Welcome back everybody! The third iteration of RP Clan League is underway, and with the final game of RPCL2 finished, everything is ready to be prepared. Thank you to everyone who has made this possible, as the league continues to thrive!

FAQ:

What templates will be played?

Currently undecided! The way they will be decided, is that every returning clan to RP Clan League will vote, in a preferential voting system among a pool of templates. They'll be given a deadline, and if their point of contact doesn't meet it, their voice doesn't count (they'll be given more than 1 reminder).

Only rule for what templates will absolutely not show up: multiple ones on the same map! For example, if RoR 2v2 and RoR 3v3 get voted in as templates, then the voters will have to choose their preferred format for the map; and the next-most-voted template is given the empty space.

How will the scoring system work?

Same as last time. 4 1v1 tournaments; each game is worth 3 points. 2 2v2 tournaments; each game is worth 4 points. 1 3v3 tournaments; each game is worth 5 points.

What clans are participating, and what will the new division look like?

A:
AOE
CORP
TJC
{rp}
EIC
Esp

B:
Wolves
{W.U}
Royal Empire
World League
USSR
Dacians

As well as 4 new clans...

Across
FCC
The Circle
The Nights Watch

When will it begin?

This date hasn't been set yet, but right now the lower bound is somewhere around late September.

What are the requirements for replacement games?

- When a player leaves a clan, and deliberately messes up to annoy the clan in 1v1 / 2v2 / 3v3
- A person joins the wrong team and misrepresents the skill of the clan because of that

No replacement games outside these 2 clear definitions.

How many divisions will there be?

Honestly still under decision. Right now there are 6 returning A clans, 6 returning B clans, and 4 new clans. A C division of 4 is too small, and a B division of 10 is too big. Anybody with a massive brain want to give a solution to this huge problem? O_o (don't worry, you've got time on your side, mysterious genius).

Any other questions are welcomed and I'll do the best I can do to answer them!

Across into relevance.

What about two divisions of 8? :P

I love you Ox not the shallow love that comes from conveniences and providing useful services on a risk clone. No not at all but the deep love that burns within the heart of all LAGs, the one that drives me to smite all your foes. A love to tattoo your tagines and plaster my walls with past profile pictures. I'll even watch braveheard and denounce the Queen (PBUHer).

Hmm sleep would be a good thing to add to my agenda.

Now onto a more lighthearted topic, perhaps a league of 4 could only have one promotion / Relegation?

In my opinion a group of eight would make RPCL last too long and be less competitive. It also invalidates the fight of last season divison B / A to promote / not to relegate.

Ps. Tabby stop shitposting T. Everyone

There arent two other clans interested?

Could have
A (8) and B (8)
A (6) B1 (5) B2 (5) - At the end B11 (first of div b11) and B21 promotes, or finals between B11, B21,B12 and B22.
A (6) B (6) C (4) - Div C could play 2 times each tourney.

Tabby, create another topic about another tourney if you want, not here please.

RPCL1 had eight clans in the sole division and was actually shorter than RPCL2. :P

@Onoma

Even just the skill level is enought to diswarrent it in my opinion. Can you name eight clans that also participate in diplomacy that would be close in one league? (unless I am just being ignorant of wider less known diplomacy community)

CORP
TJC
EIC
FCC
Maybe {Rp}
Turtles

That still leaves three clans of easy points in a divison of Eight.

Edited 8/25/2016 01:56:05

What about turtles? I'm pretty sure i've read something about diplomacy on their clan page. You should put them on the list

8A 8B sounds like the most sensible imo. But then again, I'd feel really bad about TLW and W.U. :P

That's the basic breakdown for 8 clans per group. I think the 3rd option is the best for the spots in question, but I'll leave that up to the committee. The Issue here is with 8 clans per group, the speed of the league is going to drop dramatically due to more games needing to be played

Another potential grouping is 6 in A, 5 in B, and 5 in C. This is about as close as we can get to previous league's groupings of 6 per group. Which group has 6 clans could be different, but I think its unfair to demote a clan that finished 4th out of 6.

