Also, sometimes people feel unsatisfied after a 30-min tie and want to rematch, but don't have the time. Having a 10-min sudden death period if the four (or however many) players agree would be a great compromise.

Always believed teams should have a chance to /poll for a sudden-death overtime if it's a tie, but flags would reset. Issue with an /extend 10 is if one team is riiiight about to cap before the countdown ends in a tie, the team that's about to lose would never do that. Alternatively, you could have ...

Agreed. Maybe have two player lists based on sort - by team or by callsign

Like all of it minus maybe the very last part.

Over the past few months, there has been an effort led by GU and Ducati representatives to merge into a single, unified league. Simply put, the Ducati League seems to be all but dead and the GU League is persisting on life support. We hope to maximize activity and eliminate competition between two d...

Cool, let's make this public ASAP

Ah, gotcha. I may have integrated steps 1 and 2 into one big step, but that made it slightly more convoluted.

Can we make this public now? I'm not a big fan of merging the leagues/creating its new structure and leadership behind the majority's back.

In that case, we have: GU - Bullet Catcher, kierra Duc - quantum dot Because BC is also a hoster, I think it's fair to have allejo and brad as the hosters that vote for the GU rep. All 3 hosters would vote yes/no to quantum dot. I know this process seems like a pain, but I feel it's the right way to...

I don't think we should eliminate allejo & BulletCatcher as potential ruling board members. Regarding former board members....there are several for gu: ducatiwannabe was seen recently playing, T-roy, orbit (wasn't really interested in participating here, resigned from both duc/gu admin board ~2...

It seems that we're submitting several votes for the player's choice nomination. In order to move forward, we also need the Ducati and GU representatives. It seems that the lists for possible representatives of each league are rather short if we limit them to current/former (but still active) league...

Many of those who have been suggested as admins did not make clear yet whether they are willing to fill the position...Again, I would suggest allejo for admin and am curious about sn0w_m0nkey, NTH, kierra and Constitution. Finally I'd like to add, that I too think that osta would be a great additio...

Yeah, I didn't know that either. I guess the only way to check is to look at a web archive and hope there's a record of it between the following two links: http://web.archive.org/web/*/guleague.org http://web.archive.org/web/*/guleague.org/Players Kind of a pain, but it's doable so long as the team ...

Lol thanks for the support, guys - I'd definitely be willing.

I'd also like to second the nomination for Frank. I think he'd be a fantastic choice

Right, so miro's saying either the founder or 2-3 members together. If Bad Company, for example, had 3 members (or whatever constitutes a significant enough portion of that team) want to revive it, then it should be done. But I agree that one member shouldn't be able to revive a previous team if it ...

What is the most important reason you are a league member? * to play official matches * to play fun matches * to chat with other league members I'd make it a "choose one" type. It's honestly a combination of the three, with chatting being an important portion. The one thing that leagues h...

I wholeheartedly agree with Frank's posts.

I know we talked about deferring new adminship till after the merger, but if we have those initial 3 people oversee this current process, then they can still choose their structure/new personnel once this is over.

Make it public. I don't even know why this subforum is private in the first place. We're the 30ish who earned the right to establish the new league while others didn't? It seems pretty ridiculous that they get a poll that we made without them and no other input, e.g. whether this should even be done...

My goodness, is there anything League Overseer can't do?

Anyway, that might help quite a bit. At the very least, it'll delay how long it takes everyone to figure out who's what based on the correlation between League Overseer actions and players on a server, heh.

Great ideas. I had a thought that maybe if you're on a team aswell then that team also gets a portion of the points, so, if team A wins and a player is on FF for example, FF gets some points too because really they're not just funmatches and it might promote activity more I think! What do you guys ...

One would think that would train people to just not type profanity in their messages, eh? Haha, if this were the standard in all servers, then perhaps you've got a chance. But people type out profanity regularly, whether it's normal texting, typing on your computer, etc. so it'd still be nigh impos...

I don't really care if there's a language filter or not, but if there is, just don't make it like the one on bzexcess. Whenever you were pm'ing someone a curse in a long message, it'd just return the message back to you and say it couldn't be sent. I remember people having to go back and delete a sp...

With regards to having hidden cops/admins: Remember when that idiot from the Dominican Republic went around servers wreaking havoc and there were a bunch of hidden cops that were instated? How long did it take for the entire league to know which players were part of that? IIRC, it was somewhere arou...

This is a pretty solid idea. You can match for your assigned team if you want and if not, then it's fine. Probably a great way to get large official/quasi-official matches going.

I'm on board.
