^^ Well, we have the numbers to field a full team, but many of our members are.... 'dis-engaged' at the moment, but certainly something as fun and juicy as a Clan-Match should tweak their interest and bring them running back for just such an occasion. A week or two lead time before an event will give us time to get the word out, people to respond, etc. Curious - what game modes / winning methods do you prefer? I'm personally fond of Rush, 3 maps, 2 rounds each (att/def each side once on each map). Scoring can work a few ways: - 1 point for each 'win' either as attacker or defender, which gives you potential scores of 6-0 for one team (if the other lasts that long) or a 3-3 tie. In the case of a tie (very rare), then each M-Com station destroyed as attackers is worth a point, with the most destroyed in total across all 3 maps being the winner. - As above, with only attackers getting a point for each win, resulting in scores ranges of 0-0 to 3-0. Ties can be determined as above. - As above, but with only points awarded for destroyed M-Coms (1 for each) - the side with the most destroyed as attackers wins. 1 additional point for each 'win' as attackers; but it's the total destroyed that counts. Perhaps you guys have something else you prefer? We do have a core of people who like Conquest, so we could certainly do that instead, or even mix some Rush and Conquest together. Oh, and we're talking HC here, correct? (although regular 'softcore' is fine too). Anyway, I have a tendency to ramble on, as my members can tell you, so I'll stop now before I get ahead of myself. Nice to met you guys. - riafomh (Martin) Clan Leader - The Ark www.arkgaming.orgSo 1 point for each win and a point for every mcomm destroyed. What if its a exact tie with wins 3-0 and same amount of mcomms? Another round of another map? Or count to see which team had mvps or what would be final tie? Or just call it a tie then a rematch at a later date?

Actually, each of those above example were separate ways of scoring. Using each M-Com destroyed as a point was for breaking a tie, or it could be used as a separate method of scoring altogether.
I hadn't thought to combine them (1 point for winning the match, plus 1 point for each destroyed) but I suppose that could be an option also.

Sorry, I'm an idiot. I said exactly that right there, didn't I. Well yeah, okay - that's another method for scoring. Is that the one you prefer?

I figured we will have to go by wins of maps first. But keep track of mcomm's incase there's a chance in 3-3 tie. Not sure if every map has same amount of mcomm's? Is there like 8 on all maps?

Negative.
Depending on the map, there may be 3 sets of 2 for a total of 6, or 4 sets = 8, or even 5 sets for a total of 10.
Damavand Peak, for instance (one of my favorites) has 5 zones and 10 M-Comms. Caspian Border on the other hand, which ironically is such a huge map, has only 3 zones and 6 M-Comms.
That method for scoring is a good one, fairly standard I think - each win is a point, and ties (if it happens) are determined by total M-Coms destroyed.
Winning the actual round gets priority this way. Preferred method all around I think.

Hi guys. No new posts here, eh?
Just checking in. Are we still good to go? Have you decided on your map choice yet? We're supposed to reveal these today so both teams can work on them all weekend and next week.
Also, which day and what time are we doing? Same as before? Different day/time?
One request on our end (for either day), would be 2-4 hours later start time than before, in order for someone to make it.

You guys have enough ever for a war? Your battlelog only had like 7 the day I checked before war. You guys need to recruit or add your friends that were suppose to be in it. I'm already checking other clans on battlelog now.

