To the shock of nobody our appeal was turned down. You can read the decision here. As I expected the panel based their appeal on the match log and ignored what actually happened in the game. I also don't accept that Nick Rivers could in any way of been 'technically ineligible'. He either was eligible or he wasn't and as I had added him to the roster before the game started he was.
Just a reminder that we now have a week off for Easter and I'l start scheduling or round 2 game against DOMINATION from Tuesday.
AML Round 1, Victimise 4-12 ElementalForces

Well we had an interesting game on Sunday against EF which saw two dodgy subs and my first mad rant and choke of the season.
We started Lex, Shadowseeker, Savman and Jeru (all birds) with myself (warbird) and Nick Rivers (weasel) as subs, and a lot more about those two subs later. EF went with DeathKnight (weasel), Haz-mat (warbird), A-soul (warbird) and Stem Cell (warbird) as their starters and their only sub was five o ford (warbird).
I should of foreseen how the game was going to go after the start. When the 60 seconds to go warning came up both Jeru and Haz-mat were specced and got locked so we started the game 3v3. The two eventually got back in and were burned, but we both agreed to allow them to sc to get full ships.
We started really well. We played tight, showed good teamwork and were pushing EF back. We got a break when haz-mat lagged out. He returned and was soon killed by Savman . Haz lagged out again and while we were 4v3 up Sav got his second kill, on DeathKnight.
Five o ford subbed Haz and things settled down. The next two kills were made by EF. At eight minutes Sav was killed by DK and at twelve minutes A-soul killed Jeru. Although the score was tied at 2-2 we were still the more aggressive team and were still looking good. When Sav hit 0 reps on his second life I decided to sub in Nick Rivers to keep our slots strong and that's where the fun began.
I'd added Nick to the league roster about twenty minutes before the game was called. There's no seven day waiting period so he was eligible to play, but the Mr-Bots had already taken their rosters from MasterRater so as far as the bot was concerned he wasn't on our roster and wouldn't allow him to sub. This brings up a problem with how games are run these days. The bot is king and the ref is just there more as an observer than anything. Our ref (WarEngine) couldn't do anything as the bot wouldn't accept Nick as a player and the arena was locked. So I was shouting at the ref to get him in (in my usual chirpy happy-go-lucky manner that I reserve for staff members) while trying to explain that Nick was on our roster. Our spec freq was a mess and in-game we were 3v4 for two minutes and our teamwork fell apart.
EF only got one kill in this period (Shad kb five), but the effect on the game was much bigger than that. In the end I decided to sub myself in for Sav as I felt we couldn't afford anymore time trying to get the correct sub made.
The next kill was made by us (five kb Jeru) to tie the game up at 3, but really we weren't the same team we were before the sub. We had lost that push and control we had earlier in the game. Also I was trying to play and continue to talk to WarEngine to get Nick set up us our next sub.
The next three kills were split two-one to EF to make the score 5-4 EF and also War had PM'd me to say that Nick would now be able to sub in. So when Shad, who was on his last life, hit 0 reps he specced for Nick to finally get in. Except he couldn't. He was still locked. This was fixed after 47 seconds and he finally got in, but by then it was too late. The two attempted subs and everything that followed on from then on had killed us as a squad. We had lost our teamwork and our control of the game. Although I was playing I had spent a lot of time typing and we didn't get another kill in the game. EF won 12-4 in 28 minutes.
After the game was over I immediately submitted an appeal, but I'm not hopeful that it will be granted. In my opinion at the very least the game should be replayed from the first sub, with Nick in the game rather than me and the score at 2-2. There is a clear problem with the MR rosters and the Mr-Bots rosters for regular season round 1 games that wasn't known about before our game. This might be a small problem, but it cost us the game.
Unfortunately it doesn't really show up in the match log how much of an effect this had on us and since the people who are going to rule on this appeal were not (I don't think) at the game then they will rely on the log and base their decision on it. That's why I'm not confident of winning the appeal.
At the very least from now on the staff should tell their refs about this problem so when IML has their round 1 they can inform the squad captains that any players added in the hours before game time may be on the MR roster, but might not be on the MR-Bot roster. So they can check the two rosters and make sure that anyone they're planning on playing in the game will be eligible in the eyes of the bot.
Anyway, here's all the stats and stuff from the match:

We now have a week off for Easter. Thanks Jesus. We're back a week Sunday when we will be playing DOMINATION.

