Round 7 (of 14, mind you) will take place next weekend.
Didn't manage to schedule early, when I tried the servers were being updated, and then we had no biller connection etc. Poop.

Bots back up, so all should good for today's Pro League games and Chaos' fun'n'games!

As you may have noticed, the Central Biller went down last Wednesday around the time when the two week reset was supposed to occur. The Biller came back up a few hours later, but no reset occurred. After doing maintenance on the bot server yesterday, the Biller did not allow all the bots to log back in, and today it will no longer allow any connections from the bot server to log in. After some experimentation on my part to try and remedy the problem, in a hilarious turn of events, now I also can't log in! 

So, it appears that when the Biller came back up on Wednesday it launched in a bad state and needs to be rebooted. I've sent out the bat signal to try and get that done, but I have no idea when Priit will get to it.

So, if we have no bots, that will impact the weekend's games... The websites and forum remain up.

I'll update when I get more info, but I basically expect the Biller to get rebooted at some point and that will fix the problems. If you see the Biller reboot in the zone (green text that says "NOTICE: Connection to central database server restored"), please post that info here.

3pm:

Llamas - Symphony -- 1298858
B.I.A. - The Dark -- 1298859

4pm:
Watchmen - StarFire Elite -- 1298860
Assassins - OUTLAWS -- 1298861

Players on rosters will be locked in for all movement after this round and before the next. Technically only just before the next round starts, but with some leeway to protect any super ninja like kicks.

3pm:

Llamas - Assassins -- 1298583
The Dark - Watchmen -- 1298584

4pm:
OUTLAWS - B.I.A. -- 1298585
StarFire Elite - Symphony -- 1298586

And I'm pretty sure rostered pilots will be locked on to their respective squads before round 7. And playoffs will probably be 2 byes, 4 pro, 2 aml.

I can get into every other zone, apart from Chaos, which I was just in yesterday for league play. I don't know if it has anything to do with this or not, but I travel for work and I've been out of state for about 3 weeks, now I'm back home and my isp is different. Regardless my connection is fine, but chaos won't let me in...it just tries and eventually does nothing, then gives me a crap error msg.

Can someone correct this?

Thanks,

Tidal

We really need is more and equal teams to compete for the champion.

Jjust an idea of a new rule: Allow players only who have played atleast in half of their games in regular season to participate pro playofffs.

#1 main goal of pro league is to create more squads, atleast 16 to revive it totally to this day to make it "the most competitive league of subspace" again as it deservers it, if you look at the past and the history it has.

I even do not see it as hard as it may sound to you, but hell look at the teams at the moment. We would easily have 16 competitive squads and awesome battles every sunday if we make some critical changes to league, the situation requires acion from league operators and from the players to push people out feom their caves and do something new.

Team amount is shrinking to unbearable level to arrange any kind of league soon, might happen next season already. Help me get the league on right track and to follow it in future.

It's important to do ome change now, not tomorrow.

Every single player that play this game wants to win pro title - and by playing it.
If you dont play for you team during the season or spec in playoffs, what do you think you have complished if your team happens to win the title? NOTHING, you havent complished nothing. It would have been same as you wouldn't have logged on to whole game at all.

You need to have the passion, th ourage and the skill to play it and to win it. And you will feel that you deserve it. It fucking gives 100% to this game and for its players and community that YOU show and lead bt your playing how things are getting done.

If you are not getting this, you should quit kid. This is professional league of the subspace. I dont go and watch professional leagues of sports without knowing that god damnit, these players really try and it shows and it's even fun to watch THEM play. Even with good pracs nowadays we would have 100% more players ready to play in spec, because of the quality, the practice and the fun it would give to them.

What you really need is to do is give it all every practice and match.
Might be that your teammates of the pracs or squaddies in games want the title even more and will force you play it even better.

- Finals will be best of 5 (first team to win 3 games)

- 3 players teams
- Pilots may sub between finished games only (this is due the bots, which don't allow subbing in the middle of the game)
- Unlimited lagouts, games do not pause for lag outs, hop back in as fast as you can.
- Each player 'slot' is allowed 10 deaths before that 'slot' is dead.


- There are 3 ways to win a game:

1. Eliminate the other team from the box with simultaneous deaths.
2. Eliminate one opponent by causing 10 deaths. After this the other opponent is eliminated by 1 death.
3. Timer runs out. The team with the fewest deaths wins the game. If both teams have equal number of deaths, a duel will take place between one pilot on each team chosen by the acting captains.
