Another update:

Looks like we had some good games today. If you didn't get to play your games yet, don't worry, you have all week to get them done. So try your best as team captains to get a time together and get the games done! I want all the teams to stay active and I want to have as few forfeits as possible.

Also, EvilArsenal has really been taking a lot of initiative in this league and has shown a lot of interest in continuing that role in the future. He has been updating his website very regularly, so please keep checking his website and notify him of any error or mistakes.

So for the games coming up this week and the following weeks email the results to: zoldennis5491@Yahoo.com. He is going to handle all the wins/losses for all the teams. (the emails to me this week are fine and those games will be recorded so don't worry about emailing him this week).

I am going to add a couple of clarifications to the rules as well to make sure all the teams can get games in even if they are short players. If you have less than 10 players on your team you can add anyone to your team at any point during the season (up to 10 players). However, once someone plays for a team then they are locked into that team and cannot play for another team.

Also, I need to address cheating. I stated in the first post that I wouldn't be checking account IDs, however, today a player tried to change his name to the same as someone else on a different team. The team was down a player and needed someone but that is not an excuse to try to trick that team into thinking they are playing someone they aren't. Tec27 still has the server logs from all the games and if this is ever suspected again we will start checking server logs to see if people are playing for other teams by changing their names. I didn't want to do this and I shouldn't have to. We are a small community and keeping this league honest shouldn't be a problem.

Why is Mile High listed as having lost both its matches already? We haven't even had a chance to play them yet.

I was under the impression that we were free to reschedule anytime before the next week of matches, which we are in the middle of doing with J.C. and bc09 - let me know if this is wrong.

This will be corrected. Just continue rescheduling your games and email the results when they are played.

If you plan to reschedule though please notify the oppposing team captains ahead of time so people don't show up for nothing.

Yes, this is important. If you are going to reschedule games from here on out (weeks 2-4) you must notify the opposing team's captains ahead of time. I can understand the frustration if a team shows up and the other team doesn't show. However, this is the first week, so I hope the other teams cut a little slack to the other teams. But in the future if you don't give sufficient time to the other teams then it will be considered a forfeit.

So if your team can't make a game don't make a post saying "we can't make our games so get in touch with us." It is your responsibility to get in contact with the other teams.

slip · #**208** 07-20-2009, 05:26 AM

We still havent heard anything from MH, other than you guys are having problems. Get back to us, would be nice if we could get it out of the way and start working on other matches.

Beagle · #**209** 07-20-2009, 06:35 AM

Sorry, I had been discussing times with Bong, and you Slip, so I didn't think we'd left you guys in the dark. If we were responsible for any misunderstandings, I'm sorry.

I will try and get in touch with you guys and finalize a time now.

The VODs of ACE games will be up in a couple of days, just as soon as Tec finishes commentaries. As soon as it's done links will be posted.

Please ignore all this supposed e-drama, it doesn't affect our role in the league one bit.

Aight i know it aint an issue. And I probably had to say "didnt go on"instead of "doesnt go on" cause i know it will be played.

Yeah sorry for the drama lol:s

DaK · #**212** 07-20-2009, 01:52 PM

wow i have a question how can JC add un squadron to their team when he is in mine already and how the f**k did he play last night for them when he wasnt in their roster wow

Vania · #**213** 07-20-2009, 04:26 PM

Can we add a ping limit to the league servers? Say 300?

Some pings where ridiculous last night...

Musicfreak777 · #**214** 07-20-2009, 04:42 PM

sry about the confusion dak. Un didnt inform me that he was on your team. He didnt have your tag and i needed him so he signed up in a jiffy. i updated the roster and we played the match. We can discuss more in the game bcuz i dont like typing like this on the forum but if u really need UN im sure we can work something out. OK? again sry for the confusion and well work this out rite away.

Musicfreak777 · #**215** 07-20-2009, 07:18 PM

The issue of Where UN was playin has been resloved. I have consulted with Dak and he says its ok that i have UN. SO i will now post my new roster since we've been changing it
Captain: Ian
Team Members: Bong, Divra, DMCM, number 3, Sxul Choc, AKING, wuwu, Dragon, UN Squadron.
That's most likely the final 10 but im not making any promises].

Just remember anyone that plays cannot be exchanged.

Musicfreak777 · #**217** 07-20-2009, 08:14 PM

If someone chooses to leave a team or gets kicked out of a team, they can't join another team until next season. You can only be part of one team throughout the season.

Musicfreak777 · #**219** 07-20-2009, 10:07 PM

but wat if some1 didnt no they where registered and then registered 4 another team?

evilarsenal · #**220** 07-20-2009, 10:17 PM

if they played they cant play

Musicfreak777 · #**221** 07-20-2009, 10:20 PM

o ok thx mate 4 clearing that up.

nesnl · #**222** 07-21-2009, 12:16 AM

Okay, someone clear this whole UN Squadron thing up for me. I know that during this weekends games that EvilArsenal was present during a lot of matches and told you guys that you didn't need to take screenshots because he saw the results. But as a consequence of that I only received the results of 6 of the total 14 matches via email with screenshots. I did not receive any screenshots of the games played by PX or the games played by JC. So I can't tell which team he actually played for. Someone tell me which team he played for during this weekends games so that I can make sure the rosters are correct and that he only plays for that team throughout the season.

