I'm not sure why you feel you need admin permission to go make your own website where you do your own tracking of scores for people on your own teams.
If you were looking to get implementation -on the site- for your team system, teams and guilds and clans have been denied as an idea for years, so I don't know why you'd think it would change now.
tasselfoot your monitor was broken i assumed you wouldnt be on for a bit lmao.
devonin, the idea is to implement teams in 3rd style and prove the whole concept viable to the FFR platform.
yes its been denied for years from the regulars, and stubbornly they will stick by that.
past evidence shows that teams cannot work, but thats because they were unregulated, and had no structure to them.
the change we make here makes all the difference.
and read the original post all the way through before posting please.
"When teams became popular, there were many. Based on spamming, disloyalty and bragging and getting the best people, this created the idea that teams were nonsense and could not be possible to support on such a game as FFR."
I did read it. Don't assume things please. I even went to your site and had a look around. I'm going to pretend the patronizing attitude of assuming that since I didn't agree with you I clearly didn't pay attention to what you said isn't indicative of what we'd expect from the team system you proposed.
The issue that is had with the team system is the inherant constant competition between groups. FFR doesn't want to encourage division, it wants to encourage cooperation and community. It simply doesn't matter that you'd have "rules against" negative behaviors, you simply cannot have a team system full of 13-17 year olds without a huge degree of "Our team is better than your team" bravado that will inevitably spill into the forums and end badly.
It's bad enough just with the small-scale one-off tourneys that the site supports. Go read the Official Tourney thread some time and see how much everyone gets into the spirit of friendly and cooperative competition. They largely don't.
More thorough and complete suggestions for team/clan/guild systems have been denied before, I'm not sure what you feel that your structure system is any different from their stucture systems.
Also, it isn't even so much the regulars that deny it... it's the staff that denies it, for mostly the reasons that devonin mentions, which are the reasons that i've mentioned for years.
There is a giant clan thread in bug report/suggestions somewhere, with a lot of support of wanting official clan support. But I will fight it so long as I am in a position to. It is absolutely pointless and will do far more harm than good.
