I've checked the local Want Ads, but no luck.

Again, it's the whole scheduling thing I hate. My match against Gizmet. Was all set for 7/1 at 0600. I layed down for a power nap at 0000 and got up at 0500 ready to go. Gizmet had changed the time to 3 hours earlier and I had no idea. Not quite the way I pictured earning my points.

Other than the scheduling, it's been great. Guys have returned my cars, have worked with me on scheduling, and haven't redded any of my gangers, so it's been all good there.

Thanks.


Yeah, that was my bad...:) I meant to message you, got caught up in a few scouts and next thing you know I totally forgot...:)  My bad.

But Yeah, the scheduling thing is a pain, I accepted they change originally and was like no problem, but then I realized it was for 0100 my time, and I am in the US Army and 0500 comes EARLY...:)

The way I see it, there is always going to be scheduling conflicts with global player base. So if there is always going to be disagreements on time, which there will be, I suggest this change.

The SCL has a Home and Away team on the schedule. Why not elimate the time preference averages that are used to determine the best time, because it doesn't always work. Allow the "Home" team to set the time of the event. The Home team can still be sportsmanlike and ask the Away team to agree upon a date and time like we do now, but the Home team will have the final say as to when the event will be scheduled.

Due to there being only 9 events, half the teams will get an extra "Home" team time set, but that shouldn't really make too many players throw a fit, or will it?!? (Maybe add one NPC team into the mix so there will be 5 home and away events).

One other option to help insure that a time and date are agreed upon is the team that wins a SCL because the other team couldn't make the time slot only gets 2 points for an uncontested victory. Those missing single points will make it very difficult to win the league, so there will be a sense of urgency for the teams doing well to actually make sure they work out a time/date that gets agreed upon.

These are just a couple suggestions to see if there is a new system that will work better than the current one in place. The current system we have now isn't really broken, it just needs players to bend it together in the right direction to make it work.

I will be back next season, weather it be SCL 4, 5 or both, I will continue to make sure all the matches my team has scheduled will work for both sides because I plan on battling it out each week, not sitting around for a forfeit.

Ok.

Had enough. No negotiating time with me - for anyone, you can thank this forum post from big spenner.

Show up when the server schedules it, or default I don't give a #### any more. Don't waste my time PMing me.

This was the longest time negotiation I've ever had, I honestly felt bad I missed agreeing ( by like two fkin hours after just reading his last message).

No more mr nice guy (in anything) die in a fire.

That is all.

I don't like to reveal a lot about my "real life"...you'll never see me post in that thread telling all about my life. Some of you do that's great....That said:

First I don't owe any of you nerds any explanation, I do this for my own sheer pleasure.

The truth is yes I did shaft bigspenner and co, and I did feel bad about it. It wasn't some alley conspiracy, I don't give a crap about any prod bonuses any more(certainly not div5), I've got all the toys and am having problems handing them out for free. I did feel very bad if this caused his team to not qual for Div 4 next season(that's all that matters in div 5).

I don't feel bad any more. Thank you.

So That whole week I was in quebec starting the 21s when he first messaged me - yes flying and driving in La Belle Provence on a FKING Sunday for work. It's a fking ordeal to travel across Canada on a fking sunday because we yes, have truly become america's hat...regaining tangent...

I'm in training in head office all week on #### I barely know (but should know) so I am not checking personal emails there, and since my french is ####, convincing the front desk to stop fking me with ####ty wireless in my room that my company paid 10 extra canadian dollhairs a night for. I get on, try to get a league combat each night, while writing my new pen pal bigspenner the absolutely smallest messages my drained brain can provide.

Somewhere in the week we started to narrow down the 55 possible mins of the day we could possibly meet for this match(which I am notorious for missing or fking up forgetting my car or gangers - ask my teammates).

A couple nights I was playing translator for two married guys on the course, to illiterate strippers that spoke less English than I knew French. Two of them shared a tattoo that read "That which does not kill you makes you stronger". Neither could source the fking quote THEY PERMANENTLY TATTOOED ON THEIR BODIES. They also didn't know who the #### Nietzsche was.

So I managed to buddy up with a couple contacts in my company and not feel TOOO guilty for being chauffeur and translator for their deprivations, while their fking wives are calling us in between dens of stinking villainy. There is nothing worse than married guys on "business" trips.

Friday at lunch, the most amazingly GORGEOUS waitress actually hits on ME and I tell these two to catch a goddam cab to the airport, because my flight just got delayed by ohhh umm AS LONG AS IT TAKES.

