Emblazon

its a slow process of moving towards a pub that doesnt have wasted parts. north isnt necessary to have, so removing it is what this beta map is focused on. but, without north, the safety in south is a little.. out of place. safeties are rarely used anyway, so having four isnt a big deal.

For your information, we get 20+ on a daily basis, with at least 4v4 in pub every day. If that's no one, then fine. Albeit, they are on during very early hours in your timezone, but that has always been a problem for 17th. There aren't that many European players as compared to the NorthAmerican players. Perhaps you could get some of the old Euros to start playing agian, guys like naedhaha and JIMTHECHIN (start playing again u freaky !@#$%^&*).

You do...

Please check out ?go publicbeta3 and tell us if you think this map should go to pub or not.

cough. what?

exactly. like i said, it only takes away from what the main focus of pub is intended to be, soccer. the base is a good design, good concept, but wrong gameplay. it would work well for an event, but not as an option in pub. 17th's description is "Tactical Soccer Basing Action", and theres no soccer up north. i accdiently voted no to my own poll tho :doh:

North is rarely used for what it was originally intended for. All-in-all, it adds nothing to the focus of pub, which is the soccer game. Players rarely go north to collect the flags. This part of the map had been removed at one point, and it came back when the zone had to be restored. So, this time around, I thought I'd ask you, the players, how you feel. Do you want it up there or not? If so, it'll stay. If not, it'll get replaced with blank space, and the safe zones will be modified to be in each corner, like the map in ?go publicbeta. Please post your feedback here.

Sorry to interrupt that actually interesting idea.. but I feel I must post this...

Updated for week 7 results.

ive always loved the zone. ive been here for over 5 years, and ive never called any other zone my "home zone". i did run KI for a while.. but theres a reason im back in 17th and its not because KI didnt go anywhere. and you'd be absolutely halfway right. lol. i do think that events have become stale and.. pretty much.. all jav. im not saying all events are jav-based, but most of the popular ones are, and this day in age, we dont have the javelin population for those events to support the zone. so, new multiship events need to be made to make up for this loss of javelin population. but also, id rather not make major changes to pub. history has proved that the players are never more than 50% satisfied with pub. it has been tried, and tried, and tried, and tried again. i truly believe what pub needs is to be taken out of the spotlight that it has been under for the past 3 years and divide that light throughout the entire zone. pub needs to have the focus taken off of it. have we forgotten so soon that the constant changes to pub nearly killed the zone off for good? the zone needs stability more than anything, and constant, unchanging pub is, in my view, a good step towards that.

Simple fact.. vegita is good. Vegita, just rejoin staff. You know you want to. Quit your job and leave your life behind to live the awesome, online 17th life. thats living. I too like this idea. we may just put something like this into action, we'll keep ya posted. i have been working on many events with various people, including chambahs, manus, driverx, nahtaivel gnik, etc. and the reason for that is that i really think pub is fine the way it is, and history has shown that changing pub, no matter how grand the idea, doesnt really work all that well. so our focus isnt on pub. events keep players interested, fresh events keep players in the zone. of course, its only in the beginning stages, so bear with us. its a whole new concept, and its all based around balance among the ships.

If it was that simple, even pernille would have gotten it <_< . In all seriousness though, if it was that simple, it would have been done already. Anyone that knows me and what I've done for this zone knows how long I've been here, and Vile couldn't have said it any better than he did. I've seen all the things staff has tried in the past. I've heard all the things people suggest. I've heard all the miraculous plans to save 17th. I do admit though that I agree with Trip', however, this was not a new concept. We have been wanting to get more weekly events going, it is just a matter of what events and when to do them. Perhaps we can give this topic meaning, and have people post what they would like to see be a weekly event in 17th. I know there aren't many players using this forum these days, but every little bit counts.

Considering how the zone had been for the months prior to my rejoining staff and accepting the HSysOp position, the zone had 0-3 players max. At least now, we have our spike of population each day, getting about 15-30 in the zone during those times. The zone isn't in great shape, by any means. But, in my opinion, it is doing better than it was under the guidance of previous HSysOp.

aelig.. they are in the pinned topic above.. like they are every week. ive just been updated the original DT post that cord posted. turnout pop was 12, our normal. tho, we've had over 40 different ppl enter the tournament (ive checked most aliases, but its still not 100% accurate of course).

Updated for week 6 results.

Cord was this week vs. Black Coyote!! in the finals. Full results and statistics will be available shortly.

ill say this as simply as i can for you delic. you werent banned because your opinions differed from my own. you were banned because all the negativity you spread on this forum will only make the zone look bad to potential new players. ive never claimed to be the perfect sysop, but order has to be maintained on this forum. i dont randomly ban people for my own enjoyment. I did it because in my view, it was the best action for the zone. however, i do realize that this is abusive and there are other ways of handling the situation. i have removed the restrictions on your delic account.

aelig> ATTENTION SNOo: I did not feel like typing "::". So I am typing in pub chat. If your name is not Emblazon, please, please place this sentence on the forums. If I see this tomorrow and you are the poster, I will make sure (hold on, ran outta space) aelig> you recieve a link to a website that has exclusive access that is ran by yours truely. aelig> it's a nice website really, could be porn, pirated software, free music, WHO KNOWS?!?!?! aelig> IM CRAZY?!?!

The 17th Parallel Duel Tournament Series Week 6 match will take place, and it will be this Sunday, Sept 10, at an earlier time (6:30pm EST). Just a week late, that's all. If we don't get a decent turnout this week either, we will move on to something new.

Delic wasn't banned from 17th forums because of his comments concerning DT. Delic has posted nothing but negativity in every topic and for a zone that is trying to attract new players, these type of responses on our forum makes the zone look bad. Every new idea for the zone has been shot down because Delic doesn't agree with it. News flash, Delic isn't in charge of 17th. I found it justified and absolutely necessary to restrict Delic's posting priviledges based on all of his actions, not just those pertaining to DT.

Week 6 has been postponed for the time being. We are trying to decide if we want to end this series and begin with a new type of league. Perhaps you players can help us out and give us some recommendations on what you would like to see be 17th's next league/event. Keep in mind, population still isn't as high as it used to be, so such leagues as JWL and SBL may struggle to get enough participants.

take care sama. youll come back one day, everyone does. maybe youll still have a spot on 17th staff and.. lies. theres still rhcp_chick

if you dont like the way i run things, then do just what all the gollums did to vile and complain to mike about it. see how far that gets you. i talk to mike on a weekly basis, so we'll see what you come up with

for the past 5 weeks, it has been included in the description of this event that it can be multiship (see the pinned duel tournament topic). also, jav-only leagues will fail right now, and i guarentee we would not have had enough people for week 5 if it had not been multi. the event was never intended to be jav-only, we have just done jav-only for the first 4 weeks.

Week 5 results/stats are now available. Cord won, runner-up was pacman.
