Soso, that is unfortunate. I might be able to play a game later tonight, but I see it as incredibly unlikely that we could gather the rest of the players. I am @work, but try to get ahold of the other players through cbox etc and we might be able to play
Fetta_ook, known as the superior scandinavian orc and also junkerzams arch enemy.
Sweden.
Btw, i think tleilaxu should have to justify his participation by at least 300 words and a pre qualifier Vs a computer(medium) for the qualification round.
I notice that most of this discussion is about the length of the games, on which I will just give my short point of view, and then focus on what I find most important: the player pool.
However, I totally agree with Eshan. At the end of the day, we are all FFA players and this is the kind of game we want to play. Adding a timelimit only to appeal more to the observers? Lets face it, we are playing w3, the potential audience is very limited so there is no need to chase some extra viewers. And regarding Red's comment: why would we try to modify the game and make them shorter only because circumstances are changing in our lives? You cant just modify the game incrementally depending on changing factors in the players' personal lives, that would be just as stupid as allowing the ball to bounce twice in our tennis matches only because we are older...
This brings me to the concern regarding the player pool. Since I am a rookie in this community, ofc I don't like the idea of making the next season exclusive to "older /well known players". Honestly, that would be like a "Tomb of Relics". Many of the older players are more busy nowadays I guess, since they are never playing except for the 5-6 FML-games they play per year, which means that their skills are probably more likely to decay than to enhance. I travel quite much in my work, but when I don't, I play inhouse FFAs every day with players like Maga, zTsoso, Alien, Letshave, Valefort etc, and I feel that no matter our initial skill level, all of us are improving a lot (except for Maga who hit triple-10 ages ago). Some of the newer players, not me though, have leapfrogged the older/well known players which is why I think a competitive moment is necessary to decide which players should be qualified for the next season. Also, this is a moment for the older players to prove me wrong and show that they are not just old relics.
