Subj : Re: USO Preview Reminder! To : All From : Silver Dragon Date : Fri Jan 03 2003 08:27 am This is in no way innovative, just about every tournament releases its edits early for some sort of practice game. It happens for every tourny every year. And it is to prevent what you state. The more servers that run the TWA file means everyone who wants to play will get a chance to practice with their team. I am sure the edits will be run on 3 or more servers at different times. This is the goal of getting the edits out there. It is also good advertisement. So I dont think anyone is getting any type of advantage, youre only hurting yourself if you dont take one of the many chances to practice.

I do have a couple of itchy feelings though about opening a practice game with the final edits as well as making the .twa file available. These are that players at Hardcoded as well as those that ask for the .twa file for their servers will have totally unfair advance practice and training options over the new or at least unknown players coming in for 1st time from small or new sites. It is indeed an innovative feature for the USO! > On the other hand though it does give the more experienced players at Hardcoded as well as those from servers that set up the .twa file the added advantage of having more "buzzard bait" to mess with when the game opens! Muhahaha > > >From a message by Silver Dragon about USO Preview Reminder!: > > Game S will be replaced by a submitted startrek game. USO Preview will also open both a 7pm eastern time Friday Jan third. Get your teams into the USO game and find out what its all about and then sign up for the real thing!
