Nudging down yourself.
Let's say you need to do something, and you're in a public room.. You will have the ability to nudge down yourself.


Discuss. What possible drawbacks this could have?

I like that idea. Some times im about to play and i got to take out the trash, eat, etc.. I dont want to spec then enter because of a long line.

Drawback: Tournies. If you did this, you need it disabled if knockout mode was enabled.

If it's in a tourney, and you're about to go up, you can constantly keep nudging yourself down so you never have to fight. You'll end up in finals. That, or other people will start doing it once they find out you nudged down, and the entire server will end up nudging and nothing will get done.

Hence public servers. Read.
Now doing recoloring for people not in the clan as-well, PM for more info!

Not supported

Is that seriously your reason for not supporting this? lol.

Only in public servers. Also, there should be a certain limit so that it isn't abused.(although I don't see how it would annoy anyone)

If I'm an admin, I can already nudge down myself anyway BTW.

I feel like this "problem" if we're going to call it that has a reasonable enough solution that "fixing it" isn't worth the time investment as fixing or adding much more important things to Toribash.

As many people would infer, like yourself, simply spectating until your back is ALMOST as useful (it doesn't have all the same perks, else you wouldn't have made this thread. Unlike most Suggestions by most people, I know for a fact you're not dumb and you know how... shit in life works).

So... a possible idea to keep in the back of the brain for the future, but I think people would agree that there are some higher priority issues or features that Toribash Development should be cracking on over this one.

In terms of abuseable nature: I don't see anything you could do outside of uncomfortably rushing people who thought they had more time, or antagonizingly target one player in particular. Both of which can be done with essentially the same level of annoyance by just spectating anyway.

It's really just something for when you're in a room with a lot of players. Let's say more than 5. Then, it becomes extremely a useful function in my opinion. If Hampa wants this game to have such a system(waiting in queues), then I don't see why he wouldn't be interesting in this suggestion. It would certainly improve the practicality of it.

Another thing, I doubt this is deserving to be compared with other game-play suggestions. Nudges are already in the game. I'd reckon the developers would just need to think about the conditions and implement an IF function somewhere + server reset. It is probably not that easy, but I doubt I'm requesting something that'll take 1000 hours of programming work.

nudging yourself down while you are last will actually put you first in line :O so if that could be fixed i guess its not that of a bad idea :O

Do you see the point in reading? Or has that never been important for you as well?
