IMPORTANT: TWD Reset, Rule change, Roster limit.

[Turban]

congrats you're part of an active squad filled with nerds bigger than me. aren't you proud?

scrub.

[Pressure]

everyone on Portal:

stop being faggots and defending this rule; it doesn't effect you so you shouldn't really care either way. if you're so adamant about keeping -35 on your roster, do so regardless of the rule-but don't try to influence a pretty drastic decision with your opinions when technically (because you will have 35 or less rostered anyway) it doesn't matter.

lol at the fkn babies in this thread, this will make more squads happen and more competition. farms squads on the same roster, dumbest fkn idea i've ever seen, not surprised to see that coming from someone on tenure.

id say before doing elaborate programming, lets take a look to make sure this direction will have a positive effect on overall twd activity.

[concealed]

i know it would require some more programming, but what about an "inactive reserve" list to cover the people turban is talking about. in sports that have injured reserves, and teams can move players back and forth from this. just make it so that if you switch someone, you can't move them on/off the inactive reserve for 24 hours or something.

this would allow squads to designate 5-10 players that they would want to play if they were on, but would have to move one of their active guys over to the reserve list for a day.

other than the additional programming requirements, what do you all say to this idea?

[kthx]

Dynasty is recruiting btw, looking to add about 30 people to our roster in the next few days.

Hit me up on the forums if interested.

[Zeebu]

im willing to look at the numbers and let this play out for a while.

if this change really does increase overall activity of twd, then its a success. if it doesnt then its not.

we have to wait and see. i guess i can deal with that.

[Rasaq]

Yes, let's sit here and assume and bitch about what this new rule change is going to do to activity instead of actually seeing how it plays out. We still have squads way over the cap and as of right now it looks like TWD is still active even tho' 4-5 squads have dropped down to the cap.

[Zeebu]

and of course, in contrast, if those things dont happen...

well, its stupid.

[Zeebu]

i still really dont get this.
lower the twl limits. i can understand that. but... twd is active. its during the off season.


what can possibly be more important during the off season than having twd active? and by active i mean more players playing - not necessarily more squads.

what i propose, look at whats been goin on since twl ended. look at the average games per day in twd. i dont care which squads play a billion times and which ones play 2 games. take all those games and add them up. get a games per day thing goin on. id also say take a look at the number of unique people playing games and their games per day.

now, compare that number with what goes on after this roster limit goes into effect. since what we are doing is a benefit to the twd system we should see things like:
- increase of overall twd games per day
- increase of unique twd participants
- increase of a twd participants games per day


if all of that actually happens, then this might be a successful change.

[kthx]

How about you learn your place, it obviously isn't anywhere near intelligent discussions about how this game should be managed.

[Rasaq]

How about STFU and see how this goes after a few weeks?

[Jerome Scuggs]

howabout no cap (or at very minimum 50) on twd and 20-person limits on TWL squads. that way the inactives can have "pop on and play" squads and then the active players can break off and make smaller squads for TWL which will also create new squads due to the cap, keeping TWL competitive and exclusive while maintaining the entertainment value of TWD? whoever posts immediately after me is a homosexual

edit: the point of twd is a sort of training grounds for TWL. what squad is gonna wanna be recruiting new people if they always have the pressure of a roster cap? how can you farm out the good 3 or 4 players out of a mass recruit when you can't mass recruit? knowing that TWL is a 20-player-per-squad league will have plenty of impact on TWD competitiveness while avoiding the problems actually associated with it.

[kthx]

Yeah you are right MM :P

But I am still right and I do believe strongly in what I say here so.

[M_M God]

You're just happy you finally have something to bitch about on the forums again wark
