Ladle 79

[woof]

(correct me if i'm wrong)

You're wrong.

9. Substitutes may be added until the start of the semi-finals. After the semi-finals begin, a team needs the approval of the opponent to add a substitute.

Wap was added to the team before the start of the semi-finals, if you refuse to let go of this watch the recording and see for yourself . But gm's!

Yeah, kind of sad to look at your own members forced to watch the match from spec, simply because you want to play with a player who isnt even on your roster.

Yeah, kind of sad to see an alias post on the forums after every ladle trashing Redemption and praising KS - maybe use a real name and some of us might think your posts aren't entirely irrelevant.

Really disappointed by the problem I faced in Light's server. In there, my ping somehow kept fluctuating between 800 and 2500, which made spectating the matches there really hard, let alone play in them. Afterwards I discovered this was probably only the case in Light's server. I might also add that I was the only one who experienced this.

To my surprise, when I entered CT LIV to watch KS against Derp Derp, everything seemed to be fine there. I was then asked to play for RD, and seeing as I hadn't played yet, I took the opportunity. I don't think any rules were broken, because KS didn't object against my playing for RD. De facto, remaining silent is the same as giving approval in this case.

I had no intentions of causing drama, I just wanted to play. Thanks to KS for being a good sport about that, thanks to RD for letting me play, and grats to the winners, you played well.

why so hostile woof? i specifically said we didn't care but i'm simply pointing it out for future reference, so nobody gets revenge-dq by someone who does care

praise christ

Woof - I like how you completely ignore the issue at hand, which is you using a player that is on the roster for a totally different clan while you have enough members on the server to fil your ranks, and bash me for being an alias.
Way to go.
Anyhow, I'm not an alias. It's my only account, and my name in game is "jsour". While probably unknown to you, I'm still part (even if really small) of the community and I was simply voicing my opinion on, in my mind, silly move on your clan's side.
And well. I like KS. I'm a fan. Judge me.

This.

I work every Sunday until 4PM EST, so I usually can't make it home until the very end of every ladle, but at least this gives me enough of a window to peek at what our finals line-up is. The last few times I've come home to see MR and Wap playing for my team, and at least 3-5 spectators wearing Rd tags. We tell ourselves we're getting too big as a clan, and we pretend to entertain the idea of a second team, but really, the bench just gets bigger and warmer. It especially lame if we even broke the rules to acquire wap...

Maybe it would be more appropriate to post this in my own forum's private section, but I already tried that last ladle when this happened.

What about implementing the warmup system, the ready-up-thingy you probably know from pickup, into ladle? From my experience timeouts are requested 1-2 times a ladle and it's always a tense situation because you have about 10 seconds from the end of one match to the start of another for communication. This time it didn't work and a misunderstanding led to some problems. What do you do after a problem? Make sure it doesn't happen again!

The warmup system is good for it because you need everyone to ready up and there's no doubt you were ready when the match starts (both were problems yesterday and also in some previous tourneys). Against abuse (dragging stuff out with it) there could be a 3-minute or 5-minute rule to keep possible delays short.

As I'm not up to par with the development at the moment, on which server types would this be available? It's the only (but possibly large) problem I would see with it because I've only seen it on v0.4 so far and ladle servers commonly run v0.2 right now.

As far as I know, it's still our decision if that's an issue or not, not yours. You sound like you have a say in this, which you don't.

... I was simply voicing my opinion on, in my mind, silly move on your clan's side.
And well. I like KS. I'm a fan. Judge me.

Silly move on your side in this case, it's obvious that you're trying to provoke wolf, because this has nothing to do with the rest of your post. Can you please try to avoid drama? Thanks.

On-topic: I guess I can only blame my connection for the disconnect, but I like vov's idea, I think this hasn't only happened to me so far and could solve similar issues in the future.
I won't vote on servers because my connection really sucked yesterday. Congratulations Ks, well played.

Dude, I'm not provoking anyone. I gave MY OPINION, on something that took place during the last ladle. And that in MY OPINION shouldn't take place at all.
Is it really that hard to accept the fact that someone may have different opinon than you without your bunch acting like little, butthurt children?
And what are you trying to say? That I'm biased? Saying that as member of rd makes you biased too by default, so what kind of point are you trying to make? Jesus.

Gms CTa, unk, and ks! Grats on another ladle win ks. I had fun

+1 Light's - Performed great, only a few rare slides here and there. Sucks about wap's ping though, not sure what happened

[misterplayer]

Was fun, Gm's

(nice try, especially REDIE BOO!, LOL!)

[sinewav]

Let's all take a deep breath and relax. I would rather read server feedback from you instead of clan rabble.

Also, I can't see any realistic way to implement a Time Out system, and I'm sure the idea will have many opponents. I just get nervous because it seems more and more people are having connection problems and it would be nice if the games were decided on skill and not random disconnects. I guess this is simply the state of the modern Internet. Too many users for the infrastructure and too much greed from the companies who provide Internet services. [/rant]

[ppotter]

Light's +1 No problems for me.


Isn't the 'warm up' thing something contributes to the feeling of instability of pickup servers? Wouldn't like to play ladle on any of those.
