Time

[Durka]

Please not Thursday at 12pm noon for US pacific coast players and 3pm for east coast. Why not just make it every Sunday that there isn't a tournament. Besides, if a team keeps winning, then they have to show up every week. It would be better to have a week break inbetween. Most months this would mean 1 ladle 1 tst 3 kog. Sometimes only 2 kogs though.

Well I don't want to keep away all the americans who have other things to do during weekdays. So it means I'm kinda forced to change the day.. Not that anyone seems too excited to play anyway On the other hand I don't want to exclude the same people who are also excluded for the tst and ladles because they can't play on sunday. You know what, I'll make this thread into a poll to see how many people are against/pro playing sunday, and to see how many people like the second alternative: flexible times like 2020 suggested in the thread on the aaforums.

well
a fixed date and time
is one solution

how about the current kings of the grid
offering the server and time for the coming week...
ready to take on any challengers...?

this might be a regular thing
but it can change when a new team ousts the old one...

could a more flexible approach like this work?

It could work, but what I invisioned with Kings of the Grid was a tournament where you didn't need to do much stuff, just get a bunch of people together and ask if they can play on xxxday, and play. With flexible times, you need to ask people if they would like to play with you, ask everyone when they could play, ask when the kings can play, inform your team etc etc. I'm just not sure how much work people are willing to put into what might become a one game experience.

edit:

How about a hybrid between the flexible/fixed ideas: It is forced upon the kings to accept every challenge on Sunday between 8-11 pm gmt, but if they want they can go the extra mile and get more gamewins (which is what counts, anyway) by accepting games outside of that small timeframe.

*kick*

Anyone interested in the Fortress part of kings of the grid should take a look here. With the current results I think i'll just go with the flexible time idea. Want to stop/support that idea? then vote... or DIE



'Cause who doesn't want to be like P Diddy? huh?

i support flexible times

however there then could be the issue of organising dates and times, could end up taking ages.

any clanners will know what im on about here, can take weeks to setup a match, and some people still wont show
