FTA Bonus on Highlevel Games means nearly Autowin

The beta hardcore strategists, however, deemed the system great as it spiced up the game a lot and opened up a little more possibilities.
However, I think OML overdid it, putting 3 wit spaces per side even on small maps, and in pretty Runner-exposed spots, too. Hence nobody appeared to like it and wished the old version (as it is now) back.

'Twas pretty embarassing/disappointing for me as I had originally suggested that gameplay change and suddenly everybody hated it so much because it was badly implemented.
With a little more consideration and less overdoing this could become quite the handy FTA balancing method which I also already proposed on the beta forums. No replies though, it seems that they have more important stuff to do at the moment. And we got a little too many of "the lesser skilled" betas who don't give a sh*t about FTA.


I currently hardly find the time for playing anyway, so I don't feel the urge to apply pressure onto fixing this ASAP. Just leaving a little side note regarding how the beta tests went. I think it was three days in total and got reverted to the old system. Without trying another iteration. Or asking what could be improved.
