DL PvP CTF Tournament

[Itisi]

You know, I really like how all of you are rescheduling just so you can get all your main players in the tourney. Don't you appreciate all the crap that Ax went through, all the math, the thinking, it took her to come up with this? Can't you be a little more considerate? It's just for fun, let your backups play. Rescheduling just causes her to have to change and keep track of more. I understand the problem with Zeit as they are furthest from any time but so many people rescheduling now because they did? :/

I appreciate what you're saying Iti.

In the case of Dark Legendz and Madhouse, they agreed between themselves for a time that would not disturb any other matches, so I had no problem changing the time.

With Zeitgeist, it seems the GMTs were different than I thought, so I had to change several matches (domino effect) in order to improve things for them, as they had several players in completely different GMTs than I first assumed.

As for AOTA, like I said to Flare, if I can change it to a time that will neither disturb other matches or be bad for the opposing team, I'll try to do so. But yeah in most matches GMT difference makes options limited. I agree with what you say, I'm sure AOTA has backups to replace players who will be unavailable.

In any case, I did ask everyone if they have a problem with the time to post it here. The reason I did, is because with some guilds (Zeitgeist, IX, Scorched, AOTA), I don't know the exact GMTs of all the players, so I'm just guessing based on the preferred time or the GMTs I happen to know. That might cause problems (like it did with Zeit). I asked for individual GMTs during signup for that reason.

But yeah I agree with you, the purpose of the tournament is to have fun so all guilds should include as many players as they can. Don't get just your best players to play. Give your backups the chance to play as well!

Itisi,
I am quite surprised to hear from somebody who is not even participating in the tournament.
To address your ranting, we are individuals with real jobs and a life outside the game.
That counts for me most of my guild mates.
In terms of back ups, most of our "back ups" are not listed as so due to a lack of being skillful, it's mainly based on availability and the desire to play. So it's not like our "starters" are our best five.
In all honesty,Itisi, you should not be even talking here as your initial posts on this thread suggested that you would be co ordinating a team to come up with to be able to participate in this tournament, which clearly you have failed to do.
With regard to Axania, I think she already knows how appreciative our entire guild is for coming up with this idea and taking the time to co ordinate matches.
At the end of the day it is up to the teams and the guild members to decide what works best for them, and if the organizer of the tournament is in agreement everybody else should just mind their own business.
Thank you.
