that was my point, everyone would be less frustrated and he wouldn't have to deal with as much shit if he would just post regularly on his own rather than waiting for us to all angrily ask him individually.

edit: i personally didn't know he doesn't have contact with people in charge of the client. I assumed he would be in the know, since he's the admin of the league for which it is developed. it's not about saying "idk, client still broken" every hour but rather explaining the situation to us so that we all have a better understanding and have a better idea of what to expect

TL;DR BUT I THOUGHT IT INFORMATIVE, SO I'M SHARING

?Quindali: can we please get an honest update on whether or not client is getting fixed
Killing in the Name #esea: you think I'm witholding information?
?Quindali: i understand you're not in control of the software but if it's not getting fixed, we should know that now
?Quindali: it's not as if the only news that can be released is "it's still not working"
?Quindali: a status update is just that, an update
?Quindali: people have other things to do than wait around until two hours before match time to hear that it's still broken and we should somehow reschedule again and that it "should be working by tomorrow"
Killing in the Name #esea: the second I know more
Killing in the Name #esea: I'll tell you
Killing in the Name #esea: unless you think I'm lying about what I kno
Killing in the Name #esea: w
Killing in the Name #esea: I'm not sure what you wanted me to tell you
?Quindali: it's not about what you know or don't know it's about sharing what you know
?Quindali: right now, it's still not fixed, correct?
Killing in the Name #esea: exactly
Killing in the Name #esea: so I asked
Killing in the Name #esea: do you think I'm withholding information
Killing in the Name #esea: that would be not telling you what I know
?Quindali: then i guess yeah
?Quindali: because there hasn't been any update on esea or tf.tv, it's just all community members spectating "still broken"
Killing in the Name #esea: so you think that's it's a good idea on my part to tell everyone that it'll be fixed tommorow morning when I have no idea
?Quindali: no, that's my point
?Quindali: right now you know that it is STILL broken i'm saying you should be giving us status updates
?Quindali: rather than sitting in silence and having everyone just ask the same question "what's going on"
Killing in the Name #esea: what makes you think I have any status updates
?Quindali: ... if it's not fixed
?Quindali: then it's still broken
?Quindali: and that in itself is a status
?Quindali: you should update us with that, considering the last we heard was "it will be fixed by tomorrow night"
Killing in the Name #esea: people said it's still broken
Killing in the Name #esea: it's still broken i guess
Killing in the Name #esea: I have no information
Killing in the Name #esea: I give updates when I have information you do'n
Killing in the Name #esea: t
?Quindali: and who exactly has information then
Killing in the Name #esea: who knows
?Quindali: who is responsible for updating the client
Killing in the Name #esea: I get updates
?Quindali: i don't know, i guess maybe i thought you would since you're an admin and all
Killing in the Name #esea: I relay them to tftv
Killing in the Name #esea: so it's quite clear that your original assumption taht I know somethign that I'm not sharing is clearly wrong
Killing in the Name #esea: so what would you have me do?
?Quindali: no, i said that you're not communicating anything at all
?Quindali: that you're sitting in silence
Killing in the Name #esea: there's no updates
Killing in the Name #esea: I have no information
Killing in the Name #esea: that you don't
?Quindali: and apparently no information on where we can get information
Killing in the Name #esea: I am where you can get information
?Quindali: so your answer to me, as an admin, is basically fuck off and wait
Killing in the Name #esea: it's not fuck off and wait
Killing in the Name #esea: it's I have no new information
?Quindali: who is responsibile for updating the client?
?Quindali: is it even being worked on right now?
Killing in the Name #esea: I would assume so
Killing in the Name #esea: I'm not part of the client team
?Quindali: ...... have no not considered asking them for an update on their progress
Killing in the Name #esea: I don't have contact with them
Killing in the Name #esea: I have contact with people who have contact with them
?Quindali: alright, and when was the last time you heard from them then
Killing in the Name #esea: last night
Killing in the Name #esea: I just got home and was gonna make some calls
?Quindali: well then i guess i look forward to whatever you find out
?Quindali: it'd be nice if we could hear earlier than an hour or two before our scheduled matches
Killing in the Name #esea: you hear
Killing in the Name #esea: the second I find out
Killing in the Name #esea: literally
?Quindali: and at this point i don't think it's even possible to reschedule anymore because no servers are available
Killing in the Name #esea: the second I find out
Killing in the Name #esea: it's the first thing I do
?Quindali: i understand that, my point is i think you should still explain this to the community on your own, rather than waiting for individuals to seek you out
Killing in the Name #esea: explain what?
?Quindali: you do have information-- the fact that 1) you're not in touch with the people who update the client
?Quindali: 2) that the last time you heard was still last night and there's no new information
?Quindali: 3) that yuo're contacting them now
?Quindali: people would appreciate that knowledge, and the fact that you're ignorant in the situation and also trying to do something abotu it
Killing in the Name #esea: 1) that has nothing to do with anything
Killing in the Name #esea: 2) Saying there's no new information isn't what people care about
Killing in the Name #esea: 3) Just becuase I'm contacting them doesn't mean I'm about to get info
?Quindali: if that's your opinion, that's fine i guess
Killing in the Name #esea: I don't find it neccesary for me to defend my ignorace
?Quindali: but here i am, a community member, and i care about all those things
Killing in the Name #esea: you want to hate me more than hitler
Killing in the Name #esea: doesn't change anythign
Killing in the Name #esea: but I'm not sure why you care about them
?Quindali: it's not about hating you it's about the principle that you are an admin and that means should
Killing in the Name #esea: what does it change?
?Quindali: it shows that you're trying, it explains the situation, and it gives everyone contact with a voice of authority and control
?Quindali: rather than us all circle jerking each other on forums repeating the same shit
Killing in the Name #esea: All it really does is save my ass
?Quindali: again, here i am telling you it does more than that
?Quindali: but if you're not going to be receptive to what someone is suggesting then that's fine
?Quindali: anyways, thanks for clarification i've gtg to work now
?Quindali: fingers crossed for good news i guess
Killing in the Name #esea: I'm not not being receptive
Killing in the Name #esea: I'm just curious
Killing in the Name #esea: because I don't think it makes sense
?Quindali: then it doesn't make sense, to you. me saying that it does isn't going to change anything
?Quindali: thanks for info, peace
Killing in the Name #esea: peace

