First off, thanks for the nod toward Missile War 3! Second off, I love the simplified look and the game-play video you've implemented on the home page. With shorter attention spans in the world I feel like quick-gripping pages are a great improvement. Thirdly, I like llrr's idea of attracting more a...

I definitely think adding new flags would generate some excitement. However, most of the flag ideas have already been implemented, what more would really add to the game? And maybe there could be some success with a social media campaign - a lot of online games are so cookie-cutter that this might b...

Looks simple, colorful, and open enough for dodging. Cool.

This has kind of a Secret place vibe. Should be great as FFA too.

Tried it yesterday, can't wait for 10v10 battles
And maybe disable Rogue tanks?

I've heard a few tankers say they weren't fond of the idea of a few stray rogues. That setting may change in the near future.

Oh, and I too look forward to the brawls. Maybe I'll see you there.

An amazing, well thought of map, with a great and professional design.

Gosh, I don't know about professional, but I appreciate the compliment and I'm glad you enjoy the design. I hope we'll get to tank on it together sometime.

Thank you very much! I encourage others to try it out as well. It will be tons of fun with a full crowd.

The map is up and ready to go - looking forward to tanking with all of you.

I would like to thank Constitution for being kind enough to host Missile War 3.

Reminds me of a map hosted on an old 1.0 server called Freedomlives - I like the strategy behind having to jump from one cube to another and having to think about when you do it and how exposed you are in the process. Very nice.

Hello fellow tankers, This old and rusty one has rolled out of the shadows once again to inform you that I've been working on a third installment of Missile War over the past few days. It's practically complete - just needs some tanks rolling around to test it out with me during fierce gameplay. Onc...

AHHHHH! Kierra is captain... AHHH!

Thanks, good reads.

I'd be willing to give it a shot. Babel has been tons of fun in the past. I just worry there might not be enough players on it except at certain times, so the big size might actually make it difficult to get into the action.

If you could pick a certain type or style of map to be made what would you choose? An older style, simple CTF like Dutchrai's Overlord perhaps? Or how about some fancy eye candy like Louman, Spazzy Mcgee, and other great mapmakers have made? Another castle warfare map? Or something totally different...

Hey guys, as you all know the player base is smaller (or at least not as active) as it has been in the past. What could we do to raise awareness about the game and recruit some new blood? :E

Europe continues to dominate. 4-1-1 record. Bummer I missed the most recent one, but sounds like it was close.

You could say that, yes!

So who's pumped for the upcoming Riker Cup?

lax votes 3 too. im representing him

If a player has a vote, they must post it themselves, sry.

As quantum dot said, this is not going to determine the outcome simply by the numbers in this poll. This is indicative, in other words, we are getting the opinion of our league players nothing will be set and stone just because of this poll.

Current Tally (Adjusted for vote changing... some changed from option 2 to option 3, option 3 to option 1, etc.)

Option 1. 31
Option 2. 1
Option 3. 29

It's almost a 50-50 here. Phew!

Strangely enough, I had a similar problem to Rumbler's... once... and no proxies were involved.

Agh, so many people changing votes. Please, consider your vote carefully and then cast it! Good points, all.

Current tally:

Option 1.... 13 votes.
Option 2.....3 votes.
Option 3.....20 votes.

These are my tallies thus far. I'm not sure how to tally the people who say option 4 alone... they need to revote, because 4 is not an option.

Also.. can we get this poll on the gu site somewhere, rather than at bb. The players that can actually be bothered to vote here want 20 min matches, hence the current result which I don't think reflects those in the league. The process of notifying players is still taking place, we will make sure t...
