comon ender.

So, now if we can convince DA, AC, TIW and TENC to play for team 2, we should have balanced forces.

Looking at the teams, does anyone else think it looks stacked toward Team 1?

I really just want to listen to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

post rosters, listen to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, post date for planning for upcoming match

Setting up for the match, presumably.

What's this meeting wednesday about?

im curious, if both teams abide by the same 'non stacked' rule, how is it any less competitive a match?

/shrug

Shock told me in Vegas that FCRW probably won't be playing in the Connery match, they have little interest.

So who is actually excited about the Connery match? There is an interest thread on reddit, but id like to hear more about your feelies.

I can understand not being appreciated. I had really hoped that everyone understood we failed across the board last match, and would have like an opportunity to redeem ourselves. I missed much of the internal aftermath, and knew there was some, but didnt know it hit the levels you are hinting at.

Negator I understood just fine, it's not your fault they have minimal reading comprehension. Not the reason we don't really want to play, it really just comes down to the fact that since there is so much interest in it now (Compared to SS#1) there are tons of outfits that don't really care about doing well, they just want to be in it to be in it. When you get blasted an entire match (not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fun at all but a necessary evil somewhere on the map) due to force distribution and take additional heat for it constantly afterwards (as if somehow Plt.1s players suddenly became terrible), it doesn't leave a good taste in your mouth. I'll take ♥♥♥♥ when it's deserved, and can overlook quite a bit of ♥♥♥♥ even if it's coming from people who don't understand = numbers comp well. When you're not only not appreciated, but also given ♥♥♥♥ for taking the brunt of the force, there's 0 incentive to continue competing with players who are ignorant and don't give a single ♥♥♥♥ about winning. Not fun.

Got it. Let me know if/how I can help.

the server basis was only to serve as a loose skeleton, not an end all/be all. Currently just goign to pull from 2 hats comprising old server lines, then readjust to keep balance.

Has it been discussed at all to just field teams not based on server? Just a competative format with five-platoon teams, comprised of whoever. I'm sure there would still be problems but in the end a lot more people would be able to compete.

thats too bad. I wish i had worded my statements differently. ♥♥♥♥ SOVU.

Also, I don't want to spark up more drama than necessary so I'll post this here instead of there. DA isn't really interested in the drama thats become server smash. Too many people, too many people that just want to play to play.. being the competitive person I am and the personal respect I have for anyone who leads outfits in any way, I don't want to become frustrated with something completely outside of my ability to influence. We all play the game in our own way and thats how it should be, but certain things work better than others in situations where there are publicly clear winners/losers and I can't help but get stressed when I know that some players will be there just to say they played in a SS and winning the actual match is simply an afterthought.

It's become clear that SS is not designed to foster an actual competitive situation and its much more akin to a youth soccer league where everyone gets a medal for playing. That mindset drives me absolutely crazy and instead of allowing an opportunity for drama and resent DA is simply going to withdraw from the events.

I apologize for whoever takes offense to this, I simply wanted to explain my reasoning behind us withdrawing from SS's because it was a mostly a good experience and I appreciate all the time everyone has put into the organiztion and execution of the prior two smashes.
