    Thanks to @clopse for helping out with the casting today. Thanks to Promethean and Team Burning for being both on-time and organised, as well as producing some excellent games. Finally, thanks to all those who watched it live, we had a very lively audience this time around and it made the event even more fun, and they were incredibly patient when we ran into a few technical problems early on.

    Remember that our next fixture is The Cult vs. Voices of War on the 11th October, 1800 UTC.

    and most of all thanks to the guys at eXodus eSports for organising these epic clan wars and giving the PA community a stream to watch the mayhem of the games

    Seconded, it is a really fun series to watch and gives a great feeling of community and clan pride, even for those of us who aren't playing (mouse arrives on monday... that might change).

    Uber would do well to advertise, or at least link it, on the official PA site, it would make a great advert for PA. These well organised team games is where I feel PA really shines.

    We recommend that all participants in Clan Wars install the Faster Server Browser mod, and also consider installing Optimise User Tag Map. The first makes the lobby browser faster and potentially improves reconnecting, while the second (once you click the button it adds to the main menu) should lead to better startup times, also useful for reconnecting.

    The VODs for Clan Wars season 1 Team Burning vs. Promethean are now up.

    If you haven't already added tags to your eXodus name, instructions on how you can do so are in the OP.

    Due to the recent patch changing metal distributions on existing systems, both The Cult and Voices of War are being allowed to submit an updated system (changing metal sliders only) by this time next week.

    The system situation will be reviewed further following their game on the 11th October.

    So when can we take our four moons and make a massive moon? What is the plans for home systems?

    Once this new pathfinding patch lands we'll see what difference that makes and then assess our options.

    The Cult have opted to update the metal distribution of their home planet, Elysium. Meanwhile Voices of War are sticking with their existing settings.

    I wonder, is 2 weeks between each clan wars match too long? I feel like it's taking ages before clans are playing each other. Just out of curiocity, why has there been chosen for a match every 2 weeks instead of every week?

    Because while that would lead to each clan playing one week in three it would result in eXodus staff working every weekend.

    How about two matches every two weeks?

    Well we already have two matches every two weeks. Assuming you mean two fixtures, we've discussed doing more in one day but the issue is we don't know how long a match will run so at least one clan could be waiting for quite a long time, a longer slot means it can be trickier to get players and staff, and it makes timezones more complicated since different regions best play at different times.

    I was about to agree with Battlebear but... I take your point.

    A match-up a week would be nice, but you guys probably do enough work for exodus already :)
