[CharlieGiteau]

you got negged for talking out of your ass(as usual)(whining about neg rep, i'm shocked.)Cass's team didn't force the forfeits, so it couldn't have been a KS move.

Lol, Cass even repped me on that one...

Why have it be the last draft just because this draft format hasn't worked AGAIN? After the last one, a suggestion thread was created. What was the popular consensus from it? Have draft tournaments take place on a weekend, so that people will know almost for certain whether they will be available for the entirety of the tournament or not.

Fitting really, should probably play the finals with just bazooka's and knives too.

dpk tried that, they removed bazookas from the TPG config after that.

BUT WHY WOULD PEOPLE SHOW UP FOR 2 DAYS OF DOD WHEN WE CAN SPREAD IT ACROSS TWO WEEKS WHEN THEY DONT SHOW UP ANYWAYS?!


That's pretty much the response I got when I was trying to push for a weekend/single day draft.
Nobody wants to admit they are online all day on a weekend. The problem is, 70% of this small community is. And who the **** cares who will and wont show up. Maybe some of the lower main/IM people would show up and then could ACTUALLY play instead of sitting there as a ringer.

**** all these "high level players" who think the game revolves around their participation, and if THEY can't show up on weekend then nobody else can either.

I noticed your sense of humour. And you never negged me before so you have plenty of credit.

And Charlie, don't take defiance too serious, he reads everything in a literal way!

Tempted to rep but right now Ithink we are the guys below - you're the blue shirt guy, I'm the black shirt fella and Ricky Schiwiaisiaosiaoisosow is flying kick guy who is negging you for negging me)

If you run a 2 day tournament it is IMPERATIVE to have admins on the spot at all times, to handle disputes and other nonsense. Other than Pat most admins do stuff on the weekends. ZiNG. Not only would you have to devote a lot of time as a player but even more so as an admin. With this draft format we have a day or two to handle disputes which makes it easier. And your "**** these high level players" comment could be directed at your team.. Most of the ringers are NOT high level players, same could be said for some backups. But most captains will NEGLECT to get ringers or use backups because they are NOT HIGH LEVEL PLAYERS. Captains will rather try to reschedule for another date than just using what they have and finding ringers. In three drafts I have NEVER had a problem rounding up 6. Drafting active players should be something to keep in mind, it is not always the "BEST" player you should draft. Blame it on the 2 week schedule all you want.. This will be the last draft because YOU THE COMMUNITY failed to step up and DO YOUR PART. As a team captain you are allowed to make TWO other players on your roster schedulers... I wonder how many captains actually did that? You have 20+ Players to choose from. When two of the match Dates were scheduled on Sundays (TPGS DEFAULT DAY) and there are still ff's.. The community is not doing THEIR part.

Thanks for running them anyway. I thought they were fun, although I ended up mostly bailing from the first two due to being an asshole and thinking my prior commitments would go away. I don't think we ever forfeited because we always had scott smith ready to pwn.
