Well, guys, I think we've had a good break without any scrimmages and I think it would be a good time to organize a new one. I think the main reason why we didn't have a new one coming after the last one as there's been fairly little interest - but if we'd actually show that we're interested in doing this, my assumption is that we'd see a new scrim coming. So, who would be interested in reigniting this project?

Yeah don't know how many regs are gonna see this as most don't come to the forums on the reg like I do, and no masskid fuck off. We said balanced teams not everyone stack one side and laugh.

yeah, but they don't want you lol.

CYBER
10-14-2012, 10:48 AM
yeah, but they don't want you lol.us mexicans are lone riders.

U know, until we get that at taco tacos or taco bell. Jokes aside, i do have a concern about how teams are usually balanced, it's based on stats whereas it should be based on individual assesment based on compabitibity with their team and on their reputation and success rate in games.
With opposite stats, someone might be a better laid-back late-game clutcher (tom comes to mind) and another is more of an early game agressive pressure gaming (old me).

Stats dnt mean shit in wcs, it depends on how they play. My kdr goes downhill sometimes if i was playing vaga and i get respawned with the fucking left hand glitch 3 times in a row.

Blah blah, all im asking is that this time u look beyond stats, and more about how members fit in teams based on their daily gameplay, and how they play with other members.

When u go into the server and see 2 players on 2 different teams, sometimes u prefer joining the guy with the lower kdr bcos u play well with them.

I'd face off against against aleko and wolf or masskid or ronnie anytime, but i'd hate going head to head with tom bcos he understands my gaming, and he has barely half their kdr lol...

And as for spasm? He used to scare the living fuck out of me in game, when i used to see his nametag, i couldnt focus on killin him bcos id be thinking about how i was gonna die lol. But even now, i'd rather go against spasm on the server (even if he still outmatches me, i'd keep rotating tactics strategically until i find something that works.) and spasm is a fun guy to bash heads in game with. Tom is just an asshole lol

Nway, im gonna go back to studying, bcos im rambling as usual.

maynard
10-14-2012, 11:42 AM
you don't have the slightest clue on how I do it.. cause I check peoples stats doesn't mean it's the only factor. Ive never only looked at stats, now stop being a cry baby and be quiet, or ill make sure you're with people you don't wana be with.

Interest. I want Spasm though, need him to carry my failure.

If that's your reasoning, I'd need Tom, Spasm, Aleko, etc. to even begin to offset my fail :headache:

But yeah, I'd be interested :icon_mrgreen:, if nothing more meat shield ftw! On a side note though, seeing as this will not be in the next week or two (most likely), put me in as a REG player. Cancelling admin-ship for a while again. TIME TO PRACTICE!

Not really. If they're responding here, it shows that they're interested. There may be more potential players who might be interested and just haven't seen the thread, but those people who have expressed themselves in the thread would indicate interest, thus the reply.

I asked what days work best for people and gave 2 options... people were talking about days that were not in the given options, and past that like 3-4 people commented... so in short. there's no plan for a scrim given no one has shown interest or made a move regarding what's going 2 work best for them.

Well, whenever the next scrim is decided, I'll dish out some better prizes than in the past. (Not just bragging rights)

Depending on how many people will be in the next scrim, prizes will be anything from reserved slot to games like Far Cry 3 and Black Ops 2.

I really don't think that prizes are the issue here - from what I've seen after talking with quite a few people, most of them just actually want to play in a competitive scrim. Then again, those type of rewards would most definitely bring in more people in the fray.

It not really an issue if people are interested, its more of an issue of getting them off their perverbial ass and posting something on the forums. I mean 3 times more people voted in the poll than responded to it, I'm gonna try and get the people i see in the server to actually post something here, and if there are tangible prizes, that could be a good motivating tool.

There's not much we can do. As community, we've shown interest and now we can only hope that higher ups will have some time to organize it some day. I do like that you and some others keep reminding them, but I'd not get my hopes too high any time soon.

maynard
01-06-2013, 06:04 PM
actually as a community you didn't show interest.... I finally agreed 2 throwing it together, and gave the timeline and asked what of specific days would work best... and like what... 4 people responded....

getting people 2 say "oh sure! id like 2 scrim" and getting them 2 commit 2 a date are 2 diff things.

StarsMine
01-06-2013, 06:25 PM
Many people are interested, there is however no one willing at this time to spend the time to be the leader of the movement.
Im sorry maynard but it probably would have been better to just set a date instead of giving a vague week, because for many of us who had the week off any day would be fine. Then it just feels silly to comment any day is fine. The only people who needed to post were the people who could not do some day in the week.

I understand that and want to make another run at the thing, but rather than spooking people with the length of the thread and all the hemming and hawing I thought it would be good to clean it up a bit rather than making a whole new thread for a scrimmage.

maynard
01-06-2013, 06:41 PM
I gave the option of 2 days, and asked which is better for those who applied. 4 people or so replied cause people were going and forcing people 2 come on and show support online for a scrim... but that doesn't work out so well when it comes time 2 actually make plans. I even gave ample time for replies...

don't put it on me.


