Well, looks like this isn't going to work... Match making is fun enough for the time being, I'll just join a team once I get good enough :P

The only reason I don't see this as very plausible is that alot of you just need to get better before we can last in a competitive game. I'd be willing to try, however, as would Weasel, so you can throw us up there too.

Did you remember to feed your gigapet as well? Pokemon...seriously? I'm not that old but... get off my lawn

I completely agree, but we're not gonna get better if no one ever wants to play competitively... It seems like Beeji was the only one really interested in figuring out good comp team makups and strategies and stuff... Mag wanted to organize things but at least I never saw anything come of it... I've been working on learning more support heroes so that I can play that role better, I read a ton every day and it's all I play in matchmaking... That's what I like about matchmaking mode, it's all I do when I'm not playing with you guys... People generally take matchmaking more seriously and it's insanely fun because of it...

If we at least get a team together with basic roles figured out then we can start working from there, probably not even doing major scrims for a while... If we just work on playing no AB games with good names, like "1500+" in it instead of "CUM FAST", increasing the number as our PSR's grow, eventually we'll be ready to start doing serious scrims with other teams.... We're never, ever, at any point, going to get there if we just play casually all the time. Casual play has it's merits, it's fun and lulzy, but in this game I really enjoy the more serious high stakes games more, where you really have to be paying attention and working as a team... The really serious games we've played have absolutely been the funnest, at least for me...

Admittedly, slow bugs is probably one the best things in the game though.

tl;dr: If we don't practice as a comp team we'll never be good, and if we're never good then we'll never be able to play against other comp teams... And slow bugs is awesome.

Hasn't this thread been done like 3 times already?

We need to set up times for practice so we know when people are ready to put their serious faces on.  If we don't it's just gonna be the usual shits and giggles game.

For the record here I tried to set us up for some scrims. All I found was what looked to be a dead IRC channel and some incredibly high stakes tournaments that were way out of our league.

I found some extremely active IRC channels (couple hundred people) and yeah, most of the leagues are way above us... But scrimming seems very possible.

Available times please?

Mag, you in? Roles?

You know what forget it I am not playing competitive, not that you care. HON is feeling lackluster lately,  and I am tired of playing. I have not played an fun game in a while I would rather just focus on work and other stuff. I guess I am feeling that the game is getting meticulous, I am just doing the same thing over and over. I also do not want to be a burden on you guys like I am normally, so consider this a sort of formal letter of resignation from competitive and the clan for a bit until regents and finals are over. I will be back by the 22nd probably though not competitive Hon as I would just dragged the team down. Err this post is depressing let me end it on a good note... MUGAH FUGAH!

Can the 7 people who signed up get on later tonight or tomorrow night so we can talk about what our strategies and roles will be? I'd love to get a basic team makeup going and then play some no AB games to start to figure out how to play together...

For those of you who regular the forums, tell the people who signed up who don't regular the forums to post if they can be around either tonight or tomorrow... Imma be on the forums most of the day, but not on vent, and I'll probably make plans for tonight if people can't do tonight...
