Community Vote: What if we were to add back exploding podiums?

[Sir Royal]

People are only voting yes because they haven't seen a *cough* change in MCSG for a long time. See, this is why Hive is winning us over right now, I pity you, Mcsg.

Or maybe because it's a good, fun idea.

I really, really want them to add the exploding podiums permanently!!!

It's an idea that will make me leave. Most of the time it doesn't even kill you, it breaks your sprint at the start, and you will never see 23 enemies every again, because there's always that one newcomer that will step off not knowing this. It may be a fun idea to you, but it isn't a very fun idea when your the one dying at the start. Think about it. It's not a very good idea, and I'm actually surprised Chad considered THIS instead of the rest of the brilliant suggestions on the forums.

Please no! It's bad enough to get punched to death 5 seconds into the round, but more aggravating still to get blown up on the podium. While this was amusing for an April Fools Day joke, it would be a great mistake to add it permanently. The following are my reasons that it should not be implemented.
1: Players who are not members of the forum may be completely confused (I know I was on April 1st before I check the forums).
2: It eliminates people before the game starts. Add that to the amount of people that left because they didn't like the map choice and you'll be wasting server room by starting games with only 12 people.
3: Kind of elaborates on the reason above, this will mean that we have more people at any given time browsing the server list trying to get into a game because they'll be starting half full.
4: The last (and in my opinion the most important) reason, is that most of the people I have seen supporting this are donors and staff. Sure, if they get blown up in a game, they can join a new server. But think of the poor saps that don't have kick privileges. The have maybe tried for 20 minutes to get into this game.

Anyways, please take the time to consider the reasons above. Thanks.

I'll be honest, as much as I liked the feature, I don't think it would be the greatest idea for it to be a permanent mechanic. It could cause a lot a lag for some people, as well as, if it were to sometimes bug, it could propel someone backwards unfairly.

I would say no. Not all new players know about this they are excited for they're first game and then they moved get shot up in the air and died
I would lose interest in a game if it was like this (not saying I am leaving mcsg) just saying it wouldn't be a good idea.

Didn't think about all the new players, maybe with that in mind it's not such a good idea. It's so funny though

Yes it would be funny, for the experienced players, but not so fun for the new players.