Every time I start a news report about roster changes I say that this is the last one for the season, then a couple of days later I'm posting about more changes. The last few days has seen probably the biggest turnover of players in the squad's history with nine players leaving the squad and five joining, with two players joining and leaving inside three days.
The final roster changes (probably) came on Sunday and Monday. Jeep has decided to leave and has moved up to IML to play for encore. This is personally sad for me as J was one of the first players to join the squad before we started Spring League and along with Shadowseeker is the only player to be rostered in all of Vic's Premier League seasons. I wish him well in his new squad.
To replace J we signed loots on Monday. This guy is a total Trench Wars newbie and should be avoided at all costs. The only reason I added him to the roster is to save another squad from recruiting him by mistake.
The round 1 match report will be up later this evening.

ElementalForces beat us 12-4 yesterday. It was a very messy match and I've appealed the result. I'll try and get a match report up tomorrow.
There's no games over the Easter weekend.

After thinking that our roster had been set I've had to make some more changes. PeqOla and eunich have decided to stay with their origninal squad, so I've removed them from our roster.
That means we've lost eight players this week, while signing two. Although not as deep as we were we still have two lines of good players to take into each game and I still think we're one of the favourites for the title this season.
I'll post this evening after the game and let you know the result.

I made the final changes to the roster before the round 1 lock. I removed ampheres, who's still a squad member but won't be playing for us this season, and I added Bad Influence (there's a blast from the past for you). I was also able to take Megus and HarryHood off the non-rostered list and back on the official roster. Our roster now stands at 23, which gives us two slots to add anyone else should we need to before the full round 4 roster lock, but with around 75% of our squad active right now I doubt that will happen.
The other squad news today is that for the second straight week it looks like we're going to get stiffed in scheduling. Ourselves and EF agreed to play at 5pm EST back on Tuesday, but for some reason Chronicflash (the AML scheduling coordinator) didn't confirm our time until today. By then the three 5pm slots had been filled and CF scheduled our game for 4pm. This goes against another rule, the new homefield advantage rule. Since I posted first and asked for 6pm EST initially and there was still slots left at that time then that's when the game should of been played.
But now it seems that this whole homefield advantage rule is something that CF has come up with on his own without any reference to Mizerie (the AML sysop). I still feel we should get our 5est match and I'm holding out for it. There's still one 5est slot from IML/Pro left to fill and we could take that.
You can read more about this here in the thread I started on the AML forum.

I've added a the links for AML Season 12 to the results/stats section. You can check it out by clicking the option on the menu. I also added the roster from our SmallPub League adventure.
One final roster change. Crazyman has made the decision to move to Domination. that means all the Dom players who were on Vic's roster have now left. I expect to make one more addition to the roster before Sunday and I should be able to add HarryHood and Megus back to the main roster. I dropped them down to the non-rostered list to give myself room to work when I knew there was going to be major changes, but now I don't think we're going to hit the maximum roster mark of 25.

A much easier scheduling round this week. We'll play ElementalForces on Sunday at 5pm EST. There's also been some big changes to the squad roster in the last couple of days.
For the second straight season Forever Silent have been dropped from AML for no-showing in the pre-season. DOMINATION has taken their slot. This is my WZL squad and I recruited several Dom pilots for Vic this season. So far we've lost Krogoth, spectale 2, Hitoriku and Falsehood, with maybe one more player lost too.
So I've made some additions to our roster. I've brought m8 up from curved to the league roster and recruited PeqOla, eunich and Jeru The Damaja with one more recruit to be added before the lock on Sunday.
So although we've lost some good pilots to Dom, we've brought in some very experienced league pilots to replace them and still have one of the strongest and deepest rosters in AML this season.
Also, we're due to play Dom in round 2 after Easter. Should be a fun game.

Before our 9pm match we played an unofficial game with CHAOS*ZONE. CZ were due to play against Forever Silent, but they only showed one player. So we stepped in and played them. Lex, myself and obs started (all warbirds) with GrimReefer (weasel), the FS guy. We won the game 12-8 fairly easily. The reason the score was so close was that GrimReefer died out first. Here's all the stats from the match:
Full Match Stats

