The Cogs - Season 2 Rules and Format
N-Sunderland:
--- Quote ---Clans that have multiple teams will be required to have their players and substitutes locked onto a team for the season once they play for that team.
--- End quote ---
You have to be joking.
Captain Smollett:
That's ridiculous.
This is a rule that only effects us and is crazy.
What exactly is the problem with subs playing for different teams. No one wants to use a sub ever, it always puts you at a disadvantage. How could a substitute help anyone other than allowing them to actually be able to play a week where one of their members can't make it.
Why do you guys want to make it harder to get a team together than it already is? Let us just play the games, who cares who's playing on each team. Why does it matter?
Captain Smollett:
What's going to happen to all the rugged men subbing for BFS. Can they not play in this week's match now? Will they be forced to join BFS forever? What if people want to switch clans?
What is stopping players from changing their names or playing under different accounts?
We frequently had ducks playing for smaller teams in the Cogs when they were just starting out so that they were able make their matches. There were also a pool of unaffiliated players who could fill rosters for different teams every week. These were the things that made the Cogs possible, that gave competitive and interesting matches every week, and helped keep the community close knit.
These new rules are Draconian, unwarranted and unenforceable. They serve no ascertainable purpose and I for one would like them to be reverted.

I am just going to go ahead and assume that season now means something much shorter. Locking anything for two months seems ridiculous.
If this had been implement last season I would probably no longer be playing this game. Early on when I first started playing I was used a last second replacement for the Paddling. Then I had a chance to play for the early Brood, before my quick foray into my own team the Dover before I went back to the Brood full time. I've gotten to help out PaFa in there as well. Some of the best online gaming in my life, wouldn't have happened because suddenly I would be tied to the Paddling.
Now look, if a team is intentionally floating members around to beat the system, I can understand actions being taken. However, subbing is 94% detrimental. If I had to sub Sunderland onto my ship, someone who I consider to be the best engineer in the game, I would still consider myself less than optimal because he is not my crew, he would be my sub.
I can understand the day before roster, however a season long lock is incredibly stiffing to people trying to join the system.

Apologies- I forgot to include this important piece of information in the previous post about the notice. The changes to the rules will not be effective for 7 days- this is to avoid making such an abrupt change. Tomorrow's match 7/19/2013 will not have the new rules.
