    I've been harassed by another women so this ^^^

    If I'm around, I'll run some trials. It's not too difficult to get the badges, if everyone listens.
    Dammit stop getting the badges Rox not having them keeps you in game.

    However I have a Verizon Unlimited data package and I am using my Droid Incredible as an internet tether. I ran speed test and have 104ping, 1.23mbps down and .76mbps up.

    I just reactivated my account after many years, downloaded and patched everything, but when I get to the login screen and put in my account info it delays for awhile and then gives me an error message that says "unable to connect, could be due to local network or firewall block...ect"

    I have turn off all firewalls and protection, but it still does the same thing. Is there a work around?

    I thought about trying this for when I am away visiting family with no net. I was afraid that there would be a hidden charge though. Could you let me know how you do it and if it works out for you? I have the same service as you, and the original droid.
  7. Des if you still want me for this let me know.

  10. Wait so if I can't get the launcer to work (which I can't) I can just use steam? Will that update the patches as well? Otherwise I won't be able to play come aug 4th.
  11. This is great maybe repost in the thread on the players questions section.

    We'd need three subs at the very least, probably more if we are going to rotate in and out the new players and so on.
    Honestly I am not opposed to making it next Friday but this is going to continue all summer long. People will always not be able to make it. So are we going to postpone every time people don't make it?

    Also even with the 3 missing (including smallz) and your teams no shows I count 8 (including you)

    I'll leave it up to Masque but honestly this will be an ongoing issue so once we set a precedent people will ask to reschedule each time. To reschedule for 5 people (all teams) when 25ish other people will be able to make it doesn't seem very fair. I am saying this even though I will be down to just me as an emp/pain.

    Let me or Smallz know via PM or ingame tell.
    Who else other than Hemm and nugget will not be there?

    Yes but it gets so old so quick, at least Vex put's it into well constructed sentences. But most just say that and only that.

    Wanting to play with the group of friends that I am familiar with and have a rapport with is not a bad thing, it is not wrong, and was a big portion of what made Test Server so much fun for years before League's like this were brought to the forefront.

    I am in no such position to even offer an ultimatum to begin with. I thus far have stepped forward with some form of compromise, but cannot act on it because good faith with the playerbase and organizers in this league does not seem like a viable option to go with. I might be a dick, but I'm certainly not naive, and I'm definitely not stupid. Lack of stupidity has more than likely earned me the ire of several posters in this thread. C'est la vie.
    I've actually enjoyed your posts in this thread because of that. Usually forum PvP is dumbed down and boring I mean how many times does "your fat" or "your bad" work.

    Saying that I appreciate what you are doing is the disclaimer that it isn't trollish or passive aggressive. You need to try actually reading before you jump to the defensive. You have a real nasty habit of doing that.
    I am defensive of this thread and here is why:

    One of the biggest barriers to new people entering PvP is the trash talk in broad cast and the PvP threads are aggressive, trollish, and sometimes just downright abusive in language. One of the things Masque did was to create and environment free of this to basically eliminate this barrier. I try to keep it out of this thread as much as possible. Normally I would just have a mod erase a negative post, I have already done this several times. I choose to reply to yours instead because your posts are intelligent and reasonable.

    Now was what you said bad, no, did it need to be said, no. I said that that post served a purpose it wasn't me just being carebear, and that I would appreciate you not diminishing that purpose. That put you on the defensive. So I am now saying to you there is a reason I try to keep this thread positive, and have stated that reason. It is my hope people who want to learn PvP will look to this thread and only see positive things. Yes they will run into the **** talk eventually but by then they will have a basic understanding of PvP and that will no longer be a barrier.

    You could have just said I can appreciate what you guys are doing here and left at that.

    Lighten up. Fast.
    Giving a disclaimer first doesn't make it any less trollish

    It's the same as saying something bad and putting a smile at the end to make it all right.

    People don't like to come to meetings where there are no matches I was trying to give positive reinforcement to assure future attendance and would appreciate you not giving it a negative connotation of me treating them like children.

    Great meeting, cub-scouts, and a fun snack afterwards!
    Being positive and supportive is bad how?
  20. Looking for team FUB's to get in a practice Wednesday at 9:30pm. If you can't make this let me know.

    As for creating a league on another server, it is almost counter-productive at this point due to a concentrated amount of players now being situated on Champion. Bear in mind that I am not such an individual that would attempt to pull away from the group of players on one server to strengthen my league/agenda/what have you. Therefore, I find it better to increase a playerbase for an ongoing league and keep that level of PvP in place on one server.

    Also, someone made a point about our team coming back and participating in Kickballs, Practice matches.

    We have discussed this at length and concluded that if we brought a full team back to actively play and practice with the other active league teams outside of the league itself, all of the teams would refuse to practice with us, with the exception of Liberty's team.

    I think Mah's team would play with you, can't say for sure but they don't seem to shy away from the teams that will roll them.

Exit asked about advertising the PvP league on other servers and in the PvP forums, but was specifically told not to and that this PvP league was for Champion server players. Artic advertised it all over anyway.

    How many of the 8 people that want to join ever played on Champion outside of a PvP league?
    Well in that case half the people in the current league should quit including myself.

    And I know at least 1 of them played on champion as I did a few TF's with Silit last champion league.

    Also I thought this was to give the boot campee's their first league, but that may have been a misunderstanding on my part.

    So the welcoming attitude works, if I had met with Celestial Lords attitude my main would have been transfered back to Justice or Freedom.

    I kept my main on Champion after meeting people like yourself, Sinny and Enigma. I also now have like 5 50's there since I was lvl'ing stuff for the last league.

    I don't think I've really got the energy to keep going back and fourth like this. I'll pester the CAPE guys and see what they say.
    I would adress your concerns directly to Mah and Cherry as they are the ones making the rules and running the league.

    It doesn't really matter who says yes or no since they have the final say.
