People like to try to hide amongst the bots on both ffa and alliance. No one ever does this with the purpose of netting. Eliminate the new way to hide by having all the bots in a tag. It wouldn't compete for tnw so I think it wouldn't have a massive effect on the scores. Eliminate the safe haven for suiciders.

This is a really good idea, nothing ever came good from untagged people in an alliance based server, there is no real reason to remain untagged in alliance, i don't think you should be allowed oop without a tag. my 2 cents

bots will be tagging up once qz has time to finish coding.

since every1 can make a tag it wouldn't make any difference suiciders wise if only tagged countries can get oop.

It logically follows that yes, this is the case
If you give a man some fire, he'll be warm for awhile. If you set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

LoL ... but i am drawn to the possibility that Marshall could bs qz's schitzy alter ego ...

But back to the idea of requiriing a tag to get oop ... while it is true that any player can create a tag and wear it to get oop, they would be the only player with that tag, so any unknown alliance with one member is suspect. The change would be to force players to stay tagged - no dropping out or tag switchiing. If the "bad actors" choose to make a public alliance, well, that seems ok to me. If bots are not subject to the tag to go oop rule, they will be obvious as the untagged players that are oop.

well let's take namineff et co as example, they got few players into their tag so it wasn't 1 player tag.

few times alliance has either lost their tag admin pass or tag has been compromised or they want to honor old player who died during set so tag change was needed.

I'm not suggesting a perfect fit as is, but supporting the "tag to go oop" rule seems possible with minimal coding changes and admin support ... the real question is whether makiing both bots and humans without a well established tag conspicuous, so as to make potential troublemakers stand out, would that actually make for less overall trouble.

I think maybe it would ... or at least change the nature and style of the trouble troublemakers make.

Right. I think that it's likely more of a return to the old ways of suiciding and nothing more. It doesn't prevent a seeming constant to the game, just takes away the notion of trying to find a specific monkey in a jungle of bots. I think that if theres an aspect of the bots providing protection to griefers that can be easily eliminated, there really isnt a reason not to do it.

would be nice if they tagged up as people use the name generator to hide with the bots.
