Cool Hosting hotels?

As many people hosts hotels, I want to know, in wich gamemode do you think it would be the best? Battle or treasure hunt?
And do you make / have you made hotles and do you host them?

I'm making a hotel,
I like them,
and I think they should be hosted in battle, because:

Good things:
  • You can kill annoying people, if they bump on you, shoot you, destroy your golf-shell...
  • It's more like real life!
  • Polices get more work. What would they do without criminals?

Bad things:
  • nothing. Hahahaa.

Bad things:

-Hotels are boring in any gamemode. Unless it's a hotel of high quality. That means no Polish hotels or something like you see in TSF.

speaking of hotels can someone make me a rick astley tileset?

also hotels in general are boring, but made properly can be fun. The main problem with hotels, however, is that their creators get bored of them quickly, and hotels last at most two weeks. Not only this, but people who frequent hotels get bored unless you continually add features.

The combination of the lack of new features and lack of interest by creators means all hotels are doomed from the start. However, the hotel gametype is probably the most hosted gametype, with new hotels created every day, each one crappier than the next. It's an interesting subject, really.

It would be like real life with friendly fire enabled. Ergo, I propose that hotels be hosted in CTF mode. Blue team for the police, red for the criminals.

Oh, well, then it wouldn't be a hotel... In hotel, thre are also civilians, not onliy polices and criminals.

IDEA! :
It would be a new gametype! Cop and robber! Let me make one...
Oh, wait a minute! Nope... We have bank robbery. Darn, just when I've thinked: We have new gametype, but theres' the bank robber...

Wait a sec!
I'll make a bank robbery level, wich looks like hotel (or bank...)!
( ^ optional idea...)

Ooh! Civilians and criminals! The civilians are all turned into frogs and birds so they can't fight back while the criminals mercilessly slaughter them. And there'd be a swimming pool!

Hotels should be hosted in Treasure so you don't get roasted all the time. But as hotels are just like chatrooms to me, and I get bored when I'm running JJ2 only to chat, I don't like them.

Pretty much every remotely popular hotel I can think of right now disagrees with you.

That isn't true , I've been in hotel wich was hosted in battle for 30 minutes, I got roasted only twice.
Polices... uh... slaughtering criminals?
Yes, it's more fun:

Think this:
Criminal robs the bank. Cops do nothing, because they can't kill the robbers.

You know: we all want sometimes to kill someone. It's good to be done online in JJ2, because you don't get to Jail for 20 years for that! And for bonus, you see a fancy death-animation!

I won't get to Jail for 20 years anyway as you get released sooner than anyone expects in the Netherlands. Maybe because we have so many criminals and so little jails... ;p

Jerry's fact about the Netherlands is true. So many Dutch people who visited this site have to steal a legal copy of Jazz2 cuz there are no original copies to find anymore, the police can't handle the situation and so our small jails are full way too quickly...

You haven't posted here in over two years.

Hotels should be hosted in battle mode, and killing should be encouraged. It is more fun that way. Running around and collecting coins is boring and can go on to no end. And being roasted doesn't affect chatting.

But hotels are about running around and collecting coins! That's what you need to buy space. AFAIK you lose your money when you get killed.

You do. That's the point.

Not that it's too big a deal, if you designed your layout and pricing system with competence. Rooms in Lifewater Lodge costed 500 coins, but it's easy enough to save up 500 coins in LL if you focus on collecting instead of fighting.

Isn't it more fun to collect coins while there is a risk of dying if you can't defend yourself?

Seriously, if you remove the aspect of shooting other people in hotels, there's really nothing left than aimlessly running around collecting coins. Which gets old fast.

That's pretty much the premise of MMORPGs, isn't it?

Hotels can be quite fun, if done properly. I'm still busy with some kind of hotel-ish stuff (started three years ago yay) and I always add and/or improve stuff before I host again. Variation makes fun.
