IMPORTANT: TWD Reset, Rule change, Roster limit.

[Turban]

roster cap is and always has been a bad idea, sorry predator.

i'm inclined to agree with godspeed; there's always a first thing for everything. the reason twd is even slightly active (and fun) at the moment is because of these big and active squads, making them to force axe people (mainly, newbies) only will make twd more inactive.

at least make the limit hit the next reset when twl qualifications begin (if even then) as it would be kind of stupid to limit the squad sizes now that twd is finally active.

do some research, most of the active squads are -- surprise, surprise -- big. they won't be as active (not even close, if i may add) if they have to axe ~25% of their roster due to a stupid rule.

Squad Roster Cap

I hear there will be a roster cap beginning next week that will only allow you to have 35 people rostered. If this happens, you will watch trenchwars die before your eyes, if people who have been in paladen and spiritcrushers and other squads have to leave.... They're gonna be pissed off and they'll simply quit... I've had players on my squad tell me that they're glad to be on my squad because sometimes life gets in the way and they can't play for extended periods of time, but when they come back...they know the squad will always be there... This will kill trenchwars, please reconsider this roster cap people!

maybe a specific amount of games in each league played per month would be required? 20 games per month?

also, twd is so active right now because of the big squads. the bigger the squad, the more of a chance they will have enough to play, and the more of a chance there will be an opponent (another big squad) who has enough.

twd is super active right now, why change it? there's plenty of player movement anyway, theres bound to be a few new squads that come up with time.

plus, the people that will be axed from rosters to meet the requirement will be of 2 categories: newbs and inactive vets.

newbs are incapable of starting their own squad with stable leadership that will end up successful, enough so to play games (maybe one squad will come out of this)

inactive vets are inactive and typically only interested in logging on occasionally to play a game or two

this is more likely to kill the activity/competition in twd rather than aid it

[Tarriskat]

i dont see why you guys think a cap will make more activity, in tenure we are always doing 2 bds or 2 jds/dd at same time as a bd or some shit, making new squads because of a cap just makes more ppl have to be a captain and more squads that will play for a week or a month and fall apart.

just do 35 for normal 1 league squad, 40 for 2 and 45 for 3, or something

how does one designate whether or not their twd squad is 1, 2, or 3 leagues.

obviously this happens the day my squad merges -_-

[Jerome Scuggs]

I'm already calling it - roster cap is gonna have to be raised.

[PredatoR_FNM]

Hey, there has been questions about twd reset.
So here is your answer, twd will reset later next week.

With this new reset we'r going to make some changes in TWD.

Rule change: 48h waiting period on squadchange rule to 24h waiting period.

Roster limit: 35 players.

Why the roster limit?
- This will create more twd squads and create more activity and games, we hope. We will see. If there is something wrong with the roster cap, we can always adjust it. Just be patient.


EDIT:
TWD reset will happen next friday (09/16/11). Also the roster cap will be applied after reset.
62 out of 64 squads already under or at 35 players, big thank you to captains.
