okay, i pretty much like both modes too, but they focus on two different things too much to be a replacement for the other.
a official bigdojo aikido server gets my vote too.

i see only newbies and lowactive players are voting for small dojo.

How many plain aikido servers do we have? aikido7, aikido8, qa1, qa2, q3, qa4 + always empty sambo7. And noone server with aikidobigdojo.tbm =/

ultimate server must be aikidobigdojo.tbm
Erm, no. Regular dojo takes much more skill to stay on it. Shovels aren't problem, if ultimate have so many high-skilled players, obviously they know how to counter a shovel.

And yes, regular dojo have more interesting matches than BD.

If you want BD, go on and make a server.

Hm, I've played against people who do pretty much what I do. (That's actually how I learned it was so much fun ) I agree that the fighting that goes on is fundamentally different than taekkyon or wushu, but it's still pretty interesting. Usually there's at least one grab and both people are frantically punching each other and readjusting their grips. The ED makes it easier to establish a grab and puts less emphasis on an opener that moves you forward. The gravity helps you stay on the ground but doesn't really keep you from fighting. And I don't mind the turnframes too much. Shorter might be nice, I'd be happy with ones that don't shoot to 50 towards the end.

Bigger area, shorter turn frames, longer match. That would result in something where combat was viable. Shorter frames allow for more technical playing so IMO 35 should be the highest. Maybe increase the engage distance? I'm not sure about that but it could be something to test. And of course the dojo... The 800 used on most big dojo-aikido mods is maybe too big? At that size it may as well not be turned on. 600ish could be a good compromise.

Anyhoo (I talk too much), maybe time to create a whole new mod rather than changing a few things & calling it aikido.

Hm, maybe something like lenshu. Lenshu is weird, with the in-dojo DQ timer and the annoying engage distance. But taking some concepts from it and blending it with BD aikido could be interesting. I like the idea of a new mod.

Let ultimate aikido actually be aikido. And ask someone to take away Sambo, since no one plays it anyway, and substitute it with BD Aikido. Why remove the real Aikido from the official server?

apple you seemed to be on at wrong times....the server prosambo does get packed as well as other servers..
I vote for aikidobd as a default mod for ultiaikido or a new official server...
there are waaay more none black belt servers that could easyly get turned into black belt..
