Okay so first off, this is probably the first time I've ever actually had an idea for RoF, so don't shoot me if you don't like it or I have royally screwed up somewhere k? x) Secondly this may or may not have been thought of before, I did take a look to see if it had once been suggested, didn't see a thread so here I go.
K so, I noticed a lot of people have issues with rounds either being to short or being too long, I find they are very long myself, which is probably why I don't play RoF as much as I do other servers. So what does my idea have to do with anything of what I am currently waffling on about?
The general idea is a panic round, a round that is much shorter than a normal RoF round and the lava obviously rises much faster.
In general a RoF map is 35 mins? In panic round it would be cut down to 20 mins (give or take) 5 mins to prepare 15 mins to hopefully get a home together. It would be one of those rare rounds such as an angry or annoyed round, however I would probably preference that such a round only be allowed to take place if the mood was calm. I have no doubt the amount of ragequits that would occur on an Angry panic round. (Now that I think of it, was this a thing on Classic Lava?) Also like annoyed or angry rounds it would give no extra rewards or such, its just another level of difficulty to add a bit of variation that I do think is needed. It might also solve the issue some people have with long rounds as the occasional panic round will see to it they are kept busy.
Feel free to discuss and improve on the idea, its purely a suggestion on my part, if its not possible in coding then don't sweat over it.
