How about 3 different colors for Team match?
Blue team colors
Steel_Blue, Blue, Cyan.
Red team colors
Yellow, Red, and peach (Light red!)

Just like all the (existing) stages were redesigned to use polyobjects? Oh, wait.
PolyObjects are just a gimmick that can be used every now and then. Slopes, as seen in the classic games, are an integral part of every level.

I think that was in a 1.09.4 version of XSRB2. It had the whole, "collect as many fast respawning rings as possible and bring them back to base" thing and every so often, giant rings would scatter the middle of the stage and everyone's like "OH MY GOD, MUST GET RINGS". It wass good, but I'm not sure how it played online...

I agree, it would be cool if there was the possibility to choose a small amount of colours that were associated with red and blue.
Also, random TF2 idea, is it possible to script gameplay mode edits that do something else. For example, the whole "Roll the Dice" thing. Would it be possible to put in an input for a code of sorts like that?..
(Yeah, I'm winging it, this has a 1% chance of getting in, just the reading code would be hell, rather than people getting to make their own)

No, that was in ShufflarB2, not XSRB2.

Little event idea
The week of halloween, maybe edit the sprites a little (like maybe putting a witch hat on Sonic or something), and allow it to be used or something. I don't know, just a little something for a holiday.
King of the Hill idea: I think it would be a smart idea, if King of the Hill was added, to have big parts such as the giant floating platform in Meadow Match Zone, were the "hills", persay.

Too fast for you to see me.

Look that:
Just make one. =P
But if it becomes to a official gametype, it would be better.

I'm pretty sure the only system clock based event left is the AFD intro.
Date-based gimmicks have caused problems in the past, which is why they were removed.
Who said I want to make one?
King of the Hill doesn't need anything that Match doesn't have. It doesn't need to be its own gametype, because it would be identical to Match.
It's there, but I don't remember it triggering last April Fools. Saves a bit on the total file size of SRB2 The Past though.
Well, there are a couple reasons, but the main one is that the system clock is not universally set properly, so there have historically been problems with netplay around Christmas because of the date-based event. The only date-based even that didn't really cause any issues is the 1.09.4 easter event, and to be honest, we already have an easter egg hunt in the game because of the emblem system, so that was kinda redundant.
Well, the problem is that the game was loading external resources on game load. This causes contradictions with the netplay system in general.
Also, the date-based events really didn't add a whole lot to the game to begin with. X-Mas mode is a classic example. Sure, it changed the music and textures, but that was amusing only for a bit, and then became grating as the original end date was set to January 6th (12 days of Christmas my ass). Other events were frequently arbitrary or confusing as well. There was a period of time when Mario Koopa Blast triggered on New Year's Day, for example. What kind of sense does THAT make?

Mario Koopa blast, on new years? Sense not found.
The April fools event is still in the main files, as shown by my mod, but I think the trigger is gone. I think I may have suggested the removal of the SRB2 TGF opening because it didn't trigger. (edit: I did. first post on page 58)
Christmas mode though I feel should come back, but if it's still in a separate file (like I expect it would be) maybe it would had worked better if it loaded with the others from the start, but only triggered on the specified dates. Like the April fools event use to. It should also only last for 2 days, not 12. (the 24th and 25th of December)
But if that doesn't happen, I need to mess around with a copy of the SRB2 sources of 1.09.4 and 2.0.6, er, once I find out what file is the project file.

Glaber, the reality is that of all the events we've ever had, the Christmas one is by far the source of all of our problems. It causes SO many stupid bugs. If there's anything I wish I could delete from the history of SRB2, it would be that damn consistency failure on command...er, event.
Hell, just the fact that it generates precipitation in stages that don't naturally have it is a can of worms right there, since precipitation causes the stage to take a lot longer to load.
