I'd asked staffers for feedback, and didn't hear any mentions of players who had supported or didn't support it, though got some staff opinions who generally saw it as a net positive. It did seem noticeably more quiet in blue, and much of the chat was focused...

Didn't get much detailed feedback beyond "it's good", though largely it seems like it was a net positive and only one serious complaint. It was a little confusing for some, though, who didn't realize it was enabled.

To further test the...

Might be a problem with the redirect from forums.trenchwars.org to forums.trenchwars.com. What happens if you go straight to the .com?

Thanks for continued input, guys. Just letting you know, monitoring the thread.

Trying out a STFU Weekend Flavor (!buy STFU always enabled) ... have to see what that ends up doing. People may end up going in-game to get around it (but can be continually...

I thought it was pretty clear that I didn't mean "let's literally do nothing." We're trying to figure out what to do. There's a problem; let's do something about it. You seem to want everything to be fixed for you. Rather than trying to add your...

Silencing is definitely a bit destructive, yeah. Especially as it follows you across arenas and prevents bot interaction. And it reduces your command use to literally only ?go. You can't type ?chat, ?lag, ?messages, etc.

Unfortunately I was under...

An interesting way to handle this might involve players moderating (as unless ban regulations are changed, staff don't have a way to enforce it ... especially when it's hard to say what "it" is, other than a "certain" standard of decency)....

After a little work on the bot, unfortunately the math behind not tiering slightly when you're playing teams of two different sizes is a bit of a pain.

So in the case of playing one arena of 5s and one of 4s, the 5s game is going to be higher-tier...

Thanks Mista Mef! (Movin' on your lefffft)



The quote button works, but currently it eats your post if you have anything in there, be warned... might take some getting used to.

You can post video links pretty easily....

Regarding comments about Henry. He's is the Dean of Staff; he doesn't run leagues. He's been involved in a lot of league planning and league hosting because he cares enough about the game to put in serious amounts of time. He's also very consistent and reliable,...

Busy weekend, took a bit to get back to this.

Bottom line, a big part of what makes leagues successful is the community, as you pointed out, Major. People stepping up to cap, bringing in their friends, making content that builds hype such as...

The problem with league planning is that pretty much nobody has any interest in doing it. If you'd like to see one reason why, just take a read through this thread (or any number of leagues threads over the years). At the end of the day, a lot of people are...
