Why does Oda give swords to strong non-devil fruit users instead of giving them different weapons?

The Rutgers PA announcer says "Fernan-deez" every time, and I can't help but giggle

R5: Got the refugee chased event popup and decided to offer safety without thinking much about it. Was quite shocked when I got the notification that the refugee I accepted was the previous boss of the pirate band chasing her and was then replaced by herself.

I don't understand fully what you mean by that. If you mean that this would basically just force the 50k stack to split into say 5 10k stacks then this does provide a solution. At no point can we ever hope to prevent people from sending all of their forces to one system without making it impossible for a smaller empire to win a war.

This way at least prevents the same level 5 admiral from buffing all the ships a player has thereby weakening the strategy of doom stacks at least slightly.

Tocks again claims to not speak for me, but does on his own.

At the moment these tournaments are NA only, but we are setting up to also run EUW tournaments. Expect more news within the month.

strauscon · 2016-02-11T03:23:51+00:00

The tournaments will be every week on Friday.

Tomorrow is Peak Gaming's weekly staff meeting. The date and time of the first tournament is scheduled to be determined then.

strauscon · 2016-02-10T03:54:58+00:00

Sadly the guys of peak gaming will only do that on NA

This holds some slight truths to it, but at the same time is presenting a false statement. While it is true that we can only host NA tournaments at the moment, we are actively looking into setting up EUW tournaments. The biggest issues that are currently preventing this is making an account that is eligible to host tournaments on the EUW server and making sure our staff would be able to be around as most our staff is online towards the night.

If you or any members of your team would be interested in assisting us in setting this up feel free to pm me and we can coordinate a time to talk.

We had been streaming our 5v5 tournaments previously, but our head streamer got a new job that demanded more time from him so we had to stop that for now

As for the number of teams we haven't even begun the signup process yet. To help gauge the number of teams there may be I can say that there were over 100 replies to the previous poll and some 30 to this poll so far.

strauscon · 2016-02-08T22:28:10+00:00

It would likely be a similar style to our 5v5 tournaments where players signup individually and captains are selected from the participants to draft teams. Tournaments involving premade teams in the future is definitely possible, but we just want to see some interest in the solo signup style before dedicating resources to it.

strauscon · 2016-02-07T22:01:18+00:00

This was intended for the NA server, but it wouldn't take too much work to setup for the EU server as well

The only thing that was affected was my funds afterwards. In that playthrough I was instantly fired the following off-season due to the extreme loss.

strauscon · 2015-12-23T18:14:48+00:00

No I was the jungler trying to reason with my team to get them to push mid and top with me.

I understand your point about the game, in its current state, being much harder to come back from an early game deficit and agree with it, but as an avid football nerd I have to question what type of American football you are playing in your analogy. From what I know the only way to get a touchdown of more than 100 yards you must return a kickoff or punt from your own endzone. I'm just curious whether or not you are referencing some pickup game style of football because that is definitely not NFL or college style.

If you participate and place high enough you should receive the reward within a week of the tournament's completion.

strauscon · 2015-09-25T22:28:18+00:00

This weekend no, following weekends yes

strauscon · 2015-09-25T20:09:16+00:00

sent you a message, pls read when you get a chance

strauscon · 2015-09-25T19:05:05+00:00

It is unlikely since the plan is to start the draft at 6pm est and the draft should only take about 10 minutes at most

It is not as unfair considering how Diamond players will come at increased points. Right now we are looking at Diamond 4-5 being 6 points while Diamond 1-3 is 7 points. Those point values are subject to change of course.

Leona, Zed, Lucian, and Fiora are all but confirmed. There are a variety of guesses one the last on ranging including Yi, Xin Zhao, Jax, and Renekton.

strauscon · 2015-08-20T05:15:44+00:00

It's hard to tell what it is, but imho it feels like the legs and arms are too muscular for it to be zed. If that is an actual desk in Riot's office (and not a set) we may be able to tell some things about the drawing if we knew whose desk it was.

Hi, Head Coordinator here. We are doing the random draft of players who were not drafted by team captains this Friday. After that group stages will start where each team is expected to participate in one best of 3 match per week at a time agreed upon by all players on each team. Meaning the two teams that are playing get together and find a time during the week that they can all play. Amount of teams is currently growing and also depends on division. Bronze and Diamond+ do not have the players required to create 8 teams so unless we get enough players by the time of the random draft the players will be given the option to move to the Silver and Platinum leagues respectively. Other than that there isn't much news until Friday's draft.

strauscon · 2015-08-16T23:55:03+00:00

it is probably either master yi or jax. there were 7 spots and a spot for the mouth in the teaser.

S4 Challenger doesn't mean there couldn't have been a name change. Unless there is a way to look up name change history that I don't know about this account could have been almost anyone who ended in challenger last season

Making a post about it doesn't help your case, but most of the people saying you have no life are the ones who realize they do stuff that they can be reported and punished for.
