delayed log seems to me to defeat one of the key 2 purposes of YT which is to alert people of a rumble in the jungle and enhance the action.

Heartbrand hit the nail on the head. How about you ask wgy people DONT want it?


I cant think of one damn reason.

Well for one it takes the strategy out of anything if the server instantly knows where people are when they die. What's the point of /anon?

Most of the people want it for recognition I would think, which a delayed log would still accomplish.

More PVP is a good thing on a server desperately in need of PVP.

For leaderboard purposes: How should kills be tracked? Anyone involved/assists gets kills+1? Deathblows would leave tanks and healers at a disadvantage I'd think.

Reasons I Want YT

1) Makes the server feel more alive. Seeing YT shows you that hey, things are actually going on, the server isn't some boring grind fest of a graveyard.

2) bragging rights

3) cuts down on forum spam and the whole "i keeled u 10x" "no u didnt lier lulz" bs cuz YT is pretty indisputable

4) talking points in OOC that again give you something to do and read and laugh about when you're killing a_froglok_10000000000

5) helps prevent repetitive bind-camping

6) brings others to the scene of the YT increasing PVP

Well, thats assumed by the player of that class, that hes not going to get 100 killshots in a month. Dont spoil it for the rest of the classes. Add killshots to the leaderboard. Theres alot of stuff from LoZ thats actually not classic at all but very cool. Like after you get 5 kills it shouts that as well, and a different shout for 5 kills in a row, and it goes up to like 100. So you can see how many times people have died without even having to look on the boards. And you can see whos good and who isnt, by just looking at thier kill to death ratio. Nobody is going to laugh at a cleric w 5 kills and 20 deaths. But, someone will awe at a cleric who has 2 deaths and 20 pvp kills.

Theres ways to manipulate kill shots, like gank groups that just hunt lower chars in range and have the cleric take the killshot to look like a pimp. But those players will get recognized and laughed at themselves. So it really doesnt matter.

Just a side note, one of the only arguments I've ever heard against YT is it increases "griefing," which seems to be defined as PKing anyone and everyone. I didn't notice any more hostility from random people on LoZ than I did here on p99 back when there was actually a sizable pop playing. /shrug

When Rogean is present he has decent ideas. I favor leader board over YT but don't really care either way. What I care about is a big enough population.

If Rogean is really motivated to get some things done, he should make a post himself. I looked over this thread 10 times thinking it was random_tard_01 arguing with random_tard_02 until finally reading the reference to it pages deep into the news thread.

For assists maybe give them .5 .
