Please read the statements below
I would like to change the way the games are hosted.
Each team will be responsible for hosting their own HOME games.

I am looking for hosters to host games for those who do not have hosting capabilities.
I don't beleive this league has the luxury of looking for the perfect server. We need to just get the games played.

Captains, Please let me know you plans to get the missed games rescheduled and played.
Contact me if you need a server.

Napalm

Hey gang! Season Mode is HERE!

The Hell's Angles could save themselves the hassle of playing every week by just waiting until the last week of the season to play all of there games. Maybe an all day marathon, 12 straight hours or so.

Lol

Good luck to ya HA

I am game for that. Hell I played for 28 hours straight once :P

Could Stan or one of the other Euros get in touch with me about scheduling this week's game?

Thanks.

Monkey

^ I have a suprise for you tonight :P

^ and I for you. I'll knock three times before I deliver it. I'm sure it will blow your mind! ;)

Rats may have to reschedule games tonite, approximately half of team may not be able to make it, prok kj get some inidicated they may not be able to show due to family committments, dan weasel and bernie have not replied to emails in weeks, will check arounfd 830 however looks like we may have to resched. If one of the above does show we will do 4 on 4 but looks doubtful

Lep

Hi Monkey and Rabban. Come to wizzy. Don't be shy now. You will make fine heavies for my steak over here. And don't forget to bring your swollen friends too. Tell them to eat as much as they can until we meet next game. I need some extra calories to make my head fit in this hat.

Where the hell are the servers ? From now on, I want to know who is hosting for me or let me find my own host. This is 2 weeks in a row :(

@ The Pernicious Carbuncles
Not sure where you are but thanks for the wins ! Our game was scheduled for 9pm EST and no is around. No offnece but we have a enough double headers so we will take the wins :(

@ Iron Sloth
Hope we have a server to play in.

@ Supra
Whats going on ? B)

@LW

We don't appear to have a server. If you guys are willing, we can use the IronSloth server. I'll sit out so nobody has an advantage. It's up now with the league password.

Ooo come on loonne there was no server open saying HA vs. TPC. Cant we reschulde or something. (cant Believe this)

@all
Supra had a MAJOR crisis yesterday/today. I could not get anything out, to my team, of on the hosting. Sorry about this. It could not be avoided. Apologies all around.

@lone
My team will need some understanding here. It was my fault and unavoidable. We need to reschedule. Please email me. Thanks!

Original post above my thread was changed while I was posting this...

Hey Lonewolf, am I correct when I ask if the server provided to us last week was a server that did not comply the league rules and we attempted to use it anyway since no league server was set up for us? Also to Lonewolf - how many of the PC team players were available to play against us this week? Was their enough to field a team or did you not receive word that the entire team would not be there? I certainly did not enjoy sitting around my office waiting for no one to show up. I really dont want to re-schedule and sit around another hour on a different night. I would hate for an entire team to have unforseen circumstances. I did appreciate that we had a server and a team to play against in the second of our SCHEDULED doubleheader. Thanks for showing up tonight Iron Sloth. It was fun to play a game in this league after a few weeks of sitting around.

Hey fatty - there is a reason. Everything we type isnt always conveyed in the right way. I deleted it because my friend lonewolf might convey it in a way I was not intending.

After my week and my day.... Your friendly message was so nice to read.

I think Im done - enjoy the league folks.

Last edited: Thursday, October 13, 2005 at 9:11:26 PM

@ All,

Effectively I need to quit TBML. I have landed a senior position for a company, and this will mean that I will no longer have time for TT. I wish you all the best, and best of luck IS.

SSMe

PS:- Good game 2day HA.

Hey Supra, sorry for whatever is going on in your life that has you down. I see that you have edited your last two posts and it appears to me that the changes I saw made were to not come off abrasive in any way. I commend you for that. I am a tell-it-like-it-is kind of person (like you said - doing what I do best) and I apologize if you do not appreciate my demeanor. I believe that you are a valued member of the TT community and enjoy the game as much as anyone. I also believe that you will eventually decide to stay with the league that you chair. The fact of the matter with you and Lonewolf has to do with a no-show team in which you are captain. I won't go to look at the rules to see if anything is mentioned about no-shows, but my opinion (if it matters) is that there is too much leniency in this league already. As a result, teams have to reschedle and wait around, etc. If my team didnt show up for a match, Id expect us to forfeit. It may be harsh, but thats the breaks, kid. Why do those that make the effort and show up have to suffer in TBML? Believe me, I would rather play a match. I just want to play them when they are scheduled.

