15 teams?

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

If stupidity drives Stichio away, he would have left long ago and never returned.

I am curious what he is talking about though.

I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

I think its because he randomed into my fam and then the galaxy was reset shortly afterwards... I really am that great

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

Lol. Well fams weren't going to change since it was stay in fam, but since those links were lost we adjusted the galaxy settings to make it more competitive.

hes talking about a great lineup of active players we had last round on our way to 1st, our chat always had half of our team in there.

then we lose out on that with the missing links, he randoms into family with Myself, smiley, pickle, and has it happen again.


i know for a FACT!!! we can all be placed into our original teams, i have seen this before as it was done about 4 or 5 rounds back.

now the galaxy has 15 teams, surly with only 70 people playing last round this has to be a mistake!!!

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

Yeh i must agree with Devilz,

They did the stay in fam option manually a few rounds again, cant see why this cant be done again...

Sol get your spare time and do some manual work please!

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

Because last time we sit it, it was minimal participation, lot of work, and a huge mess. Everybody whined about it. It sucks, but until the link mechanism is fixed there won't be a stay in fam round.

QFT

It's not so much that I was robbed with playing two great families twice, though it does suck that I couldn't play with 6900 again, great group of guys and we already started planning this round out, but it's that you increased the amount of families to 15.

Last round we had half the families with 4 players so what makes you think we will be able to fill up the families better this round? The fact is that there will always be two or three families who are able to get their 7-8 players but now the remaining active players who join pw will be spread out among more families so they will have even less players. Making more families will not make it more competitive, it will do the opposite.

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

lol I smell some chaos tongue  what about using Render's player pool?? (its the 4th round I insist)

Stichio is right, the last round where players were put 'manually' in their old fam was 4 rounds ago, but it did not work really ok, because it was not anounced in good timing. 
Now lets realise mods havent found out the right button for 4 rounds, so "stay in fam" option is clearly disabled, why even anounce it?  it just creates controversy!

I set myself volunteer to organize a player pool (tho I'm not playing) but never had the "OK do it" by the modteam.
A pity!

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

It wasnt disabled or you wont get the option I think?

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

It wasn't broke last time it was used. That's why we started using it again. It must be a conflict with new security, and the links are still temporary and aren't saved.

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

Tbh, I don't know why PW isn't shuffled every round anyway?  Why even have Stay in Fam in pw?

I thought you guys 'liked' the fact that you're playing with different people all the time?

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

Is the round really starting so soon

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

Torqez it is indeed nice to play with different people, but also nice that if people joined midway through a round that you wanted to play with (or you just had a awful start etc) you do get another chance at it. It does mean there are 'super' fams a lot of the time nowadays, but back when we had a lot more players it was nice to build friendships over the period of two consecutive rounds.

True, I feel that I just barely discovered the human being that is Flashy and definitely needed another round tongue


Also, when there is a reshuffle every round there is no motive to slowly build a strong family as it will be reshuffled the next round anyways. Lets say someone only joins 3 weeks into PW and ends up in a low ranked family, knowing that there is a shuffle the next round, he will be more likely to delete and try and get in a top fam to play out the last three weeks as opposed to sticking it out with the current fam and slowly gaining and teaching players so that they may be better next round.


Even with reshuffles every round there will always be the super fams, look at my fam 6900 last round in PW, the amount of active players we had compared to other fams was insane and it was not uncommon for me to go to chat and see 6 people there discussing the fams strat. This happened out of pure luck with a reshuffle and will happen again this round to one or two families who are lucky enough to get better players.

Lastly, because the fam sizes are now bigger, what's going to happen is that as the round progresses and fams start to repeater in terms of strength, new people will join and be more likely to stay in the stronger fams, so what will happen is that the top few fams will fill up their 12- 15 players and then the other ones will be playing with 6-8 and some with 3-4. We only had 70 players last round in PW and I don't see any reason why we would expect more this round.

Re: ~~Pinwheel 75 PvC!~~

you can expect some more because of the fact VIPs can go in both, but that being said, last round had people in both anyways.

Ya, i wasn't around as much as i'd have liked and we still had a kick ass round big_smile i'll be randoming around looking for a new home tongue

agree with the rest you put, basically a more long winded post of mine
