I got in touch with Exit and he isn't really opposed to it but would like to wait on the others. No answer from Philly, Peril or Joe yet. I'll let you know ASAP Artic, doing my best and fastest on this.

They might not all be able to do Friday though. I'll see what I can come up with.

I'd hate this.

Ask for a DQ on another team who doesn't have their lineup in by 9:45pm EST and you will get those 4 points easy enough.



Well you can do whatever you want as league manager, but I recommend any team that loses points for something like this drop from the league or at the very least roll their eyes.

TLDR version -- Lots of teams are late every week. Don't cry when that causes your team to lose points. GLHF!

The matches are supposed to start at 10 and they do. Lineups are in by 9:45, they usually (I know we) are in by 9:45-9:50. You need to relax with this. Instead of going 9:45 NAO!!!! why don't you ask another PvPEC person to take line-ups or just, you know, allow them to be in before 10 and no later. Line-ups in between 9:45 and 10:00, then give a warning (not a game loss...) and then a penalty, like losing map pick choice or somesuch.

I mean...it's not like everyone has crazy connections/PCs either.
Is there anything else we should be getting game losses for? Maybe we all need the same SG uni? Do we need to stand in file so our builds can be viewed by every person? Are any emotes offensive and considered bad sportsmanship?

The point is, 9:45, 9:46, 9:47...they get sent in. Now, if a line-up isn't in by 10:00 or later, you definitely have an issue. Are they?

Losing points for something like this is a terrible, terrible, terrible idea.
It's going to turn into a bunch of stopwateh geeks all hitting "Refresh" on timeanddate.com and going "DQ!DQ!DQ!" Is that really what we want here? Really?

The 30-40 people in this league are probably among the few dedicated enough to still Arena on a schedule. Why turn this into a small fry thing?
You played on test Kat. Even with no line-up submissions, you know matches started within 5-10 of the announced time. This just seems to be an invitation to deuching another team that might be above you or that you think you can't beat by using time as a weapon. Lame.

If the issue is that you need help with line-ups, we will GLADLY help take them and copy paste them in Broadcast. Give people a little leeway on this, but set a hard limit to submit. Yeah, I know 9:45 is the hard limit, but people see the matches starting at 10 and wander in around 9:45. Have any teams actually complained about late line-ups or is this just to make our lives more difficult? How do we know someone petitioned about the time? Do we get to see chat logs on the forums or in PMs?

Please reconsider this. It's a terrible, extremely abusable idea and will only lead to teams dropping from the league or the league becoming a game of "City of Worldclock."

I'll ask Exit and then and let you know.

Everyone rides the Champ ladder short bus, we were there after week two, now it's you guys...just keep your chin up and WIN. I know you can do it!

Indeed.

Just win two of your next three and we lose all our games and voilà, you are in first place.
Looking at the standings now is pointless, look at them in mid-December.

Sharks are mightier than the TK Blasts looks like, very fun. GL in your next ones.

^^^ This write large.

Please don't do anything. At all. Ever.

I second the but his accounts expire soon. He was a great help to us and he kept it together.

Then the Devs need to make encounters be more than HUGE REGEN and HUGE HIT POINTS.

I'm going to be honest right now. I'm going to try the end game content coming up, but if it's annoying/tedious/unrewarding and demands a ton of effort/planning/etc beyond say...a States/Recluse/Hami Raid I'm just going to run ITFs/Ouros for Merits.

I did the CoP once and haven't done it since I got the badges.
I'll likely do the same with anything new if the reward/time isn't efficient.

I liked the interview but I'm somewhat puzzled about the "number online" revealed by the Search function. For example, a while back I could go to Freedom and see 600+ listed (list is truncated, it would say) but these days it seems to cap at 50 total. How can I get the 'real numbers' as they were back then? I find it unlikely, for example, that Freedom has only 50 people on at any time.

That's it right there, let know if there any concerns or so on.

Also, nice kickballs last night everyone.

It's more like being a lap leader on the third lap of the Indy 500, nice but...

I'll send Kat a PM to update our schedule.

LOL I will today or tomorrow, been super busy last two days.

I didn't have billions back then but I did have tens to hundreds of millions.
With daily Hamidon Raids on Champion (it respawned every few hours and we had it down to a 20-30 minute science, minus occasional Yellow Dawn griefing) we'd get a bunch of Hamidon Origins (no timer back then). Someone would always offer to buy your Cyto or Micro for 30-40 mil...or trade for other stuff. Or they'd run you through Dreck or Sam Naples and you'd get a bunch more influence. Or you'd run Katie for 10 single origins off Mary, quit out, vendor them and restart.

As stated previously, nothing much to spend on in the day outside of costume changes, costume contests and SOs so...

These days, there are so many inf outlets...you can make 100,000,000 + just cashing in one Hero or Villain Merit on specific recipes. Or you can trade in your Hero/Villain Merit and get five recipes...or you can craft and sell common IOs...or you can buy recipes and re-sell crafted items, or...

Don't be alarmed by high prices. Once you start rolling at level 50, inf will be aplenty.

Exit (To my knowledge) wasn't running a Mind/NRG in our matches. One of our teammates was though.

Also, schedule please?
