Saturday and Sunday October 21 and 22, Team Play Games!!

8 PM GMT / 4 PM Eastern / 1 PM Pacific on both days

Team Play games will consist of games with 3 players versus 3 players, or 2 versus 2 versus 2.

It will go on for about 3 hours, so it's OK to show up somewhat late to this event and still join in. You don't have to be on a team already to play. Just show up and you'll get put on a team if needed.

Scoring will be figured out on the weekend...

is it team league or region teams or survivor team????

So, is this going to be like luxtoberfest last year where you play with a partner or trio, or are you suggesting that it will somhow mirror the existing team structures?

If the former I'm sure my good lady and I can find time to put up a challenge in the 2v2v2 format.

Whatever the setup, I'm tied up Saturday but will try to put in an appearance Sunday.

The pretty, pretty flower will be unable to attend, as I have an exorcism scheduled on both nights. Kurtz will be unable to make it as well. Same reason, different purpose.

It will look a little something like this. Kurtz is the one on the right as you look at the monitor:

We had a great batch of team games today. I've updated the Team Rankings page so for now it's just showing games played during the Luxtoberfest Team Event:
http://sillysoft.net/lux/rankings/team/

The Raw Whores were dominating early on.
Seduction heated up later on and grabbed the lead.
My Finger Slipped had a good turn-out and slipped their way into some wins.
10 Monkeys maintained a good average in the games that they played.

Notice: I have merged the old MFA team into A New Day. Hopefully we'll get some players from AND and LCS showing up tomorrow.

PS: A bunch of new players were put onto teams today. If you want to check out the Team world, just show up tomorrow and I'll put you onto a team (you must have played 100 games to get put onto a team).

Good job merging the teams, dustin. I think that AND sort of lost its...unity....or team spirit or something. We had a hard time getting members to play.

I might even join :O

You have done a marvellous job in running all the luxtoberfest nights, sadly due to the timing of many of these, I have been unable to play. I was a little disappointed to find that the team night was not along the same format as 2006, with new duo's and trios being set up for the night.

Especially as none of the original LCS line up are involved anymore. I won't be able to make it tonight but wish everyone all the best, especially if any LCS players make it along.

KingPatrick · Posted: Sun Oct 22, 2006 2:09 pm Post subject:

The two merged teams for reference:

Team : A New Day
Grozoth
Loki
Elisaelli
Golgi
Alexander_The_Great
documan
KingPatrick
Vidar
Eowyn
The South African

Team :The Men From Aunty
Naps
Laney6969
Iggy
Markymark
Gabo
Noah
France
BlackPanther?

Not sure what the new team is called (one or the other?) or where we can administer team settings, descriptions, etc. Is there a team captain??? I woud still elect Grozoth who was the leader of AND, but whatever... I would also be happy to serve.

How about "The Men From A New Day" ?

that sounds queer.

They clearly submitted to us so we'd still be a new day.

I don't want to sound a bad whiner or anything (despite the fact that I Komplain a lot!) but I think that LCS is facing a great injustice:

Most of RW wins are on a 3v3 games (against same team!!) where you can win more points.
So Average total should take THAT into consideration cause LCS won 9 out of 15 while RW won 16 out of 30 so the average of winning is clearly to the advantage of LCS while points made the difference.

Can it be calculated differently?

if not gg and congrat to winners!

Congrats to the Raw Whores, Sorry I only made two games. My connection was horribly funky last night and dropping out of team gmes is not an easy thing to contend with.

it was fun and congrats to all who took part, especially the hosts as with 20 players or so in the room it is highly stressful trying to organise and appease everybody...

... big thumbs up to Dustin, Glow and Documan for hosting!!

do you now give out those medals I sent you and which have been gathering dust dustin?

Raw Whores Unite

I will add I think General K takes grace to a whole different level soooo it should be calculated so you win!! WOW!

I don't believe K was trying to weasel a win, I think he was very gracious in defeat but was simply stating the obvious. The kind of obvious comment I had to contend with every single day that I hosted team games. I won't for one second complain about the set up, It will always favour 3v3 games and the simple truth was LCS couldnt pull enough players in that format. Had I been around we'd surely have managed more games and possibly managed a few more wins. That said, I think K makes a valid point about the allocations and it is worthy of consideration if the team format is ever going to get beyond its infancy.

I say again, well done to The Raw Whores and well done to General K for making a reasonable point fairly.

Did I say you were trying to weasel a win, or did I say it looks like it when you don't bring up something you see as a terrible injustice until after it affects you? And then you complain when people notice that? And then you call it a personal attack when people call you on it?

We had the rules laid out beforehand. That's the time to talk about it. A qualified congrats isn't a congrats, it's bs and everyone knows it.

hoodie is done with this.

I said you were not graceful and in the history of these forums... your posts included .... I do not consider it personal or attacking ....... actually

"graceful"

in the beginning i thought i should gather the different quotes together to underline what i think about the discussion more precisely, but in the end i think it wont do much difference so i just want to say this:

although i feel that K is likely to overreact to "injustice" he thinks hes a victim of, i have to say that he brought forward his opinion in a very sportsmanlike and justified manner. i think his argument has a point, and i think he is right in feeling that his questions havent been answered in a way they - imho - deserve...

especially - but not exclusively - for someone being a moderator i think it is necessary to take care that statements being made are based on correct information as much as to adopt a moderate attitude rather than an irate one.
