You'll keep pro chest access even though your rankings were reset

Yay!!! :D

[Mr. Sun]

Hello, I have a report.
A hacker called GhostDon flew to our flag and grabbed it, then he flew through the wall and captured our flag.
Pls ban his IP.

It says that I am a suspected ban evader. And im not? (Number_Sixty_Four)

[Lord_Narkissos]

I know the date for the reset, but at what time will the reset be?

[Lord_Narkissos]

At what time is the reset?

[NIX]

Why is the match over after capture one flag?
Shouldn't the rule be changed to a 15-minute time limit and the match ends when capture three flags?
It is ridiculous that the match ends in one minute when there is a two-minute build time.

[Lord_Narkissos]

I am quitting CTF. Here are the reasons why:
-The score system (for the flag caps) sucks, being only 9 for a flag attempt instead of 30; 12 for a cap instead of 75+.
-It's laggy as CRAP.
-I just lost my place in the leaderboard because of the cap score.
-The physics are slow as CRAP, even though it is supposed to be "fast-paced."

I think it's mainly because of the score system incentivizing flag capture over actual play, combined with the fact that teams are made up of random players, who aren't always very focused on defending their flag. I'm working on fixing the score system so that match lengths are naturally more reasonable.

As to the score system and leaderboard: The month following the ranking reset is dedicated to testing out new scoring systems, and ranks will be rolled back at the end of the month when testing ends. Due to this nobody on the leaderboard is really there until after the rollback happens, and changes made aren't final

Rollback?

[Lone_Wolf]

Rollback?

Reset to a point in time before I started testing scores, but without rewards for where you placed.

Originally it was going to be reset to 0, like it says in the news:

Code: Select all

## Post-Reset Testing Is Underway
- Scores may get reset to 0 as new score rewards/ranking code is tested
- Testing will stop at most a month after the reset

CTF Tournament #1

Tournament dates are decided (Although RL could still cause me to delay it).

There will be two tournaments, both hosted US-E. One will be earlier than the other, so that EU players don't have to stay up as late.
You may join both as long as you can show up. Your worst placement of the two will be ignored when giving out rewards, so people can't hog rewards by placing top 3 in both.

• EU Tournament | (Dates listed on website)

We play for ~2 hours, with a little overtime if needed. If the tournament hasn't ended by then we play again at the same time on the next day

[Lord_Narkissos]

Can we schedule for Sunday? I am not on Saturday (during the day)....

[Lone_Wolf]

Thanks to everyone who participated in/watched the tournament! It was a lot of fun.

I've uploaded the matches I remembered to record to https://ctf.rubenwardy.com/video/.
If people want to take parts and use them in their own videos they're welcome to. It would be neat to see compilations of cool moments, or strategy breakdowns.
The files are named based on what teams are playing in them, with `_win` indicating it was the final match of a tournament.

It'll probably be a few months or more until the next tournament, there were a few bugs I'll need to fix, and things to improve. I also don't plan to do more than 4 a year. The tournament code is public though, so if you can get it working feel free to run community tournaments.

CTF is a fastpaced game and this should represent that aspect.

Correction: It WAS fast-paced. Now, LandarVargan slowed the pace down by 150%.

[Mr. Sun]

Today we find a hacker called KiwiKu, he tp and flying when play. Pls ban him/her.

Well I think your score from killing is too much! Do you really need capture score? just 5 score for winner's teammates!
PS: why I target you in server? because you're too good and you carried a shotgun
