Just like Titanic Tuesday used to generate excitement, I would like to see Two Side Tuesday tried out.
 
Two countries, a one hour switch time and unlimited switch time to low numbered country.  Convert an AVA or scenario map.



If it fails, the proof will be there for all to see.  HTC can say "I told you so" and go back to business as usual.

Suppose it doesn't fail?  Having one day per week a little different would generate excitement.

This would be so much fun.   I bet it would be a hit requiring Two-sided Thuraday, too.

Shake things up, Hitech.

Oh man, can you imagine the poorly spelled, hysterical, all-caps posts that will generate when peoples cherished chess piece is gone for a night?

Glorious.

No doubt.  Just like with the dar experiments.  Just having it on one day of the week would alleviate some of their "suffering".   :D

As far as I know, HTC hasn't tried a 2 sided MA format since the '90s.  There was probably no ENY system in place to keep things from getting out of hand.


Barely 100 players in prime time isn't cutting it.  Please try this out.  :pray



The sides can be "Us" and "Them".  Whichever side you pick becomes "Us" on your map and the enemy side will always be "Them".

Yup.. i know they have said they know from experience that two sides hasnt worked, but I dont believe ENY was around during that time.  Neither was I, so that is an assumption.  I can see what happens when all available players online can interact with eachother, i saw it last night.  Its hard to evenly share a pizza with three people.

Divide that pizza into three equal pieces.  Be specific.   Hee hee.

Some of you guys proved that it worked last week,as well. In AvA. I would be willing to bet that even on the STATISTICALLY lowest turn out day/evening that would change, once the word got out. What, maybe a month? Wonder if a case of Scotch, IF it doesnt work to boost that particular time slot? I mean all things being equal with MA, except for time switch timer, but keep ENY to FORCE Balancing?   :uhoh It will split the players from MA, but it could go along way with letting this old horse either getting some rest or at least some peace :uhoh