Again - im done.

Come on supra take a few deep breaths exhale and we will see you next week.:). I have alot of family problems/emergency's.your family does come first.don't worry what others say

Last edited: Thursday, October 13, 2005 at 10:11:41 PM

Gamera,

Im not worried what others say. Please see seasons 1-4 for reference to this issue. I have thicker skin than this.

Fatty has always harrassed me and kept me "in line" as he saw it. We dont always agree. His above post is cordial, direct and kind. I do need to step away. Its not because of what fatty said, but what he said did make me realize that I was about type a response about a silly cartoon game, when I have all of this stuff going on. I dont need to be playing right now. That is why I am stepping away.

XD

@ The Pernicious Carbuncles
Please check your emails there is a message from Supra in there for you !

@ All
Give me (I hope) 24 hours and I might have a solution to this but I need to talk to some one first !
I will post once I hear from them !

I also want to remind every one one very important thing about matches ! When the Captains or who ever is in charge that night are talking, you are NOT to be talking ! :(

@ Supra
You will be missed my friend !

@ IS
Do you have screenie of game 2 ? I know the score was 61 HA to 51 IS
I do have game 1 screenie, will post once I see if you have game 2 but scores were 59 HA to 56 IS
I would have to say that was the best match I have seen, let alone took part in since I joined TBML way back in season 3. Thanks guys and once again vgga

@ SSM only
No offence but excuses are for cry babies ! Your just pissed cause you were pwn tonight

You didn't hear us crying when you beat us down the first time ! :(

Last edited: Thursday, October 13, 2005 at 11:11:31 PM

Pale Riders vs The 8th. Wonders;
Game 1 - 62 / 48 - PR win
Game 2 - 67/ 41 - PR win

Games 3 and 4 with the TDR were called off due to lag.

@ Lonewolf,

Losing the game today is the least of my problems. I have been speaking to IM over the last month and I indicated to him that I was applying for a position for a company. I have been employed as their CEO, and yes I am more than happy to send the proof. This will mean that I have responsibilities to undertake, and the next month, I will be travelling a fair bit around Australia.

Unfortunately Thurs 9.30 pm = Fri 11am in Syndey, so I can't take time off to play a game.

I wish everyone the best, and hope the competition ends with IS winning.

SSMe

Congratulations SuperSize Me. Will you be getting better equipment for TT with your pay raise? Check out the new IMAC

Cya soon.

Good luck again Supra. All will be better in time.

@ Fattchick , Godzilla , Bigiron and I were all in Dash Bash waiting for Supra. Then we went to Godzillas server to wait for him because Dash was full and supra couldn't of come into it.Does this help in some way?

Hey everyone...

I have handed the reigns of the league to Napalm. He will do an excellent job and will begin captaining The Carbuncles immediately. Emails will be sent describing this to all captains.

Again, its been a hoot. I will return eventually...

Supra

But I may not give it back. LOL

Be cool! Thanks for bringing me into the league, and bringing me back to the league.

Captains, Please post the backlogged games that need to be played. I am under the impression that there has been a back up of games. I would like to get this resolved and updated as soon as possible.

Last edited: Friday, October 14, 2005 at 8:08:41 AM

Woot Italians to the rescue of the Carbuncles. Yes sir !!

@ The Pernicious Carbuncles
You no longer need to email me please email your new Captain Napalm instead ! Thank you

@ SSM
I wish you all the luck in the world that things go well for you in your new job !

@ Napalm
Let me look through my notes and I will post what HA have for make up games by the end of the day !
Thank you for stepping back into TBM and I wish you luck !

@ Wiz
Are you still going to due the Stats for TBML ? B)

Welcome up the high chair, Napalm. Good to have a commisioner again. Was afraid things were falling apart there. Let's try finishing the league off within the year... XD

As a note aside. It's the FIFTH ANNIVERSARY for TBML and I'm very keen on seeing who gets the trophy of season 5 (insert hint here).

Wth...

Problem? Lay it on me O'nutty! 1. XD

Last edited: Friday, October 14, 2005 at 8:55:04 AM

I only see 2 scores posted out of 6 scheduled - Are there 4 games postponed?

Hi Nuts.

HA didn't play there 9pm game due to Supra's problem and due to no servers :(

@Euros

Game time tomorrow (Saturday) is set for 9:30 am. I had earlier said 9 a.m. But then I realized that would force one of our players to play at 7 a.m., which is just cruel. Rooster has kindly agreed to put a server up for us.

