Perfect! I think you should also get points for killing some1 with the intel. Why?! Well it's a big risk and really rewarding!

I explained in the post that you'd only get points for decreasing the distance between you (the intel carrier) and your CP. But I just thought of something and if I may, I will rephrase something from my previous post:

"I. ... ... ... If you get farther away will lose points (at the same rate)."*

There, I think that makes sense. So a player can't troll and take the intel like 9/10 of the way to their CP, then bring it all the way back to its origin and keep the points they got for getting it so close.

I edited that same previous post at the bottom and people should read that part :P

Yeah that is a good idea. The only thing is if some1 had a really good hiding place they could get thousands of points!!

This idea would make capturing the intel very inefficient, and harder than it already is (and the difficulty of obtaining it is dependent on the effectiveness of the enemy team).

I say this because when you think about it, it's like only one person is compatible with the intel once they've carried it that far away from its origin. So like, the same guy would have to chug it back and forth to the intel constantly. And if he just kept dying because the enemy team set up a good defense around where the intel was dropped by this guy, it'd take WAY longer to successfully capture the intel and is pretty much unecessary.

I did see Mother!'s post on page 1 of this topic and it inspired me to come up with this idea for these so-called "intel stealers:"

I. The longer one has the intel, as long as they're decreasing the distance between them and their CP, they'll get points at a constant rate (maybe like 1 point per 10 blocks, or a system to split the distance between the origin of the enemy intel & your CP into tenths so you get 1 point/tenth traveled). If you get farther away, you don't earn points, but you won't lose points.

II. If you're getting closer and then you stop and/or increase the distance between you and the CP, you won't be able to get more points than you should: if I've got the intel and I'm hauling ass back to base, but I stop and go back ten blocks, then I continue towards my CP, I won't get an extra one point. I'll get as many points as I SHOULD (this is to prevent point farming/abuse of this feature).

III. If you die while you've got the intel and have earned points for carrying it, you keep those points. You are still able to pick it up where you left it off and get the rest of the points for carrying the intel. Based on this system, if you take it 8/10 of the way to your CP, and some guy comes and picks it up and captures it, that guy will only get 2/10 of the total points.

I think that seems pretty fair, don't you? Then again, this might be hard to code, but I can't say much for that because I'm no programmer and I don't know much about the engine's capabilities in general.

EDIT: I agree with Mother! when he said at the bottom of his post that there should be something about the intel that makes teamwork and capping that magic suitcase a higher priority than an individual's total number of kills. Another thing that could be crazy easy to do (but would potentially piss off a LOT of people) is just remove points for anything. So therefore, kills don't really matter and the only number that you should be concerned about is the number of your team's successful intel captures. I, personally, would prefer this solution but I'm expecting a lot of flak for the idea.

I always do that. When I believe my team mate really did all the work, I go to the base, die, and have them pick it up :P I hate it when you ask for it knowing you did all the credit and they well are @$$3$!

@TB - Yeah, whenever someone drops their intel near base who's been running for like a few minutes with it, I take it and I give it back to them. People do that to me too sometimes, but most of the time they don't. That's being a good sport :)

Lol ^True. That help wasn't wanted/needed though. Anyways atleast we won <_<

well, you play as a team, it's a teameffort to get the intel...
be glad that you got help :)

LOL!! I hate it!!!! The intel is literally on the cp sometimes <.< Including when you die and your in a squad ALL THE WAY across the map <_<

@tb
i alwase do that :D

Yeah that's what happened to me, ALOT! I had the intel was right on the cp then some1 on the bridge, on goony, killed me. Unfortunately the builder fag took it :'(

TB:
yeah once, someone else did that for me too, what a nice guy

One time i sneaked to the intel on classic map, managed to run pretty far with it, and some green guy was near our base and killed me. a team mate took the intel walked towards me, and sucided. so i could capture the intel.

how awesome isn't that?

Btw, you should work on your grammar ;)

I was suggesting that if you can't get to the intel on the ground... you can get there other ways.

Lol I said "phycic-airsit" at first :P

LOL i googled it and it was spelled right LMFAO

Lol really?! Whats his cell?!

That was a terrible typo lol :P

^ You know my uncle is a psychiatrist ( or however you spell it ) I can hook you up with some private free sessions -.- :P

LOL! Yeah i do that :P My exact words today "U FUCKEN ASS THAT WAS MINE. I SAID DONT TAKE IT AND YOU TAKE IT. I WAS RIGHT THERE BITCH! IDC IT WAS MINE I LOST 10 KILLS CAUSE OF U!!!!"

Get over it i know its a pain the ass but dont whine about... I learned that the hard way just do this if the server uses psyspades

/pm >name of the fag here< > here all the cuss word you cant think off and everything else terrible<

What about assists? Could have a system where Person A manages to die carrying the intel, and Person B caps it, A gets 4 points, B gets 6 points.

Just pulling numbers out of my ass, put your own spin on this idea. I'd rather the points be split if it's this much of a problem.

No, stop playing with shitty TDM mods.

Lol. Like I said if your in their base. The intel there and no one is going for it. Get it. If some1 were to cary that almost all through the map and you walked ten blocks with it. Thats messed. (No offense to you or any1 :P)

hey just be like guys lemme capture the intell 90% of the time they are like okay bro

Lol Mother, you actually get 10 kills and 1 point for capturing intel :P

Eh, that would be kinda annoying and difficult for alot of people. Maybe if it was a mod/mode for pyspades. Other than that I dont want that to happen :P

Terrible. Murders cooperative gameplay and intel capture. You don't get extra points for intel caps, it's all about the team getting it. Irregardless of who actually made the cap.

If points for capturing intel are eventually added, perhaps there could be a system where everyone that touched it from the point of grab to capture gets some amount of points.

Perhaps whatever number of points that would be awarded is divided amongst all players that touched it. Or more awarded for the initial grab, and the cap.

Theoretical:
100 points total rewarded for intel cap.

Initial grab: 35%

Anyone who carries it in between: 30% (divided evenly into # of players carried it)

Final Cap: 35%

Situation 1:
I make the initial grab, and die. Three people touch it and die. I grab it again and make the capture.

I get 70% of the points for the initial grab and capture. The three people that touched it each get 10% of the points.

Situation 2: Someone makes the initial grab, then dies. I pick it up and carry it all the way to a capture.

1st person gets 35% of the points for the inital grab. I get 65% of the points for the rest of the carry and capture.

Ideas ideas.
Or just fuck points and somehow make Intel caps more valuable, to shift the focus of the game away from kills and more towards cooperative Intel capture. Hell, don't show # of kills. That would be interesting.

Lol, to me having a challenge is pretty fun. When you get that intel it feels good. I didn't switch because the other team had many great players, DARN U STACK ;D, and well, it was full :P
