2vs2 [TUFT] Rants and Discussions

[Schubdüse]

that's probably what I did but well .. if there's a tourney we'd better play games for it .. .. that's all I'm sayin ..

I meant non-team game for tourney.
Remember? We are playing FlexiTeam modus!

No, Turgon changed his mind. See our discussion on February 29th under the Tourney sign-up thread (around page three or so).


Turgon: "Your right. Only team play. mrmot/nuki v Schubs/brosef . Dont wanna cause too much problems for the stats master"

Then, why didn't nobody answer this? (Written on 6th of March)

I'm a little confused. We still do play the FlexiTeams™ mode, do we?

And why is this still not changed?

The rules will be standard Ace Rules, (slightly edited) and the stats will be done by cza and FF. We shall also go with FlexiTeams™

Rules

...

What are FlexiTeams™?

A combination of InstaTeams™ and PermaTeams™. You play as an individual and for your team. Each player will have an ELO-esque rank which will be updated each time they play. There will be two 'teams' and players can choose to play a team vs team game (Team Member A/A vs Team Member B/B) Any games with A/A vs B/B will be counted ranked as an individual and team game. Team games are mandatory.

Why FlexiTeams™?

PermaTeams™ provide great team 'spirit' and encourage competition but due to low numbers of Defcon players, creates unbalanced results (elites vs noobs/newbs, active vs hardly here, etc) and often prevents games from actually starting because you can end up with 10 people from one team showing up with 1 person from the other (when you need at least two).

"Go Team Edward!!", "Grr, Team Jacob" *smacks Team Edward with shovel*

No Instateams

Because it has been a self-generated discussion over different pages without anyone waiting for Turgon's input, I would guess.

Flexi teams are going to be annoying if allowed. I currently have a nice, large spreadsheet, and I don't want to have to add/track a duplicate W-L-T column to represent non-team games played.

I agree with CZA.

By the way, all this arguing and no one seems to be playing? Every match seems to have a combo of mot/R3D/baton playing. Where are all the other players?

[Turgon]

Teams - 2 players from the same team can partner up and play. Can not intermix Schub players with mot players. only Mot players vs schub players will be counted as a tour game.

@jon - Ive also noticed this. There are lots of mot team members around to play. I have already notified team mot that Id like to see r3d and mot play with their other team members. If this continues Ill move a few team members to alleviate the problem

I'm not an expert in spreadsheets, however, I can tell you that you don't need a duplicate column. You just need to have a team indicator and then let the spreadsheet identify only true team games and ignore the rest. I used 'a', 'b', 'c', etc.

Example (simplified)

Code: Select all

(mrMot\R3D vs Ace\Schub)
1 mrMot  |  A  (1st position in log, check for 1-2 match, 1-4 and 2-3 mismatch, 3-4 match, marked as team game 'x')
1 R3D    |  A  (copy above indicator 'x' or blank, for non-team game, ie. if # = above line then copy indicator, otherwise do check)
1 Ace    |  B  (ditto)
1 Schub  |  B  (ditto)

(mrMot\Ace vs R3D\Schub)
2 mrMot  |  A  (1st position in log, same checks as before, 1-2 mismatch, marked as non-team game 'blank')
2 Ace    |  B  (ditto)
2 R3D    |  A  (ditto)
2 Schub  |  B  (ditto)

Well, i do not know what logic is this but in any tourney it is TEAM who participate that decides who will play and not who manage tourney . You can not decide for us who will face for example ACE & SCHUB. The main goal is team victory and consequently WE (not YOU) decide who will fight certain players and who will wait his moment, so i do not care too much what you would like to see. I ,like player, want to decide who will be my teammate. So if we do not agree about this you can end tourney this moment. We have teams and we play. Take me away anybody of my players and i am out.

Nice, Ace, but your Excel Wu-Tang Style is unstoppable!

[nuclear cocaine]

From watching him play I think TAZ is BATTLETRON how he loads up on fighters silo and fleet position ..... Ill bet its him

[Baton101]

Changing and putting some unlogical rules will make some people quit the tourney.including me.

[Ace Rimmer]

Need one Worm Ding.

Changing rules??? I said id move players. There are always several schub players around and not to many mot players so maybe exchanging a few might help things out. But by all means baton if you'd like to quit please do. In the end it won't make much of a difference anyway

Read the post to baton. Same applies to you or anyone else for that matter. You guys need to relax a bit. Its only a game man

Hi Pink. Glad to hear your life gets in the way of this damn game You'll be more than welcome when your ready to have a few games.

@mrmot, Baton & R3d - Sorry if I come across as rude and unyielding. I'm a bastard
Mrmot your the captain of your team and as such are expected to at least try to include your team mates in some of your games. Baton and R3d as well. You 3 are the most skilled players in your group and have a lot to offer your fellow team mates in terms of tactics and strategy. I'm not saying that you guys should completely stop playing with each other. That would be dull and boring and that's not fun. Just try to play with others on your team too.

Soooo all that being said what id like to suggest is maybe trading a few players to mots team (that are active) and taking 1 a from mots team and putting them on schub's. This may get more games going.

But if something like this is so traumatic for you 2 (mot, bat) please feel free to leave. I'm not going to beg you to be reasonable.