^^ Good point.
There's around 26 on our roster, and a few trialists, and certainly not most of those are (as much as I'd like) active players - and as you can see, even fewer have had the where-with-all to sign up on our Battlelog Platoon. I wouldn't hold too much to that, though - we're using our forums for organizing and staging such things; the Battlelog Platoon is not a representative picture. Although, since you've mentioned it, I've managed to 'file more paperwork', and there's like, 11 or something on there now.
However, truth be told, I'm a bit flummoxed by it myself. I'd spank them if I could, low attendance in our forums and all that - doesn't help much for these kinds of things. We are still short on the numbers on our end, but were planning to fill it with a few Affiliates - assuming of course, that you'd be okay with that sort of thing. It works in your favor, as it only means we'll likely be less cohesive as a team. Our Clan grew out of another Clan, and we have ties with our former Clan (DFA - Death From Above), and we'd like to cull a couple of people from their ranks, if that's okay.
(Sigh) I hope we don't seem too pathetic here, really. I very much want this to happen and work out, as much to generate more activity and interest amongst our members as anything else, and I hope you can help us out with this, and that you're not thinking of backing out.
But perhaps you've got a point, and we're not 'Clan Match Ready'. But I'm hoping we can go ahead and do this event anyway, and that'll help propel us one step closer to getting 'Clan Match Ready'; so I'm hoping you'll help me / us out with this.
You'd have my deep personal gratitude.
Anyway, I was hoping to lock down the time and get your map choice. Ours is Noshahr Canals.

Its hard to pick a time and date now. A ton of members have different schedules now. Besides a bunch of our actives are less active. Our only actives are the newest members. Hard to gauge on future wars as of right now. Besides the battlefield premium was misleading for 2 weeks early access. A few of us are ticked off about that yet. Still have to wait another week for a new map pack. Dice and EA dropped the ball on this game big time. Cant wait to buy a new shooter that's not a part of EA or DICE.

Really?
'Cause often when I jump in with you guys there's a good -6, -8, -10, hell - pretty much a full team of BEER guys all on one side. And this is often mid-week, and I'd think on weekends that would happen quite regularly with your guys.
Okay, so the most 'actives' are FNG's. That's cool. We've a small cadre of them, too - and I'm sure they'd be itchin' to get it on in a Clan Match, freshly uniformed in their new Clan. I'm sure it's same way for your guys.
So it can be 'The Battle of the Newbies', with lots of fresh faces to drive the old veterans in charge nuts trying to coordinate them.
Why don't we just show up, and see what the turnout and the numbers are? A little low for you and little high for us (from last time), and we just might have a couple of balanced teams, no?
Whattdya say there, sir?
Can we take a stab at this?

'The Battle of the Newbies', I like this concept we can use it to both our clans advantages, it can be a weekly proving ground for our players to showcase their skills and weaknesses and we can go from there. Tune up our selections and then have a "serious" match....just my opinion...

I'll have to check back with other admins and coleaders to see whats a good day for all to get this going. I know Sundays we always have over 12 on for a little while. Maybe aim for this weekend and see which day best fits for both parties? During the week it be kinda difficult to say the least players are coming and going in and out of our server. Our numbers are up and down. Some days i'm surprised and other days disappointed.

Ark any news of a war this weekend? I know ya posted earlier in the week. But now we haven't heard if its a go or not. I know last time you guys wanted Sunday. We were thinking this Sunday. That's the day we usually have over 12 on. I guess if we don't get a response by sometime early Saturday then Sunday is a no go. Then maybe try the following weekend?
Maybe Saturday and Sunday? That way more players get involved? Cause soon as we know there's a war. Most likely we will have over 15 on easily. Then the cut down is a tough choice. So maybe two wars gives some a chance to play that missed out on first war? Also a second war would be the rematch.

Well, the same - - have been going on over on our end too, which day, etc. So I basically told them just to be ready to go on EITHER day, whoever can make it - many are ready to do just that. I even put it out there that, who knows? - Maybe we'll end up doing BOTH days. So oddly enough, we're actually thinking along the same lines here. Couple issues: - the time isn't exactly set; probably we'll all be thinking along the lines of the last start time, but on our end adding a couple or even 4 hours later will work better for a few people. - still not sure I will wield a full team - am prepared to pull in a few outsiders, and throw our Trialists in the mix, to fill it out - but I wanted to run that by you guys first, in case that's verbotten to you. But we definitely, absolutely, want to get it on. Whatever it looks like.
