Assuming there isn't a change of heart, should A&C be showing on Saturday just in case, or can we have the day off?

We're looking for a fifth...if you let us know what you have we can probably add you.

I don't know, hopefully Kat will be there or we can just rope someone into it. Arts & Crafts is gonna die, devs please make nukes good again in PvP.

9 p.m. Eastern Sunday looks like, Pixel.

100% this.

Don't make me go back to zones, that stuff is worse than Will Hung singing Hotel California.

^^ This.

I am having a great time in the other league, I'll play here just for more PvP though.

(Warning, Caps lock activated!)

NO.

IF DuMB HAS FORUM AND INGAME TITLES THE AXIS OF THE EARTH WILL SHIFT AND PEOPLE WILL START PVPING AGAIN.

POWERS THAT BE, CRITICALKAT, PSYPUNK AND GREAT LORD AJAX, KEEP THE LEAGUE GOING SO THAT A NON-DuMB TEAM CAN WIN.

(Caps lock deactivated, have a nice day!)

Why even go to that length?
SO up some Psy/Fires and AR/Pains and roll us.

Brb writing last will and testament.

It's ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!

We'd potentially like to do this Sunday at 9 or 10 if possible. Need to check with Exit, Philly and Joe to make sure.

From The Onion:

You Will Suffer Humiliation When The Sports Team From My Area Defeats The Sports Team From Your Area

By Bill Brodhagen


"As you can see from the calendar, the game is coming up this weekend. I'm sure you are as excited for it as I am, as our cities are rivals and have been for quite some time. Your confidence in your team is high, but rest assured, you will suffer humiliation when the sports team from my area defeats the sports team from your area.



On numerous occasions, you have expressed the conviction that your area's sports team will be victorious. I must admit that every time I hear you make this proclamation, I react with both laughter and disbelief. "Ha!" I say to myself with laughter. "What?!" I say to myself in disbelief. How could you believe that your sports team could beat my sports team? It is clear that yours is inferior in every way.



When the sporting contest begins, the players on your team will be treated as though they are inconsequential. It will be remarkably easy for my team to accumulate more points than yours. There are many reasons for this, starting with the inferior physical attributes of the players representing your area. Strength, speed, and agility are just three of the qualities that the players on the team from your area lack. The players representing my area, on the other hand, have these traits in abundance.



I would not be a bit surprised if the individuals on the team from your area were sexually attracted to members of their own gender. That is how ineffective they are on the field of battle.



Underscoring your team's inferiority is its choice of colors. It is ludicrous to believe that your team's colors inspire either respect or fear. Instead, they appear to have been chosen by someone who is colorblind or, perhaps, bereft of sight altogether. The colors for my team, on the other hand, are aesthetically pleasing when placed in proximity to one another. They are a superior color combination in every way.



While we are on the subject of aesthetics, let us compare the respective facilities in which our teams play. While my team's edifice is blessed with architectural splendor and the most modern of amenities, yours is a thoroughly unpleasant place in which to watch a sporting contest. I know of what I speak, for I once attended a game between our respective teams in your facility. Let's just say the experience left me wishing that my car was inoperable that day due to mechanical problems, rendering it impossible for me to get to your area to attend the game.



If you need another reason why the sporting franchise representing my area is superior, look no further than the supporters for the two sides. Not only are the supporters of the team from my region more spirited, but they are also more intelligent and of finer breeding than you and the rest of your ilk. In addition, the female supporters of the team from my area possess more attractive countenances and figures than yours. Some of the women from my side that I have observed could make a living by posing for pictures for major men's magazines. The women who cheer for your team, I'm afraid, are far too unattractive to do so.



One of the more pathetic aspects of the team from your area is the fact that only people in your immediate area possess an affinity for it. By means of contrast, the team from my area inspires loyalty and affection in individuals who live in many other geographic locations.



To illustrate this point, let me tell a brief story: Recently, I was on vacation in an area of the country far away from my own, and I saw many individuals wearing items of clothing that bore the insignia of my team. I approached one such individual and asked him if he originated from my area. He said no, explaining that he simply liked the team from my area and had for many years. Interestingly enough, during this trip, I saw no clothing or other paraphernalia bearing the insignia of your team.



Do you still doubt that the team from your area is inferior to the one from mine? Just look at our teams' respective histories. In the past, we have defeated you on any number of occasions. Granted, there were times when your team beat my team, but those were lucky flukes.



The day of the game will soon be at hand. And no matter how hard you pray to a higher power or how many foam accoutrements you wear in support of the team from your area, your team will be defeated. We will win and you will lose. This is your fate.



Prepare for humiliation. It shall be upon you at the designated hour."


PSOMA.

DUEL ME UNDER ATLAS ON OUR MAP PICK. YOU THINK BEING THE BEST EMP IN THE GAME CARRIES ANY WEIGHT WITH ARTS & CRAFTS?

THIS IS REAL PvP, DAWG.

Predicted Scores:

dUmb 182 - 0 Atlas
dUmb Googleplex - A&C -3 (Our offense is terrible, they killed me while under Confuse) Industrial
dUmb 1,355,892,892,885,843.PI - A&C 1 (We killed Pixel, he was too busy laughing at our inept line-up.)

GLHF!!!!!!!!!

No, having two Therms doesn't mean you auto-win.
What it does do though, is make games into long attrition wars where one dude has no end and a severe damage penalty throughout the match, resulting in 2-1, 2-0, 4-0, 3-2, etc. scores. The situation is even more absurd because on top of the Therms having awesome debuffs, you also have self heals and targeted heals, in case, you know...that Glad Jav proc or Will Dom actually managed to land more than 200+ points of damage out of 1600.

All of which was exactly why limiting certain sets/ATs was suggested early on in the first place. That case was lost and closed though. It's pretty sad that only a few teams are running anything other than 2 Therms 1 Blaster or 3 Therms at any time. You like to slag Easy Kills but at least they brought something different against us. So did GDHRT and I'm pretty sure dUmb will too.

Honestly, it doesn't matter at this point because with 5 teams left, teams are going to get points from forfeits/byes until everyone else gets bored and there will be 2-3 teams left at the end of the season, if that much.

Just to address Elf's last post, the Saturdays are going to be an issue throughout the season, since people like to go out/de-stress etc. on that day.
You can reschedule though. Even then, there might just not be enough interest left in November for the ladder to sustain itself. Which is sad, because this had the potential to be fun for the most part. We'll see what happens but I'd be shocked if any more than 3 or 4 teams were left when December rolled around.


Yay?

I dunno. AC stuff.
One of the teams said they were dropping and so did some others.
Not much on the boards though and no rosters altered so who knows.

Psoma, any way you can do our match on a Sunday when we meet? I'll check with Joe and Philly if they can make it that day.

Thanks.

Thanks for everything Peril, maybe will see you in some other game. Drop by any of our vents if you want.

I could go for this.

I'd prefer Sunday/Thursday myself.
Edit. Just for myself, I'll likely need to resked one of the next weeks, friend coming back from a long trip and so on.

Overall, we just addressed things that needed to be addressed. We got more points for wins, the 2-Stalker limit to prevent draw line-ups (for the most part) and people understandably would like to have the games on a different day. We can resked anyways, so the day doesn't really matter all that much, but it would be nice for those that are getting busier on weekends, etc.

I'd totally be in favour of a new standard fight night.
I'd have to consult with my teammates on when they could be there, but yeah Tuesday or Wed or maybe even Sunday would be awesome from my point of view.
