[sDOM.I] Announcement

[Hallu]

[Junkyardboy]

I also was not a fan of the 3 week season, but I understand 3 weeks was done to make sure by end of playoffs, there would be no matches stretching out through the holidays.

I nice # would have been 4 weeks with 1 week double header with two matches(making total 5 reg matches)

I'm all up for sdom, but to be fair to other mods, I believe sniper/tdm/lms are all due for another run/first run.

I really would be interested in a multictf league. 12 man servers, 4 flags...the shoutcasting would be epic, the plays would be great!

LMS was still the best tournament in years and it hasn't had a second chance. Sad.

Not exactly crazy active like you make it seem DS. I like sDOM but with it comes less activity overall.

Halloween day and a Friday and there were 14 iCTF pugs. And you thnik 5.5 sdom pugs a day is a lot? Come on now.

[Darkside]

that was the friday before the iCTF draft... The point is that before 12/4 sdom pugs were basically non-existent. The last 8 days 6 sdom pugs a day with sdom season approaching. I didn't say anything about this last week being the most active period in pugging history.

This is an announcement thread, not a bitch about sDOM thread keep it clean.

[miracle]

my favorite part about this thread, is i stayed up from 1 hour after sauron posted his post, till 5 am playing sdom pugs. People are so blind at times, and that pug that was 20 hrs ago on that timer, there was 7 pugs that day before that one to add onto this stat. lol. But this is an announcement thread so ill stop the troll. YAY FOR SDOM

GO FOR SDOM

[Hermione]

i like sdom as well as ictf but i have to admit ictf is more fun

[cyraX]

i liked sdom the 1 season i played it but there is has always been less signups and less activity during that time.. i don't think you can really argue that ds. bread and butter has always been ictf for activity, casts, excitement. just less interest around sdom unfortunately.

sucks that there's such gaps between certain seasons and events like LMS. i actually laughed out loud multiple times during the lms event

[HULKSMASH]

You can't do 4x an iCTF season a year. You would go crazy.

Not sure why some of you are being such negative nancies and sourpusses. iCTF will come back. saCTF will also make a comeback at some point. In the mean time? Give sDOM a try.

If you guys actually want to try other things - basically anything other than iCTF, then stop throwing wobblers every time we do.

Peace.

[Morpheus]

can't really blame people for wanting the only real active mode in this game lol why should people have to play a mode they dont want to? lol bad concept and vision to begin with. personally i like sdom but i'd never want a sdom cup over a ictf if it came down to it

i don't understand why there can't be tournament overlays too...in CB i used to participate in 3 or 4 tournaments in a row. I'm sure something could be worked out around sundays

saCTF and sDOM both without dev matches

BOOOM saCTF 2:00-3:30 PM matches, sDOM 4:00 - 5:30 PM matches for example (rotate weekely if needed)

Saturdays are an option too. There is a large FA pool if you can't play i'm sure someone will. And when i played regularly on ipug, saturdays were always a busy night. Might not be the better option though...

[Darkside]

if we were to have 2 leagues overlapping, I think it'd be best if all the devs were played on one day (ie: saturday) and all the reg matches on another (ie: sunday). I think that keeping dev matches in the seasons are integral to expanding the player base, highlighting growing players/ones previously gone unnoticed, and giving completely new players a chance to participate.
This way there's more availability options for the team. Matches could possibly be rotated, but this might cause conflicts to people that can only play one day on the weekends.

I think that overall the only way iCTF will regain freshness and possible popularity is adding trans/piston.
Tempus today mentioned playing shock ctf - which i've never heard mentioned before. maybe add trans/piston and it might be the best compromise available to get CTF rolling again for weapons players and ig players looking for something new but familiar.

[Darkside]

FUCK shock would just boost flag carrier across mid. still down for modified telegib tho.

[rev]

Been saying it for a while as well as many others including phr and IR. The answer is sniper, not sure with tele/piston or not and pups. Would almost instantly fix the meta. It's fairly obvious.
