Restart Option for newbies

Post by Vtreka »

Restart option for newbies. They have to be ranked newbie or beginner of course and they can only reset their player within say 2000 turns of starting.

There was the worry about abuse with this option but with the new rules in place if people get caught abusing this system they will get 80 points instead of the 40 points they originally would have gotten for multi'ing alone and will be banned for a month. Plus any anonymous accounts they create will be made unavailable so they can't hide/keep money and build it up over time with several re-starts.


Pv's thoughts maybe not allow them to use Anon accounts.

Make it so you can only deputise or become a gang member once each. So you can't redeputise or become a gang member again after you already do it once.

Is this needed with newbie games starting back up?

I see no need for this if we bring back newbie games.

Yeah this is unneeded if there are going to be newbie games, although I did not know we were going to restart newbie games again

I think it depends to a degree on the flexibility you're going to allow in newbie games (race changing after a certain time period, easier alignment switching?). It's important that if the newbies aren't enjoying themselves that they find a path which they can enjoy. For the most part, though, I agree that it's not necessary.
