Sounds like fun. I'm just popping in to say that I hope you take Powerneg's suggestion above. It might avoid some confusion.

right, only problem is i cant change the thread name, i will create a new thread right before season 1 starts, but the name will be something like, 1v1 ROTATING TEMPLATE prom/relegation league... Im not the best at names, anyone else have an idea?

Could somebody post the link to the template here?

I am in.

http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer.aspx?TemplateID=329385 will be the template used for season 1

Rating on Strat 1v1 doesnt mean much vs Guiroma 1v1.. Ask Pinky Apex im good at guiroma. But i guess id be fine with winning tier 2

[Checks blockade card and number of armies for in-distribution neutrals]

yes

Ask Pinky

You asked me to make a comment about your Guiroma skills, so here 'tis. What you want me to say is "you're great at Guiroma". Here's the truth: you're terrible at Guiroma, ya little slut. Yer make me sick.

I'm in.

You could also make the first rotations group be random, then put the top two people in each group in group a, 3 and 4 in group b, etc. That's how chokecherry did it.

yes, that is the reason for the poll on the previous page, http://poll.pollcode.com/isbx1 so people can still see it instead of having ot go to a previous page

I'll only play if the groups are divided solely on skill. Don't let that influence your decision on it, I'm just letting you know so you don't sign me up accidently if I'm not interested. I think have a chat with myself, Frank, Gnuffone, and yourself, and we can decide the groups in the chat. I know me and Gnuffone both know a lot of players in the game and can give an accurate idea of their skill level, and I'm sure Frank could too.

the groups of the a competition like this should not be decided by how good you think a player is, but how they have actually performed in previous competitions. Since this is a new competition, it should be random groups.

not gonna participate, but you shouldnt be unfair to other players and immediately assume they're good or not good.

the groups of the a competition like this should not be decided by how good you think a player is, but how they have actually performed in previous competitions.

Then let's assign them to groups based on how they have performed in previous tournaments, ladders and games. Don't be thick, it isn't in anybody's interest to have better players in lower groups, and vice versa. Everybody would rather play people of a similar quality.

No, there shouldn't be higher or lower groups at all, or at least not for the first tourney anyway. For the first tourney, all groups should be equal. Look at the football champions league, you dont see teams assigned to groups depending on the number of times they've won the cup, its all random.

But If there should be a decision about who gets into which group in the end, it should be a vote by all the players participating, not just by the 3 or 4 that jsa think is the best.

lol, they have seeding in champions league, and dont let teams from the same country play each other. on your bike

Pulsey, YOu aren't even playing, so keep out of it. I don't understand why you are trying to mess up the league and make there be less competition in Group A.

Pulsey, Gnuffone, myself, and Frank are three of the best players in the game, no doubt about it. We have proven ourselves numerous times. All of us know many players in the game and have organized events with lots of players before or at least helped with it.

And like X pointed out, you have no idea what you are talking about so just stay out of it.

perhaps they do, pink. but it still has nothing to do with skill.

if everything is decided by 3 players here it seems rather like communism here, rather than democracy.

anyway, be careful, jsa! your arrogance is beginning to show again! Like how could have reached #1 on the ladder with scorched earth if you just concentrated but ended up pulling out at 1549? ;)

dont underestimate people. but anyway, this is seahawks's competition, no need to jab your finger in and tell him to consult your mighty advice beforehand. he can do whatever he likes.

I will play.

Pulsey the Drunken Noob, I'm fine with everybody voting, it's just a lot more work and it's easier just to have a few players who know most of the players vote rather than people who might not know any of the other players.

I don't consider it arrogance when it is obvious I could have done it. Would I have if I decided to stall games on the 2v2 ladder? I would have easily. Would I have if I did not stall any games on the 2v2 ladder? There is a good chance of that. I was 5-0, would have beaten you and Z-Dog had I not quit the ladder and got booted. I also was in better position than dreuj and brisk after picks, I just lost concentration in the game. So I could have easily been 7-0 and had a 1900+ rating. So, is it arragonce when I am stating a fact that there is a good chance I would have taken the #1 spot? I think not.

Who am I underestimating? I can think of only one person in the last 3 months I have underestimated and he beat me in the game we played because of it :)

Did I jab my finger in? No, I told him what I would do. If he chooses to do a vote by everyone instead, that is completely fine by me and I would not have one problem with it. He was the one who stepped up to lead this league. If he decides to do it random, like you are telling him to, I won't argue with him about it, I just won't play in the league. I have already lost a lot of interest in warlight lately and am getting tired of playing players that I can beat 90%+ of the time. I would rather just play players that can beat me without having to get very lucky.

tldr,tldr, don't spam petty mortals like me with long paragraphs convincing me of your skill and innocence. Such things can only be understood by people as great as you, like gnuff, frank, pink, the people in your group of 'top players.'

it rather happens that i'm not the only petty mortal to disagree with your ego, but then again we're inferior people, and you're the God of Warlight, part of the sacred group of warlight along with gnuff and frank, so you must be right and everyone must be wrong. All hail Jsa! The God of Warlight! The Player who could have reached #1 on all ladders if only he tried! How merciful of him! All hail the King!
