Sorry, just now getting online.

I am of the opinion that sticking to a set schedule for Battleground is our best bet to maximize everyone's ability to contribute to the mode.

If we start one on Monday an hour or so before the Team Event begins, that should allow people to energize the cards while also contributing to the team event. Win/Win situation. Quickly play out the attacks on Tuesday, claim our rewards on Wednesday.

The starting day for the other one is still really up for debate. We can either start it Thursday, and have Sunday off, or take Thursday off and have it run Friday-Sunday. We can put that to a vote to see what works best for people, I don't really care.

Rewards are in:

Ultimate: Baron Corbin

Elite: Mark Henry (which makes a shitty pro)

Elite: Chris Jericho

The 12 hour claim window changes things..... It will only allow for 2 a week if we are keeping to a set schedule

Monday Afternoon is a definite for starting one of these. I think it's the best time since Monday night and Tuesday is when we'll be going hard for the team event. 

The question is, when do we start the other one? Thursday morning, Thursday afternoon, Friday morning?

If we are being realistic, it is getting to the point where Team RTG is going to become out of our reach simply due to the time allowed versus the points needed.

I don't think any of us have the funds needed to cruise through the event like the teams Ace and Buddy seem to find do.

Team RingDom is definitely a priority event, as that is an easy card that we can all actually use.

I think with Battleground, the important thing is people making their attacks. Energize as much as you can, when you can, but try to make as many attacks as possible since those get us points, and points get us good shit!

So Monday afternoon, Thursday morning, and Saturday whenever one can be started after the other one ends.

Two other bits of business that will need adressed.....

1) Promoting more generals to start these things. I don't want sole responsibility of doing it, and Scotty's work is crazy. So how many to promote and who?

2) Participation. If we are doing this 3 times a week, I don't think we can expect people to be all in all the time. How do we decide if someone is not pulling their weight now.

So the plan is to start one on Monday right around the time the team event begins, that makes sense.

Do we start a second one on Thursday, or do we wait until Friday, so that it runs into Saturday when people might have more time to play?

We are definitely going to have to discuss as a team when and how often we should be doing this game mode. I figure I should probably also promote some more generals.

Ignore This!

Supercard is being nice to me for a change! 

Last night I pulled Elite Kane to make my 2nd Elite pair (after Cesaro) and then today I just pulled an Elite Charlotte! 

Definitely the fastest I've had two tier pulls together ever.

After we get this first one done and see how it works, we will need to have a team wide discussion about how we want to go about doing these.

Okay, I guess I am starting a whatever the fuck the new team game is match!

I'm finally back from holiday, do the hitmen want to give the new mode a go?

I still don't even understand it.

Downloaded the update, and man Waiting on Network has never looked better!

Well, that new mode sounds fucking terribly time consuming....

We got Cesaro! Awesome job everyone!

Congrats to everyone else who had a good RTG too.

Other than Ace. 

"I'm gonna leave the team, won't have time for team events. Oh look, my new team got the WM33 card, tee hee, lol, screw you guys."

Just realized how much this Team RTG could potentially help me out.

The SS card will give me the last piece of fodder I need to start an Ultimate Fusion.

I just realized Hardened Orton is a Pro, and Elite Cesaro if we can get him would be my first Elite Pro.

Well, I didn't 

I really hope Wednesday isn't a Season 4 reset.

Elite Cesaro was last month's Log In Bonus. Seems odd that they have it in Team RTG.

If we could get it, that would be awesome!

While the Ember Moon would be a help to my deck, I can't find the motivation to finish a Heath Slater first.

If we can snag the Ultimate and the Elite this time, that would be awesome.

Don't bother getting them bouts or training them up if your not planning to use them. As for Pro'ing them, if you've never Pro'ed them before it looks nice in your catalog. Otherwise, just use them to train the cards you are actually using.

Like was said earlier, if you are using the card, make sure to get all the bouts in all the stats played on both cards before combining them to make the best possible card.

Also, did you say you are training Rare cards to Pro them, just to feed them to higher cards?

My +5 wall dropped at 70 into Woods, and +3 became difficult at around 100. Didn't have the drive or time to do that many +1's this weekend.

Still since the last team event I pulled an Elite Finn Balor, got Elite Aries from RTG, paired Hardened Baron Corbin, got Hardened Bliss from KOTR, grabbed a second one from MITB, and Pro'ed her. Not a bad week.

70 points into Ultimate Woods and the wall has come down. 

Farthest I've ever gotten in RTG.

Rest of the weekend is busy, we'll see about grinding for Woods.

Pizza, Hitman. Glad to have you aboard.

ChrisO, no hard feelings man, we just need people who can put in maximum effort.

Vipers, hope you can get built back up.

Ace... You Suck Again
