Love the survey; I think it's a fantastic idea and pretty holistic after all the proposed edits. Also, someone else mentioned this on the bans page (Mlg or monst perhaps) and I thought it was a fantastic idea. Perhaps have another choice that reads: -Retain bans for players removed from both leagues...

Seems like there are some people who need to have 1-on-1 conversations to avoid cluttering this forum with the passive-aggressive speak I see above. It'd be nice to keep this place efficient and productive. I second the movement allejo made about delaying the decision/personnel of ruling admins. So ...

I'm on board with BC's idea. It gives the whole league a chance to submit their input for this idea and test it out like a trial run. One minor detail with adding ducati style in exhibition mode, though, is I'm not sure it'll change anything. If people want to play ducati style, they'll just go to t...

That's a fair point - I guess at the very least we could handle unbanning people on a case by case basis like others suggested. There's a good chance most people banned 5 years ago when they were hotheaded high school/college students grew up a bit since then. If they were banned a long time ago and...

Yeah, another thing that should be discussed is the consolidation of teams. You'd have to have new teams, and that kinda ruins the historic teams on both duc/GU such as VBz, FF, EiE, BZB, T42, BoOm, whatever other old teams exist at the bottom of the page.

Couple thoughts on this: A) Hidden/not hidden Hidden cops/admins are useful in public servers because there are several new people who visit the server who wouldn't know who the admins/cops are. In a tight-knit group like the league, this effect would only really be useful for the first week or so u...

Completely agree with kierra (.75, 1, 1.5 for duc; .67, 1 for GU)

IMO, indefinite bans are pretty ridiculous in these times when there aren't enough people to keep the league active. 1-year ones, etc. are fine and after the fact, each player in the league can individually choose whether or not they want to match the previously banned player. People won't judge the...

Agree on there only being a spawnonly group. For someone who wants to join an fm, they can just rejoin with that as his/her callsign. Obviously, there has to be a limit to that so it's not abused to have conversations and spam people's screens with constant rejoins, but yeah, it's easily monitored

i mean right now it's segregating anyone not eu or na. trying to be more inclusive without being all-inclusive isn't being more discriminatory than what we're doing right now...even if the group still left is oceania

There's been enough debate on this. Put it to a vote with a few options:
1. Keep it the same - NA vs. EU
2. NA vs. Eurasia
3. West vs. Rest with lag limits

Admins, get it done! Make a poll like last time

Yeah, I guess in the back of my mind I thought there should be a lag limit eventually. And an Aussie/Kiwi on a European server (excess of 400) would be pushing it. I guess for lag's sake, if Aussies were added, it would make sense to have all matches on a USA server since added lag is really what ma...

That this may only affect Roo for this Riker's is a fair one to point out. In my opinion, there are a couple reasons he should be able to play. One is that he's really close to Europe such that the difference in lag between him and his mates wouldn't be that high. The second is that because of the t...

I agree with all facets of ken's posts. The lag limit's a good idea because it helps with making riker's at least a little more inclusive and therefore more fun while at the same time not adding an extra wrinkle that could be problematic. The thing that I'd have to say about higher lag in a match is...

true, there would be nothing to stop a team from reporting multiple fake matches. i'm saying if universal reporting were implemented, it would be on the team who the match was against to report it - then the winning team would have to say which server it was on and after that, checking the replay is...

@allejo: it would be awesome if autoreport were perfected by this weekend - it's awesome that you've been working on this and it is definitely the most elegant and efficient way to report matches. kudos to you! @jh: teams are so fleeting these days - does that mean that every time two/three people m...

Option 2 should say "Fewer", not "Less" :p Well, my take on this is obviously Option 1. Problems to consider: With regards to the massive quantities of reports - well, the number of reports won't change because the number of matches won't change. The only difference would be that...

Well, I'm not going to lie - this is the first time I've actually combed through this forum, and I figured this would be an apt place to post this. Over the past few weeks, I have had increasingly pressing concerns regarding this league, which I figured I would voice in the hope of any deviation fro...

i think it depends on the map. there are maps that really pretty much allow camping and sniping. for example, two tanks. that's definitely a map where people camp and where its intended for you to camp/snipe. but on other maps, its totally stupid and ruins the game.

hehe i remember that my friend told me about it. he played every so often. then i got addicted

i remember the first map i played on very well. its actually still one of my favorite maps. yay louman's lasermania!

i'd have to say that the wings flag is my specialty...although i wouldn't say no to the other team's flag
