Warrior General Games

I believe it.

My AI can get by without tagging, but you don't get a good look without tagging.

My blitzes are based on tagging for the most part, as are my player choices at NT, ROLB, LOLB, and MLB.

If you can't find a use for this feature, don't use it. If you don't want it because you think some people will misfire their AI, they deserve it.

If it is just an autoscrim, whatever. If you rely on auto tagging in a tournament game, season game, or playoff game then you get what you deserve.

Any idea how much of a clusterfuck this game would be if everything that "someone might use" was added?

I like optional auto-tagging. Set it up like auto-offers, it will default to being off for a team, you control it via position/archetype. You have to actively turn it on in order for it to work and it can be toggled by position.

So you can set it up to always tag receiving/te's as receivers. Or blocking fb's as blockers, etc.

I can see the pros and cons. I would use it till it made a mistake, complain about it and still use it. All the while waiting for someone else to make a suggestion about improving it.

Why do you need a good look when someone else instant scrims you?

If I'm going to watch the game, I want to see my defense. I hate to lose, but I won't learn anything from the loss if my AI isn't running my D.

We still have the casual leagues.

Obviously you don't want an autotag to override your existing tag, but rather than login every two hours to see if a team you have not previously tagged has set up a ranked scrim (or to cowardly take yourself out of the autoscrim via your settings), this seems like it should have been a no-brainer addition when the instascrim was released.

Bort himself said so:

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4816626&page=2#44498702

And in demonstrating the total arbitrariness of the suggestions forum and the people involved, six months after the original suggestion (which included Bort's endorsement) was posted, it was resuggested and immediately put up for voting.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=4942677

It sits, with 1327 votes for and 264 votes against in the so-called "recently added suggestions" link on the homepage.

Obviously this game is out of beta, but even when it was in beta, the user feedback model and its implementation were both severely flawed. IMO the game has become overly dependant on content provided by the users via Greasemonkey scripts, when the content makes so much sense that it should be hard-coded into the game (such as the VBP).

I love this game, but the ivory tower approach to the development of this game and way changes are made to it have stunted the potential of what could have been an amazing game instead of merely a good one.

uh we are out of beta

none of this is going to happen sorry

Then schedule the games yourself and set the tags. Quit whining for Bort to accommodate you over meaningless garbage.
