[15:10:55] GM Nova > Once you warp in, stay put and watch local for a command to fight
[15:11:09] GM Nova > Good luck.
[15:11:39] GM Nova > Warp to the Arena 2 now please
[15:13:12] Xiong Yoshi > WAIT UNTIL ECM BURST TO DO ANYTHING
[15:13:21] GM Nova > Exactly
[15:13:26] GM Nova > Watch local
in local we see this....
[15:11:05] CCP Claw > 4 minutes remaining
[15:14:15] CCP Claw > 1 minute remaining
[15:15:04] CCP Claw > 10 seconds
[15:15:10] CCP Claw > 5
[15:15:14] CCP Claw > END
.... lol... guess we figured that was for us, seen as we were told to watch local. We engaged, assuming the local countdown was for us as stated.
[15:36:23] CCP Mindstar > The countdown finished with End. [15:36:45] CCP Mindstar > additionally, violating the countdown was NOT what caused the forfeit [15:37:20] CCP Mindstar > subsequently violating the "no moving before the fight" rule while we were trying to even things out and get a fight happening was.
sorry guys.... but we didn't move, and was waiting. it would have been a good fight, we got disqualified. "i am a noob, so when i pop you... feel the shame!!" |

i think you should not warp people into the hostile situation before the other game has finished :(
telling them to watch local, then wonder why after a countdown teams engage,,,, Simple mistake tbh, and if The GM's choose to not see this, the is nothing we can do.
I put it down to bad sequancing, and communications.. no one told us the other game was about to finish. If it happened before, maybe you should have held everyone back till that had finished.
People cancelled RL stuff and got up early for this. Good fun, turned into upset people :( what is sad, is that they couldn't remburse a ship killed. And lets face it... sorry we insta popped the BB and crow. It was a crow CCP Claw! |

Originally by: Tyrrax Thorrk Look it wasn't even close to the start time, so it's the team's fault and nobody else's.
They don't start matches early, ever. this having happened before is all the more reason for people to not be clueless about it ;P
not everyone is a vet at this like you TT... to me, its just sad :( |

Originally by: Tyrrax Thorrk Didn't you guys use your scanners JS ? Should've seen there was still people fighting when you were checking what your opposing team was fielding 
hey.. i guess we can do nothing now... but hell we just learnt a lot in a few seconds :P one of the guys had a scanner.. and we noted what was in system. out side of that, you had a lot of highly excited players...

Edited by: JS LiamElms on 25/01/2009 17:50:12 i was FC'ing POS.... i was told to watch local for a countdown, I watched local, 1 saw 5 mins been counted, i saw 1 min... told my guys to get ready.. we about to start.... 10s 5s.... i tell them here goes... i see next 'text', i am already in GO mode, he could have said 'you all smell of donkey pop' We'd geared up, ready to hit everything we had... and ready to hit this tourny as a small group of guys facing many big alliances with plenty of isk.... a mountin would have shifted with the sheer wieght of our enthusiam!!!
One eye on local, one eye on making sure i hit the right primary.
So.. yes, i saw a word, i thought it meant we should start.
IF, i held everyone back, and waited... and infact i was wrong... we'd have died. sitting ducks.
The realisity is.. we got told to watch local for a countdown, we where sitting there watching the other team right infront of us... and we see a countdown.
We moved when the countdown was up.
edit: At no point was we told we'd spend 10 mins watching the other team and waiting till the other game had finished. We expected we'd be held off the field till the other team has finished, told to warp in, and then watch local for a count down. Ensuring any countdown didn't happen while we are pumped and ready to fight facing the other side. |

Originally by: Mickey Simon As a neutral observer, I don't think this has been handled well at all.
It takes all of an extra few keystrokes to address who the countdown is for.
You mean the few extra keystrokes that were said 5 minutes before the POS vs Tenth Legion match ?
[ 2009.01.25 15:15:38 ] GM Xamother > This countdown is not for you!
o.0 might like to check to see if that was said in your gang channel? cause i don't remember any GM Xamother... we had Nova.
so please, if you got that information??? and we did not.... well, hell thats a whole different ball game!
infact...... hang on a sec... i just taking this in.. YOU GOT TOLD THE COUNTDOWN IN LOCAL WAS NOT FOR YOU??? No wonder you never made a move!!! what...?? why didn't you link that before? |
