Scaids

This mode kind of became less popular as the game NS began to build in popularity, it being a much more reasonable, but still heavily team based, game. It could just be a coincidence, but I imagine that's why. Also teamwork in general has always been hard to come by.

In this case I was hoping to try it without any mods installed first for this very reason. As far as building a valuable player base, that wasn't really the intention. I was hoping to get people that we already play with, as they could (Again, blindly assuming) be trusted to follow the rules of the game mode without mods installed. I was hoping to circumvent that in a similar way to the normal scrim nights, via picking and self regulation. I see a community that can easily be trusted with that, which is really, pretty dang awesome. This is something I thought a lot about, especially considering how crazy annoying it would be to get the civilian to the end, only just to have a crazy good sniper pick him off. (I'm looking at you Lumpy! If you even read these things!) I am actually unsure of how the game balance would go, in one frame of mind the attacking team gets medics which COULD overheal the civilian to a bit more life, but a sniper's headshot still ends it all. Again, pretty much every detail is up for debate. Ultimately if it is decided that we don't do it, I'm pretty cool with that. It IS your server and I'm not even gonna try to force you to do anything with it, since its a privilege that I get to play on them to begin with. You do bring some genuine concerns, but hey, that's why I decided to start a thread for discussion of it. I got nothing. Earlier today it was showing normal (about thirty minutes ago) and now its back to being reversed again.

Edit again: also, is it just me, or does this thread go backwards? page 1 is the newest posts and page 7xx is the oldest post?
