I have actually played in the last 3 or so but my team was knocked out in the first match as i rode the bench. The one time I show up late my team is in the finals without me. Thank god theres a ringers list and they used it fairly... I mean shit happens.rolyat wrote:There's limited space to get on the draft entry list..

agreed, I could have done something else tonight, but I made the commitment when I signed up. If you aren't going to show up, don't sign up in the first place, there are plenty others who would like to play. The penalize thing sounds like a good idea, make it so they can't play the next one or whateverrolyat wrote:Should probably add a player or two to each team for the next cup..

I wish more of you guys thought like this. Austin just so happens to be a very good player, but it holds true to everyone. Guys are stepping in, taking time out of their life (insert I PWN IRL KTE here), but just own up to it. If you're too cool, be too cool. Just don't sign up for the draft. I personally don't like playing with lower level players (no offense), but I signed up for the ringers team in the off chance that I could play on cableguy or taylor's team, because they are friends of mine that are really fun to play with even if we lose **if it would have been a fair ringer trade**. That didn't happen. I turned down three other ringer "offers." Let's just try and keep these things fun and fair for those who really do care.nomis wrote:agreed, I could have done something else tonight, but I made the commitment when I signed up.

I like the idea in theory. The fact of the matter is that, unfortunately, the scene isn't what it used to be. We're (mostly) not 16-20 anymore, we're more like 22-27, and real life gets in the way. If you're more in charge of your schedule, that's awesome. But the fact of the matter is that the percentage of the guys still in high school/college can probably carve time out easily, it's a little harder for the other guys if work/personal stuff gets in the way. I think in an ideal world we'd have 7-player teams and just fucking own up if your 7th guy is there and don't get a ringer. I was contacted by literally half of the draft teams to "ring" tonight, and I feel like at least a couple of those teams had their 6th guy on. That's not cool. Don't ruin other peoples' fun to try and win a one day online tournament.joeledmunds wrote:Penalizing noshows for future drafts is pretty important, as it discourages people signing up when they know they may not be able to play. I'd rather have people penalized than have to go back to the old system where 8 players get picked and 2 players get ignored. As trivial as it sounds, picking six person teams makes more sense, and it's reliant on having 6 show.
Aw, shit. Cat's out of the bag, when it comes to securing an online dod date. It's me. Beer and billiards? What's your game? I personally love 9-ball, but 8-ball never gets old. I can even arrange a meet&greet with CPL champions Dan "scorch-" Schey and Max "MaX-" Shapiro. And also local drunk Greg "coL.chaos" Conlon, but you really don't want to meet Greg. He sucks as much irl as he does in game.Ev wrote:LMAO! Cocktails?JessePinkmaniwa wrote:Has Evilyn responded yet?

Either way each match we all had a lot of fun, all enjoyed playing with eachother, and made surprisingly enough, DoD fun!! and that is why I was signed up for this in the first place.

I had a lot of fun too and I really thought we might pull out that Harrington match after we capped out twice in a row second half to pull ahead.

We get it. You don't care.
Fact of the matter is, anyone that has picked a 12man team before can tell you that kirk > nunz & seven > warchyld. (i'm going to regret admitting this). Also, nunz was in the hltv apparently. =)

Something is terribly wrong with that Quarter Server. Every Chicago I've ever played on has been perfect but that one just feels like I'm playing day of defeat source.

We don't care about the KTEs people are making because, as Sp|der mentioned, we spent hours trying to round out six people. I messaged at least 4-5 people, and I know Sp|der messaged more prior to me stepping in to help. The team we ended up with, while appearing to be overly convenient on the surface given the skill level, was not remotely convenient to Sp|der or myself solely because of the time it took to find ringers who had not committed to other teams. It was a huge time suck for me and Sp|der, so I see nothing convenient about it.rolyat wrote:We get it. You don't care.

My server was only used for my teams first match. After that it was my Hltv in Get Hits server which is owned by twist per skns teams request. i went afk after our match so they couldn't get a hold of me to switch back to my server. Even though i gave panel access and rcon to a few trusted people in the community. Mine runs @ 1,000 fps, pingboost 2 and is on its own VPS with nothing else running on the VPS.Theworst wrote:Something is terribly wrong with that Quarter Server.
