The event this thread is for is being held on the 21st of Feb and not on the 12th of Feb because of schedule conflicts.

[Lost_in_space]

Someone please move it on the calendar, thanks.

[Ogu]

Will do.

...

So... Ah. Just for giggles, does this mean that Zoners win? Since we were the only ones who showed? xD

[IllogicalLemon]

Not that I get any say in the matter, but... I vote yes.

These events are becoming a joke. What really bugs me is that there are people who think that their time is better spent doing random shit in some remote system rather than participating in a mass pvp event. When 1.3 gets out majority of them will probably switch to single player because they cannot comprehend that little thing called "player interaction".

CM Battle: Liberty Attacks Ames

*facepalm*

[Anathosion]

Why are you upset Leon you were not there we were and we weit 5 hours affter the first time whic was at 22:00 until 4 am and mybe we didn t have the event but we sure have  mass pvp.
Nomads players drop bay and they don t know the 10 minutes rule so we fight like 2 hours streight. And it was awsome tsunami was on rampage and we all get our share of scalps.
And we all have a greet time (well nomads mybe not) but you don t see us complying.
But for next time please post 1 hour not like 3 diffrent hours it is confusing.

Have fun all and remember it is just a game

The way I see it is that we have two problems...

• Changing an events time creates confusion and this results in people missing events.
• Walkovers; these are a problem because people start to view CM battles as a pointless farce. We need to bear in mind that the people who turn up to these events do so not simply to win. They come for a good battle, some get up early and others go to bed late, they will not continue to do this if all they get is a walkover.

I would suggest that we consider some ways to prevent this in future.

• When people reschedule events they should forfeit the original event fee in its entirety thus encouraging them to get it right the first time.
• If no enemy turns up I strongly suggest trying to organise an OOC defence yourself.
• I would also suggest that for the attackers to win an event they should have to bring at least one wing to the fight; faction members or not.

This isn't a dig at you specifically Carnifex (I know you enjoy a battle and would have been disapointed yourself) but rather something that needs nipping in the bud quickly because if we don't get a grip of ourselves people are simply not going to turn up anymore.

Edit: I would also suggest that the date and time of the event be included in the topics title and that it also forms part of the title in the calender. This would ensure more people turn up at the correct time, thus reducing confusion and disappointment.

I completely agree with you there Corpse. I'd be foolish not to admit that my changing of event times has contributed to the walkovers and overall confusion more then anything else.

[rant] It would have been nice if people would pay attention to the CM battle forum though. Ramirez didn't organise the event, I did. Which means that if a time is not feasable for Liberty, the attackers, then I'll change it. With stuff like Ramirez going away unexpectedly people need to pay more attention to the forums. [rant]

@Carnifex

I can't stress enough the advantages of putting the date and time in the threads title though; its the one thing that catches peoples eye.

Edit: it doesn't help having two threads on these subjects either; one in the event forum and another in the conquest forum. IMO they need consolidating.

Corpse

[Carnifex]

I second the consolidated thread idea whole heartedly. It really is too bad that we don't get a second chance at all this though:
Re: [L] - Liberty

Since no defenders ever showed up on the 22nd (not untill time of this post) I say that Kusari has lost it's base but that's just my opinion as a now neutral bystander.

[Ogu]

Why don't you all reschedule this, I'll remove the threads and kill this event, then you make another? It's kind of silly saying 'we won and they lost' when one side never showed up due to confusion with dates and times.

And yes, thread consolidation is in order. Bit late for that now. What you should do next time is PM one (or more) of the admins/SP (I'm always around if Ram isn't, so is Rubber Ducky) and we'll make sure that the threads get titled properly and the proper dates are set in the calendar.

[F,Mike]

what the.. when was the event. was it the 21st or 22nd.

im in the middle of moving & we must be moved out before the 24th. we just were told that. in less corpse thinks im just making this up & using it as a excuse not to show. as iv been told that.

i was on at 3:30pm "my time" 21:30 GmT & there was no tagg players on. this was today. when i had thought the event was.

lets redo the event some other time. if anyone has a issue with that. than thats your problem.

far as i know & can see. the event never took place. as the times were messed up & because of that. no one knew when the event was to even show.

i agree with ogu.

[rant] but than again you all will do what you think is good for you & your faction. as where i dont do that. outcast dont care who the run over for there faction to work & grow. that is to me a faction killing. that is not something i support nor want.[/rant]
