This kind of cuts into my master strategy. I'm a bit biased, so I'll keep my opinion out of it, but surviving 15 minutes is usually pretty boring and if you are strict on the -mystats before the end of matches will punish players that might afk doing it. |

Omni: Since Bob is winning using Speaker, I would say you should totally delete this occupation before he runs away with the score. (just jking) 
But seriously, it is an over-powered class that levels up and gets insane bonus points at a rapid pace. If one were to just use the primary Speaker ability of surviving 3 games per day without getting killed (about an hour's worth of a skilled or sneaky player's time), they could win a season without doing anything else. Since I am currently trying to give Bob a run for his money, I think I am going to stick with this Occupation until the end of Season 3, due to its rank point earning power. I do think it needs to be toned down, but not until after Season 3, otherwise there is no conceivable way I or any other player will even come close to catching up with Bob, unless of course he stops playing for a few days. And considering just how cool Bob is, not to mention all his hard work of staying alive an entire game in relative boredom, he deserves a shot at the Season 3 victory (although I won't make it easy for him). 
Some ideas to tone down the Speaker (after Season 3, hopefully):
-Cap the level at 5 and keep the primary ability at 3 uses/day
-Cap the level at 10 and keep the primary ability at 1 use/day
Of course you could still put a level cap on it now, say 10 or 15 until Season 3 is over.
While I'm on Speaker, will we get docked for typing -mystats in the lobby right after a game ends? Because I was distracted by my girlfriend Saturday afternoon while I was playing and had to type it 1 out of 3 games after the match had already ended. The other 2 games I typed it about 10 seconds before the match ended.
I was a little confused on which way was proper, or if it didn't matter.
Thanks;
Omnicide out

You have to type it before the match ends... He let them slide for yesterday's log, but won't any longer... Have to still be in the match. |

| Unless Metatron-X has changed occupation and I didn't know about it, Knights can't bet. Rankings page shows he has 5000 in bets. |

Don't forget to go back over the Occupations. I buffed some of them that weren't getting any love in Season 3.

Sorry for the late response. The values seem to be working fine; haven't seen any complaints from the other players and 50% splash/friendly-fire helps survivability a little longer than usual.

Coolant, please give 100 of my rank points at the start of Season 4 to WyrmsFire for guessing the truename of 'The JOKER' at the Theme Park Halloween Bash.
Please confirm this so that Wyrm knows that I kept up my end of the deal. Thanks.

I'm curious to know what every1 is thinking about the new map rotation. Ive been changing it around cause figure players get tired of playing the same 'ol maps. I also want your honest opinion on keeping my custom maps in the cycle.

In an effort to boost Solaris and Planetary play making these changes:
Solaris - If no one responds to a -solaris challenge that player wins a match by default.
Planetary - All points earned in the Ranking System are now eligible to put toward Planetary. You may type -planetary at any time AND ON THE SAME LINE put the amount of points you want to put toward a Resource, then type the resource like normal, e.g. -center or -manufacture. I realize that Katie will respond that she doesn't understand the command for -planetary (value), but that's ok, she'll get over it. Here is a BIG IF though...you can put any amount you want after -planetary but if it is more than you earned for the day you will be penalized 1000 Rank Points and YES it is possible to go into the negative, and you will put NONE into Planetary if you put an amount over what you earned for the day.
If you get the Kill/SK message use -planetary as normal.
----
I think I figured out why the server has been restarting often. The bots are set for lvl 8 all the time and yet I can see by the Monitor that it is trying to put bots in that are other levels. So, I am making the bots be any level between 0-9...

that paragraph on Planetary should read *Now instead of *Not. All Rank Points can be used toward Planetary *Now.

New maps are always good; everyone gets use to the same maps so you gotta mix it up on them (and me). Your custom maps are always fun, but the busier they are the worse I do because I'm too busy horsing around looking at stuff...