I can tell you while Canadian east\west relations were going on, the last thing I am thinking is, holy PHUCK bigspenner might have suggested a time for DIV 5 - I better get off this broad and check my darkwind game for PMs!

Definitely I am done with the "talking" part of this game. I am going to get far more acquainted with the shooting part now.

I like Juris's idea. Heck, you could just make it so the event can't happen until a time is agreed upon?


I don 't think any change would improve the situation. Any one of the above ideas (X states another interesting idea with less points) can be used or can be perceived to be being used in some way to gain an advantage or exploit. ATM we select our best times and the schedule is organised between them. We can then change if a time can be agreed upon. If not agreeable we need to take the original time. Its the fairest way.

A system that auto accepts a change within a time could not work; what if you don't log in for 6 days but the time was perfectly suitable for you.

Joel – I don’t know how you manage it but half of DW loves you and half hates you :p

That does sound like a week from hell, though ending on a high note there………… ;)

I wish we had chance to carry out a conversation on the battlefield but through your actions or lack of them you didn’t give us that chance.

I’m not sure what the correct answer here is to encourage people to reach agreements on time/dates for the combats – the more disputes like this we have, the more the already small player base is going to get marginalized, which isn’t a good thing.

this whole thread is massively out of line imo. i have had this happen to me repeatedly, sometimes due to my own stupidity and sometimes because people are just difficult, and have always been told to just suck it up, which i do, including my recent inability to reschedule a match because the team owner quit the game and i was on a flight over an ocean at the time and just plain could not show. and yes, sometimes it is me that's difficult, because i have a life, like almost all of you. the scheduling is a pita, no question, but trust me joel would *much* rather show up and shoot the crap out of you than get a victory by default, especially in V. not even close. for those of you that are new to scl this is just how it goes, and over time you'll be the beneficiary as much as you get screwed, because, guess what, that part is not a conspiracy. really.

Well I guess we're usually lucky you don't share your life with us, Joel.

Seriously? The "excuse" you didn't want to deliver, but couldn't help doing was: I was getting laid.

Nice. I guess your first time must be important enough to share with your imaginary carebear friends.

That is one nasty four year old lol

I type on here conversationally(sometimes on these tiny phone touch screens)...sans edits... I really doubt anyone missed my point cause I skipped some commas or even some grammer.  Your constant critique of video game forum posts has gotten stale...don't you ever get tired of it?

Joel, I am afraid that just sounds like a normal week at work to me. please stop moaning and please stop messing people around. If in fact you were just messing people around as you claim you were doing. In reality, your form points to just another exploit from what I can see and your big "aren't I important everyone else can wait for me or get lost" speech is cripplingly onanistic.

Either play nicely or don't play. You are from what I have seen a good player, you don't need to cheat and exploit the game, you don't need to treat everyone else like they are here for your convenience and you certainly don't need to enter leagues you "don’t care about", ruining them for those of us that pay to play a game we can enjoy. A game we play in an environment of mutual respect and competition. So please Joel, save your self-indulgent drivel for those that give a monkeys scrotum about it, and in future just don't ruin it for the others

Also I have to say I believe comments like “First I don't owe any of you nerds any explanation” are not nice or necessary. Please have respect for the other players, most are fine people so I have no idea why “my own sheer pleasure” as you put it, is derived from abusing people online. This is a sad way to use your online time and you should have more respect.

In point of fact this long negotiation you mentioned involved you returning 5 of my 11 messages in 8 days and not changing a clock. Tough job I know and I can see the stress must be killing you. I can see now how doing that for a fellow competitor would be too much trouble for any mere mortal man. If fact, Super Joel, thank you, for letting me exist in your world. I feel truly honoured, as should all of you out there. As Joel says he doesn’t owe any of you nerds anything, he will probably be president one day lol.

I am not going to play he said...he said .. bar none it was the toughest longest time negotiation I've ever had and yes during a not normal week (for me).

I admit I screwed up I should have been able to accept the new time you suggested. But I didn't. I said I was sorry. But you attack me on the forum I am no longer sorry. I will not be bothering to negotiate times anymore with anyone...what a debaucle.

Never mind that all of this could've been avoided simply by setting a squad, it must be another of Joel's 'conspiracies'

Does your mom know you use her computer while she's at work, Joel? Jesus, your "I don't give a ####" attitude has become a droll affectation. If this game gives you no joy, why do you even bother playing?

Be a good person, for #$%& sake. This Lone Wolf persona is getting trite and annoying.
