why would you do that if it was fine for so long Cause i gathered from peoples post that 30 min matches is an issue. I think this is why the match length issue was brought up in teh first place. but i rather like the suggestiong that you let the players decide what number they want, its the most fa...

30 min is a magical number (the league started with that and always had that), people played 30 min for years now. and this means it can't be changed? every one thinks its to long and we have to use only 15 or 20min I thought that is the reason for a different match length, 30 min seemed to long fo...

if you want to do ONE matchtime, than take 30min. But in my eyes, letting the players decide (between 15 and 30 or 20 and 30 or 15,20 and 30) is a good thing to do. Of course all this has to be choosen in advance and not during the match. The cap limit is there to remove difficulties about that If ...

I don't have any objections to different match times other than 30 min. For all I care is we could even have 10 minute matches. But I do feel the concept of a league watered down by adding an option for several match length. I would rather see we settle on one match time, be it 10, 15 or 20 minutes ...

It is not the aim to just have cosmetically the number of matches look better, with more activity is ment that players actually spend more time on match servers. Two 15min matches of the same teams doesn't mean more activity than one 30min match. So if a good team is clever, it rather matches one we...

A completely different aproach with similar ideas is the following: Challenges Ladder Given a ladder with teams, a team can challenge only one of those teams that are a maximum of lets say 3 positions up the ladder. If the challenging team looses, nothing changes. If the challenging team wins, it ta...

Personally, my vision of the league is what it was 2 years ago. I haven't played bzflag 2 years ago, so i wouldn't know What would have have to CHANGE to get back there, besides people's attitudes? And, how do we do that ? Well, one way is to go back 5 years and wait another 3 years. This seems to ...

You may delete this post if you think it is completely unfit. After so many debates and ideas proposed, what we have is a poll about match length. Players have given a lot of input. And i say a lot. The league is dying. All the good players have either: - teamed up in one team - left - stopped match...

blue moon hehe Again, as orange and many others put it, what IS activity! Some very active people in the league and bz do not get to play but once in a blue moon because of time constraints. I think making that kind of restriction on members is too strong, and is a bad idea. 4: Council membership i...

I don't think we can limit or prevent people from changing teams, whether we are at the end of a season or not. Perhaps if folks know a season end is imminent, they will wait, but I think it should be left to the players to decide. (Mistake may not have meant for this to be mandated, but I just wan...

My Preferences and additional Ideas Season length: - 1 or 2 years I only play this game since about 1.5 years, and a lot can happen in this time, leagues die, new leagues come to live before a season is over - 4 - 6 month This gives all teams a fair amount of time to play matches and to participate...

The ELO ranking in chess describes what is the skill level of a player, meaning how hard it is to beat that player. It doesn't rate the players performance. The matches that determin the ELO rating of a player are usually those in the context of tournaments (championships) and competitions. Competit...

Look, I am pretty sure that all of my ideas are pretty far from reality, I posted them to illustrate what kind of league I want to play in, and with what kind of people I want to play with. If there was enough players in the ducati league that has no problem with actually playing matches, I wouldn't...

Some suggestions: 8) Every team has to play every other team once every two (or longer periods) month. If two teams haven't matched in the course of two month, both teams loose 50 points (or a percentage of their current rating) :? Teams should be discouraged of teaming up to avoid having to match e...

Client Idea: My Favourite Servers
Nice would be a feature, that can store the favourite servers in the config file, add another menu entry next to "Find Server" called "Favourite Servers" that makes these stored servers available.