Golden Bough · #**223** 07-21-2009, 12:31 AM

nesnl:

As for the PX game against [JC] U.N. was in that game for sure. I remember it. Also, can you please address the max-ping concerns. In one of our matches,a players ping was 999 the entire time. They won, fair and square, but the ping was a real problem and an overall distraction for everyone involved. Would you please set the record strait for max-pings in tournament play as it seams to be a problem for others as well.

DMCM · #**224** 07-21-2009, 12:37 AM

Squadron played for J.C. in our weekend game against pX

gameguard · #**225** 07-21-2009, 01:24 AM

they have to be reasonable with pings imo.

Its one thing to be pinging 300 but a whole another story when they constantly warp around with 999 ping. The captain should not let someone with connection problems play.

Agreed, even the Australians stay under 400 ping. If you can't keep it under that then you really shouldn't be playing competitively until you get a stable connection.

combat · #**227** 07-21-2009, 06:17 AM

i love how we refer to them as "the Australians"

Speaking of that, I think the earliest possible date to have the livestream.com viewing for me would be this Friday. So, for those of you who would like to watch the VOD/commentary release "live" (aka with some other people, being able to chat with them about what's going on, etc.), when would you like that to happen? Should I push for a weekend release or would you guys prefer to wait until next monday/tuesday?

Stormich · #**230** 07-21-2009, 08:31 AM

Just put them up as VODs, so people just click to demand them and they play. As for a premiere of some sort I really don't know

tyr · #**231** 07-21-2009, 08:36 AM

Well, i'm not home between thursday-friday night and saturday-sunday night. It would be good for me if it was monday then, but i'm only 1 person, i can grab the vods, it's np.

tec27 · #**232** 07-21-2009, 08:45 AM

Yeah, I'm sorta wondering how many people would turn out for the broadcasts anyway. If it'll only be 3 or 4, its probably better to just release them in HD on youtube and not worry about it.

Edit: and for anyone that wants an example of what the VODs will sorta be like, here's one from the Teamliquid Altitude League: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHd8rrj19PQ

evilarsenal · #**233** 07-21-2009, 09:10 AM

im gonna try to broadcast the matches live on sunday at my friends house and commentate live... his computer is amazing

defenitely doing it for playoffs tho
don't know if for regular season

-MH-CaptainVogez · #**234** 07-21-2009, 09:11 AM

Captains please do not ignore this - this is the only way I know of contacting you all at the moment:
I have a proposal for the following matches (not as of yet run through beagle, {bc09} or JC leader, but for all's reference so that you can decide whether this is a valid time for us to organise (as time is short):

10pm EST (america) friday and 12pm EST (australia) saturday
-MH- vs {bc09}
11pm EST (america) friday and 1pm EST (australia) saturday
-MH- vs [J.C]

can you please all get together and decide whether this is a suitable time? after talking with a couple of people (JC BONG and MH AIDS) this sounds like it would be reasonable for most. If worst comes to worst, and we have a match with 8v6 players, I'm sure we can rearrange to make it an even match (i.e. 6v6)

This is just an idea so please consider it and do NOT bite my head off!

Peace
CaptainVogez

slip · #**235** 07-21-2009, 09:50 AM

Wait, Vogez, do you think were playing 8vs8's or something? Didnt quite understand that last part. Still have to check with bc about friday, we might have lives to attend to. (gasp)

no slip - you might have missed that part of the convo sorry (maybe it only appeared to the JC's)

what i meant, if it is acceptable, that if we unfortunately have teams show up less than the full 10 (but on the original roster), we can make the teams even by making the number of players on each team the same (taking players out)

i.e, if MH have 8 and bc09 have 6, then we sit 2 players out for the matches and leave it as 6v6.
is that legal maimer?

and if thats the case, are you able to sub in a 7th player each if you have enough at the start of a new match? (if a player shows up for bc09 late for the purpose of the last example)

slip · #**237** 07-21-2009, 09:57 AM

Ok...were on the same page when I say its always 5vs5 in a league game then? We only have five people on our roster, a full team.

evilarsenal · #**238** 07-21-2009, 09:58 AM

yea if u have more than 5 just sit them out.... its 5v5 not a full out **** fest of 12v9

Beagle · #**239** 07-21-2009, 10:19 AM

Thank you very much Vogez for taking the time to work out these times - you've come up with about the same time I ended up settling on and put to Bong. Haven't put it to Slip yet because I haven't seen him. The only change I made was to make it 11:30 PM EST/1:30 PM Brisbane to accomodate AIDs being able to play (he works at night).

-MH-CaptainVogez · #**240** 07-21-2009, 10:30 AM

my bad guys - i interpreted incorrectly
thanks for the corrections!

so Beagle, if possible will we do the matches 10pm and 11:30pm america EST (if the others approve?)
I think we should make this an approximate standard too if its okay with other teams
