Should Tig make Transformice allow tie firsts?

    I'm sick of getting a tie with first and ending up with second because of ping. I think that Tig should maybe change Transformice in some way so that the leaderboard could allow multiple firsts--because the ties aren't really fair. It would also take away a lot of the swearing and raging because most people cuss out others because of firsts and ties. XD

    Just a suggestion.

    Nah. 1 first doesn't win you a prize or anything. Even if you say had so and so 999 first. You obviously came in second, so you're capable of first. And besides, they're are still lag ragers. And people who lag, and don't say anything. When you lag the ping tends to be worse. Sure it would be nice to win a tie, but also it feels good to win a tie for real. It's just unlucky. Can't change that.
    Oh and one more thing, since when does coming in second ever count as winning hmmm?

    Nobody actually ever ties for first, the server just doesn't show all the numbers on the game screen. You'll always be a couple of milliseconds off at least.

    Never thought about that.
    It does tick me off when it ties and I get placed 2nd, though e_e

    while thats true. its also stupid, if you were to take into the account of the time it might send for someone who is in america to the server and for someone in france to the server... it gives it an unfair advantage to the french

    so in the end it really ends up being "who is closer to the server/who has a faster connection"

    Then just get in the hole sooner. Woo problem solved.

    There's only so much Tig can do. There'll always be ragers too. Say he allows ties for 1st place(even though the whole millisecond thing is true), then people will just whine for being 3rd, and etc. People will always throw out an excuse for why they didn't come in 'x' place.

    doesn't really solve anything when you are ahead of the mouse by a whole mouse length and then end up "tieing" but coming in second just because you are half way across the world from the server and they aren't

    I'm only talking about if people come in the same time (so if there are 5 11.4 times and thats the fastest time, yes all those would get first)

    of course there will always be ragers... thats not really anything other then "THAT WAS MY FIRST!" when they are in 10th place :p

    Plus, does anyone even have an idea how to make the france/America connection fair?

    I don't think it's a good idea for 2 people to have firsts, because that mean you must earn a first with 12 mice in the room (with sham) instead of 11, alot of stuff will be affected, plus, you can play 30 maps in one hour, try getting at least 2 or 20 and it actually depends on the skills of the people in room.. So I don't really think its a good idea

    You're complaining about such a retarded thing. What can Tig do?

    how about... exactly this suggestion.

    or you know... set up an american server and have them connected but that'd just be to simple now wouldn't it

    and not really complaining, since I don't really care if they actually do it or not

    You do realise how expensive servers are, right? You know, the main reason they decided to merge all servers into one?

    yes I do know but having 2 servers is a lot better then having one for each community still (and if you place them in the write place instead of all in the same area, its more fair for the players)

    I believe if they get enough money as a company in the future, they'll be able to have one server in America too. But that still depends on them and on what they decide to do with their money.

    Then it wouldn't be firsts anymore!
    It would just be tied firsts

    What I'm worried about is the ping. I lost 25 firsts 'cuz of it.

    Firstly, I don't like this kind of suggestion coming at this time. Why? Look, the tie has been on for like, 2 years already?

    Secondly, if Tigrounette is to fix this "bug", then what of those firsts that we got in those ties in those recent years? I'm pretty sure I'll have about 5000 more firsts, and the Firsts leader board will have at least 20 mice with 40000 firsts and above.

    Thirdly, I do agree about the fact that people do swear for not achieving first just by a few milliseconds. I get sweared all the time, but I keep reminding myself that they're just pixels. The player ahead of you may have gotten like 69.6s, while you had 69.696969s.

    However, allowing your 'tie-firsts' suggestion would mean no more competition. "Oh, I got second. Never mind then, I still got that tie-first. No need to use colourful language.". That's like winning a gold medal for achieving a second place in 100-metre run. Racing for first place is a 'win-it-all' situation, literally.

    I got a bad ping too, you know. Often I lose firsts by just a few milliseconds. It gets annoying, really. But I just shrug it off.

    So what, you want them to split up their team and one half go to America?
