Yo Squads

[Diakka]

I know this has been tried by squads in the past but I think we forgot about it. I am talking about scheduling times for when your squad comes on. Instead of trying to guess when to come online you and your squad mates all know what time to come on at. This will allow you to have a life and play Trench Wars at the same time! YAY! Brainwave has two scheduled times and they are 3:00 PM EST and 8:00 EST. This way we not only have squaddies on to play with, but our top line to TWD with! Games are so much more fun with your squad's top line and even better against an enemy top line. I am encouraging all squads to start doing this so it can lead to more squad activity and competitive play. This can/may/will lead to squads scheduling TWD games with each other, which will lead to even more intense and epic battles. I know you are tired of coming on and wanting to play TWD but realizing you do not have enough players, OR no other squad has enough players and you do. It is frustrating, but if we all work together we can fix this. The reason TWL is so successful is because games are scheduled...logical right? Everyone comes on at the same time and has a blast. Talk it over with your squad...my squad loved the idea and it allowed us to play 4-5 straight BDs against Pandora with our top line verses one of their top lines.

Maybe we can come up with some type of system on the TWD website for challenging other squads a few days in advance. If the squad accepts the challenge on the website then both squads must attend. If one squad does not show then they lose the necessary points.

I like this idea. Maybe we could add a feature on the twd website. Where a squad can make a challenge, a time and date and the squad has the option to accept or decline.
If a squad accepts and doesn't show and then the opposition has the chance to steal the points if the wish to do so. Also if this did come true. You could set up a reminder on twd website. When a player log's onto the site. There could be a page where you could see the hands that have been scheduled.

just my 2 cents

Yea vys, like a squad can present a challenge to ALL squads or to just one squad. In order for a squad to accept the challenge, each rostered player must agree to attend the match on TWD.org. Same goes for the the squad that challenged, in order to send out the challenge all 8 players need to commit. Once 8 players have agreed to attend then the the challenge would go out to enemy squad or be accepted (16 players needed for game to be scheduled in TWBD). I mean you could go on and on with the features on TWD site such as publicly announcing all scheduled games, who will be playing in each game, tie the website functions into the TWD bots (bots can send reminders to squads about games and the games would start in the reserved arenas automatically)...and so on.

P.S. someone mentioned in game that maybe these games could have a +20 point bonus because the two squads scheduled the game.

I really like this idea. It will bring more competition to the league and hopefully bring the inactive players logging on more often. I know through the mid-week that it pisses me off coming online and everyone is afk in chat or if we have enough for a match another squad won't. It should be where squad captains can log onto another squads profile and challenge them to a match twd-d j b. And it's the squads captain responsibility to make sure they show just like twl.
I get sick of playing the same old bad squads. I'd prefer to be playing the likes of thunder, heavy and quake, so i can get some practice for twl

A map of activity for each squad. It could be another page on TWD that show who are active and at what time. I will think about it. In fact, i was already thinking about doing something to know who's online for each squad in RT. But a lot of us just go afk and stay connected..

They had this many years ago and it worked out somewhat flawless. I have no idea as to why they stopped using this method, especially since it was something that worked.

I believe this was back when Sage was running things...if that was his name...too many years that I forget. Someone who played in league back in 98 or 99 would remember most likely.

Someone from -Final-, Cripples or No Surrender (other than myself) should remember this.

or a system that figured out how many bd's, dd's, or jd's a squad played for every hour slot. for instance, mondays 4 pm-5 pm is the most active time for dd's on thunder or some shit like that. i'm too unorganized to assign a time and stick to it personally but if it works for others then maybe squads should try to focus on this.

i like the idea of getting squads to get members on between certain times for more activity, but i could see a few problems emerging from scheduling games (such as people not actually bothering to show for their squads as its only twd etc..) although i'd be more than happy to try it out, twd needs some new features and a kick start
