Topic: Merging familys

its only been one day but its quite obvious that there is no way we are filling 40+ familys with 9 players in each. I believe that the mods over estimated the number of familys to have in capricorn.

I hope the mods consider condensing these familys into other familys before the round begins. Yes...i know its only been a day, however,  I dont see it changing drasticly by Monday.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!!

Re: Merging familys

How about instead mods take randoms from fams that are full/near full and put them in the lower fams

Give it some time AA. PW is full i think so people will have to come to capri. Typically rounds take a day or two to reset so some people probably haven't even checked yet

Re: Merging familys

The biggest issue is when people random in, see there arent many people in their fam, and delete. hmm

Re: Merging familys

i hope this is taken seriously. i see lots of little tiny familys and almost a dozen nearly full ones. i think the random joining needs to be looked at. familys should be filled evenly as they sign up.

Like i said earlier....lets see what the familys look like come Sunday/Monday. I have a good feeling it wont look much different than it does now. The majority of decent, active players have already been drafted or joined already.

Re: Merging familys

AA your families should be filled evenly as they sign up is silly.

Its random the fact that families fill unever proves its random.

Actually mods were right on with the number of fams based on participation from last round.

Mods could send e-mail out to all players merge closer to sor is fine. I believe mods can't close fams they can just move em. so new randoms could end up in these just merged fams. That may have changed.

Re: Merging familys

I did say 'lets see what happens come monday'.....didnt i? If the familys are looking similar to what they are now, all im asking is for the mods to CONSIDER merging smaller familys together.

Im not asking for blood. Im not angry or upset. Im just tryin to improve game play. Larger familys are discriminating against some of the smaller familys when considering them for an ally. We have tris back. Tris with an added rule of no switching allys after 2 weeks. That makes alliances even more critical.

So lets look at 2 different scenarios........

Scenario 1: We dont merge the smaller familys together. The 2-3 tri-alliances that are already full will basicly win. The other alliances with small familys will get destroyed. They couldnt get in a good alliance cuz of their small size and they sure as hell cant compete against 27 potentially active players.

Scenario 2: We merge some of the smaller familys together and delay the start by a day or so. This will give them a chance to make a decent tri-alliance and work out a starting strategy with their new family members. The galaxy will be more competitve. In theory of course tongue

I am for the capricorn set up. I still think this can work and it can be alot of fun. Im looking forward to seeing how it plays out. But i would like to see it play out the way it was intended to. This set up has the potential to be very fun and competitive. It also has the potential to be a disaster if this issue isnt addressed.

Re: Merging familys

they could close bottom 5 fams in advance. but indeed maybe its best to wait it out a bit more.

Re: Merging familys

2 fams still got 1 member, 3 fams got 2 members!

So please don't merge at last minute and then delay Capri!

Re: Merging familys

Yeh 405 was the spots this round. I think it should be more like 340, with about 310 actually playing and 30 spots open for PW players quitting or old players coming back!
