Still looking for more people since some of these people may not be able to show every match, everyone in my team will be played. -
I am still trying to form a team,
At the current moment my team consist of 5 players
Anyone joining my team will receive adequate gaming time. I just want to have fun compete and learn regardless of a win or lose. I do not want any rage quitting if you join the league, rather have people that know this is just a game and have fun
.
You can PM me on forums if you are interested, or reach me on game @Artic Keeper

So basically if you do get drafted you will be played is now what I am hearing. I thought all draftees had to be picked up and there for getting stuck benched if they were the 11th or 12th or whatever that's how I understood it but ok, I got it now sorry.

And what I'm saying is that it is a non issue as the captains won't draft someone they don't want to play. Why is this a difficult concept? My God man.. I'm an insufferable carebear and even I don't see the rainbow pony block that's stressing you out.

1.Quote:1. TrueOriginally Posted by Silit
Why Bud's league is being used as a staple for anything is beyond me. That **** was an enormous joke.
2. Also, please direct all hate/angst/complaints/questions regarding the absence of "entitled to play for any team" rules at WARE.gov - Vinnie and I were the ones who suggested it be this way (it was received unanimously at the rules discussion).
3. It has nothing to do with being hardcore or competitive - quite the opposite. It will be a cold day in hell before I tell anyone on my team to sit for someone that none of them even want on the team. Every player on my team was ASKED to be on it.
4. Why should Spiner or Klesk have to sit out for someone infinitely less talented and infinitely less liked by our team just because we HAD to draft them and they HAPPENED to end up on our team?
5. I won't call myself a good player, but Vinnie actually enjoys playing with me - which is more than 99.9% of the community can say - so clearly I'm doing something right. I certainly didn't get good because teams HAD to play me. If I got good, it was because teams started WANTING to play me.
6. We didn't have to play Seethe in our d8 matches - we wanted to. Just like PoWT didn't have to play Venatrix in their d8 rounds, but she started in pretty much every official.
7. We WANT to play all 10 of the people on our roster - and we will WANT to play any player that we decide to draft. There will be no extras, liabilities, or bench warmers on our team.
8. I don't know what possesses people to think that they should somehow be entitled to play for a team - especially in a league format with an entered roster. Why should someone who we never would have allowed onto our roster get to play over everyone that we specifically asked to play for us? It's absurd.
2. That's fine
3. If it's not suppose to be a hardcore or comparative league and just for fun then why would you bench someone eternally, If they are coming to practices and showing effort?( I am not trying to be smart here)
4. I think maturity comes to play when you are forced to be on a team with someone you don't like
5. The same result could be achieved by a draft
6. Ok cool
7. That sounds fine, but again this goes back to 3 if this has nothing to do with being hardcore or competitive why not pick up someone you don't know who may end up being good?
8. Fair enough that is why I am forming my own team, or trying to. -
Quote:Okay I understand the whole thing now and opologize to Masque. But to be honest It still does not change my reasoning to stay in draft.Originally Posted by Phillygirl
The way you worded it it seemed like a negative on Masque when, as he said, he was only trying to make the best of a bad situation and get some friends off of a team where they wheren't wanted. Bud had already made the trade Gfunny just went for more by asking for money on top of the players. I had forgotten about Elf Stalker he traded himself and another off his team and left them floudering.
Captains should never be able to trade themselves it's BS. -
Just so that everyone has it clear I am trying to start my own team.
Our team consist of 3 people currently.
If you would like to help fill up our team It would be greatly appreciated.
Send a tell to @Artic Keeper if interested.
We are looking for people who have a good head on their shoulders and wont rage quit if we end up loosing. -
Quote:I already said on the forums that I was going to try to start my own team. Only thing I am arguing is that Draftees should not wait to be drafted, if the possibility maybe, that they may not get adequate playing time.Originally Posted by SmokeSignal
Fact is that captains do not have to keep drafting if they don't want to. So they will only have people on their team they either want to play, or think have potential.
If you're still concerned you can start your own team and guarantee yourself playing time.
The old leagues are done and are now meaningless.
I don't see the issue at this point. -
Quote:I was trying to leave you out of this Philly, but thank you for backing me up.Originally Posted by Phillygirl
Bud also negotiated his own trade. I actually told artic Bud negotiated his own trade of himself and couger i think?, and G funny charged/Masque paid 2 bil on top of it all.

Quote:1. Ok, so I apologize for not getting all the facts I thought that I was being told by a reliable source. This still does not argue the fact that if a draftee gets drafted they may not playtime regardless of talent. All I'm trying to say is that the captains can basically do what they want, so why take a chance to not play? I rather try to make a team or be on a team where I know I will get playing time, sorry I just want to have fun.Originally Posted by MAD UMLAUTS
1.I should probably recorded the whole convo when i was idling on the PoN vent where GFunny said all he cared about was getting some inf and Elf Stalker was negotiating his own trade.2
Also you keep implying that you are good when you are farmable on a tank. Stop.
2. I will agree with you I am quite horrible on my tank sorry to disappoint.
I can name plenty of so called pvp vets that are quite farmable targets as well but I wont point fingers cause that's a bit trashy.

Started this thread to keep other one from being derailed. If you have any thoughts on what said on the other thread let me know.

I have to ask, how do you buy your way into the starting line up of a PvP team?

Quote:I am starting to see that and definitely agreeOriginally Posted by Daknah
Boot camp means nothing. No good players endorsed that so don't feel you put in your grind to become a pvper just because cherry taught you how to heal. Everyone that participated in any boot camp should get to kick the host for wasting their time.. All I was trying to do there, is give why certain people feel the way they do and I think they are more then entitled to feeling like they been screwed.

