--- Quote from: Gilder on July 04, 2013, 10:20:17 pm ---Yeah, all the babies cried and they caved like I thought would happen. Yet after it was used once, no one ever used it so in the end...it was funny to watch everyone panic over something so insignificant. Lot of ruffled feathers over nothin.

...I wouldn't have put it quite like this, but I agree with the latter portion of Gilder's post... It really was a panic over nothing in hindsight.
Captain Smollett:
At the end of the day I think the change has a bit more to do with mines than taracide; as self inflicted mine deaths are quite a common occurrence in the beta test right now.
Otherwise you could just run up and lochnagar facemine suicide everyone non stop til you won the match.
Entertaining I'm sure, but probably not balanced.
N-Sunderland:
The Brood was running short on players today and was going to use some of the Raft crew, until they were informed that any player playing on team x cannot play on team y the following week. May you point out where this rule is stated, since I certainly don't see it anywhere?
--- Quote ---Substitutes and Backups are permitted, but they are not permitted to play for more than one team a week.
This is to prevent floating players that switch teams and play every week, although it's not perfect. Players caught skirting this and playing for multiple other teams during their team's off-weeks to boost their positions will be dealt with. Let teams rise and fall on their own merits, not on the merits of their substitutes.

All it says is that people can only play on one team per week.

Anybody? Maybe? This really killed the Brood's match yesterday.
Swallox:
I've already talked about this with both Jace and Squash... Bouncing members between teams to maximise a team's chances is unacceptable either way, but I admit that I have also screwed up. The quoted rule is last season's setup... Which relied a lot on players not abusing the trust given to them. For this season, a new rule was planned and written up, but I failed to put it in this rules thread... Like everything else I do on this forum, I missed the details.
I'll update it later this week... But as a sidenote: The Ducks were scheduled to play three matches with three teams yesterday... Which means that you should have been prepared to field three teams. So I'm afraid I have to call bullshit on Brood's lack of members, as I only told Squash and Smollett of the changes a couple of hours before the matches.
If the Ducks are unable to field three unique crews, they should not have three unique teams. It's really that simple.
