    I've been seeing a lot of gamemode suggestions that will not work in any way for MC-War.
    Why?

    Asymmetrical modes.

    Here are a few examples I gathered.

    https://www.brawl.com/threads/5499/
    https://www.brawl.com/threads/5360/
    https://www.brawl.com/threads/3270/
    https://www.brawl.com/threads/5086/

    What do they all have in common?
    They all have players in different roles.

    Why's that bad, you ask?
    Because then everybody wants that one special role.
    And what happens if they don't get it?
    Think for a moment. Server full of 10-12 year olds. They don't get what they want.
    That's right.
    They leave the game, which breaks the balance of the gamemode (usually 1vAll).

    Simply put, asymmetrical gamemodes will not work in MC-War.
    Especially not with this entitled player base.

    You might have noticed I didn't put the Payload suggestion in there.
    Well, that's one balanced asymmetrical gamemode.
    Even then, we could just make it Payload Race and have two teams pushing carts.
    That would make it balanced, and have everyone in the same role.

    My point?
    Stop making suggestions that pit 1-4 players against the rest of the server.
    It won't work with this playerbase.
    As soon as they don't get the special role, they'll leave.
    It simply won't work.

    So please stop.

    (Also, just because it isn't CoD-like doesn't mean it's not a good idea. For ****'s sake guys, haven't you noticed this server isn't exactly like CoD?)

    Or even worse, for all the gamemodes where you need to kill a certain person, that person would just camp in the back and not get hit. If they try to actually play the game, they just get yelled at for putting their self in harm's way.

    I didn't start playing this when I was 16 and I'm only played this for like 1-2 months I think, but I never played CoD till like 13.
    So thank god we both didn't turn into one of those kids.

    These threads all do have something in common: they are all just suggestions. Just ideas that people think might be kind of cool. We don't really need to be making that big of a deal because there are certain ideas we don't agree with but just say, "I don't think it will work that well" or something similar on the original thread and go on with our lives. This thread is unnecessary in my opinion.

    And this thread is a discussion.
    Therefore, it is not unnecessary.
    If you really thought it wasn't necessary, you wouldn't have replied.
    Obviously, you deem it important enough to write a response to it.

    I disagree. We need new gamemodes, if the 10-12 year old people don't understand anything, it's becuse they don't read the info. Their own fault.
    I was first 13 when I joined here, and I understanded the server in an hour.

    I am proven wrong I guess? I just don't think a thread for criticizing others' ideas is necessary.

    This thread has nothing to do with "not understanding the gamemode." It's about how kids who don't get the juggernaught (or whatever the mode calls it) will ragequit. I already see people who get angry over not being starter zombie.

    OT: Nice guideline thread, this should clear out some of the bad ideas, although, if staff applications are any indication, this won't really do much.
