Disgraceful Dueling

[Leaf]

Happy Birthday!

[Awesome]

How come I can't see the game's stats, other than it was won by Rapid 2-1? Anyways that shit is gay regardless.

since none of the staff have answered you're reply, allow me to fill in

The reason you cannot see individual stats is because of the new !register command. They are trying to work out the bugs but until then, all we can see is who won.

Have a nice day,
-Awesome

i think shriek deserved to add a 5th , but shouldn't have lost

[Bob (SRB)]

why the hell would you think that wildro? They dont deserve the win if they add a 5th and still lose. And what is with most of you guys, everytime puma would add a 5th there would always be a post about how lame they were and should get banned for TWD, and everyone would agree that it was lame. And now that shriek adds a 5th you are all like "oh games are supposed to be played with 5 so its not lame." Thats completely retarded, just because its shriek you shouldnt deny that its lame.

[crazi]

This is like the time "spawning" was considered illegal in elim even though there is no rule against it. shit, if you get spawned its your own fault and if you play 4 vs 4 and someone adds a 5th then talk to the bot programmer and head of twd to change that shit. I would understand if it was back in the days when people just agreed to duel in a private arena, but now everything is automated. the only person you can blame is matchbot03 for letting someone in.

In the end, who the fuck cares? Its not like you get a trophy for being the most honorable in subspace

adding players after !readying it should be locked out and made illegal.

[Jerome Scuggs]

calling someone a newb is trashtalk, a fun part of the game, because people start whipping facts out and it turns into a funny banter. adding a 5th is in no way playful, its serious and may or may not cost someone the TWL qualifications. (ie: squad loses, someone gets mad, leaves, others leave, squad dissolves. it could happen)

[Orgazmo]

jerome u put it the same way i think.. Trash talk every game has i mean ITS FUN! ADDING a 5th out of not fun. Shriek (respectable squad) and Tanked (very unrespectable squad now since lag killer added a 5th, and fucked them out of twlb) should know that it just doesnt help them it just fucks over your rep.. I still have respect for shriek though.. even though they tried to force us to play 5's.. STILL THE FACT IS 4v4 YOU AGREE ON IT AND !READY IT and u lose 50-30 doesnt mean u can add a 5th and try to win.

[Stabwound]

Trash talk is only fun/funny if you do it when you are actually doing well. Calling poeple newbies when your team loses and you go 6-10 is just stupid.

In order for DDin to remain competitive there has to be agreed on the number of players and stick to it, its stupid to state that well 5v5 is the norm because it isnt! Its easy for the squads that already are well established but the game should be designed to make it easier for the newer squads (who have less members) to compete otherwise DDin will die out since only the established squads will win all the time. 4v4 should be the norm not 5v5 and 5v5 should be agreed upon not the other way around. And if a squad does break the rule and adds a player then place a dueling suspension on the squad and make it really large like a month or something people will soon get the idea. Also i think squads members who constantly bicker and pm you during a duel is disgraceful and should also be banned after several reports from totally independent players. There probably also should be an ER or ZH during some games to make sure the game runs smoothly now and agian (and to use as a random sample as how well the game is going) and monitor known squads that have a "bad attitude".

My point is valid considering my squad is bunnies and we are constantly losing but none of us complain and bicker when we lose! So its really annoying when (especially the winning team) complains. I also refuse to go on a squad that has this "bad" attitude i suggest you guys should have the same attitude so these squads dont prosper. I actually look to the players of the squad and not the skill of the squad when i consider joining because it makes a squad more fun if you know you have nice people in it.

If MysticalZ made in TWLD...who will cry out loud?

If I had to point the blame at one squad in all of trench wars that caused this 'lame era' I would definately say it was Puma. No offense to the squad members themselves, but I'd have to say ignite wanted to win so bad he would do anything to win, and thus he retorted to cheating. Keep in mind it wasnt actual cheating, it was just 'lame' even though I personally felt it should have been considered cheating and declared the match void. He did every lame trick in the book, and after time Other people would do it back to Puma and then those people started doing it other squads than Puma. Puma may have phsyically died, but their cheating spirit lives on and did in fact have an effect on the trench wars society, unfortunately.

One other thing, as an idea: When a twdd match is accepted between two squads, one cap/assis from each squad must message the bot with either 4 or 5 at the beginning of the match, before any players are added. If the two captains dont agree on a number it automatically selects 4, that way it wouldnt force a squad to forfeit if they dont have enough people. Once the bot has a final decision on the amount of people per team, it then allows the cap/assis to add people. Ok so lets say the game is underway, and someone from your squad comes online, and the match was a 4v4. The other squad has 5 people total and wanted to play 5v5 but you only have 4 so you played a 4v4, the game still has plenty of time left, so you pm the bot with !add <playername> The bot then replies back with something like 'Hold please' and then the cap/assis of the enemy team receives a pm from the bot saying something like '<cap of other team> has requested that a player be added from both teams, do you accept or decline?' If that cap accepts that both teams are allowed to add one player. If he declines then the first cap/assis would receive something like 'the opposing teams captain/assistant has declined your offer'. And also make it so that you can only propose to add one player every 5-10minutes so that you cant spam the cap/assis with requests of 5v5

Keep in mind, I know that TWD qualifies you for TWL but dont get too upset over TWD simply because it is an amateur league. Anyways...just some ideas

[Reclusion]

You played a squad 5 v. 4?? You fucking pussy!

As for the lameness factor of adding a 5th, you gotta remember that it's just another strategy. Folks do other things (exploit their lag, spawning, etc.) that are lame. However, lameness doesn't necessarilly equal illegalilty.
