Idk but I guess cook like I never thought about it. The word cook. What do I think of cook? Not cooking? I don't know let me think. What is cook? Is it nothing more than a c two OS and a k? I guess I got no beef with cook but I am also not publicly supporting cook, I'll keep my thoughts on cook to myself and would appreciate it if you did the same.

Can you explain the meme?

Of course! Cook is the name of a tagpro player who got in some trouble with the league and fought it really hard. This resulted in the league leadership writing a 39 page document explaining why he is banned from the league which was then met by an attempt at rebuttal by Cook that was also way too long winded. Any way, Cook has been known to try to bypass his ban by signing up with new names or names of other public game players so anyone who claims to be new is, for the meme, assumed to be Cook.

Heya, New. I think I remember seeing ya in Pubs around.
NLTP is currently in the off-season after the conclusion of Season 13. Season 14 will start up after the holidays, so sometime in January. Just keep an eye out here on the sub for signups.
Seasons typically last around 3 months so just be aware of that whenever you go to sign up (: Hope to see ya there.
wait that isn't a meme they are actually waiting until January???
yes? i dont know why or even how they'd start before. Can't start now before NFTL is over, so that's at least until the first week of december, then you have the holidays and new years, which is like a 2-3 week break, so you have like, 2 weeks in december at best where people can play and then you just go back on break.
Better to just give us the long off-season, fill it with NFTL and try to come up with ways to improve/fix competitive tagpro and save NALTP cuz this game is dying haha
I imagine MLTP signups will be out sometime in December/end of November and then they'll run for a month/month and a half and we'll have our draft in early to mid January.
that long of a break is retarded that's why. I would be surprised if more than 5% of players WOULDN'T want to get the season started right away. I'd personally assume that having a 2(or is it 3?) month break at this point in tagpro will drive even more people away from having nothing to do. New people don't want to wait that long, us vets don't wanna wait that long either.
NFTL has what, 4 weeks of play time + week of playoffs? Containing a fraction of the community while those who don't like NFTL have to sit around and wait? Shits stupid. MLTP finished almost a month ago today, get signups going now and teams will be getting drafted mid December, then that gives them 2 weeks to get chemistry together due to holidays. In the 2-3 week mean time NLTP gets their shit rolling and we're all off to a quick start come January.
I personally see absolutely no reason to not get the process started now. NFTL has 0 impact on if people will fill out a form. I don't think anyone wants to wait until 2019 to play actual competitive again. It's like we're trying to shoot ourselves in the foot as this point
listen im not crc so no need to get all angry with me about it. i dont decide anything, im just explaining what i assume the crc's thought process is.
I agree that signups should be out asap. But I assume that NALTP will (hopefully) be undergoing some big changes competitively and with the CRC and so they're just figuring things out. Maybe not, though.
I would hope MLTP and NLTP honestly just form into one cohesive league with one CRC to get everything like communication and scheduling all done transparently. but who knows.
Every single person I've talked to in NLTP has wanted to start the next season pretty quick. Long wait time is bad for the game imo.
Ok what do I do in the meantime I mean 2 months is forever
Yeah. Right now there's an off-season league NFTL (/r/NFTL) going on, which is the Neutral Flag league, but the draft already happened and I don't believe there's Free Agency, so unfortunately there's not much except for pubs. Maybe people will host some tourney's on mumble/discord but I haven't seen any yet so far.
If you want, I could add you to my NFTL's team discord and you'd be welcome to help us warm-up before games on Thursday's and Sunday's but I don't think you'd be able to play in the games.
Other than that, you could join the competitive tagpro discord - Here and look out in the '#Looking for Scrims' channel and help people out there who are looking for pick up games or practices for their NFTL teams.
If you don't have or use Discord, just let me know and I can try to help ya get acquainted.
Hope this helps ya.
Yeah I think warming up on Sundays would be good. I don't know jack crap about discord but I think maybe I heard about it before, it's like a chat or something people use in games?
Sounds good. I'll send a PM to join our Discord.
Just make an account on discord.gg, don't have to use your real name or anything like that, and it's basically an app where you can talk/chat to others. It's mostly a gaming thing but it's used for whatever.
