Bump.

Read stickies before you post...

First thing on the list.


Edit: Okay sorry, I didn't read it all the way through before posting, but really, that system is too complicated and confusing.

All plugins and things are confusing. I don't find this that confusing, it's just you get the prize of sponsorship for winning.

I find two problems with this:

1) On some servers the winner very rarely dies (due to being so good at the game and all). So if they won the first round and got the apples next time they become a spectator... who's to say when they will actually be a spectator next?

2) Allowing only one individual to choose who to sponsor will bias the server to helping their friends. I don't think that's a good thing, as teams already have great advantages over solo players.

I would prefer a more randomized version of this. Every round, perhaps first person to become spectator gets some items to distribute out, as well as [nth] tribute to join after that.

The point is that they are good, so they deserve to help other people become good. I win quite often, and I become a spectator quite often. I rarely find someone who wins EVERY game.

One individual chooses who THEY sponsor, not who EVERYONE sponsors.

If the first spectator got it, it would probably someone who doesn't have the right idea of who to give it to. I know lots of people who win don't either, but I think it's just more fair like that.
