Okay then. I just wanted to make sure there was no problem with us adding his real global to our roster since it wasn't listed before.

If you'll get in game, I need to discuss some roster stuff with you anyway.

They made a movie out of that video game? lol

lol You can blame me for part of that, Slax. h0j and I were chatting while everyone else was talking, and he asked me who the heavy breather was. I told him that I thought it was you-that you darth vadered like that sometimes and that you were also like 6'8" and might have a lightsaber too. So then he said something about expecting to hear the darth vader song (he made fun of me for not knowing immediately what it was-emperial march or something like that), so I was like "you should totally find that and play it on vent and say it's for Slax in your comment thing." It was all in good fun, though, so don't get mad and yell at me; I had really bad lag and should've rebooted.

or I macro?

Yeah, just increase the drop rate for the stupid things. I don't think there have been any glad jav procs on the market for days...and if I already had mine and happened to get 1 from a drop, why would I bother putting it on the market? I'd probably be smarter if I sold it off-market for even more crazy inf since the demand is obviously really high. But our devs' solution is to try to limit the supply even more? mkay

Slax, we had a league captains meeting last night after you had logged; Lib missed the first part but was in for the rest. But yeah, I voted for us.

Also, it sounds like it could take a bit to go through the stuff tonight...I think we're discussing spankings and time-outs for things like touching each other when we've asked not to be touched and for tattling. I proposed just making anything controversial require a captain's meeting and majority vote, but I think people were afraid that would result in Silit's castration or something along those lines. So yeah, that got shot down along with proposing that dUmb just be declared legaue weiner, having pizza for lunch every day in the cafeteria, and putting a soda machine in the hallway.

Does anyone know what the standings are now?

While organizing has meant a lot of time and effort, I have personally had a lot of fun getting to know our D6 squad. I agree that we've found some PvP'rs that have really gotten into what we're doing and have grown in knowledge and ability, so regardless of league drama or whatever, the league has definitely been successful in at least 1 way IMO.

Tying the D6 and D8 points together has its pros and cons. On one hand, it forced some teams to really work with draftees that might never have seen the mentoring they've received otherwise. On the other hand, I'd guess that there has been some discouragement of some newer players from teams because of their potential to hurt line-ups and, in turn, overall standings. If there's a second league, it's something we should really try to work on...whether it's separating divisions, changing point scoring, changing player drop guidelines, or whatever else.

First after rare Pixel post.

Yeah, I'm not offended anyway, but dUmb's goal is definitely not to create lag. We're still pretty lolzy with Jump teams, so the targetting and storm disruption has produced our best chances at winning.

The rescheduling thing is certainly not fun, which is why we stated we wouldn't be rescheduling any more-just too difficult to get people together for us on unofficial league nights. I don't think a lot of people realized until fairly recently that last night's match was going to be on Easter Sunday. I can see the points from every side, honestly: short notice may've been the best the one team could've done, since maybe individual players had short-notice, rl plans; on the other hand, some on the other team could've shortened plans or changed them in order to make it because of no mention earlier of postponing.

All the problems from last night stemmed from lack of foresight when the rules and schedule was created. And that's not meant to bash the efforts of the people that collectively came up with that stuff-just that some things are always going to either be forgotten or not thought of when getting something like this together, regardless of how thorough you think you're being. What we're left with now, though, are teams from different sides that are going to be miffed about taking losses for reasons they will argue are not right...whether by stated, written rules or by what those rules were meant to achieve when written (but failed to do so).

I'd be for 8v8 D6 matches with 3 D8'rs allowed per round; it keeps the D6'rs in the majority while making the match size increase easier on teams with low D6 numbers.

GGs And yeah, the offensive storm/MM team is pretty good on the lab map. Fun matches this week all the way around-had a good time.

dUmb can usually field 10+

Nah, I was just asking if that's what you were getting at and then giving an argument against it if anyone was actually thinking so. But no, lag spiking is definitely not the goal for us; targetting annoyance, yes, but lag-spiking, no. We hate lag as much as anyone.

See you guys tonight! glhf <3

I'm sure all the added observers didn't help the lag; a lot of people that would've been busy with their own matches on regular match night were present and observing (in addition to others that showed up for other reasons). I was laggy in the beginning of all 3 rounds and also had a couple of mapserves after PvP was over. Yes, MMs can cause more lag, but we ran what should've been a more lag-heavy lineup in last week's officials...but there seemed to be less lag that night. Are you implying that we won those rounds because of lag? Lag works both ways...and is actually probably worse for those within the storms/pets, etc.

If original team names were used and the standings were different, then we could potentially see "BURPEd" right there.

Bad pool?

GGs last night, INoANN/team previously known as BoBC/Rick's team. Those were some crazy rounds and weird scores. Your damage-heavy Jump team in that second round gave us the worst beating in an official thusfar (and by far).

Not that we want to be jerks, but we're making this the last reschedule of match dates and times (and no, we don't mean starting a little late sometimes, etc.). We have several players that have pretty set schedules, so the Sunday and Thursday night times are what works best for them. We'll likely be playing without players (on the reschedule night) that were present and ready last night. I hate taking a forfeit more than anyone, but rescheduling for other teams is unfair to our players that have stuck to their commitments. (Personally, I cut a visit short in order to honor a lolvideogame commitment for last night.) I know that if we are short on D8 players, we have D6'rs ready to fill in on match nights; maybe it means not having our best players in, but we'll never take a forfeit or ask for rescheduling.

Again, we're not lolmad at anyone or whatever. It's just unfair to ask our players to reschedule, and it's inconvenient and unwanted additional effort on our parts to figure out addtional days/times for a reschedule.

I was actually just talking about dUmb there; we've been unnecessarily confused at least a couple of times over things that were spelled out in the OP. Our team name is appropriate I guess.

Also, for all PvP dUmbies: we have PvP practice tonight. We have scrimmages set up for later. I posted it on the GP site and the in-game dUmb channel MOTD yesterday, so see you there or no cookies.

What is missing besides Silit calling you that thing he always calls you?

Have we had any drama that wasn't the direct result of our inability to read? (I'm not counting Russian-related drama.)
