Petition: Create Purple Hearts

deletedover 9 years

Hey guys,

I love EM a lot, but I feel Main Lobby has lately grown sort of stale. This is because of a bunch of reasons I won't get into, but what this has caused is an addiction to simple set ups like Fancy Pants and Coco's that pretty much crowd and spam the lobby wall. If you go to the main lobby page right now, and click back to the past 10 pages, 90% of ranked games that have been played have either been fancy pants, cocos set up, or guns and hookers.

The Problem -----While I recognize that these set ups have their place in the community, and that they are a good for beginners, this fixation on FP and Cocos is bad for the community because it decreases the diversity of set ups played, discourages an environment for trying new things (like trying different set ups or creating your own), and creates a gap between experienced players and new players.

My Proposal Here -----I understand that outright blacklisting these set ups is not the solution, as it would just drive people away or make people stick to unranked games, and is unfair for those who legitimately enjoy FP. Therefore, I propose that a good compromise is to limit red hearts to 10 a day, (renewed by 5 every 24 hours) and to create a third heart system separate from gold hearts and red hearts: purple hearts! (they don't have to be purple lol) These purple hearts would be limited to 10 a day as well, and would pretty much be the same as red hearts. The only difference is, these purple hearts would disallow playing Fancy Pants, Coco's, and all those sorts of set ups. This would allow players to play their regular games of FP and Cocos each day, but then also encourage them to try new set ups in Purple heart games.

I know this idea isn't perfect, but I think it's better than the current system we have now, and wouldn't be that difficult to implement. It would create a 4 step stage from unranked to comp, and would overall help to make a more interesting site. Sign the petition if you agree!

Edit: I'm okay with not slashing the amount of red hearts people can play with. If you see the petition below, it states only to add a third system of hearts that would ban fancy pants and give room for experimentation

If you vote in the poll please sign the petition in support! Thanks! :)))

Well the problem with comp games is that any noob who accumulates 1500 points on fancy pants can join a comp game and be overwhelmed because they have not played anything except FP and maybe some classic or coco's. There is too steep A learning curve for most people.

This is a great idea.

I usually don't get to play Reverse Mafia or Fool Training anymore and those two are pretty much my favourite. Although they're not too far off from FP, they could still be a good replacement. Hoping EM considers this.

Don't you think they'll make a fancy pants proxy and use that with purple hearts? The x2 setups were meant for noobs and we haven't found success with that yet.

ok lets assess this concept through a systematic review approach, in which we evaluate the potentiality of implementing each step of this revolutionizing innovation

step 1: does it require lucid? yes.

ok, good talk

actually a majority of good players left when they merged comp with main because the site meta went to hell

when tiered lobbies were introduced only gold had stale meta because there weren't enough players

Thanks for admitting you have no idea what you're talking about with this post.

Hey don't talk badly about gold lobby. The best games I've played were there. Tables were stacked as heck

Yep and then you go to play elsewhere and everyone sucked because there weren't good players to teach them how to play because all the good players wanted to play with other good players in the gold lobby.

I like it. I suggest keeping red/orange as they are (maybe set reds to 15). Set the purple ceiling to 10, and for incentive make these games give more points for winning. Bonus points even make sense 'cause a lot of people won't be familiar with the setups

And make them black hearts.

You're not being sarcastic? Tiered lobbies sucked and a sweeping majority of good players left the site when they were implemented because the site meta went to hell.

i like that ur being sarcastic but im not its kinda funny

what else is funny is that back with tiered lobbies the competitive scene wasnt dying (except for gold lobby lol)

u know whats a better idea add another heart coloured silver and instead of purple hearts have bronze hearts and then introduce different types of competitions based on the colours of the hearts and maybe separate the lobbies based on heart colours too except the red heart lobby will be called "training" and each lobby will have separate rounds wow gr8 idea
