Strikeball Free Agent List

[Blueblaze]

I requested to join Under_Score & as a vet with many vets on that squad I can see why some have made the "stacked teams" comment. When I applied to Under_Score, there was not as many squads listed that wanted to partake in this league. Looking at the amount of squads that are recruiting vs. already so-called stacked squads, I would join a new team if necessary.

My only concern with many of the new squads, is how many of the players will be dedicated to show for all their matches? I have never missed a game in all of the TWSBL leagues that have taken place.

If there is a new squad that is serious about playing in TWSBL and will show for all their matches, I would entertain leaving Under_Score to dilute the Vet problem of a stacked team. I don't think Trunks or any squad captain would be alarmed by this action by some vets.

My concern is that I want to play and I want to be on a team that wants this too! So if there really is a concern about stacked teams, you just may find some vets are willing to join in with newer squads to level out the playing field.

Trunks, I hope this would not bother you after I applied to play for Under_Score? If there is too much negative reaction towards certain teams filled with Vet's my only concern is to make the league work and to have fun playin SB . Not that I am looking to leave Under_Score, but would consider this if it seems that the league has stacked teams.

By the way, you missed the preseason match against Meta lol but it is just preseason so

The only post I saw regarding pre-season for Under_Score was:

Friday June 15, 10 est time in TWSBL

Under_Score vs. Metanoia

Was this changed? if so I have been afk due to work in Orlando. No offense to those that live in FL....but man I hate dealing with Disney!

Now that I see the TWSBL websites notation of results:

Under_Score vs. Metanoia
June 14, 2007 Preseason Game

Metanoia wins by forfeit: 9-4

-Moltenrock <ER>


When the hell did the date change?

The days these games are to be held should be agreed upon and posted on the TWSBL website, even pre-season. If I have to page through the forums for dates...that's ridiculous.

[EDIT]:

The game has been rescheduled to Thursday at the same time.

Ahh...this was the message...hmm...I should have just assumed. My fault for not knowing that was the U_S vs Met game. Well at least I don't have to show this evening.

[moltenrock]

How are they to practice when only two of them get picked (after all the vets) in your scrimmages? Especially when those same games are a ridiculous 7v7, which simply turns into a spawnfest anyway? A league needs interest to sustain itself, with new players playing the game everyday. Poor management, poorly organized- get it together or watch it fall apart.

You're right, it muxt be simply too hard for them to type ?go Strikeball2 and have a squad scrimmage.

It was posted on the main page www.trenchwars.org/strikeball

Left Hand and Trunks_Rage agreed to move it to Thursday for some reason, so that probably threw a lot of players for a curve. Anyway, we should have a few preseason games tonight though, so plan on being here tonight if you can.

All squads should try to come on tonight, as this should be a prime night for some preseason games. As well, I love Disney :O

I see it under the Results...but there is nothing anywhere, unless I am being a retard at the moment that shows any scheduled matches with days and times? Perhaps they delete the game times and dates once played?

Oh it was listed on the main page, until last night they removed it since the game had been played. The time was incorrectly listed on the Results page, but that was removed as well whenever they played last night. Either way, the game is over and its too late :P Most preseason matches are not scheduled, since its not that big of a deal if your star players miss it. More so, its pick up games similar to TWD, but the league games will be scheduled more like TWL.

Appeciate the heads up Blue. I go away for a week and am totally lost

I guess I am just use to having a history of events on a site that can be scrolled, so in case your a day late, you can still catch up on the news...my fault for assuming and expecting that.

Cya in SB this evening.

i assume scrimmages are capped games

When us hosts do start a capped game, we always try and pick some newer players. If they don't get a chance to play, i make sure they get in the next game.

Update:

Quickball faced $Flabby$ in two preseason matches today. Quickball won the first one 15-4. Although it was 12-1 at the end of the first half, $Flabby$ kept it to 3-3 in the second half. They faced problems with one of their players in the first half, which posed a problem for them in the round. The second game was even closer ending at 19-16 in favor for Quickball. $Flabby$ could become a very strong squad in the future showing early on that they can compete in with other squads in this league.

Awww I missed that cause I was working :/

Ahh well, I just hope I can make all the actual league games and play for flabby :P lol

[Blueblaze]

Added 3 more players to the Free Agent List!

[Cylor]

I don't agree with the intentional or unintentional stacking of any team in this league, but this league is young and it would be best if every Strikeball player did what they could to support it, and not tear it down (whether that is intentionally unbalancing the league, attacking the league's head, or attacking the league itself).

You're right, constructive criticism never got us anywhere, now did it? We jus' keeps our big mouths shut and trust everything will turn out dandy.

This is the type of attitude we all need to adapt guys. No more suggestions, okay? Of course they would think immediately to go from a well-populated arena to an unknown, empty secondary arena because newbies know exactly what to do, right? Having never played they will surely have a squad to scrimmage with, why didn't I think of that.

a look at the league teams

In regards to the argument that there should a limited number of teams and that there are too many vets on too few teams:

In case ya'll hadn't noticed, there's only 6 teams in the running right now.

U_S: Probably the favorite heading into the league. With a starting line containing trunks, avatar_hero, mastakith--, and Will, theres not much room to grow. With a few games under their belts, their chemistry will improve making them hard to beat... assuming all their players show (looking at you trunks/preempt)

Metanoia: A strong core with left hand, anida, and the overrated ikillburger. We'll start off really strong becuase we've always tried to play with each other, and know each other's game really well. Meta could use a few more decent players imho. With yamaha's lag issues, and I wouldnt count on holy to show, there's room for another player or two to get a playing spot.

Quickball: The team with the best chance to cause a big upset. Once veh shakes his rust off and blueblaze learns to pass, they should have an extremely powerful offense. Quickball's best asset may be their very deep bench. Pretty much any QB player is good enough to start on any team.

$flabby$: I missed their game vs QB, but their second half numbers speak a lot. Going 3-3 against QB isnt easy. A good set of players are in there like Sodomizer and fusha. it's Fusha.

Elites: Already they have a really good core with some big names. They could benefit from taking a few players from the free agent list to help them fill their team.

Got Balls: the final strong team in the league. Props to emery for growing his team so quickly. Tag and emery are both good, but I dont know if they can lead the team to victory.

Big names that arent with one of these teams
nockm :said he wasn't going to play this league, but he did make 2. and if you could get him, freezer and koan are more likely to make an appearance :P
cylor: I know you're good. If you really think the leagues going to turn out poorly you could help by joining one of the weaker teams
div/tricer : still sitting on their own team. This pair is enough to make any team a contender.
jeeny and vyk are sitting on an empty team.
damean angel's team is empty as well. He wouldnt be a bad acquisition.

Theres still at least 15 really good players on the free agent list. Come on caps, do some recruiting. and dont forget to play some games to qualify for league.
