And my hard work to get the countries from DDT-file in the EURO2004 will start now <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>


now the problem we have here is that the majority of the entrants are seasoned players, with only 5 listed as new players, not in my book what the drop in tourney is aiming to achieve. ShÃ*t any of us can organise a seasoned game for CMO regulars to play each other. The idea of this is for new players to come in and play with a few, and i'm talking handful of seasoned players and get a feel, i dont call this 5:16 ratio a new player friendly game.

Kozak as much as your enthusiasm for the online scene is large. I would of prefered if you had waited till we had set up some sort of regime for these drop in tourneys. I have been working on a system which i was going to run by the community for feedback.

This game has been well organised but i see it as simply a one off network challenge and not addressing the points argued in the ideas sticky.

I'll still be watching tho, i still like the finals tourney

I only joined because everybody else did, but Dog's your point is spot on...I'll gladly withdraw if more newbies apply.

[retired_zjx510]

There are 7 unexperienced guys as far as I see. Group 1 & 2 are both unexperienced. What is almost 50%. A next point is that people from each others clans can meet each other.
Further I didn't see more newbies apply or showing interest when I contacted them. I just contacted some people when Marlow emptied the Available Player listings. The reason why I've split the applicants up in groups is to make clear there aren't that many newbies at this forum. If they were there then they would have been in!

I will see what I can do for you. You will hear from me.

[retired_gallant_pat]

Kozak whats the point of trying to discuss the point with you when you "are always right" you have an answer for everything instead of taking a step back and realising maybe someone has a constructive comment. This roll eyes is ****ing me off btw and shows lack of respect. No matter what you say, the game caters in favour for the experienced regular.

I think you are a good host btw , but stop running before wyou can walk. We are trying as a community to implement a system that suits all. As a online fan myself i will never stop a host setting up a game at all but you will be on your own with this one as i hope to implement a communnity agreed regime in the next week or so

[retired_zjx510]

Wtf. I let a Paul Doherty in for an experienced one and its still not good. I'm just organising a tournament for fun and not to make the forum better as I think you won't get it much better.

[retired_smbowens]

Maybe you should advise the experienced players that their acceptance is provisional and that Group 1 & 2 players take priority.

Your idea of bringing together Clans is also a good one as this is a problem with the forum - the individual nature of each Clan.

I reckon you are doing a good job there Kozak, but must agree with Dogs that your overuse of the smiley ****es me off as well.
