You can put me down on the perma-list. Gz winners btw.
We can negate it by having the average points per game. It can work with uneven teams too.Quote:

So the team with 2 people wins the cup by having a better points-per-game average.
If I rerember corectly Gotem is from Mexico and can join team North America along with cimethink. If he signes up for the next season.
DeVadder, Maetco and parpel (if he shows up) can form Team Europe.
I'd like to suggest a compromise for next month: how about if we carried on with the current divisions format, but I add an additional table that tracks the average score for each team? That way the organisation of the season's tournament is nice and easy (I'm a very lazy person and easy=good) and we can also see, once and for all, which arbitrary geographic region is best.
I concur with everthing above.Quote:

Also if it were up to me divisions 1 and 2 would be kept as stable as possible (regarding to changes made because people skip seasons, there are different number of players each season, etc.) and if someone has to "suffer" from the forced changes (meaning that if something is changed because someone comes up with a better way to do things, it's not forced) it would be the lowest division.
Eg. Let's assume that 5 players per division is optimal. Then divisions 1 and 2 would have 5 players as long there are 13 - 15 players total. If there are only 12 then every division would have 4 and if there are 16 players we would have 4 divisions of 4.
For some reason all of my posts are sent to moderators to be reviewed. The last time this happened the post never showed up in the forum for some reason. Hope these will.
Happy upcoming holidays! So, is there any info about the new season? Should we be starting after the 25th?
sure, I'll join next season, just hope we start after 25, I guess skipping family reunion to kill a few red guys can be grounds for divorce.
wondering, since RED introduced soem kind of co-op. can there also be 2vs2 matches?
oh, and Fumarole, what about some team practice matches?
I'm going to start signups officially next week, although you can add yourself to the roster immediately. The season probably won't start until the first Saturday of the New Year (i.e. the 5th) to give everyone a chance to get over the hangover.
I don't think there's a 2v2 mode, it's only 2vCPU as far as I know. I might be wrong.
Has anyone got any thoughts on my compromise? I think it's pretty close to the team scenario without too much reorganisation. Or would you prefer to completely scrap the divisions?
Hmm, i do not mind. Admitably i will mosty play for the individual result though. ^^
In case you do not know, i am from germany, whatever team that ends me in. :)
Certainly, throw some challenges my way. Unless you'd prefer me to challenge since I have Red and I don't think you do yet?Quote:

We'll see how the whole team thing goes and maybe can utilize it for future seasons. So far it seems like we got 5 teams:
team Europe (Maetco and DeVadder),
team Russia (Bigbobr99 and SergBeaver),
team Australia (bonuswavepilot, rodeoclown),
team UK (ColOfNature, gtsbaby, Hammers) and
team North America (Gotem and cimethink).
You are right.Quote:

The same to you my frozen friend!
Merry Christmas ! Hope Santa was good to you, and that he brought copies of the DLC for anyone who didn't already have it.
I still plan to start the new season a week on Saturday, in case anyone was wondering. I'll start a new thread for it soon.
New thread here.
