That's what I've suggested all this while. Adding up extra time for each death in each map. Save you alot of time as organizer and the marshal. This give the flexibility of letting the team to decide, save, or not to save.

Like what ~perverty~ mention is true, you are the last man, the cab is here and tank is running towards you, then you have to start consider liao... Is 3 death penalty is greater than restarting the finale ?? Woh, this rules really turns me on

I kinda agree with this. 4 survivors must enter the safe house at every level. Having to wait for them to spawn is already a penalty in a way. Makes it fair because if not, the dead team members will spawn in the room in the next level which is kinda exploitable.


Maybe also time penalties for every survivor death on every level?

Hmm, Let's say Just 1 sec before a safe house, a tank,boomer,hunter, smoker spawn and WTF Pwn 3 ppl.

The 1st person who enter the room in panic close the door ( Tank Outside safe house + SI + Mob )

Getting 4 survivors into the safe room at every map will not be possible. Usually there is one spawn room near the safe room. What if, there are already 3 survivors left when they reach that safe room and proceeds to rescue the 4th survivor. Right after that, a horde attacks which results in one survivor death. What then? They can't use the same spawn room any more because it is already used, even if you close the door again. So there lies the conundrum ...

Which gives me the impression that adding in penalty time based on player deaths is the way to go. At least this way, the team can formally plan strategise whether or not is it worth it to lose a player for faster time.

here come the trick and team play~
then the team must go another spawn point to get another survivor up thus waste more time~
everybody mention b4 that this game is team based, by suggest this rule, the team will more jaga the 1 with hitam putih screen and stick together instead of chicken running to the safe house...

if giving time penalty, the team can still be solo rambo-ing without worry about their team die

ps: unless penalty 15min per death~~

Added on April 1, 2009, 7:30 pmbtw on blood harvest 3rd level where survivor activate the train to ram the bridge, is it counted as crescendos if the survivorrun run directly to safe house?

coz iknow avoiding horde like the 1 "lowering the crane" level where survivor can jump to the fence to avoid hordes and lower the crane is counted as crescendos .

ooh, cause here i am thinking that crescendo was a thing they called those events when the music sounds and the horde comes to attack you, after you activated a switch. and not the act of skipping the horde after the switch.

In that example given, it is perfectly legal because you have already activated the crescendo and it is running its course naturally. A similar example could also be the map where you have to burn down the barrier and then immediately running through it when the barrier is gone (from burning).

As to someone's question on what kind of penalty is given to deaths. I am thinking a penalty of +1 min per death. What do you think? Too little, too much?

3-5 minutes at least

30 secs

note that not all teams can complete it without dying. even mine pulls off 4 or 5 deaths a campaign. we should take into account new and fresher teams. there shouldn't be such a huge gap between the good teams and the fresh teams. because when a team is wiped and they restart once, that's already 4 deaths. setting it at 2 minutes per death = a penalty of 8 minutes!

if u keep rush without dying is impossible. if u play it safe... alot will survive.

but if u play the original ways, 4 pros probably can finish the game with onli 1 or 2 death or no death.

i did say 5min for the penalty

I think 1-2 minutes per death is sufficient. As we've seen in the ACGC tourney, the difference between winning and losing is literally in the single-digits.

And Hope Valve add a second and ms in the time.

Example : 1 Hour 15 minute 34 second and 34ms...

lol

lol dude, mili secs?
we were wondering why valve did not add in seconds. it would make the organizers work easier as they won't have to think of so many forms of tie breakers.
as for the time, i think 1 minute is good.

There is chance 2 team will have the same time lol...(sikit maybe)

Team A = 14 min 23 sec
Team B = 14 min 23 sec

ROFL !

what if they have equal milisecs too?

Team A = 14 min 23 sec 12 ms
Team B = 14 min 23 sec 12 ms

still same

Heh this time we are thinking of taking the Friendly fire total as well. That would make a definite tie breaker.

tak pening ke refree record so many things?
