2013 Squad League

[Idanmel]

[quote="Dome"]NI's perspective:
-Chose ff in previous matches, heard no objection
-ff counters insanely OP two man belter 250 mps bomb runs
-besides that, ff does little to impact game (cept gt)
-this is a game of countering your opponent
-if we have settings we should get to choose our settings

RT's perspective:
-Squad game conventions
-"must be agreed upon by both sides"

It is true that NI violated the unwritten gentlemens agreement convention. To be honest I didn't even know about the convention list til after the drama started. That said, I still think ff should be able to be turned on by the team with settings. If the senate vote determines otherwise I will abide by the rule.

To be clear: NI was in the wrong forcing ff on.
However, imo ff should be allowed.

It's very sad for me to hear that this is actually the case... that players in NI have driven away players in RT from the game. I can say personally that I never intended to make the game less fun for anyone. Drama has always been a part of this game. Differing perspectives and motivations drive squad dynamics and communication between squads. It's hilarious at times. It's always entertaining. We can get caught up in it and the competition at times but at least for me there is always an underlying sense of community, even given all our antics. There are pilots in NI that really love this game and are actively trying to keep it going and improve it. Can RT not see those players and what they are worth? Have we become so estranged?

Fwiw Masta quit the squad. My relationship with Masta is much like my relationship with Allegiance. Taken with a large grain of salt.

Anyways I hope it's not too late to get you guys back. RT is resilient! Allegiance needs you.
also K10 joined the Israeli army and anyways he said he was leaving if Masta quits haha.

I really hope we can get you guys back.
Allegiance needs RT.
you are a cornerstone.[/quote]

He also said that the squad game rules for the league will be written down with clarity, and that ff would be off.

Nice post from Dome there. Thanks for passing it on.

I think it was in reaction to me saying on the OC that Masta plus NI's antics last year was helping to drive RT's away from Allegiance (which was met with the responses I expected - insults and mockery).

To not realise that one man's "darama is part of the game" is another man's "stuff this I'll go play something else" shows a lack of maturity... but to recognise and accept this later on is a sign of maturity.

+1 for what the whise man above me said.

When i think about it. Yes, NI drove me away from allegiance and i still dont feel like coming back ... (besides some SGs when i have the time)

[Gandalf]

Well, come along on Sunday!

[Adept]

[quote="Dome"] NI vs Sysx and MEC/RT/PK vs BS/SF, Feb 3rd

The Superbowl is a good two and a half hours after SGT and thus shouldn't be a problem.

I would really like to keep Feb 10th available for a community wide event so please try to get as many players as possible this weekend to avoid rescheduling.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY. Tell your dudes if you haven't already! [/quote]

From what I heard BS/SF usually have a decent amount of players so get on on Sunday and play!

[Gandalf]

We may be teaming up with BS/SF instead of MEC for the rest of the tourney, to enable more people to play. Discussions are ongoing. Next league match is 17th Feb.

[Phantom032]

We are now offically paired with BS/SF.
Apparently Dome wants to have the league last longer now with the changed teams (basically a fresh start)



So - see you guys on Sunday.

[quote="chakotae"]I would like to invite RT into our alliance meeting room on the BS forums at http://blackshadow.org click on forums tab, and then register. Once you register I will grant access to the alliance meeting room. This is where BS/SF and RT can chat about upcoming games. Please let me know if you have any issues getting registered.

Thanks,
Chak

Are the numbers for the SGs looking okay or are their a lot of people sitting?

[Phantom032]

yesterday we were down 1-2 all game. Not sure how many MECs/PKs had to sit in addition to that.

[Sindertone@RT]

Just got logged into this forum after noticing a League happening. I had forgotten when they were. I hope to come to the games.. trying to remember everything..

[FIZ]

Oooooh, can you bring back the avatar that got complained about on allegiance.  With the trumpets and the green and the booties?

[Phantom032]

As the game vs NI was won by the server saturday April 6th has been suggested to replay the game - another option being May 26th (sunday). I can't be bothered to do an extra poll here so anyone who doesnt want to/can't play saturday (but does want to play when it happens) will have to post here.
