Map parties FFA vs owner need

[Infindox]

FFA. It's all too easy for one person in Owner Need parties to come out on top because RNGesus blessed them with good portal drops and door guesses, and the opposite for people with bad luck.

My map LS leader (love ya, Tiff!) does owner need outside, FFA inside (if portals pop), and if we're doing Gazelleskins, owner rolls need on Thief maps if/when they drop so they can open portals and choose the doors in the Hidden Canals too (still FFA for everyone inside). I think it's a fair deal for everyone involved.

Eh, everyone is free to run their parties however they want. Owners need vs FFA can be risky business though if someone doesn't want to play by the rules established by the group. The lower risk option would probably be FFA.

That's pretty fair!

These are rules that me & my friends set for maps party:
The chest outside portals is owner’s.
The chests inside portals are FFA.

This is to ensure that every gets at least something in the event when everybody’s terribly unlucky to not spawn any portals while assuming all member contributing at least 1 map.

FFA, though my FC started doing owner needs on outside drop (before portal spawn) and everyone needs inside portal, which I don't mind so much either.

FFA everything. Even if it is my map, I wouldn't have gotten there without the rest of the party. So we all get a fair share at the loot. Just have a requirement that everyone brings at least one map.

FFA, I've been in map parties where I've helped people do maps and then when I was given a chance to speak up about having a map or two they'd decide to stop doing maps. So if it was owner need I'd have been fucked over and probably would gave told those people (who were my friends) to go f*** themselves.

Personally prefer owner need over FFA. Only run maps with FC mates so "accidents" typically never happen and drama is non-existent.

Players tend to stay longer in a FFA group since loot pool is for everyone for every map opened. I even actively hand out additional maps to others without one since I always stock up on 6 or 7 of them from gathering.
