So in a 2v2 clanner, if one player breaks the rule, you want the other clanmate to take the penalty since they are the next immediate player to go? That makes sense to me. Any other mods who disagree can speak up.

Can you write how you want that to be worded in the rule you posted above?

shasper, you should have said 23 wednesday 23:59 GMT or 24 thursday 0:00 GMT.

so this is 1 day's notice.  lalo/cfc just say if that time is ok or not.

otherwise, say if the other time mentioned is still available -> the "1amGMT Friday 25th" one

I reported against the wrong player. I confused free/flex.

Game should be reported vs flex instead of free (sorry free) ;x

oops xD

I don't think MonkeyIsland changed it yet from the previous system. Currently looks like it's still 1,3,5,7=seasonal 2,4,6,8=overall

daina, because komo said this ->

How many games Twy? If you don't think we will get it all done, maybe you should try let us know another time you could play the whole set?

I prefer to do it all in one go, and most other people do also, I think.

Just 1 or 2. Ok, I'll tell you a new day/hour then, tonight.

please, just try your best guys.

Hmm, you can kindly ask those dP players (Chelsea/Csongi) if they are willing to play again with a rehost, but it is up to them if they want to keep this report.

I believe mods have decided that hardware problems with moving worms or such are the responsibility of the player. Also, your clanmate seemed willing to continue anyway.. though I understand if he was not sure what was going on with you, probably you not being able to talk. Other mods weigh in if I've got this wrong.

And in terms of cheap play, there is also an actual 'lame' strategy to win TTRR/RR games, it's called pole extensions to move up all walls, most short horizontal parts

That's my view.

This has to be a level. No one could actually believe this lol

reading his whole text, it makes sense if you just understand that he's trying to compare all aspects of bng with TTRR.. so naturally he chose the "safe extending" in racing to compare to the "safe bouncers" in bng. they're considered "cheap" in bng due to silly honor codes created in past years, but no such code was created for TTRR probably because it doesn't make as much sense. I don't think Anubis really thinks it's lame to extend.. or if I'm wrong, he can say so.

Orange/Zippo, it was tempting to kick out both players because Orange simply never showed any effort at all, and Zippo has a bad history with playoffs.. but considering Zippo actually finished his (separate) playoff games for TEL round1, plus saying that he's PM'd Orange multiple times with no reply... I think it's fair to let Zippo advance. MI, please let Zippo into round2. Don't expect special treatment though if you're lazy in round2. Good luck. Orange, go to menu Leagues -> Your Settings -> and uncheck Playoffs participation if you don't want to put in any effort.

I simply couldn't catch zippo because we have huge different GMT. And today is the first time i read this thread. I'm new to playoffs, i really didn't know there was a forum section for it (i basically never lurk tus forums).

By the way no problem, if i got kicked out it's ok, i would probably loose vs zippo anyway.

Peace.

This thread is really only a last resort to keep playoffs moving. The most I can do here with this thread is to nudge players to play and make constant reminders before deadlines. I think had you put in just a little bit more effort to meet with Zippo instead of just "catching him online", this would end nicer.   Hopefully your next playoff experience will go better.

almost 3 weeks in now. -> and round1 deadline has passed.
less than 3 weeks left for round2.

Zippo/Almog, good job finishing round1.


good luck to:

Zippo/Johnny

Artic/Random

almost 3 weeks in now. -> and round1 singles deadline has passed.
less than 3 week left for round2 singles.
less than 2 weeks left for round1 clans.

singles:

round2 Nail/Csongi, extra good job finishing early.

clans:

dC/ps, 1-1 is good. Good luck finishing. Are you playing on this coming weekend? Do any weekdays work?

TaG/cfc, Komo you said above -> "How many games Twy? If you don't think we will get it all done, maybe you should try let us know another time you could play the whole set? I prefer to do it all in one go, and most other people do also, I think." No, play single games with specific players if it helps to schedule times to meet. Please don't encourage skipping over dates where 1 or 2 games can still be played. It's difficult enough getting people to meet at specific times.

Yes, but as you said the overall rank acts as a guide and determines how seasonal points you will gain for each match. It still effects your overall rank as well, which many people will not want to do.

There are many players who only want to play elite or ttrr, it seems far better just to have an individual league with individual rankings than to do it all through the classic league.

"It still affects your overall rank as well, which many people will not want to do" -> That shouldn't be up to them. It doesn't matter what people think about their overall rank. It's not even there for their benefit or status. It's there for their opponents, to appropriately distribute points.

Sure it can be nice to view overall ratings for the people that are curious, but it shouldn't be something that's so important that it's untouchable. Letting people "not want to affect their overall ranking" and let them just sit on it seems to go against the spirit and point of the league. Why cater to those people?

Right now, we're moving toward splitting up games with every new league -> Classic/TEL/TRL/TTRRL/etc... and it just feels weird. Doesn't it feel more deserved that classic standings show the true overall ranking, that includes all classic schemes being played? Why should TEL elite games be treated differently than Classic elite games? Why should the exact same schemes be allowed to get reported in separate leagues?

I can see two sides of this working.. either keep creating separate leagues completely for ALL the classic schemes (Elite,Roper,TTRR,Hysteria,BnG,Team17,Shopper,WxW) and THEN somehow create the overall classic standings again by combining all of these results. Or bring everything back into the classic league and THEN extract the standings for each scheme that has deserved playoffs. The end result is very similar in both cases, mainly exact same schemes don't get repeated in separate leagues.

I dont like this idea.

The reason I dont pick ttrr as much as id like to for the classic league is becuase I dont get many points for it. I try to pick the scheme I get the most points for when I play the classic league.

People dont wanna mess with their classic league rank, if we did it this way it would also mean that people who only want to play ttrr or elite would have to reach the minimum games limit in order to make the playoffs.

If good players who dont want to take part in the classic league (like cue) were to ask for "TUS ttrr anyone", or spw "tus elite anyone", people would be less inclined to play them considering they dont want to risk their overall rank in that scheme.

If there was a seperate league with seperate rankings, people would be far more likely to play, knowing that those games will not infringe on their overall statistics.

The solution is simple to me, make another league for ttrr... what harm could it possibly do?

We've already confirmed that it wont affect classic league activity in any way, and there are a large number of players who want to have a ttrr league. Again, what harm could it possibly do!?

If it does indeed turn out to not be active, then we can just remove it... you cant lose! Make a ttrr league, there hasnt been one for ages and so many people want one so badly!

You're still thinking in the old system.. now in the new system, there is no point in "risking overall ranking."  It's only the seasonal rank that really matters. Overall is there only to be a guide, and to help distribute points. It doesn't directly affect one's seasonal performance.

Artic has disappeared from playing any games.. ever since March 5th. I realize he might be busy, but he hasn't been making an effort to tell me exactly a time that he isn't busy for me to meet him.

Even on that day March 5th.. he chose to play TEL vs NAiL instead:

19:45: NAiL`bOr> tus or tel anyone?
19:46: ArtiC> me tel
19:46: ArtiC> host up
19:46: NAiL`bOr> kk
19:47: franz> articcc
19:47: franz> -.-
19:48: franz> you're playing tel? really?
19:49: ArtiC> yep, i can't? xD
19:49: franz> you didn't try msg'ing me?

19:52: ArtiC> this is my first game, i wanna to be "warmed"

then he logged off for the day after losing 2 games vs NAiL.  ;/
