i do lol, and its just like 2 more matches anyway

I think this sounds like a good idea, could definitely stir the pot on a somewhat stagnant community

wow mid-level huh?  IDK if I can live up to those expectations 
Somebody might drop $10 for me, just be sure to check ebay first

Originally posted by WOPR-1 This is a good idea.  When Rico explained how he would do this a while ago it seems to be a good way to do it...he could explain it better than I.... but basically it's like a draft...every player gets a dollar amount a**igned to them...better players cost more money.  Captains are then picked and given a certain doller amount to spend, then they go round by round "buying" players...You could go and drop most of your cash on one top name...or spread it out and get 2-3 very good players....you have to balance it out. There's a lot of little things that would need to be worked out but this could work...have a short 'season' that ends in a tourney or something....

this seems very doable, already have a good skeleton of how things should be, it's only the small details that need to be thought out

i want this idea to work here are the things that need to be ironed out tho:

1. what mode/modes?

 

2. alot of ppl claim to have little to no availbitlity.. this is a huge problem

 

3. what size teams? i tink due to #2 that the teams should be small.. 3-4 people.. but i also understand its a draft and the whole scheme is kinda cheesy with only 3 people, so my opinion is 4 is a good number.. i think alot of people might want 5.. which isnt bad but the problem is if people dont show up.

 

4. this kind of relates to #2 also.. when to play? i kinda think a cool idea would be a league night.. or tourney night.. id rather know every week to keep my wednesday nights free then argue back and forth with teams over when the match will be held and never get it accomplished.

 

5. this also relates to #2, should EU players be grouped with US players or have their own teams? (timezones etc) where as they could play in their division and meet the US players in the finals?

 

6. game settings

I say that if this idea is going to work, it's got to be not too big of a number, but at the same time, it's also got to be more than 2vs2, otherwise there will be not point to the "dollar" system.  3 seems like too little, 5's just asking for no shows, and 6+ is definitely not a good idea, so Deadaim's idea is just right.  The point for the value system is there and at the same time, the chance for no show issues is a lot lower, though I'm sure there still will be no show issues.  Hmm, now that I'm thinking about it maybe us clans should consider having more matches with 3 or 4 players and maybe 5 or more, but only on the good days.  It could save a lot of headaches, when we actually do have matches.

either all modes or im not interested...

Originally posted by Drokun Originally posted by Deadaim   1. well this idea woolvie brought up, shouldnt be dependent on ricos idea that died long ago. i say the mode should stay open and voted on.   4. because setting up clan matches in ut3 is like pulling nails from my experience, from 90% of the clan match related threads i see etc.   5. yea , i think it should be up to EU players as far as how they wanna do it, with US or not.. but i was more referring to the timezone diffrence then ping issues   6. competetive settings is a vague term :) 1. He never let it die, he PM'd with WOPR and they figured they'd wait until the league is over? 4. The captain's responsibility I'd say, lol 5. Oh timezone, well we usually play matches at 5 Eastern which is 11PM for me and 10PM for UK guys 6. Basically, no big head mutator 1 cap 60 minute settings. imo they should pick a mode, all modes takes too long to complete

lol w/e phan keep on keeping on with bs hating..

Originally posted by Drokun I don't think a lot of ppl like tdm (I do, as long as it's nothing above 4v4).

more people play tdm than ctf its a fact, go look for yourself. but if its just 1 or two mades, its going to be silly and i dont want any part of that ****

Originally posted by WOPR-1 Yeah agreed that'll be the big argument wall there....the prices a**igned to players....would have to think about how to get that done in a way least prone to arguments....

What if you did something where players that are all-around would be the 'top tier' and players that usually just stick to one mode would be in the 'lower tiers'? Just an idea :)
