Thank you for pointing that out. The 4v4 admin did NOT approve that match. He wasn't even asked. In fact, we were told on at least 2 occasions that we were not allowed to do that, by our admin, who was on our team, and had to postpone matches, or wait until a player showed up to be able to play.Zman42 wrote:we played a 4v3 because we just enjoy playing who gives a shit if sw made it to playoffs or not, and the funny thing there is the 4v4 admin IS ON YOUR TEAM.Uncle Rico wrote:Um, maybe you don't remember playing a 4v3 so a team could slide into the playoffs at the last minute last season?Zman42 wrote:1: what Ko said, if you don't play under the correct steam ID you'd get overturned in CAL as well, so why exactly are you complaining? you broke a rule and arent happy it was enforced? 2: lol dallas at the way you chose to change the score, instead of just forfietting or whatever. rico? what team had an admin break a rule so they could win in cal? and why is this relevant?

why would they restore the win? they broke the rules.The Argumentalizer wrote:For me, there are several reasons to play Warzone. 3 v 3 yes, but an informal and fun league was the main reason.
The deadline WAS extended to request and a 2 v 2 was played last night. I really don't understand negating EWRs score based on a lame technicality.
In a way, it seems to be suicidal for Warzone to do such a thing. Actually, i am WTF?!?!?!
Looks like we will 3 teams maybe left.
Its crazy. Folks want to play a game competitively but it is getting to the point a frickin Spinal Tap (not the movie) is more enjoyable.
if it is possible to alter a few things here and there and help folks get matches done, i don't get this little technicality thing.
Restore EWR's win and lets just play without this nonsense.

Ping is not the only factor to look at when choosing servers. Choke and loss actually have a greater effect on playability and you could have an artificially low ping while having high loss/choke. Ping in itself means nothing but response time from the server, if those packets are getting lost or if you end up sending less packets your game play will not be as smooth.l2k wrote:Nutri all the things you described happen to me anytime I (a west coast player) plays on a Chicago server or any other east server (including yours), its ping or routing related. BY looking at the screens everyones ping was better at the 911 server, than it was at the ewr server which further goes to show that Dallas is a more equal place to host matches. The internet is not a perfect system and mostly routing causes issues for certain people sometimes and there is nothing that can be done about that, so as long as a server is central that is the best that can be done to TRY to make it the best playing experience for all involved.

This is very true, however choke and loss are primarily a client caused issue especially loss. Loss is mostly caused by routers across the internet dropping your packets enroute to the server, choke is mostly caused by your cl_updaterate and cl_cmdrate exceeding your bandwith capabilities. So again the most fair thing to do is to have a TRUE central server and everybodies internet connection and cfg are hopefully optimized the best they can be, but that optimization is not the responsibility of the person hosting the game.voxtex wrote:Ping is not the only factor to look at when choosing servers.

You're absolutely right but I would still prefer a server where I can use cl_updaterate "66", cl_cmdrate "66", and rate 30000 as to get the most amount of data being transferred with no choke/loss. This will without a doubt be an advantage over someone who is forced to use 20 20 10000 just to achieve 0 loss and 0 choke. More data transferred = more accuracy when it comes to client/server interaction. Putting settings at 66, 66, and 30000 with most servers having ticks of 66 is as accurate as it gets (except for LAN of course).L2k wrote:This is very true, however choke and loss are primarily a client caused issue especially loss.

I don't know if you have ever looked at a servers resource meter running a 3v3, but trust me the resources it uses are very slim. Most modern servers can easily run 10 -15 instances of hl2dm without even hitting the 20 percent mark.
I am constantly in servers where people are crying lagg, choke loss ect and yet its perfect for me, so its usually a client problem and not a server problem.

Everyone can take a note from seagull he is not just good at playing dm but also scheming ways to win, like in CAL 4v4 when 911 and VDuS where supposed to play, he pulled some shit about the server having some plugin saying we automatically forfeit the 1st round, which made us have to postpone the game to a later time till we could get the CAL admins to sort everything out, during that time period, luke took deuce away from us, so when we had to play VDuS we are down one of our best players, i tell you its all a conspiracy.Seagull wrote:you guys talked shit about the server and pissed dallas off, even threatening one of you with suspension, so he comes back after losing and pulls out a technicality which he probably wouldn't have if he didn't think you guys were acting like dicks