Keeper you seem to like numbers:
1) You got your facts twisted.
2) Gfunny demanded money or he wasn't going to free up Psyrene, Philly and CK who all wanted off his team.
3) I paid so that my friends wouldn't have to deal with him.
4) If you are still mad about the champ league don't get trolled by vex this time.
5) glhf.
1. That is not how I heard it, but anyway not trying to get into the whole, you say this and other people say that. Even if you are right your basically making yourself sound dumb. You paid for other people to be on your team so that they can be happy hmm that sounds no different then paying for one of your friends to have starting spot on a team so that they be happy regardless of talent.
2. So basically you paid to see that your friends would be happy hmmm.. Sounds to me that they should have just toughed it out imo.
3. As for trolling I can handle my own and everyone that has met me knows this. I never left the league do to Vex I left it do to Retarted moves made by your part.

Quote:1) I guess I can see your point but here, but in all honesty I've been in a league with you as captain and I think you were one of the worst; being bought off by people to trade people. What is to say someone like you does not get paid, to have one of their players rise into a the starting line ups.Originally Posted by The_Masque
Keeper-
1) I understand your desire to play in matches, but in any competitive game you don't just let someone who hasn't shown himself to be dedicated or up to par with the rest of the field play.
2) Getting wrecked doesn't really teach you anything other than "oh yeah this is where my spawn point is". You would be better off coming to practices, KBs and trying to learn evasion routes, how not to plant, how to not use auto follow, how to watch your buff tray (I'm not saying you do/do not these things, I'm saying its the very basics).
3) I don't get why people have this sense of entitlement, I signed up YOU MUST PLAY ME. Thats a perfect way not to get drafted. If you were to say "hey guys I'm willing to come to practices and try to learn how to be a part of the team" I think you would be far better off.
4)Having said that- in the bud bowl, you were on Rice's team you did show up to almost every practice, you did try your best to play your stalker/tank in the roles we needed you too. Be that guy again, I actually liked how hard you were trying back then and saw you progress a lot.
5) As far as my comment about teams of new players not lasting- if you go back and look at most of the recent leagues teams made up new people to pvp almost always drop out of the league because they get in over their heads- eternal pain was a good example of this. You do need some sort of leadership or at least an idea of what a team is throwing at you and for that you need some vet players to show you the ropes.
2) You can learn allot from a league even when getting your butt kicked so you sir are wrong, and thx for tips but they are things that I already have already been doing.
3) I personally never said that I am entitled to get playing time but as far as people who dedicated themselves to PvP boot camp, I surely believe they have earned their right to be in officials, regardless of how you feel they did in the bootcamp. The point of the bootcamp was to learn pvp basics and to be played in future leagues, and I don't think its anyone's fault if most of their team rage quit and they stuck it out costing their team to look awful do to lack of players.
4) Thank you
5) I do not have to look back at other previous teams to know that there will be rage quitters, but guess what people still stuck it through. Your right you do need some sort of leadership to keep a team together this is pretty basic stuff... As far as PvP Vet experience goes would love to have some be on my team, but that does not mean that I want to go to a draft where all I will pretty much be doing is getting on practices competing for a spot that may pretty much be reserved for a friend or like I said before a person buying there way into the starting line up...

Quote:No the facts are that the Captains can decide to not play someone regardless of their talent, and there by choosing friends over talent.Originally Posted by hemmingway3
In general, captains will play people who are reliable and skilled players*. If that does not describe you, then you know why you may not be played, but if it does describe you, then what do you have to worry about?
*if that even exists in CoX

Quote:Exactly my point.Originally Posted by Smallzies
You "new people" or w/e, should just make your own team & then you can choose to play or bench yourselves as you wish if you're that worried about it. Boosh.
Just having problems right now getting people so hoping to join up with Emo Bitter. If I cant get enough then I will just not be playing. BOOSH!! -
Quote:Let me reiterate what I said before.Originally Posted by PowerFlame
just for putting yourself out there and joining up says alot even if your new or a returning vet to this style of pvp. its not about being played, your skill or who you know. its about having fun. practice or officials its all the same thing - arena 8v8 format pvp. you all have the option to play for any team just by contacting the captains and talking to them and proving yourself over the next guy for whatever lineup/stradegy the team is running or practicing.
there is nothing to be said when you are put to the line and have to perform just like the rest. step up and prove yourself, take critisizm and keep rollin.
good times cya in arena.
2.Your right but the fact that you have the possibility to be picked up by someone that will never play you regardless of how much you improve sounds pretty lame to me.

Quote:1.I just want to say that you must be joking, of course we want playing time. Sorry that we don't want to be punch dummies for certain practices. We are trying to join a league not some PvP boot camp.Originally Posted by The_Masque
But what I'm saying is, their desire may not be in their best interest.
1) Getting 'game' time shouldn't be the focus of their attention at this moment. If that truely is their belief...wow...?
2) How many people started off in pvp playing in every match. You pretty much had to earn that right.
3) I still say telling new players to pvp to form a team is a bad idea, they won't last.
2.Your right but the fact that you have the possibility to be picked up by someone that will never play you regardless of how much you improve sounds pretty lame to me.
3. I think that essentially ALL people want to play, so why would you say that forming our own teams be a bad thing? We would still gain experience from it. You say new people wont last? If you mean wont get far in the league, then i'm sure your right, but if you are implying that they would not last on a team together you are being quite presumptuous and should surely take a hike with that statement.
