Hey

[zidane]

i can see how this could be bad for inactive people who barely play like zeebu etc, it'll make it harder for them to stay on rosters. but honestly i think this could work out and cause more active squads. i think based on how the trend of the zone in the last few years it could be worth the risk of implementing this. kudos for finally trying to make a real change

I dont know why all of sudden you HAVE to play with every single one of your friends instead of against them. Your arguements are weak at best. Oh no! the newbs get axed. I was a noob before just like all of you. By getting axed it made me try harder to get on another squad and prove I was able to play with the vets, and it also made me create squads. Your assumptions that every newb and inactive vet will just roll over and die are just folly. If vets dont have the luxury of playing when they get on once a week, maybe they will get on more and maybe they wont. You can know until it happens. Being proactive is better than this boring lul of everyone stacking squads with friends and have 3 competitive squads. Get the fuk over yourself and think of everyone as a whole instead your immediate feelings and reactions.

People are always moaning for drastic change, here it is and look what happens - a bitchfest.....just give it a try at least, being pessimistic over any rule brought in that brings about change is half the reason over the last 7 years or so TW has failed to capitalise on good ideas which has lead to a bigger decline in population than was necessary. Let's just see what happens.

This is true, although an easier way to go would be to split twdd/twjd/twbd. Allow squad to register for interested league, and allow players to join diff squads for each league. So squad x could only be a twdd squad, squad y a twjd squad, squad z a twbd squad and player A could join squads x,y and z. However if squad wants to participate in all 3 leagues, any player signed up to that squad has to stick to them. This would make roster cap easier for 1 league squads, and also follow the TWL model a bit closer.

People complained when I changed the forum rules. To date, nobody has exploded or been banned due to the changes.
Let's see how this works, and decide what to do next from there.

I voted on this idea before with the entire community and we decided NOT do this. It pushes casual players out of the twd experience. Sorry to be a heel but noooooo.

You'll get there one day.

nobody is questioning the act of making drastic changes. initiation from staff to do anything useful has been in question. big decisions like this need to be voted on instead of randomly being implemented 2-3 weeks before TWL starts.

lol you aren't being a heel when the majority have the same opinion as you. but yeah apparently 3-5 staffers (half dont even leave spec) have complete say in twl.

If you log on once a week, go "hey, we got a game? No, ok cya next week." then you are not helping, but are freeloading on the activity of the rest of the zone. I know there are people who do this, plenty of them. Perhaps if you all scheduled a time/weekday to all do this at once, you'd actually help get some games going. As it is now, we cant get games cause we got 2 online from one squad, 4 on another, 2 on Javsquad4, 6 on wbsquad7, etc..

Scheduling is very hard. Everyone seems to be very busy, and it's random as to when very busy days are for games and when there are days at a time with 0 games. If there were set days, that would be cool but lately there havent been. We can't just say to other squads "HEY GUYS SHOW UP OK?" a lot of us don't wanna wait 1 hour to NOT find a twbd match because there is noone else to play. I'd personally rather go spend my time playing another game or going to the gym, taking my dog for a walk. I try and mellow out with this game, but if theres no competitive basing match then I really am not gonna hangout and chat for an hour when I can go get entertained elsewhere.


Sucks, but its realistic. This cap will just ruin it for those players. Those great guys who we wanna put in the lineup every now and again because they show up (Such as starweaver, myself, Violence, etc) It's just gonna end up getting us axed, and we aren't gonna go find a squad because there won't be enough of an active core anywhere else and we dont have the time to go create a squad.

don't think i've ever rofl'ed IRL til i saw this

[Shaddowknight]

The scheduling thing in my post was actually a joke. I dont expect you to. Also Hyd, youre not that great a terr. You are on a good team that holds you up to give that appearance. Deflate your ego a bit bud, and check things out again.

[kthx]

Lets just be completely honest here. I have nothing against dsb personally but this is a dumb change. Better staffers and players voted against doing things like this in the past and for good reason. Change for the sake of change doesn't help anything. Before changes like this just do a forum search on the topic and bow down to the wisdom of this zones predecessors.

So instead of signing on once or twice a week and possibly playing twd games for 1 to 2 hours at a time before I have to leave for real life stuff, I get to sign on once or twice a week to play pub for 10 minutes before I get bored and quit. Yup this will help activity.

[crazyfuk]

How is this change going to help increase TWD activity? You think that 2 or 3 new squads getting created after this change (which I doubt will even happen) means TWD is suddenly more active? If new squads do form, they will be full of inactive people. So in the end all you are doing is hurting the big squads that are going to have to drop about 10 or more of their players, and upseting the players because noone likes being told after years of playing with certain people, "Hey you can't play with them anymore, you need to axe them". I see absolutely no plusses to this change.
