Alpha

[timid hill]

Make it where tribes who are built in ratholes cant compete for alpha or if they are in a rathole they have to display the cords on the leaderboard to compete.

[wooden owl]

let em compete theres a reason they in a rathole its cuz they are bad, but yes anyone competing should display cords

[fallow flume]

A rathole winning alpha hasent happened since I’ve been admin at least, it hurts you majorly

[lament venture]

Everyone on leaderboard should have cords displayed

[wooden owl]

only top 5 imo

if everyone had to do it less ppl would sign up for leaderboard

which means u cant /raid

so less points

and only top3 is importnat not even 5

[lament venture]

Nah too many people yapping and hiding. Top 10

[wooden owl]

its gonna be the same just they wont be on lb

the yappers and hiders will always exist

[cobalt dagger]

Not sure how that would work, not 100% on it but pretty sure it would be all or nothing

Either everyone has to or no one

Like what happens when your 6th place with no cords then get 5th by raiding

Maybe auto op in but not sure if possible, maybe

[lament venture]

I think you make everyone. Who cares if less people register for it, the ones that matter will and the ones that don’t aren’t worth points anyways

A new rule is being implemented, if you live in a rathole past the 48 hr mark it will disqualify you from alpha, it’s been allowed for the first couple days as when all caves are taken it gives a 2 day opportunity to fight for a cave without your main being vulnerable open world

[valid orchid]

so i can start crafting 1000s of turrets in my rat for day 1 and move then to a cave is okay

[cobalt dagger]

Whatever you choose to do in your hole first 48 hrs is up to you, currently ratholes can apply for alpha after this rule is in effect they cannot only exception is day 1 and 2, no matter what you do in them 48 hours once you move to a cave if you can’t defend it no amount of turrets will help

[valid orchid]

okay okay

[cobalt dagger]

It’s basically just give an opportunity to raid out the cave you want if you don’t get it at first

[valid orchid]

Is the rule next wipe right ?

[cobalt dagger]

If it was banned entirely racers would just start getting everyone’s open world bases lol

[valid orchid]

cause on dous people build in a rat on abb

[cobalt dagger]

I’m not sure when it will take effect being talked about

[severe brook]

Can I still register for Alpha if I start a few days later?

[cobalt dagger]

You can but you won’t be able to take a rathole

[timid hill]

Yeahhhh

My suggestion won kind of

[timid hill]

Make a wipe of no caves with no dreads or racers lol

[hardy oriole]

Well it only took a couple days I guess for it to happen, and a grapple rat hole lol

[severe brook]

Yes on solo it will happen this time too

[wooden owl]

ni caves with dread and racer would be dope

[severe brook]

Just to be sure, if i play like one week in a rathole and after the week i move into a cave i wont be able to regist for alpha ?

[timid hill]

2days

So yes you wouldn't be able to

[severe brook]

I cant Acces the link

[cobalt dagger]

Oops

It’s an updated rule list if you can’t see it then it’s not ready yet once it is your be able to see

[severe brook]

Oh okay thx mate

[dull goblet]

How do yall know if they are in a rathole? Obviously im not going for alpha but do you just watch their bases constantly?

[lament venture]

You have to submit a application for alpha and most top 3 on leaderboard also reveal there base locations

[severe brook]

But the Application is open for 2 weeks and if you just allowed to build the first 48hours in a rathole for alpha how can they prove this

[cobalt dagger]

Base cords are tracked so we know on our side, if you wanna be extra safe and you see someone you suspect to be going for alpha you can clip it

[timid hill]

Just make it where if you sign up for the leaderboard you have to show cords

[junior pewter]

idk how hard it would be to change it but would be better players enter their cords/ location map because the auto update is just most regular bed which is not gonna be in the base for most people
