But it works and I only started using it because otherwise you can't bet when it's busy.

But it works and I only started using it because otherwise you can't bet when it's busy. Same here, I just could get a bet on. How often does it send a request? If its just 1 or 2 per second then it shouldn't cause the site any problems and I don't see why it would need to send more requests than that. Disclaimer: I've no idea what I'm talking about.

The lounge needs to implement a queue for bets instead of letting people hammer it with requests.

Random thought. Has goonman ever held a tournament on the server? I was thinking we could basically get a pool of people from here together then assign people to each team based on the sub.io RWS in a way that makes the teams as close to statistically even as possible then run some bo3's over a weekend. Obviously the number of people able to play would be a huge factor, and one of the servers would have to be blocked off from pugs for a couple of days for it, but I think it would be cool to snag a couple skins / steam games and let some teams actually stick together for more than a single pug.

Some notorious botter/match fixer called Stormberg tried to get a small clan to throw a match for him and well...http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/2vixor/onlinebots_statement/ posted:Hello, http://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/2vj5ky/as_i_predicted_all_of_stormbergs_accounts_are/ posted:OnlineBots decided to take Stormberg's bribe but still win the game, so Stormberg lost $24,000.00 on that game and now Lounge is banning all of his accounts so he loses anything in his returns and so on. So that means he lost at least $24k and probably is going to lose a lot more, upwards of up to maybe 50 or more grand.

Isn't it still sketchy to take the skins even though they won? Sounds like they want to get ahead of it before getting it trouble by putting a spin on the situation.

I tried to put a 2v2 tournament together two years ago, went pretty well all things considered. Granted, my admin was removed like half way through the tourney so it never really finished. We had low gravity matches, smg only matches, it was pretty fun.

Seems like a fun idea but it'd probably kinda suck to organize so I'm not volunteering. Perhaps have captains and draft teams like normal except there would be say 4 teams instead of 2. And obviously let's bet on the matches.

ok so we would either need 4 or 6 teams. a tournament with 4 teams doesn't seem that fun, and 6 seems like too many. if we try to do it with 4 players, we will need 20 people who can commit to specific times for matches etc. is this something worth planning? bust out the google doc spreadsheet?

You should start by making a sign-up sheet, have people vote for the (however many, I think 6 is fine) captains, and then they can draft the people who signed up. e: of course, if not enough/too many people sign up, team number should scale accordingly aborn fucked around with this message at 20:44 on Feb 11, 2015 |

Yeah, no way you could get everyone involved to commit for that long a period of time on the same date, even if we do have two servers to do it in.
