Before people decide to request change due to their personal opinion, maybe they should follow the rules that are already in affect?
- Playing overly defensive, Circling around walls/Constantly staying near a bridge/house etc, isn't GM.
I know it's been a long time since I have been in amapk and I'm even still getting back into the flow of it, but this rule has ALWAYS been in effect even back in 1.09 which was the last time I was in any ladder. This rule back then was grounds for expulsion from the ladder and being told to come back when you learned how to duel. Now, it would seem, it's not even enforced (along with pretty much every other rule). On this note, I would like further information on what the consequences are for breaking this rule (if there are any..).
- Halting the duel to buy more arrows is allowed if agreed upon.
^WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS RULE IF PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO STOCK ARROWS TO GET AROUND IT.
It was always considered that if you need more than 1 pouch of arrows, you need to learn how to aim. This rule was always important because it prevented people who just l8z and spam igas. Stocking arrows affects this rule and thus should be applied as such. Iga at the risk of wasting what precious arrows you have. If you don't know how to aim with a bow, then why bother using one? HELLO this even applies in real life with a bow.
An unspoken rule that clearly needs to be stated: GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP IS A PART OF GM PVP
^Always has been
There are people that do nothing but complain the entire time about EVERYTHING that isn't against the rules and NEVER has been i.e the use of decoy and valk. Saying "WTF", "BS", "OMG", or just flipping out after dying, especially without merit, is also considered unsportsmanlike.
During my duel with #4, after chasing him around a box for almost an hour, I no longer cared. It was 4am when we started and I had plenty of things to do this morning. I didn't have the time nor patience for someone to ridiculously l8z the entire time pretty much right off the bat. I usually do, so I blame myself. But, if you're gonna run around a box and spam arrows around the corner waiting for someone to idiotically run into them and then complain that you have no arrows left, you seriously need to re-evaluate the way you play. (It's your fault you run out of arrows and you do so while BMing anyway)
Yes, my c/t is very well developed. I get accused for aa all of the time and I guess I should be proud of it.
^If people spent their time practicing their aim instead of complaining and/or l8zing/relying on spamming, I feel it would be just as good, possibly better.
If things persist the way they have been, I suppose I will just adapt to the partial BM amapk ladder that this is and I guarantee it won't be pretty. You complain about me now when I'm fully gm.. pfft good luck if I do the same thing that most of you do.
On a side note:
I dislike petty drama therefore don't mean to call anyone out because these people know who they are, and my apologies to #4 for doing so. I also apologize for taking up so much space with this post, but this has been long overdue for me to say.
I agree with the l8z thing. there really is no good way to judge whether someones playing overly defensive unless a med is watching the duel and following u around. and even then there really are no consequences. too many ppl on this ladder do have a defensive style of gameplay and i agree it is annoying, iso some opinions on how to enforce a l8z rule.
halting to buy arrows - unless both ppl agree on this, it isnt allowed(as stated i nthe rules). i think that this rule should apply when it comes to stocking arrows too. i think you should only be allowed to stock 1 quiver of arrows outside of town, unless the two people dueling agree that they can stock the 10x+ it seems has become the custom. 700 arrows (the 350 u start with and the 1x quiver u have waiting) should be more than enough. i think this would also help on the l8z rule, ppl cant play l8z and spam iga all day if they have limited arrows.

tue. But relying on a maxed out decoy is just as bad as hiding. Which also wastes our arrows, thus negates pretty much everything you've said. C/t and decoy IMO are just lame ways to "cheat" your way to a win. Untop of SB. You dont l8z, but all this is just as bad. But thats just my opinion
c/t take more skill than multi, and i wouldnt go banning multi, so theres really no problem with c/t. if its so cheap and easy to do then everyone would. maxing decoy only allows it to take like 1 more arrow than a 1 point decoy and maxing it also means u have to take 19 skill points away from somewhere else. using it alot or "Abusing" it seems kinda gay but at the same time they have to pause and stop shooting arrows to cast it, so if u multi ull likely kill the decoy and hit him. theres never been rules against valk/decoy so we really cant create any now.