See you on the battlefield

Monkey

There was a bit of confusion
The Wonders played or should I say lagged thru our 9 oclock at 930
PR did a fine job but I must mention the Wonders were pinging at over 200
This is not good if you're not used to it.
(ah dasher I miss your servers - oh! And u 2 of course lol)
The first weeks game with the Carbuncles was a no show which we agreed to reschedule
but haven't played yet...
Hope you're takin' notes Nap hehe!

Those Iron Sloth guys... I like their style. Go Sloths!

LC50

@ LC50,

Long time no here... Serial Killa here... Believe it or not I play full-time heavy now. Due to commitments outside of TT I have to quit the league... Maybe if you are interested you can replace me??

SSMe -

@ Iron Sloths. I really love your map. It's a little bit similar to our home field. Funny thing, from one arrow you can fly towards the ammo gate, then hit the arrow right next to the gate so that you make a U-turn and go through the gate. Vey funny. Although you have to be a light tank in order to do it...

Btw, very good game yesterday!

@ Napalm & All Captains
Hells Angels Schedule of make ups matches & games :(

Well thats what Hells Angels has for Make Up Games & Matches

@ Wiz or Stan
Can we do Thurs night or do we need to schedule for the weekend ? If on weekend what day ? B)

Eurorage vs Ironsloth
15 Oct 2005
Map : sloth land

Game 1 : 52 - 42 Euro wins
Game 2 : 70 - 60 Euro wins

Good and interresting game.

I have to give the Euros credit. They really are a very good team. It's no accident they are in first place.

IronSloth played pretty well, I thought, but we couldn't match the Euros. They're very organized and well co-ordinated, and they seemed to know our map better than we did. One minute they'd all be in front of us, and a split second later two of them would be behind us shooting us in the ass. They also seem to have a system of using one team member as bait. Very sneaky. XD

Kudos on putting together a helluva team, Stan. You guys are definitely the team to beat.

@ IM. Thanks for those nice words. But let me tell you; we were VERY afraid of you during the whole game. And when we came in there, before the game started and all of those heavies surrounded us, lol... I can only quote Taffy's comment there, "I'm afraid". :S XD

Also, you're a darn good team too, if I may. See, playing against you is like running loose on a street while being hunted by CIA snipers (although a bit over weighted) in the Movie, 'Heat', for example. Not an easy run and if you relax for one second, you're history. I really loved the game yesterday, looking forward meeting you again.

@ All. I'm hoping that we can for once play with full teams, i.e. 5 on 5. Still, we haven't done that and I'm confused why this league is suddenly this much plagued by absence.

The league has started with some turbulence in many respects, with Dash leaving, unplayed games, cliff diving issues, Supra leaving, commisioner change, and whatnot. It can't get any worse than what we've already experienced now. So let's all help each other out and collaborate. I want full 5 on 5 games. And if captains have trouble fielding a full team during games, by all means, replace the idlers. Or at least add some more guys from the reserve pool. And to all slackers, when joining something, you should either make sure that you fulfill your commitment, or either not join in the first place. Get your boots back in there and kick some major tank butt.

@lonewolf
Preferably on weekend. Besides it gives us a couple days more to get a server going. As for time and day, we give you the choice.
8AM - 4PM EST sat or sun.

I'm with the Swede Wiz! %)

Wiz's point about fulfilling your commitment to the team is right on the money. XO It is important for everyone to show up and keep in contact with the team leader if the leagues are to run properly. If you have signed up for the league and have not been showing up, shame shame. Maybe the captains could keep track of their most reliable players so in the future we can have a solid core for the next TBML, if there is one. We may need fewer teams.

As far as dash and supra are concerned they both have contributed a lot to the leagues and TT community and it may not be fair to let them have a pass on dropping out of the league, but that is the way it goes. I have been on teams with them both and I know they must have important reasons for dropping. Good luck to them both I say! XD

Congratulation to SSM on the CEO job, it is great to see someone make it ahead in life! XD

If it all possible you should show up on league night to support your team, win or loose. If something comes up let your captain know you can not make it so he/she can use the reserve pool to add team members.

Bel's 2 cents

Header updated with some information.

Stan, Wiz, If you need a server let me know I can certainly provide you with one.

It looks like you have outstanding games with the 8^th Wonder and Hells Angels. Can you get them both scheduled and played over the wekend?

Please let me know. Thx.
