    I'd say it was enjoyable on the whole.

    I think it was a very good idea to attempt to recruit coms before the event. We didn't have a tremendous amount of organization, BUT I don't recall any times where one team was scrambling for a com. No clear com st the beginning is a sure fire way to ruin the match and that didn't happen. So I call it a partial success on that front.

    Overall, aside from that shitty streets of fire match (it's in the winner's best interest to painstakingly blockade the losing team instead of actually trying to win, ugh), it was a successful event.

    I saw that.
    But the bridge should be wide enough for you to turn, maybe you lost your CV driver's license.

    No complaints, I don't know of anything that could be done better other than getting nextmap to function. As spartacus said, very enjoyable and could easily be called a success.

    Even the prepug palmbay was amazing, I was so happy (in between spike's constant grumbling unintelligibly into his mic) to experience a real game again. Seriously, there is a certain feel to that kind of empires match that you won't really find anywhere else.

    I will respond with a small paraphrase of the next sentence in your reply:

    It was not. I tried for a good two minutes. Though you may be right about me losing my CV driver's license.

    I'd say keep the pre-selected commanders thing going, once people get used to it it's going to work much better than it did this time.

    That's a bit of a maybe. Bigteef commanded palm and streets back to back and didn't really want to command another map the entire time. I think someone else was also not liking the idea of commanding another map after just doing it once or twice. Misfire didn't show til like the fifth map, and paradox also joined real late. Misfire was technically a sub anyway, but I kinda wasn't expecting him to show up like 2 hours later or something. I do thank Spike and Bigteef for both showing up on time and commanding, the two people who signed up for it.

    I admit, this pug went on for like 4 hoursish, not including that prepug palmbay. I think I only expected to get through like 4 maps during a pug, so you know 3 hours at most.(assuming its not a slaughtered grindfest.)

    Alright, I'll do the commander thing again. I just gotta be prepared to command every round if I have to. Also wondering if I can sneak commandergrad in somehow. People say they hate it, but every time I played it during a pug they always go really well.

    I don't have to take it any further, he knows what he did and so does everyone else.

    I suggest he checks himself before he rekts himself or he could be permantly banned from these events.
    Because people play in these pugs so they dont have to deal with pubber bullshit.

    Me being the professional I am, it would be a deterrent for me to go back on my word.
    Being punctual should be a required quaility commanders should have.

    People will learn to only sign up for commanding if they can actually make it, just give it time. Either that or they'll sign up for the backup list, like Misfire ;)

    Page 2 is when you signed up to do it.

    Try page 9, and you didn't even explicitly say you weren't going to do it. You just kind of said 'screw you guys.'

    lol okay, then it's on page 3. And even then, that means nothing because it's the same distance in there's just more per page, and it becomes harder to find.
