The Cogs - Season 2 Rules and Format
Captain Smollett:
I am a bit worried about teams with an advantage deciding to run and hide.
If a team of double Pyras were up against say a Junker Galleon on a map like Paritian Rumble, they could go up by one kill and easily run away for the rest of the match which would be way more boring than a sniping match.
Also one of the first really long matches in the Cogs, the gents paddling match, was actually one of the most fun to play in as it transitioned from a really hard fought sniping fight into a really hard fought brawl. That match took around 35 minutes.
That being said an hour seems like a bit too long for a match when you have people waiting to play. Even if a time limit isn't put on, I think the casters should just leave the match after 30 minutes while the ref remains and then start the next match. This way competitive teams could shoot at each other for no effect as long as they want and no one would have to watch them do it allowing everyone to win.
N-Sunderland:
Actually, that's a pretty good idea, Smollett. That'd leave everybody happy without having a chance of screwing it up for the sniping teams. I'd only feel bad for the ref.
Squidslinger Gilder:
Gents match didn't have to go that long. I kept moving along the scrap looking for openings to exploit. Problem was the Gents were not giving any. Vid doesn't show it but a couple times I had gotten alongside the ship and was looking to see about slipping under it but Gent positioning changed. Its the risk of running against a galleon + pyra and the Gents are just too dangerous to take risks with.
Having the option of the casters going on to other matches works for me. Golf does this. It doesn't follow the same person the entire game, it would be too boring. It cuts in back and forth for highlight shots.
Strite:
I think Smollett's nailed it actually, good suggestion bud.
Squash:
