Feedback and Suggestions / Ability to assign roles to AI

Basically, the ability to click an icon next to [AI Crewman], bring up their 'character screen', and assign the roles, tools, and ammo you'd like them to have.

Community Events / "Meet the clan"?

« on: September 09, 2013, 05:36:01 am »

As long as I'm making suggestions, this is another one I've been kicking around...

I was just thinking that it would be kinda cool if once a week, there could be a recorded Skype conversation with the captains and crews of one of the rumble clans. One clan a week, and the interviewer would ask the same basic series of questions to each clan, so we can get a better feel for who they are and what they do.

It would just be a neat way to learn more about who is actually competing and get people more invested from a spectator's standpoint.

Community Events / Suggestion regarding larger tourneys

« on: September 09, 2013, 05:21:36 am »

Hello everyone. I'd like to start by thanking everyone involved for taking the time out to schedule, run, and cast TSR every week. It's an awesome experience and I know for us in Wolfpack, it's become something we look forward to each week. Urz, Papa, Brick, Imagine, you guys are awesome.

That said, I wanted to post a thought I had regarding tourney length. This week we saw a great turnout for the tourney, with 7 clans vying for the win. It's great to see, but at the same time I saw a number of comments regarding how long the tourney ran.

I was thinking that instead of streaming every match, perhaps matches could be run simultaneously. In the case of two matches running at the same time, one could be live streamed while the other could have a referee watching the action and breaking into the live broadcast with score reports, when a team wins a match or series. This referee could perhaps also be recording the match, and afterward a highlight reel or the match in full could be posted on the twitch site.

This would allow everyone to view their performances while also having less wait time, without having to change the format to a "one-and-done" like the COGs etc. I personally feel the "best of 3" approach is a great one, especially for clans new to competitive play, as it gives them an opportunity for a comeback. I also feel the victories are more decisive with a "best of 3" format.

Anyhow, just a thought, and thanks again for all the work you guys put in. Can't wait for next week!

General Discussion / WARP DRIVE

So, we had an amusing little velcro glitch this week in the Sunday Rumble, and I felt it was worth sharing, because it was hilarious:

All credit goes to Urz for making the video, doing the broadcast, organizing the rumble, and just being an overall cool guy
