First off, fantastic work with creating the module which has made work much more easier for hosts and improved gameplay. -The only suggestions I make is a statistics report right after a win. I.e. checks,saves,passes,assists,etc. To trigger it, there should be a "goals needed to win" which I suggested to be 5b1. Other people seem to like it at 7b2, but in my opinion, the game just drags on for way too long (in excess of even an hour, shit went up to 11-11 before I think). -With the hat trick tracker, I think it's best to have it at 3 goals a game. In a game of cricket, it's 3 in a row which is quite rare. 3 goals a game would work best with a 5b1 game. -The Icing counter seems to be quite a nice idea. Players seem to like getting rid of the ball right before they get checked and there follows a massive crowd. Resulting in a very back and forth game, also because everyone just follows the ball with no set positions (def,attack,mid) An icing counter would be nice in preventing/penalizing players like that. Well there you have it, goodluck.

What exactly made Devastation successful back in the old days? Is there a difference between today's Deva and back then? I think I only started playing around 09 on and off and started playing full time in 10-11 so I've got no idea. I enjoy the zone and the community here as well way more than any other zone. TM's a great guy, even if he doesn't really dev, he brings in the pop which makes the zone tick. When he's not here it's like dead, so kudos to him. But anyway, here's my take on what should be done: 1. It seems that every time the server's down we lose a lot of the population. I think we were hitting in the highs of pop near 20 and even mid 20's every night for a certain period and then the server went down for a day or two. So it wasn't put back up quickly enough. I heard rumors of a server change/upgrade, if that gets Deva a better host then that would surely prevent downtime for days which would in turn keep the population hopefully stable. 2. Getting the forums active. It seems the only means of communication with players old or new besides getting into the game. If we get more people to actively participate in forums we can better set up bigger games days or weeks beforehand. This would also help with setting up league as well. 3. When we do have the population to play, it should start off with a flag game. The type of flag game I'm looking for is just to win it. When we're playing flag games, it seems the objective is not to win but to just keep it going which just bores me. I know I've heard other people talking about winning the jackpot and even myself and TM just says > Why?, we got a good game going. Well mate, I want the fucken creds and it's stupid because I've got to log off sooner or later and some dude can just log in without playing and win the damn jackpot. After the flag game, it's best to follow it up with events to keep people interested and jesus christ, not the same shit over and over again please. It seems when we play an event, we play it for the whole night, we should only be playing an event once or twice at max. Anyway, there's my take on things in Devastation at the moment. It's certainly not hard to get population when we have around 15-25 every night, we had that for a week I remember. It's a great zone with a great community and it'll get the people. I'll be looking to help again if I'm allowed since I've got a bit of spare time nowadays. Ending my long rant now. Comments? Improvements? Suggestions?

Flagging league would be pretty cool, split the flags I guess with the objective to win. BDL would be easier to go with. Any of the two would be great, although how do we get the players? We need two squads in the zone instead of just Obsidian. If it does get going, maybe we can get a system going where it's acknowledged that we have won. Sort of like TW styled thing where they've got medals next to names and #season won. Just a suggestion.
