10:38 PM - skelalton: so I've got some questions regarding our roster
10:38 PM - skelalton: when you've got time
10:41 PM - skelalton: I get that as far as 'roster limits' go this is somewhat uncharted waters
10:41 PM - skelalton: so what's the limit on plat players in gold, furthermore plat placement players in gold?
10:42 PM - skelalton: I know you said you wanted all three unrostered, but are we just banned from rostering those 3 players until the end of time?
10:43 PM - skelalton: there's gotta be some kind of equivalence here regarding picking up those players.
10:43 PM - skelalton: Zoey and syath both placed in plat, so if we were to drop them would be able to roster two other players that placed?
10:43 PM - skelalton: I'm not really sure where the limits are.
6:44 AM - UGC Kumori is now Offline.
11:18 AM - Your state is set to Offline.
11:18 AM - Lost connection to Steam, will rejoin chat automatically when connection regained.
11:18 AM - Connected again and rejoined chat.
2:50 PM - UGC Kumori is now Offline.
3:06 PM - Lost connection to Steam, will rejoin chat automatically when connection regained.
3:06 PM - Connected again and rejoined chat.
4:41 PM - skelalton has changed their name to skelalton lfs 930.
5:07 PM - UGC Kumori is now Online.
6:16 PM - UGC Kumori: Your team currently has 13 players with established Platinum experience, is that not enough? Are you asking if you may have eerie, deaft and barycenter rostered again?
6:16 PM - UGC Kumori: Your roster became ridiculous and adding those 3 broke water.
6:17 PM - skelalton lfs 930: I'm pretty syath is leaving for another team; I'm asking if we can roster eerie in his place.
6:17 PM - UGC Kumori: If Platinum wasn't a Round Robin, your team would have been shoved into Platinum right after that, if not earlier.
6:18 PM - UGC Kumori: Was Syath your Scout?
6:18 PM - skelalton lfs 930: Yeah
6:18 PM - UGC Kumori: Who's going to scoot for you then?
6:19 PM - skelalton lfs 930: Probably either Jaaay or triiiple
6:19 PM - skelalton lfs 930: we might move to kai to scout and pick up someone on engi.
6:19 PM - UGC Kumori: Okay, and you haven't been able to find a Hoovy?
6:22 PM - skelalton lfs 930: We've got a couple candidates lined up if we couldn't roster him.
6:24 PM - skelalton lfs 930: Teapot and Bonesaw mainly.
6:26 PM - UGC Kumori: Teapot and Bonesaw are fine for Heavy. Just because Syath leaves doesn't mean you may add another Platinum player in his place because you already have too many. Your roster is at the point where you can't 1/1 Platinum players anymore.
6:27 PM - UGC Kumori: I have also spoken to your division admin and he is also strong on the matter.
6:31 PM - skelalton lfs 930: Well that's what I'm asking; what are the limits here?
6:31 PM - skelalton lfs 930: if we're not able to 1/1, is it 2/1? 3/1?
6:35 PM - skelalton lfs 930: You say our roster is above what's allowed and I'm asking what the limit is.
6:38 PM - UGC Kumori: Just no more Platinum players, you can do whatever math you want. These restrictions we are placing on you are unique to your team and not in the rules. You have a unique situation.
6:40 PM - UGC Kumori: You're in Gold with a roster that's so incredibly experienced in Platinum, even at Week 1. Your division manager has told me more than once already your team ought to have been in Platinum, not Gold.
6:41 PM - skelalton lfs 930: Who are the players on our roster without plat experience? I'm guessing trapster, deathgripsvevo, and hostilehamster.
6:41 PM - UGC Kumori: Correct.
6:42 PM - skelalton lfs 930: deathgripsvevo is an alt of https://www.ugcleague.com/players_page.cfm?player_id=76561197995212443, btw
6:42 PM - skelalton lfs 930: if you didn't know
6:43 PM - skelalton lfs 930: er
6:43 PM - skelalton lfs 930: that link has a period in it
6:43 PM - skelalton lfs 930: https://www.ugcleague.com/players_page.cfm?player_id=76561197995212443
6:44 PM - skelalton lfs 930: So in the scenario where we drop Will, Sleep, Zoey, g., mojoe, caboose, and DayNife, we'd still have roster limitations?
