It can be brutal how the rules are changed but not the rules themselves, you've made your point. However, they're not being reversed or changed, just deal with it and play your games.
I've never played Evolved Ones so I don't know how they play, but judging from the Division scores you're -supposedly- better than them (No disrespect). You're also getting to play more games this season, which would be enough for me.
So now we are gonna complain about having to play against USA teams? Nothing more you wanna complain about while this thread is still open? Strange that everybody else played against teams with 8-10 hour difference, and still havent complained. Or maybe Div4 should have an exception? Especially for Team Vexta? Cause nothing seems to please you guys anymore. Zefram just started as an admin, and Swalks rules imho wasnt the best, but i dont cry about it. To play more games is just good after all the forfeits that's been around!
And F*cking hell.. LIFE AINT FAIR! RUSSIA IS POOR,SYRIA IS GETTING BOMBED, BLINDS COUNTRY LOST WWII,SWEDEN FULL OF IMMIGRANTS
Rules are rules and as stated, they can be changed during the season. Ofc there's always gonna be people who wont like em like you.. but do you really need to start B*tching about it? Jesus christ.. i Found Eisteeat to be annyoing before, but YOU? You just raised the bar by miles far ahead of him...
I had multiple conversations with Ralcor for WEEKS trying to assess where the match was being scheduled at. He showed me multiple conversations he had with various team leaders from Renegade attempting to schedule the match for LITERALLY WEEKS. Ralcor offered many EU friendly times and they refused to take any of them. If you go read the comments, it's pretty clear it was one sided.
Don't fucking talk about what you don't know. You don't know that team AT ALL. EO is particularly near and dear to my heart. The guy who posted? W0k? He's been frustrated with trying to schedule with a number of EU teams because 1. His team is mostly west coast NA, so there is a 9hr time difference between CET and PST so they can only play weekends and 2. He has multiple starting players who have recently become unavailable on weekends due to work. This has led to a lot of frustration with not being able to field their starting lineup for any of their EU matches.
So let me say it again: Don't fucking assume and talk about what you don't know. You've been whiny in every one of your posts and talking out your ass. You assume so much and you don't know jack shit. So get off your high horse and stop bitching about EVERYTHING.
Also, Ryssk, I don't know you at all, but this made me laugh really hard. You're wonderful.
TL;DR You won't read this. It's too long for you. You post a small issue in an over dramatic manner in a public forum expecting to slate people and the community without response. The manner in which you posted was more about pointing blame sticks at people, and not getting to the issue. You're rude and unprofessional when it comes to issues you have and then get butthurt when someone "unrelated" disagrees with you and explains why. It's impossible to have a discussion with you because you look to slate people and then cry when people criticise you. Talk more about the issue at hand in a neutral manner rather than starting these discussions with loaded language intended to be inflammatory and you might find people are more reasonable with you rather than troll you with .gifs and .jpgs
Your first point is that more teams are put in than the rules initially said.
Your second point is that you're playing some "random" team when in fact you're playing the 4th placed team in the other group which isn't random, that's how seedings work in this kind of layout.
The issue everyone has with this thread is that it's abrasive, rude, and disrespectful. If you're going to put something like that up in a public forum, expect replies of equal nature. You can't post yet another thread flaming people and not expect people to respond. You're completely out of touch with reality when it comes to how to deal with people. You have an issue with an admin like Zefram and you don't just go publicly denouncing them, you speak with them privately first.
If you want to discuss why something has changed, go for it. That's what forums are for. But no, you feel the need to claim the rules "pointless" and blame Zefram for "sealing the deal" with regards to killing the game. You're not a polite person to me, or anyone else who makes a decision you don't agree with or who disputes things you say. You're very self entitled to think that you're right and the people who answered for the other side of the argument are just wrong, stupid, and "a joke".
The wonderful thing about this forum is that it's open to the public to read. This is where you seem to get confused and defensive against me. I actually am entitled to speak my mind on this particular topic. If you didn't want input from certain individuals, go and talk to the admins directly asking for clarification instead of trying to name and shame as you love to do. Also, I don't argue with half the people in each thread, I argue with those I disagree with, because, you know, that's how debates and discussions work.
This thread is so pointless and melodramatic that the solution is simply to get over it. The small change is not a big deal. Yes I pick apart what you say so I can analyse it, understand the logic behind your arguments, and counter-argue. Although the funny thing is that everything you write is full of style and no real substance. It's full of butthurt emotions with no real logical, consistent premises. I don't look to disagree with people for the sake of disagreeing, I only post to disagree with people when I actually disagree. I'm not a devils advocate to troll.
