7th Saga

I personally love the 7v7 max. it makes for better competition and more fun small pub. 8v8 would be fine too, but anything higher is too crowded. The only suggestion would be for the draft is to make it all on the bot. Have a draft enable mode and then people can !cap and !join. Then there is a list of players by typing like !list and then the caps can type !add playername or !remove playername. Then both caps can type !ready. Obviously this would probably take you some time if you wanted to implement it.

calm down, he will get it done before sundays game

good, would like to see the same settings.

Okay, got it to work. you could also under top members put a clause in that shows who is a captain on that squad or have a separate list. That can always come later though.

7th is making the team "gauntlet" to own all. that is all. oh wait that is not all. you should make it so that if you create a squad you auto join that squad. for some reason I am not a member of my squad.. and why can't I add anybody who requests to be on the squad? or there are no notifications or I don't see any where that I can Accept them

I mentioned in the council that our team was iffy for a week or so and then said after last week we were probably fully returning. more specifically I said that we might have a few players that couldn't make sundays because it is a busy fall. So you can chalk this up to me if you like.

I am wondering who pistol is...

Direct bombs do 750 damage + 80 damge from shrap. The shrap are inactive so they only do 10 damage each. 8*10 = 80. Active shrap do 190 damage, which are caused from not direct hitting. Which the damage calc is bullet damage *.9 so 212 * .9 rounded down to get 190 dmg.

Cres was using the average damage on his little graph, not all the possibilities. Obviously, if it was all the possibilites the graph would range everywhere, but when you take the average damage it should be a lot smoother curve. As your sample increases, the sample mean should be close to the real mean. The outliers (prox damage + a lot of shrap damage) don't occur very often in the whole picture of a game. It is probably <1% that someone actually gets proxed and then takes 600+ damage due to shrap. Actually, it is probably more like .01% if you really take every bomb explosion into effect. There hasn't been any data collected on this (that I know of), but from personal experience this doesn't happen very often to me or to what I've seen. Thus the conclusion is being a smoother graph because those outliers shouldn't affect the average damage over a larger sample when the high majority of the bombs do do a semi stable damage (lag takes play here as well to add more inconsistancy).

Obviously, you aren't missing someone because the bomb explodes. If you ever watch pros skim bombs so they do very little damage and the shrap doesnt hit them because it is predictable. The only situation where shrap become unpredictable is when you are in a tight space or are rep killed. These two areas add a bit more inconsistancy which, I believe, gives the game more character. Shrap add another level of difficulty for dodging. Just get better at predicting shrap (they are pretty obvious) and then dodge.

Sorry, I couldn't do 10 in a row. It is like 10 in the last 11 seasons.. I'll do better next time. Says the guy who is a pub scrub who can't even have a + rating nor anything close to a 1-1 k/d ratio http://www.svssubspace.com/?page=Pilot&id=Bargeld Says the guy with 2 games under his belt for current reset. -24 and +1, well done. http://svssubspace.com/?page=Pilot&year=2008&month=0&&id=7th You are looking at erat? the most flawed stat in the game? and the reset was not even 6 days ago..

Impressive, a basing game... I could go for some 8v8v8v8 or 6v6v6v6 basing games. even 6v6 or 8v8 would be fine Why is lurking always so mean? big meanie.

I've found that it is most important to play with a team you enjoy to play with. I've played on a number of squads and my last two I've noticed that I've enjoyed them the most due to active and fun players. A lot of the time if you are new and recruited to a higher tier squad due to potential, you won't play in the big games, but you'll be able to play/practice with the squad and play against other teams. The squads I've been on allowed newer players to play in a lot of games, but in the big time matches the best lineups are usually played. Newer players earn the right to play in these lineups after showing great promise or sometimes when people are gone they are given a chance to shine. I believe, for me, that it is more fun to play in those league matches, then to sit and get a free ride. The championships that I've won have been because I've played in them and helped obtain them. I may not be the best player ever, but I am fairly wise in ss strategy and play a good support role. If I didn't play in these games, I think that the free ride to me would mean nothing, but that is my opinion. ~7th, 7th Saga, Solartonix, Thundaga
