THE.SHARP has withdrawn and been replaced by [SS]Zubi

5-0,5-0,5-0 to Fulton

Withdrawing from the event is strictly frowned upon. When a player withdraws, the rest of the group's scoring becomes unfairly messed up and for some players, the qualification scores have to be adjusted by administration.

---

Replacement Policy
If a player withdraws without playing any matches, a new player from the reserves will take their place. The reserve player will be picked from the same region(West, Central or East) in a first come first serve order.

Scoring
If a player withdraws from the event after playing one or more matches. All their matches(future and past) will be changed to a Loss(5-0, 5-0, 5-0).

say UGMP again motherfucker

Will there be Mujra and Qawali in the opening ceremony?

There is almost a pattern here, which reminds me of my own post.

In my opinion, when a programmer plans and designs a game mode he/she puts a lot more focus in uniqueness, presentation and efficiency. When VCMP gets a new feature, we all try to cram that feature in our scripts just for the sake of it. We put a great deal of thought in how cool that flashy things looks and we scream it out from a rooftop that no other server has it. The programmer gets motivated to script new stuff that is challenging to achieve from a scripter's point of view.

What we neglect is, the player's point of view. A regular VCMP player is a 14 year old autistic kid, who is gonna spend fuckton of hours on your server like a retard. He cares about bitch slapping other 14 year old kids with his 18 inch e-dick. He doesn't give a shit about the GUI organization, or how well you optimize the code. He wants a competitive game mode, with a balanced game play that offers the players to ruin each other's day and then have a group discussion about their mothers and sisters.

If you don't care about these players your server will be empty.
It is hard for a scripter to think like a player because our mind works differently. So, it is always better to have a manager for your server that doesn't know jack shit about scripting but is mature to understand the player's needs. You will probably have a lot of disagreements with the manager, but it is better to swallow it up and script what you are told.

I personally think it is better to have a manager as the top dog, with a scripter with only programming boundaries. The scripter should not be dealing with policies, staffing and administrative decisions. That brings dramas and bullshit that shouldn't be scripters problems.

Though, if you think in oversight, there have been such Director/Scripter combinations before and also people going solo as the boss and the scripter role. Some fared well, some didnt.
