ClanBase allow silent run in NationsCup

29-2-2008 14:29

ClanBase NationsCup XI will soon reach the playoffs. NationsCup supervisors have re-evaluated the silent run rule.

End of the group stage is closing up. Soon the playoffs will be played, but with change in the rules. NationsCup supervisors have re-evaluated the silent run rule. Pre-season NationsCup supervisors decided not to allow silent run in any way (just like WCG). The rule coursed a lot of red cards and forfeits.

Silent run has become a part of this game, disallowing it would only hurt the organizer. Just think back to October 2007. WCG had a superb reputation, but the silent run rule made them look really bad to many. NationsCup realized (even earlier than this statement) that the rule really did not work the way they intended it to work.

The teams reaching the playoffs will be allowed to use silent run, without binding duck to scroll or using scripts. Remaining matches in the group stage will be forced to use the rule disallowing silent run totally.

Alkulima, CS Game supervisor states:

"When group stage changed into playoff stage, it's a good time to judge if the rules we have had in the group stage have been working as they should. Judging from the number of red cards and forfeits we have needed to give because of teams breaking the silent run rule, it doesn't seem that the rule has been working as it should. In addition, majority of the teams/players playing in this cup clearly would like it to be allowed and there's no consistent answer to the question whether it should be considered as bug abuse or not in all the leagues. We didn't make this decision easily, we asked almost every captain in this cup what do they think about that and clear majority wanted the silent run rule to be changed. After considering all these things, we have decided to allow manual silent run for this cup's playoffs as long as it's not done by using a script and duck isn't binded to scroll."

It finally sunk in!

pwned

2008-02-29 17:36

Well at least they keep it, the no silent rule, for the remaining group stage and therefore the upcoming change should not be considered a prejudice for Portugal, honestly. It would be different if they changed it for the remaining matches.

2008-02-29 17:41

I speak for all if I say this; NOOBS

2008-02-29 17:46

1st Portugal is desqualified for using silent run (while other players from Top Countries dont), and then you allow silent run. VERY NICE -.- At least reconsider it for the next year CB, not this one, is not fair imo.

2008-02-29 20:44

not only portugal got a forfeit loss, get informed before you comment ;)

2008-03-01 16:59

CLAN BASE!!!OMFG!!! this is amazing!!anda now abut de desqualified teams??!!!

2008-02-29 21:04

Standing proof that if you whine hard enough and consistently break ambiguous rules, you too can change how things work. At least now there will be some consistency.

2008-02-29 21:20

FFS why now?Then bring back disquallified TEAMS ! ! ! ! !

2008-03-01 00:02

Then the hardworked, non rule-breaking teams have to replay all of their matches? Don't think sooo.O

2008-03-01 04:15

this is good but they should have planed this before

2008-03-01 00:10

Just about time, isn't it?

2008-03-01 05:07

silentrun FTW

2008-03-01 16:19

manual silentrun rox :D

2008-03-01 16:36

This could still upset quite some teams, e.g. Portugal who did not make it through the qualification round due to the silent run rule. Next match in ClanBase NationsCup XI will be Sunday 2th of March, Switzerland taking on Israel. Let me see, this strange guy talks about Portugal like we were the only one team using the Silent Run? This clan base tournament is a big stupid event. Why haven't you talked about Sweden by using the SilentRun and not get disqualified? Because they are "better"?

2008-03-01 16:38

Portugal is the nation complaining the most. Sweden did it, yes, but they were already in group stages.

2008-03-01 16:51

Hahahah what a joke, if only the incredible CB admins could have swallowed their pride about 2 months ago the whole Nations Cup wouldn't have been a joke, seems too little too late for me at least. (No, I'm not mad about getting kicked out, just speaking generally).

real demece ...... ___??

2008-03-01 20:23

what a joke.

2008-03-03 00:40

Omg..good that they finally realised, but to all portuguese who still have a problem: if Portugal was really good enough, they would NOT forget about the rule of not silent running and could win, it's actually their fault you know. And so what some teams got away with it, It's really tough to watch 10players at a time and look for when they break the rules, cant always see everything. It is a stupid rule..but come on..respect it. Peace :)
