The contestants should be on different teams. Once one team is eliminated then they will fight among their own. This doesn't completely fix the problem of constant map awareness, but it's slightly better.
The youtubers should be split into two groups each going to opposite sides and each wearing Quafe suits as to not get killed while filming.
Killing a journalist should be an automatic disqualification and forced suicide for that player.
The winner should also receive a picture of Jennifer Lawrence turned into canvas painting via any number of websites that do that.
First part about splitting the teams i'll take into consideration, but i fully intend for the youtubers to die. Not because i want to watch them die i just don't want the contestant worrying about killing anyone or anything. Pretty much if it moves you are allowed to kill it. It will be up to the youtubers and spectators to do there best to stay out of the way. They can ether dropship around and record from that angle(Might have found a good use for first person view on dropships). Or run around in super damped cloak scouts and try not to be spotted.
The contestants are not encouraged to kill the youtubers or spectators and get no reward for doing so. But you are allowed to because i don't want them to be worried whether the person they just saw was a contestant or a spectator. I want a blood bath, you see something move you kill it with fire. This will take the pressure of the contestants and let them do what they do best and will force the spectators to stay out of the way.
On the other hand the reason why everyone was set on the same team and spectators set on another is so when people are running around looking for kills everyone is on the minimap yes, but everyone who is there is a survior you must. You won't have to worry about trying to locate someone that is hiding at the enemy homepoint only when you get there to find out it is a afk spectator that just happens to be on your team.
Yes scouts will have it a bit rough but they will just need to take advantage of their speed instead of Ewar. Scouts been having a field day for month. It will be alright if there is one event they don't exceed in ether. I would like to make it balanced and unbiased towards dropsuit roles but there is only so much i can do with the game mechanics.
