Sunday Community Skirmish #78 (Signups for Sunday November 22th)

<< < (4/6) > >>

Fynx:
I'm really happy that there were so many teams in this scs, comparing to the agony during the last weeks.

Sadly, the Bards did not participate and there was a stray GSR ship.
For people interested, it's good to contact pilots of potential second ships directly. Also there are clans with competitive experience that did not participate and possibly could do that, such as Overwatch, Ducks, SPQR(?). I recommend asking around when you're short on crews/pilots/ships.

And of course, I'm happy that Solaris made their way into competitive, with a very good result.

Definitely, and I also want to stress that the forums are probably not the best place for that, asking other pilots directly in game or over steam or something is likely to meet with more success.  A lot of people who play the game regularly don't browse the forums regularly, I know I hardly do aside from around SCS time.  I know a couple of groups, like DerWaechter and the IAC guys are pretty regularly looking for a second boat to fill out their roster, in addition to the veteran groups Fynx mentioned.

I also want to second the shout-out to Solaris, very strong first showing.  More teams in the tournament always means more fun for everyone, glad we had such a great turnout this week!

Byron Cavendish:
Had a fun time, thanks guys. Only issue I'd like to say is: in our second game, when we entered lobby we were told builds will be locked in, in 1 minute. Our first game did not have that rule, so I was not expecting it in the second game. Because we waited approximately 45 minutes, half of my team had wandered off and had to be collected. My priority when being told my lobby is up is to get in, then give my team the pw and get them to join on me. So I spent about 1-2 minutes getting my team found and in. The last thing I'm doing is reading lobby chat until everyone is in. So by the time we were settled, I was stuck with a build I did not want, and it really affected our plan going in.

 I would ask that, in the future, the rules stay consistent between matches, and are clearly stated prior to the day's start.  I am sitting there diligently waiting for the go ahead. That s plenty of time to tell me any changes, and I would be far more forgiving with even a 5 minutes heads up of any changes. I was not even given the slightest clue that our lobby was waiting or had changed rules until I was told "Byron, get in here, your lobby is waiting...". And I had asked multiple times on an ETA, that was not accurate. Also, when we are waiting that long, I do not wander. I am very punctual, and take getting in promptly seriously. So while I let my team wander a little after such a long wait, they know when I call that they need to be in within 2 minutes. I cannot however, juggle getting them in and dealing with a lock-in rule with no prior knowledge, that's not fun for us or the viewers if the ensuing game is not entertaining. All I ask is in the future, be clear and consistent with the rules, give me a heads up when our lobby will be expected to go up when we have waited an extended time. We had a very enjoyable first game, but that second one was ruined by the lobby for us.

Extirminator:
I was the referee in your match that "proposed updated rules", so I can comment on the situation a bit.
I was informed by lu, that I should make sure you know about the rule of loadout locking because he did not mention it in the first match you played. The reason for him not mentioning it was because in the match you played when he was your referee, both your team and your enemy team already spent a lot of time in the lobby so it was assumed by him that you already all picked your ships of choice - so a mentioning of the rule was not necessary. Which, I would admit, was a mistake on our part.

As for your match starting unexpectedly, and you being informed last second so to speak-
First of all, you are, as the contact point of your team should be expected to watch the stream, or at the very least should be aware of it so you can estimate when to get your team ready.
Second, the referees cannot be expected to contact teams that will play next WHILE the current match that they are referee on is still going. You are supposed to get a notice roughly 5 minutes before the start of your match to gather everyone and play. But let's put that aside for a second, I DID inform you that your team will be playing versus the winner of the current running match as I was referee on the match before you, which should imply to you that your team is playing in roughly 15 minutes -most likely enough time to get everyone ready.
Lastly, if the tone of my message of "Byron get in here" was a little rough, it was because I already informed you of your team playing 15 minutes before that specific message was sent, and have sent you a match invitation a minute before, which you have failed to accept.

Nevertheless, at least you are now equipped with information about the rules of the event to hopefully have a better time playing next time.

Hey Steamy, thanks for the shout-out, but it's a bit premature. We haven't filled our boat yet. When we do though, we will definitely be looking to pair with other clans for a competitive team.

Congrats on your SCS win!