3 Promotion 1 Relegation is a good idea however there are too many teams which will make RPCL3 much longer than RPCL2.
That's why I suggested an alternative in the second half of my post. Please read things.

^Sorry but TLW no longer exists. However we accept that ex-TLW members may form a team for RPCL3 even though TLW has never been a clan to begin with and no longer exists after Felidae expelled knyte, Semice and disbanded the organization for cat-hating.
I believe you disagree with the facts here. The clan The Lost Wolves, commonly abbreviated TLW still exists and has existed officialy as an entity classified as a clan on the domain www.warlight.net since March 3rd, 2014, and will for the remaining existence of the domain, or at minimum until Fizzer introduces the capacity to delete clans(see https://www.warlight.net/Clans/?ID=70 for evidence) Also, your claims of expelling knyte and Semice are not valid, as they left voluntarily. I suggest you send mail to them to confirm this fact if you have doubts about the authenticity of the claim. The organization also has not been disbanded, as it still exists as previously stated, as well as the fact that no one with the official authority to claim it was disbanded has said so. As such, the only valid statements within your sentence that are true are TLW members may form a team for RPCL3, which is true once you drop the ex term, and organization for cat-hating, which is probably part true, as I am sure some members do indeed hate cats, however this is probably not fully reflective of the clan.

tl;dr Stop trolling Tabby please and thank you.

If TLW is in trouble to find players, maybe I could play for them :D

No alts froggy :p

Also, they do have players. It's just that their skill level is questionable...

Ahh, here we go. I guess I should go brush up on my legal books, lol.
No it does not. TLW has been disbanded by Felidae in what appears to be a clan hijack but was actually a coup.
First off, the definition of disbanding is stated according to the oxford dictionary as: (Of an organized group) break up or cause to break up and stop functioning. Let's see. TLW has not broken up, as it still has 70+ members. It still functions as a clan, with clan games, tourneys, forum posts, etc.

Warlight does not allow a clan page to be deleted. Despite the destruction of TLW its so-called clan page still exists.
How was TLW destroyed?, please maintain consistent terminology. As such, this statement is contradictory to your previous claims. Also, there are still 70 members in the clan, so your claim of destruction is inconsistent with the evidence available.

No. It was not a clan. It is true that it was registered as a clan officially. However it was not actually a clan at all. It never functioned as a clan despite having a so-called clan page. Also clans such as Felidae do not recognize TLW at all.
Let's see about that. What do clans on the warlight domain offer? in-clan tourneys(check), in-clan games(check), participation in Clan Leagues(check), an active closed subforum(check), do I need to go on? Also, this isn't the UN. Your clan's refusal to recognize as a clan does not actually matter. The Only person who's say on recognizing clans existence that matters due to legal authority is fizzer.

Because they have been expelled by us. We Cats actually control TLW and when its leadership decides to promote caninism and oppose us we shut them down. Knyte and Semice were expelled from TLW for defaming us. Then we shut down TLW.
"Shut down", sure. We still have 70+ members. Also, if you had actually expelled them, which is not true, then why didn't you expell me for instance? I am on record supporting caninism, opposing you, and was part of clan leadership under knyte, holding similar power to Semice. As such, your claim of control is lacking support in many factions, and is probably fraud.

Sure! After its destruction we changed the icon of the Organization of Lost Wolves to that of Felidae. Later we undid this change. However it should be clear that we control that organization and its "clan page".
You do realize that change was conducted by American Empire or Zeph, during the gay attack mail thread, specifically page 4. As such, you do not control it. That change was conducted as a trolling by Knyte, AE, Zeph, and a few others. if you control it, I suggest you change the TLW clan page to match Felidae's clan page in the next 24 hours to provide evidence, failure to do so supports my argument.

Not the place.

I dare you survive three days in wolves HQ without committing sudoku. It takes a special trait most are not born with. :p

Still, you're not enough. Might have to bring in half of outlaws for the wolves to have a chance this time :p
