guys...you have to remember...this isn't Arena...it is DM. Deathmatch has different playability than Arena which is why it has it's fans
and haters. One thing you CAN do in DM is utilize the shape and placement of the bumpers and get those triples and doubles. If you
toss 2 people in DM...it has just lost it's unique quality and becomes just arena. When i proposed a DM tourney last year, i just figured we'd
have 2 matches with half of all the entrants in each match. If we had 20 peeps sign up. Then 10 would randomly be picked for match 1 and the other
10 get match 2. Let em duke it out in 30 minutes and at the end, you pick the top 5 in each of the 2 matches and have a final match with the remaining 10. THen you have your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners.
Why is everyone so worried about 'spammers'. That's what people do in DM. The only ones you have to be angry with are the ones who sit behind
the spawn point and decap people when they materialize there. That's the ONLY illegal move in DM.
Stop trying to make this an arena tourney and let it be what it is....Deathmatch. Don't start handicaping everyone with new DM rules. Then it stops being fun and starts being a pain in the ass. Heck, what's next....making low pingers use fakelag to make them equal to the higher pingers?
