yupe.

come on!
HC select by friday SBT, then two days of drafting until sunday SBT. territory draft on tuesday, 3 days for planning and BFI on the next saturday. campaign starts in two weeks wooo!

I think it would be folly to move so quickly. I hope we can have HCs if not the entire officer corps selected by this time next week. Have the player draft done and have the draft day scrim two weeks from now. Rushing through the drafts will make for another imbalanced campaign, I think.

Also, I would like to see one or two scrims between the draft scrim and BFI. One complaint I heard, which I agree with, is that C5 ended right as squads/armies began to really "click". Having a couple scrims will help the armies develop before the battles start to count.

If we did have scrims before draft scrim, the campaign wouldn't officially start till end of June. But it also wouldn't make sense b/c if we scrim before the draft, armies haven't even been selected yet and people haven't been drafted yet. So everyone would "click" and then be put into different armies on the draft scrim.

Before?...


Draft scrim May 25, scrim Jun 1, BFI Jun 8 is what I would propose.

Necromancer wrote:1) what is 'draft scrim'? what do we need to scrim for if we get drafted regardless of our performance on that day? hell, the people doing the draft ain't even playing.

2) why not open ABC for signups now?

Necromancer wrote:because... i don't see the meaning of it.
all the HC are in their own channel discussing stuff, server isn't full, some one is picked up to FC some unknown and unprepared map, and then people just fool around without clear orders or direction and it feels 101% like pub.
so... why do it?
or rather - why do it this way? its a waste of time.
instead of doing the draft on saturday just before SBT (and more likely done by sbt + ~1.5)
get it done by thursday, there is no problem with it since its not live anyway, and make a proper scrim on saturday.

The incentive thing could be as simple as extra risk cards, or deciding who gets to go first or the Territory Draft. I wouldn't go so far as extra divisions though.

Also, my disappearance from GC would be less from RL and more from lack of a computer to handle BF3.