6:45 PM - UGC Kumori: And then roster who?
6:46 PM - skelalton lfs 930: Probably triiiple and either eerie or joe.
6:49 PM - skelalton lfs 930 has changed their name to skelalton.
6:54 PM - skelalton: Actually triiiple can't main this week, so depending on how scrims go we've got flexibility as far as moving people around
6:54 PM - UGC Kumori: Joe is going to Soldier, right?
6:55 PM - skelalton: He'd probably be on Scout or Sniper now, we're going to have Jaaay play soldier
6:55 PM - UGC Kumori: If you have eerie he'd be Heavy?
6:55 PM - skelalton: yes.
6:56 PM - skelalton: As it stands we're currently missing a scout, heavy, and sniper
6:56 PM - UGC Kumori: I thought Joe made an appeal to play Soldier.
6:57 PM - skelalton: zoey said he'll play this week but after we brought up replacing him with bary the first time around he doesn't feel like he deserves the spot, so I can't blame him for wanting to leave after that, but he likely won't play the rest of the season
6:57 PM - skelalton: Joe made the appeal to play soldier before syath left and we picked up Jaaay
6:57 PM - UGC Kumori: Alright, here are the conditions.
6:58 PM - skelalton: I picked up Jay because I was under the impression that we wouldn't likely be rostering joe and he can also play scout if necessary.
6:58 PM - UGC Kumori: You remove these players, as you have mentioned prior: "Will, Sleep, Zoey, g., mojoe, caboose, and DayNife"
6:58 PM - UGC Kumori: And then you can have Joe on Scout /OR/ eerie on Heavy, and no barycenter.
7:14 PM - UGC Kumori: Let me know what you've decided.
7:18 PM - skelalton: I don't think I'm gonna be able to take you up on that
7:19 PM - skelalton: If we moved Kai to scout, kept jay on soldier, rostered teapot or bonesaw on heavy, and picked up Ice on engi, would we be fine to do all of that?
7:19 PM - skelalton: http://www.ugcleague.com/team_page.cfm?clan_id=19900
7:19 PM - skelalton: this ice
7:20 PM - skelalton: or would ice be considered platinum because DT got 3 wins last season?
7:20 PM - UGC Kumori: You gave me a team page.
7:20 PM - skelalton: whoops
7:20 PM - skelalton: http://www.ugcleague.com/players_page.cfm?player_id=76561198059892777
7:21 PM - UGC Kumori: Alright, and then you would be fine not having eerie/joe?
7:22 PM - skelalton: If I've got to dump almost half the roster for one of them, then I guess I'd have to deal with it.
7:23 PM - UGC Kumori: Kai on Scout, Jay on Solly, Teaport or Bonesaw on Hoovy and picking up Ice to Engie is fine. But no rostering Joe or eerie or barycenter.
7:25 PM - UGC Kumori: I am going to run through your request with your division manager and get him up to speed.
7:27 PM - UGC Kumori: Are all these players subs? "Will, Sleep, Zoey, g., mojoe, caboose, and DayNife"
7:28 PM - skelalton: Will and Sleep haven't actively played since s15
7:28 PM - skelalton: sleep played two weeks of s17
7:28 PM - skelalton: zoey's maining this week, beyond this week I'm not certain but I don't believe he's staying
7:29 PM - skelalton: caboose was maining until this week, and if the team feels that teapot and bonesaw would be both sizable downgrades he'd probably stay on main
7:29 PM - skelalton: g, mojoe, and daynife are subs.
7:31 PM - UGC Kumori: Alright, these changes sound sensible.
7:32 PM - UGC Kumori: But if we feel any more heat down the line with your roster, there will be problems.
7:37 PM - skelalton: My biggest concerns at the moment are that I'm not 100% on ice since he's been asking to play on door the past week but he's been afk most of today
7:37 PM - skelalton: at this point though if he's not playing we'll probably move Jay to Scout and put spec back on soldier
7:37 PM - skelalton: so everything is solved internally
7:38 PM - skelalton: I'm almost certain we'll need to roster a new sniper before the week 6 match but I'll it by you when that comes.
