Players might find themselves online at the same time but can't even play cause there are no "official esoc casters" or smth. It's just too much of a hassle.
You shouldn't really give all the blame to the players when the organisation system simply doesn't work. Always delays and such.
It's not demanded that the games get casted at all. The casters are organised according to the time which players schedule. If no casters are available the players are notified and politely asked if they can reschedule. If not then thats perfectly fine. Now if you or anyone else has a complaint, might i suggest a seperate thread?
1) This thread will most likely be locked due to immaturity and everyone derailing it, me included. This is for Kaiser and Diarouga to schedule. Failure to find time is rediculous when this thread has been open for so long and its obvious that is was going to be Diarouga vs Kaiser from the moment it was opened (sorry forjustice).
2) Its not useful for any staff if people say, "lel this sux im out fuk u steff" or, "wow this scheduling system sucks and my posts get deleted". Provide proper feedback and maybe people will take you more seriously. The current scheduling system is the best the staff can come up with and works well. If you want it to improve then you need to tell the staff what to work on - or nothing will happen.
3) If Kaiser or any player wants to quit no one is stopping you. It's not as if you would have won vs Diarouga anyway.
4) One-weekend tournaments for a RO64 tournament. Yes sure perfect idea
why didn't anyone think of that. The players are given a large amount of time to play.
5) If you think its disrespect towards the players is wrong when Diarouga and Kaiser live in the same country - same timezone and have had a very long time to set aside one evening for a 2 hour game. It's ridiculous. It's past the deadline. Maybe if these two took scheduling seriously then it would be ok. You don't go up to the lecturer on an assignment and say, "can i get more time i was busy", after the due date. Nope, you get a fail.
6) For the early round casting on different channels that was not authorised by ESOC nor endorsed. They were promptly told off and I hope it never happens again. Casting on another channel means we don't have as much editing capacity as we would on the ESOC channel - we can't readily upload to youtube for example. This limits the amount of people who can see the games as we have a large YouTube base as well. (Speaking as a previous staff member and may not be current views)
Now please let this be the last off-topic post - make a new thread if you would like to tall about it. If you are complaining about scheduling but interrupting the scheduling threads you are letting yourself get in the way of scheduling - a bit counterproductive don't you think?
