Cmon people!

Hey who picked euro teams earlier this year?
Idiot.

Ofcourse I am aware. My point was who cares? Perhaps just 1 vs 1 timelimit for hix would be better as I agree on ducati 1 vs 1 is alot faster. As for deserving their spot, I did mention in my post that there's another page setup for previous champions but perhaps we shouldn't only look at the past a...

I think it may bring some activity back, also there's like 7 active players in the top 50 and the rest of them either are genuinely inactive or don't match just cause they don't wana lose zelo. The top 1 player is perfectly active on BZFLAG yet matched 3 times in 2011, has yet to match in 2012. I th...

What is all this about punishment, shouldn't it be rehabilitation so it doesn't happen again?
It's proven by the fact people have been banned maybe 3 or 4 times one after the other that bans don't work.

Frank why do you even bother. Just leave.

I wouldn't give people the idea they can just plan to forfeit at 20 mins. Makes the 30 minute matches rule obsolete.

There's only so many times someone on this post can say "Rules are rules". We're basically discussing how bans seem to effect the activity of the league. I think the muting would be a good compromise. Saves alot of hassle and keeps the league activity more or less the same. I keep seeing a...

It's a better punishment if you can't talk in a match than not being able to match at all.

A few days ago Frank banned me for interrupting a match. I said a few words, then noticed a countdown and said in obs, "is this offi?" someone said yes, I said "oh sorry". Banned for I think 500 minutes? Bad language is one thing, joining a server, making a mistake, noticing the ...

Not true, the new plugin on openleague "last man standing" converts a player to an observer

Anyway I thought it was better to talk about this stuff, agree or disagree. I think some people are getting the idea that i'm fighting or something when i'm just saying how I see it from my point of view. I play alot and talk to most players in the league. I'm not going to have any more to do with t...

Ahs3 someone just said "i effing blow" on a gu server while you were watching. That is basically enough to get people banned on a gu server these days. Do you not understand now? We know the rules but the bans are silly. They don't help they just create more anger. Kierra it's not the poin...

Grace for instance I say exceptional on a server with errr idk, firing squad, and he doesn't ban me, gives me a light warning to calm down. Then I say wtf on a server with brad and he bans me. How is this a message? So admins make their own rules basically? I agree to a point and I must say some of ...

I totally agree, we had this /ipmute plugin on xleague, I'm sure Muri would be happy to give it up. It basically mutes the ip for 24 hours, there is also /ipunmute. Unless you want to just change perms on the website, might make more sense as her plugin only did 24hours it didn't have the option to ...

Well I'm just saying, admins are being alot more strict recently. I like alot of the admins and I don't want them to think I'm against them, especially kierra. Kierra will need to calm down with bans too but I really think she's a lovely woman :) By the way maybe there should be a "report"...

Tbh the ban quantities are one thing. The activity of the league are another, my team can't function without kitten, he was the one that inspired maybe rude sarcasm but he also inspired the entire team to work with eachother for fun. The team was made with me and Kitten, we made a fun team without p...

Ok well AHS3, I don't disagree with banning for excessive bad language, but some bans recently for saying "wtf" in a match, is unacceptable. To be honest I doubt even half the GU admins would agree to some of these bans. Also it's not just like a public server, gu is like as T-roy said abi...

When I say I don't condone the new website, I do understand the players anger. Just not the abuse! Even though it is a lil funny some of it
Also if this post is removed it kinda just proves you don't want to listen to players.

I've noticed the increase in bans for players that have more activity than 90% of the admins. Look at last couple of months activity and then look at maybe February and March. How is it when the league is dying GU can afford to ban people for a little bad language? Even saying "wtf" gets y...

Red-der I think you would have needed a majority to have pushed a change like that, not that 50%. Why change the system? It won't make a blind bit of difference, 10 minutes. Ducati players are the only ones that want 20 mins and they are mostly getting used to gu's 30 mins anyway. This is GU not DUC...

It's a stupid rule, in all honesty, selectively matching people is ridiculous.
I keep seeing these players only matching noobs cause they know they will win and it's dumb.

Great idea.

I used to do this alot to keep leagues active, the more the better!

Someone come to England!
