From reading this thread it sounds like Arun has adopted it as his own baby and became the oracle of knowledge about it.

Let the thread creator answer questions posed to him please Arun. Even on this thread you have mistakenly or wilfully altered what the OP said. So I'd rather here from Mac than hear what you want this to be.

@ChrisCMU if you lose then you are out. If you want to join again thats fine, you will just need to asked to put your name back on the list.


@myhandisonfire. If you want to start a new clan with at least 3 other members and you are willing to put something that indicates this in your name then id be happy to let you join the list.

I think i will get a a few more of these going for non clan members. i think there has been enough interest

im just orgainising who will be playing from rp and ill send out the invite soon

Mac, REGL needs a short time to organise a team as well

Read the rest of the thread finally. Two thoughts:

1) You set minimums on the map (bonuses), but what about maximum amounts? I personally decline anything with more than about 300 territories. Just too big to play IMO.

2) This is pointless if you don't allow all clans to participate, regardless of how good they are. Unless you consider this the minor leagues (like the intercontinental belt in wrestling, if they still do that...been like 10 years since I watched).

If you don't like the idea of someone holding it forever make the retiring mandatory when you reach legendary status. Then don't allow that clan to challenge again for a period of time. You could also preset 10 (or whatever number) maps with settings and then randomly select one for the challenge so it isn't just out of the champion's wheelhouse.

@Hegja no worries.

@ChrisCMU:

1) I see your point, im not a great fan of larger maps either however i only really wanted to limit the minimum because the game would be pointless on a really small map with 8 players. Stategically it doesnt make any sence to not allow large maps because of 1,2 or a few peoples preferecnes. the whole idea is that the belt holder holds the advantage and chooses the map they wish

2) im not sure what you mean here. i want as many clans as possible to enter. there is no restriction on how good the clan is. in an ideal world all clans would put theit now down to enter

3) the idea was thrown around about setting certain maps but most people i have spoken to prefers the holder to choose them. im also not quite sure what you mean by not allowing the clan to challange again for a period of time. once you have won 10 games in a row i doubt you will want to add yourself straight to the list again so im not sure this is an issue.

I was pretty much referring to jsa's post about apex dominating and [P] not being in it. I wasn't part of the clan when he posted that, so I didn't know if he made that choice or wasn't invited.

As far as the limit, I am talking about the huge maps (like 2,000+ territories). They take a long time to load and hose bandwidth, especially if you are going mobile or taking some turns at work. Not to mention they take forever to play, especially with 8 people involved (and possible vacations). It would be really hard to make sure you are available and not going to slow the game down when the game itself could take a month. I am in some now that might take a week between turns, which can be a real downer when you are talking about this format (sort of a tournament).

hmm yes jsa's post doesnt make sense to me because its just like saying im not going to join any "normal" tournament where apex are involved because we wont win. That is of course his and [P]s choice but anyone clan is able to join

i see your point with the games taking ages, you are right, those type of games can take months. Putting a maximum limit on teritories is something im going to have to seriously think about

We should be at the bottom of the list, but don't put us on yet, we need to alter the team slightly.

After 1 1/2 months, I would like to shed light on my earlier statement :p What I was saying was that the best team will always win. That's why I didn't want [P] to join then. I was using apex as an example of one of the best clans. I still think the best team will almost always win though. If Chris wants [WG] to compete in it, thats fine by me but I don't think I will play in it because I am too busy and don't like 4v4's anyway. Good luck with it though :) I hope the tops team lose from time to time to make it more interesting.

I like the Idea!! But maybe it is unfair on small clans?
I suggest an idea.
3 Divisions like in Boxing!
HeavyWeight-Big clans E.G WM
MiddleWeight-Medium clans {101st}
LightWeight-Small clans {WorldWarDominance}

If this becomes popular i would suggest this idea it will be fairer on smaller clans and will increase interest for most clans!!
Thank you and good night!
G.M

.G.M. - I really don't see the logic behind your idea.. I strongly believe making no divisions is far fairer - (elitist clans tend to be "less crowded" while having a higher average skill of a member, while free4all clans have more people to choose from but less of them are good players - which sort of naturally balances the odds a bit) besides - i don't think [WM] is a "big" clan like you defined it.. we got 15 players if i remember correctly and if you didn't mean size but skill, then why should you prevent any clan from challenging any particular other?

btw i don't recall any WM member expressing will to brag for the belt for the time being ;)

I agree with Fridge. There are bound to be instances where a smaller clan knocks out a 'heavyweight' clan so it should be interesting. I hope this happens pretty often-perhaps smaller clans may surprise the community. With all the new clans popping up, we don't know exactly what their specialities are. Perhaps one of them plays loads of team games :D