@what

there is no problem making the additional thread 2 show people who are interested. but when time comes 2 apply, and put down when they wana play... they need 2 do it. half of the people who said they wana play said they want 2 do it on dates that were not even the provided hosted times lol...

StarsMine
01-06-2013, 06:45 PM
im sorry I was not trying to put everything on you. I and most people(I can only assume) seemed confused as to where things were going, I mean that poll on top is like a month old, It was not very clear.
Next time something like this is attemted clearer leadership would be a huge help. If what is interested I am fine with him doing it. As for me, school is starting up and I am having quite a bit of trouble with keeping my GPA up. I dont know how much I can help lead this particular thing when I am on Academic probation.

maynard
01-06-2013, 06:46 PM
how was there not clear leadership? I hosted all the scrims, said I will do it... gave 2 options for dates... and only like 4 people showed interest... even if everyone went with the days I provided which they didn't... it wasn't even enough people for one 5 man team....

Well, the actual book was about the Western front. Other than that, Remarque is one of my favourite authors and I've read most of his books at least twice. IMHO, this one was one of his weaker ones too. Have you ever read the Black Obelisk or 3 Friends?

sorry, i should have clarified. damn good book we were forced to read for school. when compared to dubliners and other such things, it was a fucking godsend. i'd say, 6/10. would not read again. (most books we had to read were 2 or 3/10, would gladly burn again)

Fair enough. I'd rate 7.5/10 or 8/10 whereas some of the others are 9's and 10's. The only author for me personally that matches his brilliance is Tolkien and *maybe* G. R. R. Martin.

If you guys are just gonna bring up a thread that's been dead and revived over and over for the past 5 months, why not re-evaluate your approach. These sort of posts don't help your cause if you do want a scrimmage to happen...

Organization has been the issue for this not following through, has it not? There needs to be constant participation between the people on the server and those organizing the event through the forums if you want this to happen sooner rather than later.

1) Discuss the idea with people on the servers and get a consensus as to when everyone is available (ex: College term is ending for me, as I imagine it is for many others)
2) Once you've gotten a feel for their availability, re-approach clan members (through private chats, not threads) and give them your pitch, offering your data of the date(s) that work well for server regulars.
3) START A NEW THREAD - referencing this one if you wish - giving a general outline of A) Who wants to participate, B) The maps/how teams will work after working it out with clan and C) How players should post their application for the scrim. When comparing this scrim thread to the past successful one, there was a well-formulated process going into the discussion, as opposed to asking who's interested which constantly digressed discussions.
4) CONSTANTLY bring it up in the servers. Encourage players to get on the forums, upload their apps as soon as possible so dates don't come and go, resulting in a 5 month thread duration of unsuccessful planning.

This would be my suggestion to making things happen, as opposed to "dusting off" old threads without any new organized planning taking place. I'm not trying to be a dick, but rather realistic that when a thread is posted to begin an event, it should already be 70-80% organized by the people participating in it. The thread is to make it legit and update important relevant information to the event.

Hope to see some progress made, as I'm still just as interested as when it was brought up at the beginning.

I would agree with you, Chef, if we'd have not tried quite a few of these. I'll answer all of your points, but in case I'm wrong, I'd be more than glad to admit and get this working some way.

1. This has been done and I still do this with quite a few people (including regulars, admins, ULAs and even clan). I've been trying to rouse the community somewhat but without maynard willing to organize it (or pass it to someone else from clan who'd be willing), we're at an impasse.

2. This has been done and I know that at least 2 (With another few being interested) clan members that have been very interested in this idea and who want this to happen, but again, we have someone who has committed to the organization of the Scrim, yet lately doesn't have time to do anything about it.

3. This has been tried and the threads have been shutdown with me (or others) being told by Maynard that this there can only be one thread at the time and that ONLY clan can organize it (which means admins and ULA's are also excluded from organization).

4. This is a good suggestion and something probably should be done about this. I do bring it up every now and then, but I could do it much more often and just get some other people to do it as well.

So yeah, I completely agree that there is too little organization, but we seemed to have something going, but then the person who took it up just disappeared. Furthermore, Chef, you must remember that we (as in non-clan or nobodies) can't make the official thread or even another thread as we were not allowed to do that.

Quick question to Maynard: are we going to have signup sheet or is it just going to be who shows and then scramble? Are we allowed to make teams or should we wait for a the organizer to draw the teams?

NOPE, not that time of the month yet, i thought we talked about this, hoe.

but let's face it... I'm almost usually the forced volunteer when it comes to unstacking teams just because i feel bad for the other team sometimes... not that it helps bcos i'm not that great of a player compared to the others who happen to always be the stackers.
