Pawn Game

I am an honest pawngamer! I am in trouble. Those familiar with StickArena will understand. Pawn game is threated by the new features in the last update.

When the admins allowed players KillCoins to be saved if they leave and enter the game they had only positive intentions in mind. However becuase it allows a player costless refills it has devastating effects on the game.

The way it is being used is when a dishonest player gets low on ammo and health, he leaves the game and re enters promptly. The gain is his ammo is refilled along with his health. He is also moved from a potential sticky situation into a safe spawn area. This is a problem becuase it takes kills away from the players in the game who deserve them. The platers missing out on the kills do not earn kill coins. If a player uses this cheating manuver early in the game he can recieve the best guns the quickest and run the show from that point on.

The worst part about this is that the practice has been adopted by the greediest of pawngamers. The pawn elite, who new players look up to, are perpetrators. The300 for example, even allowed me to post his name in this thread, he knows it is unfair but does not care.

This practice allows someone to achieve a better Kill/death ratio than other wise and therefore ruins the integrity of the Top100 lists. Also since a death recieves -3 points a player cuts his death and will climb ranks quicker.

What can we do about this? For one, we could put a one time limit on the saved Kill Coins; this way, if a player does the leave and enter a 2nd time he will be without killcoins. Another thing we can do is not encourage the unfair players to continue. Peer pressure is a strong influence. Players strive hard to be respected in this game. If we see a player cheating in this way we should get on his case about it.

I'm sure theres some bright minds in this game who have something to say about this! Lets hear it pawnlings!

Don't you get it? It seems as though the glitchers of Pawngame have found a way to take advantage of the recent update.

If you ask me, I think health and ammo should also be saved. That way when you rejoin, you have the same health and ammo that you did, as well as killcoins.

Yes Frigz that would work, this way the people leaving wouldn't get a free refill. However thats not the way it is! If we don't create a stir about this nothing will happen.

Anyone who does that more than 3 times, report them for Game Spamming. (Enter & leaving game repeatedly is considered spam because of the server messages)

Its a great problem- especially becuase the top ranked players in pawn game are doing it. which will let the newest players to think its ok

How about you can only join a game once every 3 minutes?
Nah, wouldn't work.
Methinks you can only save 3 times?
