    Another Sunday night pasted last night and no sign of most of alpha squad and no sign of our squad leader or word that he wouldn't be there.

    Luckily enough i was able to get some friends to play so we still managed to get a game this week.

    I think its time we got a new squad leader and kicked the players that just dont show up. We have the makings of a half decent team if more than 4 where active on a Sunday night.

    Il put myself forward for squad leader if no one has any problems with it cause at the min its me sorting out alpha squad anyhows.

    Enderman/cherryghost has said in the latest fixture thread that he can't make Sundays and he's out now. I doubt anyone has a problem with you being squad leader, so I'd say it's safe to assume you can claim that title from now on. And yeah, new squad list needed.

    Anyone who can (and will) play on Sunday nights add your name and BF3 ID:

    Delta squad was made up of 5 members of DoWUK.
    I had a hard time getting hold of most too for some reason, so as I mentioned in other posts...I can drop the DoWUK lads and combine Alpha/Delta using the people who play and post on here to make 1 suqad.

    4-5 from Alpha who show, and the 7 or so from Delta = 10-11 boardsies :D

    Haven't been playing in a few weeks, and my account got hacked :(

    But as soon as I have my account back I'd love to join up if I'm needed :)

    Ya sure id be up for that make life easier and by the looks of it boards cant support 2 active teams, just not enough interest.

    I suppose its up to kdjac to decide :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 914 ✭✭✭TheFairy


    8 player teams might have been a better idea lads, always gonna be a struggle to find 12 players on any night. Also the small maps work way better with 8 players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,912 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    But there's usually an overflow of players, and it gives more people a game.

    We could have say Delta vs TiG , and that night there will no doubt be craggy plus 1 or 2 boards about, who can then make up the numbers for both teams.

    Gives everyone a chance of a game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 995 ✭✭✭iColdFusion


    You guys should rename it the A-Team, won't have any problem getting members then.

    If I played on PC I'd join but only if people called me Murdock and whoever was BA made a point of never getting in a chopper with me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75



    I suppose its up to kdjac to decide :cool:

    Obviously i would prefer 2, i mean we have 110 people in the Boards platoon, i thought we could get 12x2. Only played one game but it was as good as i expected i really do think the 12 man works.

    If we combine we have only 3 teams :( If i/we dont have another bunch by this time thursday we combine, you and imawesome can knife fight for Squad leader (you won a game, he beat TIG 186-0)


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 3,093 Mod ✭✭✭✭ktulu123


    I think four teams would make it more interesting. If there's only three one team will miss out each week. @Mick-fitz I suggest you set up an Alpha Squad platoon on battlelog, I set one up for delta, its good for organising who's gonna be on etc.

    Would like to see this kept going after we finish this one. Maybe 5 v 5 inf, or Rush only etc. Again thanks to KD for getting it organised.

    God i hate rush :D

    A mega Datacull of the boards platoon is in order :pac:

    I really dnt mind not been squad leader :D it can be a pain.

    Is there any way you can post that we are making teams to the board.ie platoon page might make people come look at the forum.

    p.s. Could be handy to update the original tread saying we are looking for more players and drop the inactive people from both squads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 261 ✭✭GHOST MGG2


    looking for more active players on boards...
    can they all bring there xbox 360s with them too:-)

    Disband ! Go into Administration !
    Currently 20:20 and only poor Mick on TS alone, 10 Delta.
    Kind of unfair on everyone, especially if people made plans or went out of their way to make the match.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42 RunningShovel


    Can anyone hop in here? Cause I'd be delighted to get some actual organised, teamplaying matches going. There's only so much I can do by screaming PTFO in chat in public games :(.

    Here's my Battlelog page:
    Clikc


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 231 ✭✭mick-fitz8585


    Alpha going no where spent my last sunday hanging around waiting for no shows.

    Funny thing is most are on battlelog but wont join, some that join decided delta was the place for them and didn't bother joining alpha channel.

    Then there's the organization which oh wait there wasn't any.
    Once again the server wasn't set up and the person in control of it doesn't even know how to use it.

    Thats my few cents, alpha has gone under.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 914 ✭✭✭TheFairy


    Maybe park this league as it stands till player numbers build up again? In the mean time maybe organise a 5 man inf only or 8 man rush league until that time. Games on a Wed / Sunday night?

    We could also do a ladder, however would need a few more teams, maybe an invite only ladder?

    Wouldnt want to see this die, allright theres a bit of argy bargy but sure thats all part of it isnt it :D

    Alpha and CI both gone.

    Delta wins the league by default :p

    TIG had a server for us to use last night in the event of Boards one not being available.

    Thats half the problem there,you knew we had a sec server and said nothing to alpha about it, we where asking for 20mins to lock the boards server so we could play the game.

    If this is to happen again its need to be run properly at the min its a joke every part of it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 914 ✭✭✭TheFairy


    I posted we had a server available on boards here, its not like it was kept a secret! We have to be fair to KD here, and all have some sort of responsibility in keeping this running smoothly!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88 ✭✭umpsfar


    and yet we ended up with a full game of over 24 players, ok 25, still over 24 :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,920 ✭✭✭AnCapaillMor


    A good few of those had nothing to do with the boards thingy. Good crack though.

    A public game with public players and no one on the side they should be with the server open so that anyone can join ???

    I came into delta channel a few times asking whats going on but no one said diddly or wanted to do anything about it.

    I then asked shiminay who was in the server but not on ts to lock the server which he couldn't, at this stage it was 9:20 so no reason to play.

    Im not saying it KD fault not once did i say that but you cant say it was even remotely organized. We didn't even have servers set up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,473 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    locking the server is a pain in the ass..not only do you have to set it in the config and do a reboot but also in bf3cc...It was also the only way I could get it to work for Craggy.
    It also needs the unranked mode to be set in the config file as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    Im not saying it KD fault not once did i say that but you cant say it was even remotely organized. We didn't even have servers set up.

    But we did we had 2 servers, as our match was getting closer and we had an admin. I wasnt going to bug Fairy whose match was about to start to sort out another server.

    Only problem last night was Alpha and CI had no teams, we ended out playing a public game which wa s abit of craic. Somehow Delta had 15 as people who couldnt make the 1st 2 were around.

    Any sort of game relies on people to show up, infairness without you there wouldnt be an Alpha team in the 1st place.

    Fcuk all i can do if people dont show up.

    Im not saying its your fault but if the person who has control over the server (i know he has asked for someone who knows how to work it to do it but no one came forward, personally i haven't a clue been awhile since i messed with a bf server) cant lock it in the first place then doesn't matter if all 12 are there we cant play.

    If this happens again there needs to be dedicated servers for it or at least set up a day in advance and dropped from 12 to 8 or 5 players.
    Also unless people are actively playing bf3 they shouldn't be allowed into the ladder cause all you get is no shows.

    The best thing would be 5 player teams with matches taking place any day within a week (Squad leaders can sort date and time) that way we would have more teams and less reason for no shows as the game can take place over any day of the week

    And for the people who cant usually make it could be subs for the teams so that way your not relying on people to show who mite not make it
