Sunday Community Skirmish: Are official pauses needed?
Skrimskraw:
do people even know the pause rules?
there are no rules about buffing or spotting during pauses.
BlackenedPies:
I was always told to cease chem and buffs
Kamoba:
I've had to call for a pause before as a crew had DC'd and have paused when opponent's have called for a pause..
Personally I think everyone in the community is mature and polite enough to adhere to pause rules but...
One scs me and Fynx found ourselves in the middle of the enemy spawn, we'd just downed one of.their ships and were turning to face the next but a pause was called, during the enemy respawn timer, the enemy respawns and a.few moments pass before pause is called off, they have both ships in battle where originally they would have had one, we came out victorious and yet the pause was a major disadvantage for us as it was a situation which allowed (by coincidence) our opponents to not have any respawn timer..
Just one example of how a pause can ruin someone's day in the right scenario. But we can't add rules for every single variable that may occur...
So I'd say pauses should stay, if the rules are clear and simple and very easy to understand without confusion or people bickering about X or Y, or pauses removed...
For now no vote until I decide, but pauses can effect the balance of the match.

I like all these arguments, but all it takes is one team to request a pause and the enemy team to not want to take it for endless salt and tons of drama. Official, enforced pauses take that out of the equation. There are a lot of great arguments here, but I keep coming back to the "what if"

Same reason how suggestions versus stopping hardcounter lobbies tend to be exploitable by teams aswell. It would still be faster regardless if both teams agreed, and if they didnt then I dont know, at worst we may have to enforce a warning/disqualify system for a lack of sportsmanship.
