RTS-League: Clan Leagues for Strategy Gamers

Hey,

All right, thanks for the info, sorry that the game didn't go smoothly - we'll have a look at this. Please supply us with the recorded game of the BF start - you can upload it here through the system.

In the meantime, IIDA, could you please tell us what went wrong on your side? Thanks

Double clan has never been a break of rules in RTSL. There are examples in almost all teams participating this season. What is not allowed is playing same season in more than one team, and this is not the case. We wont play the BF, as u failed to restore the game 3+ times. And suddenly 30+ players are 200 Players?? We dont want reschedule, we waited one hour for you and u with that problems all time. Rules are very clear


If the game cannot be restored due to technical reasons, then the game is automatically lost by the clan with the technical difficulties.

Slamm again taking part inn a team that is not his team. Tought this was about real clans with players that are real members of each team.

Also is agaist smurfing rule  cause Bullet didnt play on his main account. ( Because there he has another Tag)

We could have made an account [IIDA] Slam then.

U can say all u want instead of reading the rules, but the admins will look only at rules.

BUT why can
for example Bullet play for NHN but hes also in the clan RFR?

Hello,

As the clan operator for RFR I want to be clear that Bullet has told us in advance, before the season started, that he will not be playing with RFR this season, instead he will be playing for NHN.

As you can see by watching the games RFR has played this season, Bullet has never participated.

Br,
Darkly

yeah but this was exactly the reason why slam is not allowed to play in our team because he is in team tyrant. So why is there this double standard that some players can and others not?

well slam isnt playing in rts for tyrants but still you started complaining and now ur doing the same urself, so why did you even complain about slam playing for us? so sad of you guys. but well it seems its okey if its for ur ownclan but not for any other. and i wanne say the rules say

"All players must play in Voobly and IP games under their Main Nickname, indicated in the Player-List. If, when asked, a clan refuses to swap out an ineligible player, and the games are not played as a result, that clan will receive a Miss (see below, Rule 8.2).

    A Main Nickname is a name under which the player is primarily known. Clearly recognized derivatives of the Main Nickname (minor variations such as an alternate spelling or a username with additional/different underscores) are also eligible for use by the same player. Only the Main Nickname needs to be registered on the Player-List.
    A player may not hide his identity by playing on an unknown secondary nickname, even if that secondary nickname is on the Player-List."

so you broke the rules, maybe other clans aswell but they didnt play vs us so we cant complain about that. so thats why we didnt make a iida slam acc and play by the rules what you guys clearcly didnt do. and on top of that you are going to ask for auto against a team that play by the rules. when you guys playing whit a smurf

Thanks everyone for the accounts of this matter and also the added drama.

Let's take things one by one:

The game on Black Forest is an unfortunate event that was quite clearly out of IIDA's power to influence - evidence to that is on Memb's stream of the match, King_Marv's computer simply refused to cooperate - and we're sorry both clans had to go through such an experience. While that doesn't absolve them of being responsible for it, NHN's attitude during this whole thing has been rather disappointing and certainly not in any vicinity of the fair play spirit and fun RTS League should be about.

Regarding the appealed to rule, the intent of the rule is to handle situations where the game cannot in any way be restored and a significant portion of it has already been played out, in other words to discourage (and penalise) foul play, which is clearly not the case here - the game ended at a point where the action hasn't even really started yet, so no one was winning in any way, and on top of that, the cause for not restoring wasn't corruption of the save file, but difficulties to even get to that restore due to outside forces - provided King_Marv can fix his computer, the game is therefore restorable just fine.

Anyone can suffer such highly unusual and unfortunate circumstances such as IIDA here, and equally everyone would like to think their opponents would, in a competition such as RTS League based on fun and fair play, and not just here, anywhere, in any other competition, be forthcoming and understanding to their plights, as it could really happen to anyone. But even if we put this attitude aside, there is no reason to award an Admin Win in this situation, as the game can and should be restored after a reschedule for another date, and nobody was in any way winning at the time of the save.

Provided then King_Marv is able to fix his computer, please reschedule for restoring the Black Forest game to finish it in full. (NHN or IIDA, please keep and get us the recorded game, as Forever, thanks for the effort, but the files you sent are unfortunately not the game in question )

The second issue are the players, smurfs, Main Nicks, etc. here - first and foremost players are expected to be real members of the clans they play for or they should have a very strong reason to play for the clan - asking someone "will you play with us this season?" is certainly not enough, the same as simply adding someone to your Voobly roster for the season is equally not enough - that is not becoming a real clan member.

On the case of BuLLeT here, if he is still an RFR member as his main clan, we would be very curious as to his reasons for playing with NHN. We assumed he legitimately switched clans and abandoned RFR for NHN - became a full NHN member (not just for this season, but long-term) - if not, and he doesn't have other very good reasons why to play with NHN, then he would be a Guest Player, and that is strictly forbidden. Do not mistake having nicks in two clans and being a real member of two clans - the former is in certain cases acceptable as simply unfortunately players do have smurf accounts all across the place, that's the reality of things, but true allegiance to a clan is something altogether different, and comes under much more scrunity with us as a real clan competition, not random team competition - simply players have to have a good reason why to play with a certain clan.

We would then ask NHN (and potentially even RFR) to explain further on BuLLeT's participation this season to clear things up. (And this applies also to any other such players you might have - you have engaged in some interesting player moves in the last weeks around RTS League - make sure you actually do follow the rules as they are meant, explained above.)

As far as used nicks go, the Main Nick rule is pretty straightforward - actual main nick the player considers his "first and foremost" is strongly preferred, but a nick clearly signalling who the player is, ie is not hiding identity, is also acceptable, as it allows everyone to know who it is, which is the purpose of the rule. For example on the case of mentioned TaToH, it's common knowledge he equally, lately maybe even more often, plays on Barney-Stinson-like nicks, therefore it is an acceptable nick for him to play on. We understand players may just want to change their names at times as their preferences change, in such a case it's advisable to mention the previous, well-known, nick in parantheses after the current nick in the RTSL Player-List to clear things up (as Stsn did with TaToH in the Clan Leader field).

And Adder, maybe our angry attitude with this has something to do with the false acussations by Memb during his stream against me and Bullet specially.
