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! :)))

Or I am doing it because I think I'm right and I wanted to show you why you were wrong

You haven't shown me anything. All you're doing is pushing your opinions on me.

I believe that is what a debate is, yes? It's not my fault if you don't pick up anything I am saying.

I'm picking up what you're saying lmfao. It's called having different opinions.

I'm saying why not try.

You're saying it's not worth it so let's not bother to discuss it period.

What is your definition of a debate if it isn't "shoving your opinions down each other's throats?"

Debate: noun
1.

rutab man, I think you should focus on your senior year of high school. It's a lot more important than arguing with someone else about something that you already admitted would never happen.

Today is Sunday and I work in about 2 hours, why can't I have my internet fun??

Not a very good poll when you don't exactly have a "no" option, is it?

Also I hate to rain on your parade here, but also this will never be added because it requires coding and lucid has a lot more important things to do than to add something like this.

Then I guess it's a waste of your time to be arguing with me then, and you're just doing it to be a nay-sayer.

If red hearts are kept the same and purple hearts are added that's a whole lot of games to fill and not enough people to fill them with.

Its gonna be yet another distinction. Red heart players. Purple heart players. Gold heart players. Its hard enough to fill gold hearts its not ideal to put in another "" level"" or whatever

We'll never know if we try it. We're just shooting in the dark at the moment. There's no harm in trying something new.

People wanna play different things. Limiting them isn't good BC otherwise they won't play at all o_o if anything this idea will decrease activity

it's not changing anything that's already in place....

yeah it is. What are red heart players gonna do with 10 purple hearts when they run out?

well right now they play comp games when they run out of red hearts, so whats different about a different set of hearts?

make the "purple" or w/e colored hearts the ones for the double point setups, or something.

BC in the end of the day they're happy with JUST playing reds. Why the heck would u wanna take that away in the first place

nothing.

away.

If you actually read anything before this page, his whole idea was taking away half of the red hearts and replacing them with purple hearts.

and plus im okay with not slashing the red hearts. I just think we should try the purple hearts. there's no harm in trying at all.

You're right, there is no harm in adding purple hearts by themselves. I guarantee that no one would play them though, because, again, people only play FP because they want to. If they play all 20 hearts on FP, then that is probably all they'll play, because that is all they do play. It is totally unnecessary.

There's no harm in trying. I don't get why you're so aggressively against trying something new when the worst that could come out of it is we realize it wasn't successful.

If you think the community is so fragile to the point that trying something new like this would threaten it, maybe it IS time to try something new...

I've been playing a lot more comp games, and many times new players stumble in and say how they don't know how to play and they just joined because they ran out of red hearts.

People may be just happy with red hearts, but not a lot are happy with the games people use for red hearts.
