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! :)))

Also, I really don't understand why you're pushing for this if four of your top five setups are Fancy Pants, Coco's Epic Setup, Classic Mafia, and Guns and Hookers, in that order. Plus, you recently just played Fancy Pants.

Technically this is still blacklisting the setups, just not all the time. If people don't want to play harder setups, then don't force them to. They're all just here to have fun like we are, and if you ban them from playing the setups they like, we're still driving them away. Maybe they're content playing Coco's Epic Setup, or Fancy Pants. Maybe everyone else is being stubborn about them playing what they want to. Everything is fine as it is and we shouldn't be doing anything that will force them to learn something they don't want to learn.

People like Fancy Pants and Coco's Epic Setup because it's easy and quick. A lot of people do not like to learn the harder setups because they take a long time and think it's a lot more complicated than the setups they normally play. I don't see any reason to block them from playing the setups as long as they meet the guidelines to not be blacklisted.

They all just wanna have fun, like us.

Blue hearts please!!

I agree with this. It makes the transition from ranked to competitive much easier since ranked isn't that challenging with all the FP being played.

Lol idk how I didn't see the petition XD.

Also they should be Orange because red and yellow makes orange.

I did purple for the color scheme. Think it works better.

However orange or any other color is fine. I just want a third hearts system

tl;dr version: main lobby is swamped in games of fancy pants and cocos and it makes the site stale. Blacklisting those set ups isn't the solution. We should limit red hearts to 10 a day, and create purple hearts that would be similar to red hearts, but ban fancy pants and cocos.
