***TBML 8 SEASON MODE***

[PLAYER36-SA-]

I thought that meant that we would "sift" the season back, so the last game is still the same as it would have been, just a week later. What I was thinking is that we would have done dogmeat last Tuesday, then Emerald Swamp next Tuesday, etc.

Thats the way I understood it too Player. So what the hell are we doing with this. Whats next weeks map going to be or is there going to be a next map. We all have to have our crap together for next week.
I say if you played "dogmeat" then game over. If game wasn't started then those teams play a double header on next tuesday.
Emerald swamp for next tuesday. Except for the ones that didn't play dogmeat. Then it will be Dogmeat and Emerald swamp for them.
For those that played emerald swamp then they have a bye week next tuesday.
Lets get this back on the right track. If schedule goes to long then we might lose more players to family vacations and such.

Wow, what a cluster. I guess some things are as clear as mud. The logical question is why to mess up the map rotation when make-up games should be played at the end of the season? Player, CB even told you this the other night.

I think we're going to lose more players due to indecision/confusion rather than family vacations at the end of april, which is not exactly the height of vacation season(especially since easter and the majority of spring breaks were in march this year).

If we can get any of the captains to comment, this is what we need to know:

Should makeup games be handled at the end of the season? Or should we have a double header night?

Since the league already runs to 10pm est on a regular night, it's doubtful we'll be able to have people who work and the younger players hang around another 1/2 hour to play more games.

If we had actually implemented my suggestion this week, the map rotation would not have changed at all, each map would have just been shifted back a week. But now because of that misunderstanding it's probably better to do makeup games at the end of the season. CB might have mentioned something about that Tuesday, but it would have been nice if he had actually posted here so we could have cleared things up before Tuesday.

[dad]

Problem is, everyone so far has been reactive and not proactive.

CB started running the this week's map(emerald swamp) on his TBML preload server a week ago Tuesday. It was obvious to me that this was the intended map for the week, dogmeat was not running, I must have been the only person that noticed.

CB didn't need to post here Player. You asked him in a pick-up game Tuesday and he answered.

Bottom line is we need to move forward.

If it's only one game, skip it for now and follow the schedule. You can decide in the next couple of weeks if you want to append that to the end of the season.

That gives players time to see the changes that will happen down the road. Otherwise it's changing every week from this point on.

Dates match,
Keeps things moving

I'll update the schedule if necessary.

[Reggie Taco]

If we can, I say we have a double header night to speed the season up...although I feel that will be hard to accomplish for the reasons Dad stated.

If that is not doable, then just tack on the missed games to the end of the season. Keep the maps the same as the published regular season schedule and replay the missed games (and corresponding maps for the missed date) at the end of the season.

My 2 cents,
Reggie

[dad]

I agree with Smacky. Problem is, there are quite a few "captains" here who are not active.

Napalm, thanks for your help...I guess at this point we are looking at two weeks to make up. First map would be dogmeat where loading problems existed, the 2nd map was Emerald Swamp where no game servers were up.

Also, I don't see this week's map, Pillbox Plateau, on a TBML preload server, CB, do you normally handle this?

Dash, can we count on you to have the three game servers running on Tuesday?

Thanks

I handle putting my maps up. I posted links as a "announcement" on top of the Leagues Forum 12-08-07. This is all that is needed for all players to get into these maps. I'm not sure anyone reads the forums, or post. It's been posted here (http://forums.planetthinktanks2.com/Thi ... um.php?f=3) for almost 4 months. It is the captains job to make sure all teammates have all this loaded and are ready for play. This is why I did not captain because I don't have the time for this on on top of ptt2 work and personal things. The first link are the terrain files, and the second is Dazzles all in one Upgrade pack.

Theres no reason for any player not being able to get into a map.

[dad]

Could someone please host the map a week in advance? This would enable all players to make sure the game is loaded before game night.

Seems as though there are occasional problems joining which was proven a couple weeks ago, even if you did have the dowload.

It would be nice to make it as simple as possible to ensure we get the games and the season completed.
