Do we even have enough active players to schedule a Riker's type event????

I like that idea, Jacko.
While Rikers has typically been skilled euro vs skilled NA, it would be nice to have an event that is more inclusive of players.

Going to try an LTS on zaphod's Ocut map.
when: Friday, the 13th. 9pm gmt
where: ahs3.openleague.net 5191

Lots of fun if lots of tanks show up.

I took care of it. All known refs are on ref list on bzbb and should have perms as well as the cops.

I take issue with morf's screenshot of a private chat between brad and kitten that took place about 2-3 wks ago. Only submitting a few lines doesn't show that both players (knowing kitten )were probably engaging in similar conversation. If kitten wants to complain, that is one thing and let him do s...

the pink brit: XXX, why do you even bother. Just leave. You could put any number of names here and find that they have done just that. Many wonder, where are menotume, ep, zaphod, upsetter, ts, etc etc etc. I'll tell you what some of them have told me, they got tired of dealing with some of the beh...

Since you're so keen on activity over a decent community atmosphere, to operate within the constraints of the rules, the options are: 1. mute/kick/ban for language: which we have discussed here is not done across the board amongst admins. 2. Institute a mute banlist : requires constant updating sinc...

FiringSquad: I also live in a society where "foul language" is prevalent. It's part of my baggage and that flavours my decisions. While i can see that you are probably used to using /seeing this language, let me use this analogy. On the autobahn, you can drive with high speeds. That is th...

Why not do a trial run for about 3 months. If ts can modify the gu site so that match length is part of the information entered, we then can see if it's popular enough to make the change permanent.

pinkbrit: Ahs3 someone just said "i effing blow" on a gu server while you were watching. 2 things: 1. Many of you will sit on a server but be afk, or chatting with someone, or have chat minimized while matching. Same goes for admins. By the same token, many admins warn in private pm to th...

I daresay we forget that we get to play on servers that someone else has set up, paid for and then allows us to enjoy them. BC may not play gu often but he hosts several servers for duc, gu, pillbox that no doubt your mates, pinkbrit, have utilized to match on. So, he has every right to enter into t...

GU should institute a mute banlist for chronic abusers of language/harassment/troll like chat etc. They could still match and the community would be spared their nonsense. Yes, it will impact the team dynamics...but such is life. An outright ban impacts the team as well. Till ppl learn manners and r...

Rikers was fun! Thanks to all the players on the team, to the server hosts for supplying the servers to play on, to the obs for being there supporting the league, and thank you to FS and our co-captains who helped make this happen this year! You guys rock! FS: My inexperience in Rikers was obvious. ...

for the record, I'm not creative. I was just thinking about Match-a-thon being a good idea - just trying to recall the particulars of that tourney.

Actually been thinking about this, Zac. Thanks for bringing it up.
Let's get past Rikers.

They needed a female to set them to straights, dw!

We do our talking on the battlefield.
Bring ear-plugs. It will be loud, punishing and relentless. (until we're so far ahead you'll need Google to find us)

Projected date is Sunday, January 22nd, around 8pm UTC or 20:00:00.
Team Europe captain: FiringSquad
Team North America captain: kierra

Co-captains tba.

I have contacted several North American players regarding Rikers, January 2012.
Are there any euros interested in playing in Rikers????? If so, nudge your euro gu admins to get them choosing a euro captain....then onto choosing the players.

would you add:
GU-LEAGUE.COPS

Thank you, catay for all your hard work finding the bugs in the code and getting the plugin functional for 1vs1 league on 2.4.
