You have to use a reference that doesn't change regardless of orientation.

Therefore left/right & east/west are inferior to snow/grass. Snow/grass doesn't change whether you are imp or rep, facing north or south, using mini-map or using big map.

Listen to me now. Start using snow/grass.

Except that everyone knows that the Imp spawn is in the North and Rep spawn in the south.

Also you can lock the minimap to always be orientated North.

It's EXTREME;Y obvious that if your IMp you call east/west, and if the turrets on Alderaan for republic correlate to elft anf right correctly you say 'left' and 'right'.

Stupid amercans, need to be so anal over thigsn when there is never any need to. Also shout alot in foreign countries to let everyone know exactly which country there are from, in case their is any misambiguation; such as not being able to play a game that needs directions to be pointed out.

The forcevoice is not working on this one.

He may be an alien.

The left and right flank doesn't change either. It's always on your left, respective on your right when you enter the battlefield.

You will pick up knitting and leave the pvp to people with a working sense of orientation.

Snow/Mid/Grass

It works and is easily apparent (if they call out snow and you aren't standing on snow, you're in the wrong area).

We tend to use snow/grass on our server too (imp side). It kind of went like this - left/right was a no-go from the beginning because left on the map and left from our spawn point are reversed. Tried east/west, but realized that most people have no idea which way is east (kids these days...probably can't even figure out which way is up without help). So, eventually we settled on grass and snow.

That would only be true if people faced one direction during the length of the battle.

You have to assume like you are playing with 3rd graders, and keep it simple. There's nothing more simple than using a reference point that doesn't change regardless of orientation. You could invert gravity and flip the maps onto their mirror images and "snow" would still be snow.

I tend to enjoy knitting. It gives me something to do while I'm guarding snow.