LOL MY TEAM HISTORY! Oh God... That's a very large jump to that conclusion.
Have you considered that GorgeForts was a joke between friends and that it was never a team?
Epic Roadrunners leave date is coincidentally the same day I joined duplex, an obvious choice to make which I communicated well with that team and they happily let me leave.
Duplex was inactive because some people had personal reasons so I left to play in hard.day who then went inactive over summer.
Team UK was for the nations cup where as soon as the date was revealed, I had to back out due to exams.
And then duplex take 2 was great but I left because of commitments I have elsewhere being more important to me than the stale nature of the game at the time.
Team Work and Tactics was a team to join casually, I never played an official with them.
GirlFriends was a joke team which links back to GorgeForts in an inside joke. It's not serious lmfao.
Of course though, really, all those teams never worked out for me because I pick at, re-word, turn around and generally disagree with everyone.
@Osku Thanks for your comment, I can only assume your trolling one liner is due to you being unable to answer the logic my post presents. I also find it mildly humorous a guy with 5 posts enters a forum asking "who are you". Again another person that thinks they are trolling me but just trolling themselves, the website and the game.
EDIT: Roo why get rid of your post? you called me a muppet and said vexta should get rid of me because they are all nice guys and you have played with me in pubs and i'm a complete idiot.
@Roobubba It seems you have that much respect for Vexta and the people in it that you don't think them capable of making their own minds up. You have NEVER played with me in pub servers? So I find it extremely odd, ironic and hypercritical that you think your qualified to say I'm such a bad guy because here's what we do know: You come on here throwing personal insults around calling people you don't know muppets and in doing so have pretty much discredited yourself, everything you just said gives people insight as to who you are more than it does me. EDIT: (Which is probably why you have now deleted it)
I'm not going to suggest I get on with every single one of the thousands of people that have ever played NS2, that would be preposterous and I doubt anyone can claim such a thing. I'd be the first to admit I swear at an unusually high rate, It's just how people in my area and profession talk to each other, but I only ever use it in emphasis and It's extremely rare that it would be aimed directly at anyone. I can however say I have 1500hrs on NS2 and I get on with most of the people in my regulars and have most of them on steam friends. That's not to say I don't get as annoyed as the next guy when a green player with no mic jumps in the comm chair and wastes 20 minuets of everyone's time. 1500hrs will do that to a person and this is a competitive game and attracts people with a competitive nature.
@Ryssk I only needed to read the first line of your post, to dismiss the entire thing. If you read the link properly you would see Its not me complaining about playing USA teams, it was them saying its a pain in the ass scheduling more games due to the change. You've COMPLETELY misunderstood (like always) and your entire reply is irrelevant. You are seriously obtuse full retard and I'm not wasting any more of my time replying to you.
@Decoy Assuming? How am I assuming anything when I am linking a guys post so you can read it for yourselves. Do you know what the word assumption means?
@wob You're right, I didnt read most of it. By the way regarding your clan history, It's what I've been told by other people who have been in the clans with you.
Ah kilo, this is making me laugh, its a game, do you not have a life? or dose your life evolve around playing NS2? Do you have a Girlfriend? or do you fall apart as soon as the 1st girl looks at you?
Do you ever go outside? Do you even know what that is?!
Anyhow, back to my popcorn.
P.s
Back on topic, the rule changes was unexpected to say the least, but hey whats one more game? and as for saying "Other teams have not earned the right to be in the playoffs" perhaps, but look at it another way, the higher you finish in the group means you will play a team that has the lowest place in the other group, so on paper you guys should win this game? or is it that your afraid of playing another game, with the chance of losing?
@Maxamus I absolutly LOVE your post, here it is incase he deletes it:
"Ah kilo, this is making me laugh, its a game, do you not have a life? or dose your life evolve around playing NS2? Do you have a Girlfriend? or do you fall apart as soon as the 1st girl looks at you?

How childish is this guy? Do I not have a life? does my entire life revolve around a game? Do I not have a girlfriend? Do I go outside?
Heres a question for you mate...
Do you realise how many people you have just insulted that have more hours gameplay than me and dont have a girlfriend?
Again another person who comes on the tread trying to say how bad one person is BY DOING THE EXACT SAME!
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!?!?! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
It's not about how bad you are. It's about how petty you are and how serious you take this shit. Sure loads of people have a lot of hours and don't have a girlfriend, but none are whinier than you.
EDIT: You know what. Fuck this shit, this would go on and on and on, lets face it, anyone on the outside will read this and think we are all fucking retards. The only difference between us is I'm leaving this forum now, you guys will be here... FOREVER. Have fun
