Correct like any other fm or offi, players will play if agreed on teams.

@monster your other post said you agree and like the idea but this post you don't

@monster we agree 100% and this is a great opportunity

@kierra if inviduals vs individuals is a no go but you agree that invidiudals vs clan can be acceptable I'm all for a compromise.

Monster: the individuals aren't being rewarded like the clan is with points, it's a fair way to balance official matches. The only team in that official that would win their max points would be the team with both clan mates on it. If we are focusing on just a player elo which is solo based why not a...

@kierra I don't understand how you can be against team matching when not as many mates are online but be interested in just a player elo system in a team game format. There are many games when 1 player can earn their team points. And no it wouldn't be just 1 player doing all the work for matches. Th...

Outstanding write up, I think this is a great idea and it's the best we are going to get. It literally combines the best of both worlds. It would be an amazing experience to be able to play with players like consti who are not on my team for an official match while staying on my current clan. I ask ...

So llrr and myself are brain storming ways to create some more activity, balance official matches, and have larger official matches. Please see the idea below: ------------------------------------------- Kind of combing llrr' idea with mine here we go!!! :) Bad company proposes a match: miro, Zaa an...

I think matching as individuals should also not just lose personal elo but their clans should also lose points. The loss of points would be devided up evenly. So if you official singularly your clan gains point and loses points upon a loss. You won't win as many points as a unit or lose as many poin...

I think I understand what you are saying. So if bad company: miro, zaa, and. Monster would like to offi llrr, kierra, and etigah And: llrr, kierra and etigah win the offi their elo and their respective clans would receive points for winning the official match? and if they lose their elo would either...

Llrr: my idea does promote more competition. Yesterday Miro, zaa, monster and kajo were all online. With our current format no one could even match up 4vs4 to them skill wise. With our current format there wasn't even a team on while they were online.. so my idea solves many things. Team A matches b...

After further brain storming I'm thinking my second idea could work rather well.. All players remain in their current clan. All players are split up to A,, B, and C or maybe just Team A for a general pool What this does it allows team a to match team b incase there is no suitable clans around Or Tea...

See I'm not a big fan of individual ranking.. I feel like I'm ranking up my personal tank in a team game. I don't play for my own stats. If we did elo statistic for personal skill I am not opposed to running that stat line, but if that's the case delete all teams and create teams just A and B and or...

Allejo: pretty sure trepan is c3po former dev?
Wow, that map has been out for 12 years already I remember when he launched it..
I just think adding more options doesn't fix the problem the most active teams probabaly won't play it.. babel is played in a official probabaly a couple of times a month.

Llrr: I play ctf because it's a team based game which compliments both teammates. Sounds like that ranking system is based off of once own skills. I'll use etigah for an example he might not be the best 1v1 player but he's a damn good teammate who can grab the flag really well. I really have no need...

Consti: you have done a lot for the game and league, we wouldn't be where we are with your dedication along with a few others. Unfortunately the league is at a point when we all must sacrifice a little. What if llrr didn't have this team where would these players be joining? He is a strong player so...

Consti: I've Played a long time and I have put many hours into teammates too.. I've Skyped, practiced/trained and done it all. I think right now the league needs players all to sacrifice something. I wouldn't want to play with all noobs but maybe with 1 or 2 other preferred players could work like i...

Active admins: Team A: qd and consti. ebert, mr toast, 02345 Team B: Indy and bunthy, frimouse, Team c: bertman shuist and etigah, gort, Team D: kierra, mopar, hotshot, nth, blinky/Chris, metro, veranderon, Team E: llrr, ccb, dead turtle, rabbit, runruns, Now we backfill the rest we ask the remainin...

@indy, no one is saying oh we are going to force players to consolidate teams. But if one team doesn't do it what's preventing admins from doing it? Tron: Indy and bunthy Now bertman is an admin why doesn't he leave tron and create his own team? Team B: bertman hogfish and firing squad All you have ...

Curious what the percentage break down of maps ayed between offis and then offis and fm.. got one allejo?

Eh.. I believe c3po made it way back or blast? Anyways that part isn't relevant. I'm not a big fan of it and I vote no.

There are plenty of active admins that could take initiative and begin the process without forcing people to merge.... So instead of my above template you replace it with the most active admins and branch it out.. In theory we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.. I don't understand the hesi...

@bertman to early in the stage? It has been discussed numerous times in the last 2 years...when's supposed to be the time when it's really to late? Yah what llrr has done is great, unfortunately no one else has been willing to do it all at the same time and there isn't anymore players to add..

And that's an issue that we need to resolve as a league constitution, we don't want to lose players like you from offing. You are a very skilled player and losing players like you only hurts. I understand the reasoning why of course..the goal is to have fun offing, competitive balanced matches is wh...

The league is more active than what it has been in recent time, which is great to see. With that comes some problems, there is a lot of unskilled players in the league which is to be expected. In order for the league to grow we need to recruit new players which aren't usually going to be good. Curre...
