As a prelude to what I'm about to say, let me first put forward that I like Hallu a Hell of a lot more than I like anyone from Trench Wars. He's been a good and constant friend to our league.
So, that being said, I shall bring forward the inevitable: consolidation. We are dying and stagnant. No one can reasonably deny it.
We are currently a subzone of Chaos. Sadly, Chaos is no more. It is functionally dead, the efforts of Hallu and his staff notwithstanding. So what to do? As they say, "When the Devil drives, needs must."
If it can be arranged, through whatever mean necessary, becoming a subzone of Trench is our best possible chance for survival. We CAN poach their population. It can be done. Hell, Symphony's entire roster is poached from other zones. Clowns, yes, but nothing a baseball bat and some persistence can't fix.
Complications? Tons. We'll probably have to submit to their goddamned res limit, which is really not much of an issue in the era of the resizer, but still. We'll probably surrender some autotonomy. Will you have to tone down your shit talk and racism? Very probably; I expect some of you to be net-banned. Pardon me if I don't weep over that. And lastly, they may see us as a threat, or worse, a non-entity, and not accept us at all. Still, the attempt should, nay, *must* be made.
I'd like to hear Hallu's thoughts on this, as well as his staff. I know full well what I'm asking of you, having run this league myself before.

3pm:
BYE Round - BYE Round
Dropships - Backarrow -- 1293880
The Dark - Sterling -- 1293881
BYE Round - Symphony -- 1293882
4pm:
Assassins - Llamas -- 1293883
Outlaws - Critical Mass -- 1293884
Starfire Elite - Cosmic Rift -- 1293885
Adjusted standings (using play-off tiebreakers and with converted wins, K/D from all the dissolved squads still not in):
1 Assassins 11-1 84 0.465 (def. Outlaws 7-6)
2 OUTLAWS 11-1 90 0.449
^---- BYE into semis ---^
3 sterling 10-2 56 0.455
4 The Dark 9-3 66 0.451 (def. Critical Mass 12-5)
5 Critical Mass 9-3 58 0.469
6 Cosmic Rift 7-5 18 0.503 ( def. Backarrow 7-6, def. Llamas 6-5: Total 2/0 +2)
^---- PRO ----^
7 Backarrow 7-5 53 0.506 (12-0 over WTF?, def. Llamas 12-6, lost vs. CRift 7-6: Total 1/1+5)
8 Llamas 7-5 45 0.44 (lost vs. Backarrow 12-6, lost vs. CRift 6-5: Total 0/2 -7)
9 Symphony 4-8 -31 0.477 (def. SFE 12-6)
10 StarFire Elite 4-8 -32 0.457
11 Dropships 3-9 -48 0.491
^---- AML ----^
12 WTF? 1-6 -51 0.581
13 Slopships 1-7 -67 0.443
14 BYE Round 0-19 -228 0.537
So the top 2 squads will be Assassins and Outlaws. Outlaws can only finish #1 if they win while Assassins lose.
The next 4 squads will be Sterling, The Dark, Critical Mass and one of the 7-5 squads. Llamas can still make PRO if both Backarrow and Cosmic Rift lose.
The squads in the 3-6 range are playing for seedings into quarters:
"Playoff games are best of 1, up to semi-"finals". With 6 squads, the top two teams get a BYE in Pro while #3 plays #6 and #4 plays #5. #1 seed gets to choose which match-up they want their opponents from. Same goes for AML, varied to match in numbers."
EDIT NOTE: That best of 1 quarter-final round will be replaced by GAME 1 of a best-of-3 Quarter-Finals series on the 4th of January.
..hmm.. Also if those games were all played at 3pm we could play the first games of semis at 4. Which means we'd be finished the weekend before superbowl. Not the superbowl weekend or the week after. But that would be rather silly.

On behalf of Sterling i would like to apologize to the staff, community and Mindriot. We believe that the actions taken by the council are far too lenient. Sterling will now be using a 3 pronged punishment to further implement what i believe are the rightful punishments.
1. Sterling will now place a 1 month ban on Rage. He will not be allowed to participate in any league functions.
2. 9-Volt will be stepping down from his mod position. I believe this to be sufficient due to him doing nothing about the alleged cheating.
3. Plareplane will be restricted to only using the forums for political debates. He will no longer be allowed to post in the league forum. This will suffice. Clearly Plareplane was being biased and contributed nothing to the previous discussion.
I hope this will suffice and that the everyone understands Sterling does not take these actions lightly. I want to thank the council for their time and quick judgement.

I was playing well last night and thoroughly enjoying myself.
Rage decided to play the final Practice Match of the night. My team was tired and slowly began to die, Rage traded kills with my team mate and they both died out leaving me in a precarious 3 on 1 situation.
I fought hard and began to chip away at the enemy team's lead by getting kills. Odin was reduced to a whining baby because he couldn't handle the pressure. If you're playing league and cannot win a 3 on 1 when the lone pilot is actively attacking you, you don't belong in pro and should remain in spec.
Upon seeing my potential win, Rage had the captain of his team kick a player and subbed in as Jake to hold me off.
I would like to know if this is legal. To add insult to injury, 9-Volt+ was watching the abuse unfold and did absolutely nothing to stop it, you can check the log to see that he was present and watching. Is it because he plays on Sterling?
The match ended with Jake and his team mate refusing to attack me. He had 4 lives and could not kill me. What a pitiful way to represent all that bravado Rage. You acted like a coward and I lost all respect for you.
The Practice Match in question is here:
http://svssubspace.com/?page=Game&id=1293404&season=0
You can clearly see that Jake subbed in after Rage was sent to spec. You can also read the spec log to verify.
Where is the honor? Where is the valor? This game has been reduced to nonsense such as outlined above, and to top it all off, a moderator did nothing to stop it because he is on the same team as the abuser.
Everyone complains about this game dying and it is clear why.

| are people happy with how .fullsub works? |

So I've only been back for a couple months now and I have some observations.
First and most important. I got put into a match and since I didn't know how fullsub works I ended up screwing up while subbing out. Are people happy about this? From what I understand fullsub has been an issue during multiple matches throughout the last few seasons and essentially people messing up. The standard response is "you should know better" and I agree, but should it really be so complex?
Death subs should be fullsubs. If a person subs out within 5 seconds of dying it should be treated as a deathsub and the incoming player gets full toys. Deathsubs should be possible in OT with full toys, I'm not sure how the current rules treat them as subbing in OT is extremely rare.
A fullsub should be the first non-deathsub.
I know years go I argued that there should not be limits on when a fullsub can take place. I think the allowed 30 minutes are stupid and also add complexity while taking away an element where a team could potentially use a fullsub in overtime. I'm not sure why there was a limit put on when you can fullsub and again adds another complication to the game and being able to properly utilize the fullsub option.
Finally I have an additional comment regarding bot commands. While it may seem like adding the feature to treat text like "rdy" and "ready" as commands without any pre-qualifiers as cool, it really isn't all that great. It leads to statements like "pracstats are broken so don't use it" to register as a command to request pracstats. All commands should be prefaced with either a "!" or a "."
