Shriek = gone

[Facetious]

Yeah, I felt the same way when Pearl Jam once told me he hoped I never spoke again. My definition of friend is all fucked up now.

6) Eric, if you don't care about ur squad at all, don't join a squad. If ur gonna join a squad, you want it to get good and you want it to play matches and win them. However if there is no cooperation at all, the squad will slowly fall apart, and this didn't happen to shriek, so i really wanne know what exactly happend (but ill prolly never find out)

I dont really know what happened either with any great detail. I hadnt been coming on much at all for the 2-3 weeks leading up it PjOtTeR. I sorta regret joining because it turned out badly in the end and i didnt really join for the right reasons. When i joined i cared about playing well and competing, but i had also just been asked to leave Elusive so i wasnt really in the best frame of mind to think things through. Also the roster lock was about to occur and if i wanted to play in TWL at all i had to decide right away and Shriek was the only squad that seemed like a good fit.

Regardless, it was a big shame, i was hoping Shriek would do well in all leagues before and after i was on it. Personally i dont feel like joining a squad ever again after what happened on Elusive. It changed my entire view of this game when i found that my definition of the word "friend" was way too broad. I wont make that mistake again.

Yeah I guess you're right. Cancel the idea then.

why not just make it so a twl rostered player can't leave their squad's twl roster, making it impossible for anybody to play on 2 twl squads at all during the season.

I think that this is an interesting idea. Max roster 30. At the official announcement of TWL season, the roster is locked in such a way that no one can leave that squad. Squads can recuit up to their max limit of 30. There is a perm lock (no one can join or leave) after week 5. This prevents squadhopping, but still allows for recruiting. And utilizes the max roster limit of 30 bc squads will want to fill up most of their squads.

cute bz

[Randedl]

just transfer stats from the old one to the new one. . . not that advanced a concept

[Luckily Yours]

and for the sake of statistics namechanges should never be implemented ....

[Randedl]

with that kind of system you could look at a regular season powerhouse and a weak playoff contender.

as long as a player is eligible, i think they should be completely eligible to their squad, if there is a 2 week delay that is their pennance.

why not just make it so a twl rostered player can't leave their squad's twl roster, making it impossible for anybody to play on 2 twl squads at all during the season.

non-twl players can join a twl squad up to, oh i don't know, week 7, with a 2 week eligibility delay.

[PjOtTeR]

I have just a few things to say:
1) The squad that is gonna win twlj instead of shriek now is lucky.
2) I think there would have been enough ppl that wanted to carry on, they just were not able to be there at a certain time and respond to any questions for several reasons. ( it is summervacation, and some ppl just get behind of their computers then and go to the beach or on vacation and stuff.
3) While looking at 2, i think that leagues are during summer break has a big factor in the dissolve of shriek.
4) Cause shriek is dissolved, "Pleasant" is gonna own all javthings that are coming up in the future.
5) Annul, ur a fuckin frickin .........(fill in whatever you want) moron for dissolving shriek.(However he's still a nice guy, and live goes on)
6) Eric, if you don't care about ur squad at all, don't join a squad. If ur gonna join a squad, you want it to get good and you want it to play matches and win them.

and epi, sure, we both know your lazy ass won't do it

Not true rand ... allowing a player to wait 2 games and then play week 10 allows that player to wait his/her turn to contribute for his/her team. Yes, they can't play in postseason games, but a team needs to decide if it is worth it to play that player even though they know he/she cannot play in the playoffs. It's a balance btwn giving a player experience on the team (and perhaps winning) and perhaps sacrificing the coherence of the team IF they reach playoffs.

Also ... we still can adjust the # of games that someone has to wait in order to play. I suggested 1 game wait for a nonTWL member and a 2 game delay for a TWL member. That can easily be increased to a 2 , 4 game delay respectively. That basically means if you change to a diff TWL team you miss almost half of the reg season.

Hey I dunno, how about a playoff roster lock at like week 5 or 6, no new players after that week could play in playoffs, but could still play in regular twl matches after a 2 week waiting period or something.

Suckyness aside, the other reason is because it's usually good to know who you're playing against (and not have new names to fight against every game).
