Area of Ice Escape should be autohosted!

[BouncingHitman]

Link to map (or load code if it's on the public hosting bot): load code "au60o"
Slot layout if applicable (for example, if some slots need to be closed): Slot 12 Computer, rest open.
Number of players until autostart: 6
Problems with map (like cheats and such), if any: N/A
Why the map should be autohosted: I've hosted atleast 50 games of Area of Ice Escape which have all been filled within one minute of elapsed time. I believe and I highly recommend this map to be hosted, it will bring more players to us and people will love a face paced, fun and hilarious game.
Special notes:
Bot Number: 4 ~ Games hosted last week: 1 ~ Map: [ENT] Combat Zone #14
Bot Number: 29 ~ Games hosted last week: 1 ~ Map: [ENT] Hero Wars 3v3 #9
Bot Number: 31 ~ Games hosted last week: 1 ~ Map: [ENT] TD Chaos War #14

The stats above are maps which haven't been filled recently, along with more in the stats page. These bots can be replaced by new maps to refresh the community with a new feeling.

I think it's better to play it in public hosting, why autohost it?

People don't think of hosting it, because it is an under rated game. When a community member sees the game being publicly hosted, they go "Oh yes! I remember this game, it's awesome, fun and funny!". Then, people won't need to wait for the "coincidence" to happen.

It is RPG game, maybe can host on the RPG bot. But RPG games are weird to autohost. What's wrong with using public hosting system? We should autohost less games and have more public hosting bots.

It is not an RPG game, you go and slide on ice to obtain the objective.

I mean it's like game you do specific goal, once you beat it why do again

[BouncingHitman]

There's many levels uakf.b, which get more and more challenging. It's like me asking "Why are you autohosting DotA? If we beat the goal, why play the game again?". Please play the game Area of Ice Escape before you comment on this thread again.

What i think he meant to say was that all the levels come in a random order so it's not like you're playing the same sequence over and over

I'm afraid the delay wont be low enough for everyone in the world to play it though, i'm EU and tried to play this from an ENT bot, but had like 90 ping which pretty much fucks you up in that game =/

[BouncingHitman]

With a latency of 50 and a synclimit of 1000 for most users.

There is replay value, if that's what you're asking uakf. You can play the game hundreds of times and never come close to winning. Most AoIE games are not about winning, but seeing how far you can get and what level you can obtain.

There are only two negatives I can think of
1) delay - the slightest delay kills in this game. It would have to be a really stable hostbot.
2) discouraging new players - new players will die in approximately 1 second unless they take time to see how to play well. And that can be frustrating if you don't have a lot of patience.

I've played Ice Escape on the Ent.Hosting# bots, it's pretty stable from the users around that location, but for people in Europe it gets a bit iffy.

uak doesn't seem convinced.
