Putting "retired" or "lost interest" without any reason is not really fair. Each person has a reason for retiring or losing interest, the list above assumes there is absolutely nothing that factors into people retiring or losing interest, as if they just randomly decide to not play anymore or randomly lose all interest. For example, ba55ist would technically fit under the "retired" or "lost interest" category, but he retired/lost interest because of poor league structure.

Well said. I just wanted to hear people's honest thoughts. Waste of time or not, I'm curious to hear what people really think.

You guys are seriously acting like you don't know what hokkee had to say? I can understand aqualizard; he wasn't around.
Hokkee was the biggest advocate for kicking out slackers, shortening seasons and having less coaches to improve the flow of the seasons and keep the interest up. He also was a fan of real checkpoints. You guys know this and I'm not even sure why I just typed this.
How I think he's right.... well, it's not rocket science. The slackers were never punished, the seasons were always too long and they had too many coaches. There was no flow in them because they were too long, and as a result the interest levels diminished.

Hokkee offered many constructive criticisms. Your memory serves you very wrong.
-
I want your honest thoughts on how you think the community would look today had we taken hokkee's advice. I personally think we would be better off. Hokkee always had great suggestions, but he was always ridiculed, even by the moderators. When I look back it at, everything he said turned out to be true.

You guys should have confidence in your game. You won't win if you think you are going to lose.
-
Well, who are they? Can you answer that for me? Probably not.
-
The B guys should win. It's not about the A players being good, it's about the B players being good enough. It's a fun little challenge, but I really don't see the A guys winning a lot of games. A good portion of the success of the A players comes from being able to successfully exploit the attributes of the top players and not through true fundamentals.
I could be wrong, but I just don't see someone like myself being able to win.

Klima is bugged at 3/2 awareness. 3/2 and 2/3 actually act similar to 5/3 and 3/5.
More awareness = better pass reception. I'm not sure if this is total awareness or offensive, but at least one of them is the main factor in pass reception.
I also believe the higher the defensive awareness, the easier it is to knock the puck off of your opponent's stick just by putting their stick blade against it (without pressing any buttons). This I'm not 100% sure of, but there was something (I can't remember) that made me think it's the case.
-
Who are the other four guys? They're listed as if they are well-known community members.
-
Icestorm would have gotten his games in but he left for too many days. Same thing happened to CBK. Maybe you can do that in Classic (see mr. Bud of the Year, AJ) and walk all over the league and the wishes of the commissioner, but not here

pretty much sums up my frustration. If you're going to be so strict in regular season why let up so much in playoffs? Especially when a couple of the playoff guys have notoriously delayed playoffs regularly.
I accept getting booted, just sucks seeing a 180 done immediately when playoffs start.
Nothing suggests that I'm not strict. It's clearly implied that anyone who delays the playoffs will be kicked out. How does that come off as letting up?
You fail to understand that with the exception of the finals, delayed playoffs are 100% correlated with having no quick deadlines. You don't know how long it will take for me to impose the deadline.
Why not trust me with the trigger? If you guys plan to play seconds before the deadline, don't worry. I'll give a heads up. Otherwise, it shouldn't matter.

AJ was refusing to play me. I would boot someone like that without a doubt.
When I become annoyed, I will post a date, and whoever is responsible for the series not getting played will get a boot.
-
Unfortunately, you went on vacation for a week. You were unable to play all your games because you decided to go out of town.
-
The idea behind it is that no matter how long you make the season length, people are still going to tinker around the deadlines. So I took an estimate on the shortest amount of time possible for 100% completion. It's not a "rush", it's an attempt to minimize the period in which many coaches purposely avoid playing. Had the season been two or three months, I believe there is a good chance the season looks the exact same.
When Icestorm ran his GDL seasons, they were 70% longer than the Plabax League but 35% of the coaches didn't hit 90% of their games.
Playoffs can go smoothly without deadlines but sometimes there are a few guys who cause a huge delay. Those are the guys that will most likely bother me if I sense a delay coming, and those are the guys I will have no problem forfeiting. And as aqualizard stated, all coaches who decided to not play their season games on time have already been removed.

