So i see this battle and i sign up.....a couple hours later....its gone, its not on the board anymore, NO WAY TO RETRACT

i hop on my computer this morning ...hmmm, performance and reliability have dropped? how? i thought i did well last night

i check archive battle and there it is...a battle that didnt even take place, no one has a score

but i lose reliability and performance...because, like everyone else...i didnt show up

WTF
I REMEMBER PLAYING IN RAIN
THROUGH THE NIGHTFALL WITH FOG
THAT CLOGGED UP OUR EYES
BUT IM MORE HORRIFIED OF A MOD
I NO LONGER RECOGNIZE

yes do it, because strategus reliability and performance realy matters!
people are like potatoes, they come in different shapes and sizes and they all are beautifull
masturbating while looking in a mirror isnt wrong unless its the rear view mirror and you are driving a school buss.

it doesnt matter if you are happiest person or an unfortunate weeper, a powerfull beast or a terrifying creature. we are all equal, in the eyes of the reaper.

My bad dude. I went to save the roster and instead got the cancel battle button. It it makes you feel any better, I felt completely stupid and wasn't very happy with myself afterwards.

Rhalzo's already in Chaos' cooler older brother clan, he's fine riding his motorcycle around in a leather jacket smoking cigarettes with GIRLS, our little treehouse isn't his speed anymore.

It called a mistake, and i expect them to happen from time to time. And its one of those simple little mistakes, the ones people make all the time...i am just asking devs to do something, so i myself dont have to pay for the error

Again accidents happen, and the devs should anticipate them happening because noone is perfect. Something should be put in place where if a battle cancels....it actually cancels, and anyone on a battle roster that gets canceled should be removed by the system

As of right now, anyone could join any battle, and once a battle is canceled...it doesnt actually seem to be canceled, it still shows up in the archive as if there was a battle you should have shown up for.

No hard feeling toward FIDLGB, like i said these things happen, and it appears even they didnt know the battle was gonna be canceled, it just a small error.


But there are people out there who performance is very important too....people that worked very hard to get a perfect 10 \10, shouldnt be punished because they picked a battle that happened to be canceled later.

And to those reading that think reliability and performance are small things to worry about.....lets say there is a strat drought for your side of the map, and you sign up for EU battles...where no one knows you , all they have to go on is your reliability and performance

In my experience your level and build are far more important for getting accepted (when unknown). *Providing stats can help with this*

Reliability and Performance has very little meaning and the people who run big factions know that there are -
Canceled battles, battles where no enemy turn up, poor leadership/unfilled rosters, battles where you don't get told it's peasant gear and get raped (or even as an attacker 2h and pole get great k/d because of spawn raping, whist ranged players are lucky to get any kills), server bugs where you can't connect to the server (was a big issue a few months ago on EU side) etc
These mess with your Reliability and Performance and make them untrustworthy.

Personally I've done a lot of siege equipment protection/spawn protect etc. This is very important and strat battles would be almost impossible to win without people doing this. Yet due to a low K/D by comparison to the rest of the team my performance drops.

So unless the Devs can find a way to include ridiculous variables such as the ones listed above when working out your performance, it's pointless.

You also can't search for mercs so the only way someone can see your performance/reliability is by hiring you, can anyone really be bothered to accept people just to check these ratings so you can decided if you are going to keep them or not?? (Or search through archive trying to find a battle they were in).

I've never cancelled a fight and I've worked about 100 rosters.  Just saying.
