Unironically if you are Spanish Inquisition you should never lead a team again. Its unacceptable and you are objectively bad at your job if you construct teams for 9 seasons in a row without placing. If you are ass, that sucks for you - the three good players that you roped onto your team should take over, and you cut yourself. If half the team has no potential at all, cut them too. Its not that hard. No one has been as consistently unsuccessful as you in literal years.

tried to make a team but other commitments got in the way

i placed in old advanced s6

have been practicing more than ever lately. would like to play for a playoffs ch team or an invite quals team if possible, but mostly just looking for a good environment to sweat and improve in

would also offclass scout/soldier/heavy in adv or something if your team is fun

feel free to add me or msg me at dlphn#0001

thanks

the scorch and the darwin’s are now banned and their results from the poll have been released, but i remember voting on like 8 different potential weapon bans

i imagine all the other bans came back with a majority against, but i would be curious to see the results anyway. does rgl plan to release them?

@vibeisveryo votes have no “utility” the same way that making a post has no “utility,” there’s no technical reason to do it. reddit’s method of pushing low-point posts into obscurity is a terrible choice for promoting discussion, which is why reddit is a joke of a platform where most users only ever see the inoffensive posts that make Very Agreeable Points (thanks for the gold kind stranger!)

the “utility” of votes is that they allow players with opinions that have already been stated in a thread to contribute to the discussion by voicing approval (or disapproval)

e: since at least one (exactly one) admin had a hard time picking which teams to put in advanced last season i will take time out of my busy day to do it for the greater good:

• main move up team
• impostors
• 930
• yate team
• townze team
• sunnyy team
• maxie team
• tkk or run adv quals

if no one from the admin team is willing to dm the other tls and tell them they’re being placed in main i am willing to do it for them as a neutral third party, just let me know

holy shit u are ass mate blame yourself or your team not the game

@Wize

hi wize! i see that you are insulting me, but you also seem to be far too much of a bitch to do it without talking like a passive aggressive middle-aged trophy wife speaking to a target customer service rep. at the risk of me being silenced and banned since mothership’s forums are for “constructive conversation” only, i will insult you without any sugarcoating.

judging from this thread alone, you are a shortsighted, powertripping tool and a willmatic lackey as opposed to a competent, likeable highlander admin. you lack the skill, high-level experience, or highlander knowledge to make a well-informed judgement for yourself and are instead doing mindless damage control for the worst highlander head admin in rgl history.

the reason i mock you and everyone else that continues to type in this thread is because the matter of swiss vs round robin advanced has been discussed to death already, and the high level highlander community has consistently been in favor of having the second highest division be locked to an 8-team round robin. of course, i don’t blame you for not knowing this… judging from your post history and 10 pages of logs, you don’t spend very much time practicing team fortress, since you’re spending so much energy trying to build up some clout in RGL.gg Official Discord #staff-discussions with Flare and Quee Quee. i’ll link a few of those threads to give you a bit of a history lesson, although some of those threads were lost to the old forums (no worries if you’ve never heard of those either!)

you’ll notice that this issue has not only been discussed for many seasons but has actually been fairly lopsided in favor of round robin… so why is it still an issue? well, this issue was actually more or less “solved” after season 7, when a main moveup team with two forfeit wins that had played almost exclusively low advanced teams during the season famously made advanced playoffs over a team that had played the top teams all season and been in close competition with the other playoff contenders. the “solution” was to introduce a new division above advanced that would be locked to 8 teams, to allow for much stronger competition near the top of highlander. micahlele and johhnyfromcali, the head admin and challenger admin at the time, did a great job of handling the new division, and all was well with the round robin issue.

the first season that both micahlele and johhny were gone, challenger vanished, replaced with an absolutely terrible 14 team swiss format advanced division where only the top two teams had any meaningful competition. most people believe that this decision was SOLELY brought on by willmatic’s own ego, as the advanced admin at the time had internally pushed to continue round robin, (which the community voted in a landslide victory in favor of) however, it came out that willmatic and his yes men had almost single-handedly made the decision to expand the division. if he hadn’t done this, his team (which died week 4) would have been moved down to main. why in the world would he have opted to do something so obviously against the community’s wishes unless he had 1) a strong argument in favor of swiss (such a thing does not publicly exist) or 2) another strong motive that would influence his decisionmaking (moving down after many seasons of being hardstuck)?

additionally, why has NOTHING changed after constant discussion in favor of rr season after season? why has the admin team chosen to die on this hill?

there is no reason you should be supporting your head admin’s terrible decisionmaking abilities. there is a reason that well liked and highly-skilled admins (micahlele, joey lemons, johhnyfromcali) all strongly support round robin, while less competent admins (willmatic, ire, you apparently) are comfortable plugging their ears and fighting the wishes of the players they volunteer their time for

wize: you seem to actually care about making the game and the mode better, which is admirable. my goal is not to be another detractor that whittles your passion into burnout. i care strongly about this issue as i truly see it to be a major factor in healthy competition in highlander, and it frustrates me to see more admins that back up poor decisionmaking instead of making a difference that i, and many other players, would like to see. please reconsider your viewpoint and internally push for rr, and better decisionmaking as a whole.

willmatic: consider this an open letter, because i know you’re reading this. resign.

to everyone else: discussing round robin should be considered pointless, as willmatic and his lackeys will never allow it. this season of advanced would be so competitive if it was round robin, but instead there are 3 or 4 dogshittington teams clogging up the div. it’s sad to see, but all we can do is wait the terrible leadership out. until then, we’re stuck running in circles.

feel free to respond if you want, but i won’t be replying to this thread again. not because i’m better than anyone here or too good for it (im most certainly not), but because i will practice as i preach and will only push for rr adv once hl has a competent head admin once again.

ps. my favorite book is asimov’s foundation and empire, followed by herbert’s dune. i’m nearly finished with nick bostrom’s superintelligence, and once i’m done with that i’m going to start on the copy of infinite jest that i recieved this last christmas.

pps. stop signing your posts like a gamefaqs thread. it makes you look like an even bigger tool.

technomo is fantastic. Just needs to work on communication, aim, movement, positioning, map awareness, uber tracking, uber exchanges, focusing targets, crosshair placement, team coordination, general gamesense, mental, and getting frags.

bump, now that ive officially been passed up or rejected by every invite team id like to announce that i will play literally any class for literally any team in advanced as long as it’s not medic and there are no weird racists on the roster

ethan#0243 !!!

i mean that all divisions past like im should be paid like 6s is

unchained beast heavy

would subs have to pay up? also would this mean there would be ringer fees like there are in 6s?

im in support of having all hl be paid the same way 6s is but fees past the invite team fee are stupid if there’s no prizepool

@Rebel get backpacked