1. kingraph vs. lowest wild card seed
2. Depch vs. second lowest wild card seed
3. Plabax vs. 6. HABS
4. Uncle Seth vs. 5. brutus

7. zeppelin55 vs. 10 jackandjose
8. TexasPachyderm vs. 9 Lupz27
There is no hard deadline for playoff rounds, but if I become bothered I will make one. There won't be a playoff ROM as the one we used during the regular season has 99min OT. Also, we will reseed.

It's Kaillera, not anyone's internet. Nobody lags on SNES, and nobody lags on Kega Fusion. I'm sure nobody in the community has slow internet either. It's 2017.
There just isn't a way for everyone to play lagless GENS.

If you can't even take out Freydey you have no business taking me out easily.. he's a clear step below me.

You must have been dreaming! Did you beat me as easy as you beat Freydey in your dreams?

Premium Priceless Princess Plabax go run your league.
You are 48 hours late for assigning penalties for this checkpoint.
What are you doing taking a shower?
Up next he will rage quit his own league because he can't win.
Unbelievable!
The deadline for assigning my penalties was midnight, so no I was not 48 hours late, in fact, I was technically early.
You know you love me. You are constantly reading my threads, PMing me asking to join my league, PMing me asking me how to enable B checks with no penalties for you, etc. I hope you will be there to congratulate me on my league title!

Your talking about the guy who has beat you in the last 2 playoff series you guys played in?
When was the last time you went through Raph to win a title? Blitz? He went through you to win GDL 14. Your doing an awful lot of bashing against a guy who has beaten you in classic playoffs, and for a GDL championship the last 2 times you guys tangled in meaningful games (insert Plabs CB excuse here).
It's like Tyson Gay, the guy who beat Usain Bolt in a race ONCE in his life (while on steroids) saying that he's a better runner than Usain Bolt even after the 2016 Olympics where he didn't qualify for the finals because Usain Bolt didn't beat him in the 100m final. What a joke. I am the current GDL champion.
Just listen and hear me out: It makes no sense for Raph to lose to FPB in GDL. The reason he lost to FPB is because he couldn't destroy him with the CB and he couldn't stop JR. Even though Raph was better, he got smoked because he couldn't outcheese FPB. I think Raph cheesed me in GDL 14 the same way FPB cheesed him. Raph says he improved, but two of his best three GDL seasons were GDL 09 and GDL 10, so how has he "improved" if he has done worse in recent seasons? The answer is because it's not about true skill when Raph plays, it's about gimmicks and who can be the cheaper player.
I'm saying that, since none of the cheese is present in Blitz, the results are a better indicator of skill. Raph would beat FPB in Blitz, but I do not think he would beat me. It's a very fair argument to make. Me saying Raph is not as good as his GDL14 results suggests is not bashing. It's the truth. It's the same case for AJ in GDL16 too, his results were clearly inflated with his cheesy CB check strategy.

They will be deleted / not counted. It should also be 26 games!

What if the community had listened to hokkee?
in NHL'94 Community
Posted
Also, many newcomers joined and left because the structure of not just the leagues, but the community (or the websites) were poor in general. I'm sure a lot of noobs were wondering why they were wasting their time in the classic league.
For instance, I remember losing interest in my first two classic seasons because the league was very unorganized. During my first two seasons, I forgot I actually was in the league. That's how little care there was. Each time I would go on, nobody would be around to play, the website didn't have any rules, the checkpoints weren't followed, etc.
I know I can't be the ONLY one in this boat, there are easily over 50 people who left due to the same thing. In my final season of GENS-C, the #1 seed (who was even as good as me) never showed up for the playoffs. He simply forgot about the league because he probably felt it was a joke. Either that, or he died/suffered a serious injury, which I don't believe is the case because his act wasn't uncommon.
The guys I would talk and play with in GENS C (outside of Mike Alonzi) never came back. My AIM list is littered with HUNDREDS of noobs who were in the community for fewer than a season. Take a look at your AIM list, and ask yourselves how many people you can actually remember.
I recruited around 15-20 people to the site, ALL are gone. All left mid-season, never felt the league was serious. The only one to stay for multiple years was methodm3n, and he never really even played much.
Halifax, the admin of the forum and commissioner of the Classic League, can't even play 40% of his games. 19GP in classic, little games the season before that, 0GP in SDL.. There is a connection.
