kept coming in to put them out.

Go look around through the threads in this forum. You'll find that over 50% of them are ones where someone suggests something, several people agree, and there is nothing more to say for the next posters (because having 20 posts in a row that say "I agree" is pointless).

If you're going to take on such a policy and not be a hypocrite, you'd have to move 50 pages worth of threads into the rejected bin. Which is not even what that bin is F***ing made for. This suggestion has not been rejected, in fact, not one person has yet to say that he/she dislikes the idea.

P.S. looking through the rejected forum might not be a bad idea either. Have you noticed how every suggestion that is in there has been explicitly stated as not happening by an admin, or is a duplicate of such a suggestion? Maybe there's a pattern going on there...

I support this. I don't really have anything else to say, just posting to keep it from being rejected.

Does it really matter? So i don't move it, and it just becomes like one of the thousands of suggestions near the back. Oh lordy. It's as good there as it is in the rejected sub-forum. People don't respond? Maybe because they don't like it. Don't want to see it, so why say "I don't like it"?

[AgentSmith88]

Would rarely ever play this, but I hate adjacent too. It just drags games out. I hope they don't implement it just for more medals.

The difference is that half the purpose of having a forum for "rejected" ideas rather than "dead" ideas is that when someone makes a new post, they can quickly look and see if the admins have already said that this can't work. Have you noticed that when someone makes a suggestion that is already in the rejected forum that several people come by and say "Do a search, it is rejected." Would be lovely if this starts happening because at some point in time, some random person couldn't get enough people to comment.

Far from it. Make a suggestion that sucks. Just outright sucks. You're easily going to have several pages worth of people explaining to you why it is a bad idea. Make a suggestion that has some problems in it. You're also going to find many people to come and explain to you how to fix them. I guarantee it.

I've spent most of my time in the forums in this one. Eventually I learned that whenever I make a suggestion, I add in some random terrible feature to it at the end. After I started doing this, responses nearly tripled. It is really horrible that this forum works this way, but in all my time here, I've not found any thread with a really good idea capable of staying on the first page for extended periods of time, but many crappy suggestions hanging up there for weeks.

Well, the Suggestions team will be doing work in here in the next few weeks, so i wouldn't have ended up moving it anyways. Hey, you even could have said something along the lines of "I really like this idea, would you be so kind as to not moving it?" Instead of flying off the bar?
