Maybe we should implement the 2 FM's again? After the next war of course.
one way to reduce wait times would be to have both the field marshall and general set up games, and if there's a lot of teams like yesterday, maybe even other high com members. It's not like the FM is the only high com members, and i'm not even sure what the other ones do other than be emergency replacements.
I dont know the process that goes into setting up the matches, if I did i might be able to help with a few ideas. Tonight night there was a bit of waiting ALTHOUGH Redwatch played 11 games compared to last weeks 5 games. We had 3 squads go in an out of battles, there was always a squad fighting. From what I heard the FMs were not hosting the matches, so that throws a wrench into the operations, especially if it wasnt planned. We had 4v4 battles on top of extra games to play. I have waited about 2 hours during the beta war once, so all in all I say the night went ok. This is not something that can be rushed and tiny mistakes pile up high. Every second you waste screwing around in a lobby or finding a replacement piles up making others have to wait or find replacements for their players who cant wait. Gargoyle and Pheonix did a great job IMO, they got people together and set things up fast and moved on quickly. When us Redwatch members had a match to play we got started fairly quick, but there were connection issues. I have my NAT streamed for xbox live Gameplay, but that are time that I cant connect or have a slow internet. The problem isnt as simple and having a open NAT, there a lot more variables to consider. Granted having a open NAT help immensely so if you can fix it.
If some one wouldnt mind sending me a pm of the process of setting up games I would appreciate it, I would like to help in any way i can. I once hosted a 3 day long match that we had to keep swapping people in for, so I know such events are no where near "Simple"

Like SanguineSpartan said, it's not always simply opening your NAT, my NAT is open and sometimes I can't join other players that have their NAT open. It is extremely annoying.
As far as I know, the only person in REDD I can't connect to is Coda.