In our official game we started Shadowseeker (lanc), Savman (wb), Asinine (weasel) And Lex the Impaler (wb) with Krogoth (lanc), me (wb) and stool (wb) as subs. Untarnished went with Largo, Symbsters, CyberBob and vik (all warbirds) while their subs were targeter2 (lanc) and freakmonger (wb).
It was another messy pre-season game. We played well in patches, but when we started to sub our teamwork broke down. We also had a couple of bad starts to our subs too. When Krogoth subbed in he spawned onto a bullet line and died pretty soon after, which put him on his last life before he'd settled down. The next sub was me going in for Savman when he hit zero reps on his last life. I got trapped into a corner and had to use all my reps to get out without dieing.
So even though we were 8-7 up and it was 4v4 we had two slots on their last life and both with no reps. I got isolated and knocked out at the 33 minute mark and 2 minutes later Krogoth was eliminated too. But even 9-8 down and 2v4 we were still not out of it. There was 10 minutes left. Our plan was to try and nick a kill to even the score, then run out the clock and try to nick another kill to win it in OT.
It didn't work out though. We subbed in stool for Lex to get our two slots as strong as possible, but Untarnished didn't make any stupid mistakes and got the kills for a 12-8 win. Here's all the game stats:

All in all pre-season has been a success. We managed to play two extra games for a 3-1 record and got 13 people playing time. There has been some problems, but with so many new faces in the squad that was to be expected. Our first regular season game is against ElementalForces. I'll post here when I have a time confirmed.

Untarnished beat us 12-8 last night. We played well in patches, but our teamwork wasn't as good as last week and we gave away too many stupid kills. We also played another unofficial match earlier in the day against CHAOS*ZONE. We won that game 12-8 despite playing most of the game 3v4.
I'll try and get a full match report, including stats and screenshots from both games, up on the blog later today.

Here's tomorrow's ful AML schedule and point spread. All times are in EST:
StarFire Academy vs Secret @ 3pm (Sec by 2.0)
ElementalForces vs Wretcheds @ 4pm (Wtds by 5.0)
Externals vs Gods @ 4pm (Gods by 5.0)
CHAOS*ZONE vs Forever Silent @ 5pm (CZ by 5.5)
CRIPS vs ReDS @ 5pm (CRIPS bt 2.5)
Liquid Inc. vs Warlords @ 5pm (WL by 3.5)
Anarchists vs Hitlist @ 7pm (narchs by 2.5)
Untarnished vs Victimise @ 9pm (Vic by 2.5)
Also, due to public demand, Mizerie has shortend the regular season length and gone back to a two divison system. We now play a 9 round regular season (7 division rounds and 2 seeding rounds) with the playoffs remaining unchanged (top 8 moving on, 1 game quarters and semis, 3 game finals). Here's how the divisions are set up:
Thunder
Warlords
Gods
Secret
StarFire Academy
Externals
ReDS
CRIPS
Lightning
Anarchists
Hitlist
Wretcheds
CHAOS*ZONE
Victimise
Liquid Inc.
ElementalForces
Forever Silent
You can check the new schedule by clicking the link in the menu to the right. Our first regular season game next weekend is now against ElementalForces. Although EF aren't at the level they were last season when they made the semis this still should be a good test for us and to see where we currently stand in the AML pecking order.

We're playing Untarnished at 9pm EST On Sunday. I personally think we were screwed on our scheduling thread, but there's not much I can do about it. I'll try and get a full round 2 schedule up later today.

We kicked off season 12 with a solid 9-8 win over SFA on Sunday. The pre-match went as expected. AznWonderland no-showed and the official result is a 1-0 win for us over them. After that we played our unofficial game. As SFA didn't have a roster up on MasterRater the bot couldn't run in game mode and we had to play with it in prac mode. The only real difference that made was that the game length could only be 30 minutes. Considering the playing style that StarFire Elite have always used it looked like the game would go the distance and that's exactly what happened.
I was pleased that I got seven people playing time. We started stool (weasel), bongman (spider), Lex the Imapler (warbird) and crazyman (weasel), then subbed in Jam-Z (warbird), CHARCUTRON (weasel) and ampheres (warbird). SFA's starters were Agent, Something Dutch, K2Grey and vt with Solar Hydro as their only sub (all in warbirds).
We started the stronger, we the more aggressive but we were never more than two kills ahead until bongman knocked out Solar Hyrdo for a 7-4 lead. The game was pretty disjointed as you'd expect from a pre-season match and a couple of our subs weren't as smooth as usual. But we never looked like we were going to lose the match at any point.
Not much else to say really. Typical early pre-season game, but good to start with a win. Here's all the stats from the match:

We're going to play StarFire Academy at 4pm EST on Sunday.
Our official opponents are AznWonderland, but they are a dead squad and are expected to no-show. So after the 10 minute timer runs out and we are awarded a no-show win we will go on to face SFA, who are the squad that will replace AznW after they are kicked out the league.
I'll post a full schedule here once all the times are confirmed as well as posting Vic's full season schedule.