preferably before our scheduled match times...

from my trip to the arctic this past summer

matches are cancelled for tonight.. SO GLAD I PAY FOR THIS LEAGUE MAN WHAT A JOY

"use the scheduler to reschedule your match" only times left with available servers are like 11:30est gg

either way, I think people should've been notified of it earlier so we could schedule accordingly

what atmo said (troubleshoot their own software) and also maybe release that the client won't be fixed and that matches need to be rescheduled BEFORE night of match when people are already geting ffl's and freaking out, then having to deal with rescheduling when there aren't even anymore servers available

based on what the euros are dealing with right now Idk if it'll even be fixed by match time for NA players tonight

good to know they were productive in the extra three weeks of offseason

watch with your friends/teammates or switch around and watch each other's together (pocket watches med, med watches pocket), then shit talk each other and tell em how bad they are and ask them why they're on your team :P

"god why didn't you get that airshot"

the only reason why people take their time paying is because everyone expects registration to be extended, since that's what happens every single season. all it takes is one season where they actually close registration when they say so (a month of offseason is more than enough to pay) and yeah sure, each division would be smaller but then every season afterwards would be much smoother and run how it should be

agree, I realize it's a lot. That's why it'd be easier if the league figured out what works best first (like season start dates) then enforced it strictly to facilitate a smooth season, rather than their choice of setting tentative dates then having to extend and change logistics later on, trying to find something that works and ending up messing with everyone's schedules. when administering any kind of event, it's always easiest for the host to determine logistics and then to tell everyone participating

when you have a party do you tell everyone a date and time, then some people complain and change their minds, so you follow by changing the date and time again? then again?

people not paying registration fees is not something that should take an extra three weeks. if esea had a policy of "pay or you're not playing" rather then "oh man people still haven't paid, better extend the entire season by 2 weeks. damn they still haven't paid? better extend it again" they would find themselves in much more control and everything would run more ideally
