Abuse-Free Sponsors (Objecting the No-No List)

[JonathanKennant]

The No-No list. It prohibits sponsors, due to abuse. I have thought of a plan, that would help prevent abuse of Sponsors. People use their own points, to sponsor others. This would help stop abuse for those leaderboard crazed players. For example:

Jon has 200 points
Jamie is a competitior

Jon can buy things like food, swords, and armor. Lets say armor costs 200 points per piece. Jon really wants Jamie to win, so he spends his 200 points for the armor, and his point value is set to 0. Prices would be very expensive, to help simulate The Hunger games, and to prevent abuse. I feel that this method of sponsors would be OK. It would give an extra Value to points. Please at least consider it.


Thank You,

Possible Improvement Log

- Half Points for sponsored items (SollyHol)

Forgetful Moment: Forgot to mention, the better the item, the higher the cost (Thanks Solly)

That, in my opinion, still takes away from the fun. There is a reason so many people die at the cornucopia when it refills..... if people knew that you could get armor wihtout risking their life wouldnt they do that? If your friend is a really high rank too he can spend points on one guy at practically no cost to himself. A good motto for the survival games is survival of the fittest...... the best person wins, not the person with the best friends.....

The idea seems cool. It should be the better the item the higher the price. E.G. A diamond sword will cost maybe 1000-2000 points because it is a good item.

one sponsorship allowed every 24hours solves any teaming problems js

 

[JonathanKennant]

Solly, I agree, forgot to mention that in my initial idea.

 

[HalfSquirrel]

I prefer my idea over yours (no offence) because I like my points and would never want to use them. However, my idea is still fair and is not against the No No Suggestions. Here is a link to the post:

I just like the general idea better, but if mine can't be implemented, then I would love for yours to be But the costs for items will probably have to get higher as the game goes on and more tributes die (if possible)

 

[Sollyhol]

Maybe, it would be possible to get no or a reduced amount of points if you get a kill with a sponsored item? I'm just brainstorming

 

[HalfSquirrel]

That's not a bad idea actually Maybe the point gain is split in half if killed with sponsored weapon (if of course we allow sponsor gained weapons).

 

[JonathanKennant]

I hope somebody actually looks at this, some pretty good brainstorms. I agree with the half point bit as well. Going to make an update/edit log

Chests are the sponsors. Any way someone gets items that is not accessible to other players, is not a good idea in my opinion. It should just be an equal opportunity playing field without factors coming from outside sources.

 

[JonathanKennant]

It would be open to other players, and even possibly made so we can hear the tributes and their needs
