[Displaced]

similarly, mattey would be on my list...

[Da1andonly]

The only thing I think that should changed is. Both teams should be able to choose the time they play. I think they should have the whole week to play. If I want to play tuesday 9am EST. That's when we should play the game. Other then peak hours on the weekend. Where people have to work since they're in college. If the team fails to give a time before a deadlead. There game will be during that weekend at a giving time by staff.

No


& about section 5, if a staffer asks someone to reconnect in the middle they will still get +1 death, right?

[Stayon]

ok mattey, I agree..but theres only one way to solve this, let me join pirates..or we can duel and ill let you unplug ( =

I still think that, after hard lock, you should still be able to move around your TWL roster in comparison to your TWD roster so long as the player moving from TWD to TWD/TWL was on the squad prior to hard/soft lock depending on the circumstances.

Your TWL roster will now be completely separate from your TWD roster
and will be managed from the TWL site rather than TWD's...
We plan to put a check in there so that you can only add players eligible
to play as a TWL player onto the TWL roster from TWD.

But it's a grey area on ppl who have been on the squad long enough
to be eligible to play in TWL since the start date etc.
All depends on OP's rulings for that atm i guess...

RE: LAGGING

This is a edited version of what i've posted in staff forums but i thought it might be of interest.

I think we need to look carefully at the timing of the lag spikes. And remove players quickly if they seem to be lagging. Rather than waiting for enough evidence to ban them. What are we hoping to gain from banning them, it could just be a bad connection, we just can't tell to sufficient accuracy in most cases. Better to just remove them from the game and force a sub, this will work much better than hanging about trying to get a ban. Just say something to the cap like " %tickname is too laggy/spiky to play you must sub him or will will spec him."

Disruptive Visual lag we should punish in the same way the bot punishes lag it detected. Spec the player... Basically a zero tolerance of any strange/game play effecting lag in twl/twd (much. That way we get away from worrying if the lag is "cheating" but more to a view where if its giving an obvious "unfair" advantage you will be removed from the game....

In terms of detection. 3 staff members should be able to easily agree if someone is visually lagging. Most key games will be watched by at least 3. And in the case the player should be subbed or specced.

that means even though someone's *tinfo is OK yet they are still visually lagging to the point of being especially disruptive to the gameplay, they could be specced?

that was my intrepretation. if its correct, i like it

[RednaZ]

Sounds sensible, are you sure you're on staff?

[RiiStar]

can we start twl now plz, omfg

OMG TWL HASN'T STARTED MY FUCKING LIFE IS OVER...

Aight, you come and write this fucking website now... -_-

I actually really agree with this, I don't see why we should stop squads from being able to play on a Tuesday or something if they can both show all their top players that day. People do have lives, I don't see why we need to be so strict about cramming it all into a weekend (mostly Sunday) if both teams and an Op is free on a weekday.

[Jeenyuss]

lookin' good flabster. i think you should give them a chance to reconnect first before making them get subbed.

[MirrorriM]

Da1: Yes, they would still get +1 if asked to reconnect (if the squad/player doesnt like it, then they can sub).

Flabby did a very good job of explaining how lag will be handled this TWL.

Vehicle: Yes, we allowed that in the past. Players on TWD roster before soft/hard lock can be added to TWL roster after those times by the captain. However, caps can only switch the TWL roster around the Friday before each weekend of games.
