Nineteen Eleven

What community website is the source community using now?

- To interject my opinion on the matter:

1. I think we can all agree that the flame fest between the two communities would be on an epic level, once we are all put together on one community website. I would be really annoyed if people from another game were to go on here and interject there opinions about the rules we have in our game or the way we play it.

2. We don't need the traffic, honestly what are we going to gain together as a group? It isn't like there are any sponsors around that are seeking the attention of a few hundred gamers playing 2 dead games. They barely support CS 1.6 and CS:Source which have 50 times (probably much more) the ammount of competetive players. There just isn't a gain for the merger of the communities.

3. Maybe we can gain a few new teams to our game.. That is a possibility, however, what if those new teams brought in a few more cheaters. I mean if they don't really give two shits about DoD 1.3 and only care about Source then I could see more of a chance for them to cheat. At the very least- half of the teams will die before the season even gets to the 3rd week mark much like how the source teams in DCN worked out.

- The one suggestion I would have for adding Source to TPG is try a Draft first. It is the best way to test something with the least involvement. You don't really have to worry about admins keeping interest for too long and if 4 teams worth of players join up then maybe you have something worth trying. But, if it does work there really isn't much of an option left for 1911, you would want those source players to use 1911. It is the best and easiest way to get information accrossed. I hardly check the TGP website for rule changes or updates on whats going on with the scheduling for upcoming weeks.

All-in-all I would say no. I wish it could work and it probably could work, but no one is going to be happy about it and you might find the source community to be split in two. Kinda like how it took some of the dod community so long to switch from GotFrag to 1911.

yup.

I guess we are doing this anyway... http://www.tpgleague.org/dods6/

Yes but we are staying on TCN so it won't result in a giant trolling/flaming war between both communities.

I would like to know why you are picking Sunday as your day for this league, as it makes no sense.

Using TPG is a way for both our communities to come together. However, you are putting it right on the same night as our league. If you want more teams (like we do) Pick a different night.

Not sunday!

As of right now we're looking at Sunday. We know we'll be able to have stronger activity from source players, i.e., pubbers, south americans, realism, and the current and returning competitive source players if the league is on a Sunday, but limited activity from 1.3 players. If it seems like there will be enough participation from 1.3 to justify changing the day to Monday it could be a possibility. I'm still going to raise this issue with the other admins. The league will not be launching for about a month so there is plenty of time to pan these things out.

If it is on Sunday, I will make sure there are stiff penalties for not working with the opposing team to schedule a match to provide flexibility for 1.3 teams. For instance, more than 2 forfeit wins = not being eligible for playoffs. And matches wont need to be reported until Thursday to allow matches to be scheduled throughout the week. I do not know how the ranking system at TPG goes yet so this is of course just an idea, but if no cooperation is shown with the opposing team, then maybe we can find a way for it to effect them in the ranking system, where for example a FFW = 0 points, FFW (w/ no cooperation) = -1 point, and FFL = -2 points, while two or three FF anything = playoff ineligibility.

Or just don't make matches on Sundays if you want any 1.3 participation.

I am the one that told them not to worry about any 1.3 cross overs. if they wanted to play, they would be already. They need to focus on getting their community back in one place. Not hoping for teams from 1.3. Sunday is the best night for matches. Don't really matter what game it is. Thats why I suggested they just start out playing on sundays.
