Upset Week

people can't make games as often as they could during the summer. lineups are just weird and sporadic.

That thing you mention about the dorms doesnt make sense. I usually get 20 to 30 ms, once I had 0 ms, and I get faster times when the servers are faster. A lot of colleges have great connections. At least the decent ones.

i haven't read that thread since i posted it up, so i forget what it says.

anyways, to respond here:

the people who think winter leagues are better are ignorant. they think that attendance problems during the summer are due to good weather. in truth, attendance problems are due to people not being committed.

the university i went to had horrible lag. i couldn't play any time aside from late nights and early weekends. i couldn't even enter the zone.

i don't keep up with alot of people in ss, but i know that a few squaddies i've been with (metalkid, mattey, pearl jam) all can't play due to this lag.

if you get great lag numbers on your campus, you are probably on a different type of connection.

just compare last twld to this twld. final is probably head and shoulders above this season.

last season it was a 4 or 5 horse race without stretching the truth. upsets are happening because people aren't showing, not because of great play.

it's too bad that the last few playoff spots in each league will be decided by who got lucky in playing an opponents horrible line.

Actually the problem with summer leagues is attendance problems due to summer jobs making people work on the weekends, not due to "nice weather". During the winter some college students have jobs while they go to school, but most college students have their weekends free.

all of these were upsets and I hope to see more. As for your comment t-mac, cram it up ur ass. sk8/dragon match was a mistake...it's being appealed. router when down to the west coast from what I heard and same thing to pirates..was 4v5 for the first 5 mintues until we got a sub which was too late causing us to go down 25-5 in minutes, blowing the game.

Same router crashed screwed us over in our twld vs simulate which is why we appealed that one as well. All the 1:00 games were messed up.

i was gonna make a similar post regarding upsets this week, funny that in the juice game neither or our 3 captains turned up to the start, apt is away, i couldnt make it till 5 minutes before the end, and k-i only turned up 15 minutes in ... but no excuses, it was a hard fight and incuria did a good job!

i knew they had it in there somewhere, hopefully this will give them the needed boost they need to win a few in coming weeks.

MoG was bit pissed after match because k-i subbed him. Mog was talking something about axing ki. It's funny because you begun to play better after that sub.

Ancients vs. -Final- weren't... (if u are speaking about sunday games)

[Underground]

lol at kicker if u wanna appeal ur game vs Sk8.

[PrOnEsSim]

Didnt some people couldnt wait for winter season?.. When season 7 ended.

[Due]

That's cause you guys are all euros.

[PrOnEsSim]

Pirates vs mambo was sad.. it was 6vs8 the whole time until the end.

[Kim]

It was appealed, don't know what they'll do about it. We showed 8, but we couldn't play 2 in consequence of the router problem.

[AnZu]

If those appeals go through, I'm going to appeal whole last season because I didn't get to play because my isp had "problems". Oh, and our TWLB game against Pallies, because I couldn't play cos I had gprs connection.

Kicker, your appeal is ridiculous, you were the only one in sk8 or dragon who couldn't play, it's your own fault you used 3 lagouts and didn't use sub until we were 25-5.
