A room customization option that forces all players to target a specific player, until said player tops out. This is basically a makeshift 1vX t***s mode implementation.

osk hasn't yet implemented #1020069354366324766 because teams mode is sacrilege or anything. he hasn't because it's an unoriginal concept he wishes to iterate on random
this option just sounds like a bad idea, butthurt hosts might use it to destroy someone's fun after winning a regular free for all round, or mischevious ones may simply turn the entire lobby against any rankX player or verified local celebrity that joins, for instance
it's especially not great when you consider that tetr.io doesn't buff your attacks or delay them in any capacity when you're being targeted by many players. in fact, the game doesn't know who's targeting who, so payback sends garbage to only one player (the one who most recently sent you garbage)

i know you're expecting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTE4zEKtxkA but the truth is if you put 10 rankA players against czsmall0402, if over half of them did benign PCO cz couldn't survive the 50+ rows of garbage without delays or generous blocking

main idea was that you play 1v2 or 1v3 against your friends who are lower rated, I hadn't considered that this could be abused in public rooms. Maybe as a private room only setting?

Sure that could work

#

But manual targeting does exist

#

You could tell everyone to simply target that one player

I actually did this with my U rank friend and ICLY, vs 10pps zzztoj

#

zzztoj easily won

#

But that was partly because we kept forgetting to target it

yeah

#

So like, peeps can't just spam PCO, because excess garbage just discarded

kindred blade

#

nah, garbage comes in exclusively per-attack

kindred blade
#

But like, isn't there garbage sent cap or smth?

it's identical to how it works in TE:C

#

which seems sorta random because the garbage queue is hardcapped at 12

#

so the effective cap is at 24 anyways

#

but yeah that does exist

#

(i think)

#

The garbage entering the board might be limited

#

But there is no cap to how much you can send

livid hazel
#

No I just checked again the attack number is hard capped at 20

#

In the amemiya 1v98, when he has full badges, you see a single line clear send 18 lines (9 from being targeted, doubled because of badges)

#

But when he sends a tetris under the same conditions it sends 20

Oh wait in t99

#

My bad thought this was referring to Tetrio

I keep forgetting to scroll up for context 💀
