IMPORTANT: TWD Reset, Rule change, Roster limit.

[Rasaq]

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

[kthx]

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

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.

[Zeebu]

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

well, its stupid.

[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]

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.

[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.

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?

[Zeebu]

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

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.

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.

[Turban]

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

scrub.

[Turban]

while i'm still awake -- and while i'm waiting for this ease faggot to log on -- fuck this shit, no limits unless there's some other drastic changes coming to the game. there's way too many casual/inactive players, and in my opinion there's no reason for us to "forcefully remove" them from their old squads.

[Jason]

everyone vehemently defending this decision (i.e. rasaq, zidane, etc) is in no way directly affected by it. you guys aren't being hit by this. guys like me are. so tell me, what makes you qualified to state (with all sorts of confidence, no less) that this is going to work?

i now have to find another squad, and guess what? there aren't any to find. i simply do not have the time to create a squad myself, and after a decade of dedication to this game, why the hell should i be obligated to create my own squad anyway? i've put in a lot of my time to help out around here, both as in-game staff and via web and bot development. the thanks i get is, "too bad so sad, we don't care whether or not you have the opportunity to play anymore."

that's just fucked up. :\
