So are we going with other servers or are we drunks going to just duke it out every week?

I've not PVPed much but would like to trot out my broadsword/regen to see if he's still current with the awesome sometime, soon as I've jammed in all the new IOs that is.

I have tentative interest as well, but I have a few questions.
First of all, I almost never PvP aside from a few recent SG duels, sorry if I ask anything too newbish.
Could SG mates sign up as a team? Additionally, in this scenario would it be possible to have subs. (ie. 4-6 globals sign up on a team, but only 3 show up to the match from the larger group).
Sorry for the odd questions, but this might determine interest by those in our 7-person SG.

In this league, there are no such things as "SG Mates." There are only "teamates." This is to encourage different teams and at the same time, it gives room for "more" people to form teams. Pinnacle isn't really big on population like Freedom is.
So we've gotta work with what we've got. A team of 3, for now, is the reasonable medium.
Also, I understand there are times people can't make the scheduled match, so with that happening, we were thinking of a re-sched, meaning within the missed match, the teams involved will make a decision whether to reschedule within the next week before the Sunday of the new matches, or just have a good forfeit. Now if the resched is agreed upon, and they still don't show prior to the Sunday of new matches, then it will be a forfeit on all teams, since agreement on all teams have been set.
Of course, these are all just tentative issues that still need a bit more tweaking.
On the note of having subs, the reason for now (subject to change btw), that I'm thinking subs won't be allowed is the amount of limited players we have. If we get a rough estimate as to how many teams and such, then perhaps we can go from there.
The goal, rather than fun and including new faces, is to create a "Football" type schematic. This won't run ALL the time, but 15-17 weeks of your year. Etc.
This would in turn, give players a whole year to team up, have more recruits, and hopefully invite more players to this league.
We want this PvP League to be the creme de la creme of PvP Leagues. If that happens, then more people will hopefully join, THEN, we can probably put in the substitutions and increase the roster size and then....AND THEN..........
EPIC BATTLES!! AND THEN...............WE WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!!!!!!
P.S: This is all tentative, but all your input are all welcome. Ninja and I have a base rule template we're working on now, and we'll post it up some time today.

Yeah I'd be interested.
Question: I run 2 accounts, JD&JD2, with toons spread across them both. A limitation on globals would kinda gimp my toon selection options. Can exceptions be made in advance for folks with multiple accounts?
[/ QUOTE ]
With dual accounts, the best thing for now (again subject to change) is to just register with one global, and if you have toons on your other account you want to use, then register both under one global. But, that's the set up for now. It is subject to change since what we're waiting for is a pretty decent number of players and teams alike, but for now, we gotta work with what limited number of people we have.

This is just me thinking out loud here but...
What if instead of registering by global we do it by team name?
Say 5 friends would like to join this.They name themselves "Team Freindly" Now each week 3 of the 5 actually do the match.What 3 depending on them.But once that weeks matches start theey can not switch.
Basically teams could bring what you want but your locked in once the matches start up.
This would also help deal with people and multiple accounts.
Also to go back to Hawks question.This is going to be a Pinn thing not a thing on test,right?
Anyways just throwing ideas around.
Yes, it's going to be a Pinn thing.
Subs are going to depend though, on the amount of people joining the League.
Basically, wanting to organize this like an actual "sports" team IRL. Where the roster is pretty fixed, however....
We might actually instate a "SUB POOL" where people that are on reserves, can sub for ANY team. So they are not registered on a team, but more of a "merc" type thing. IE: Team 4 has only 2 of their 3 man team show up cos the 3rd person had something come up, then a sub could be put in.
However, all will be put together soon. Like I said, these are all subject to change, especially with the increasing interest.
Ok, Me and JK have talked, sorry I didn't reply sooner...stupid hang overs...

Answer: Yes this will be allowed, when we start sign ups for teams (roughly in this week hopefully) you would sign up JD1 and JD2, and They both would be under your name James Donner.

Answer: Sure, if you have 3 SG mates that want to team together go right ahead. but they are you're team for the whole season. The reason we don't want 5 people on 1 team with only 3 fighting every week, is that the subs may never get to fight. Now there will be a genreal pool or list for Subs, which is explained a little better with the answer to your next question.
Answer: Ok we all know RL happenes, people get sick and can't make events. If someone can make it for a match there is 2 options:
1. To reschedual the match. All Matchs will be Sunday Nights 5pm PST. If one team has a teammate that cannot make it then the 2 teams can reschedual the match before the next weeks fight. This Gives 6 days to the team that has the odd man out.
2. After inital team sign-ups there will be a secondary sign up for people that are willing to sub for anyother teams. If a member of your team cant make it say due to a vacation or any other event, the team with the odd man will be able to ask any of the people in the Sub pools to help them out. Again anyone can add their global name to the Sub pool, you do not need to be on a team in the league to be a sub, it just will not garentee you a fight unless you are also part of another team on the league.

Right now seeing how this is a work in progress there will be only pinnacle, but this doesn't exclued other serves from creating their own league. In Fact we encourage it!. if all the servers had a league then we could even have a type of world series on test at the end of all the seasons.
Good luck with this.
I'll do my killing at my leisure, without organization or rules.

Very interested
I'd be interested,
Just need to make sure there would be a set schedule.

Ok,another idea...
If there was a entrance fee that everyone had to put up.Then when the tourney is done the winning team would get all the fees that was put up,
So say everyone has to put up 5million to enter.We have 10 teams of 3.The winning pot would be 150million.
The amount of course could be adjusted per input from people.
Anyways just an idea,what do ya'll think?
I like that. Not only are fun, bragging rights, and PvP recipes will be incentives, but also the purse of the final.
Also, I'd like to add an ALL STAR type of match, where after the "championship match" between the top 2 teams, all teams will participate in an all out brawl. Anything and everything goes.
Hey JK and Ninja, Ok I think I know of a couple 3 man teamss who are interested. Ill talk to you more in game as to where we need to sign up and such. Thanks for putting this togeather!! Xanth PS... Fa....U
Just tossing out ideas.
What leagues have done in the past is have a cap on how many people can be added to a live roster (which was normally 10 people with each of their accounts for a pentad ladder). After a set amount of time, that person was eligible to play for the team (about a week generally). That way teams can't bring in ringers or constantly have players moving between teams. You could sub people in and out after each match 'cause, really, people get upset, people have to leave, etc. That way more people on rosters get a chance to play.
Personally, the idea of a pool of free agents is a good idea but I doubt too many of them will get to play with any sort of regularity, which usually ends up dropping interest.
After weekly matches it'd also be fun to do scrimmages for practive or even have kickball if there's enough interest.

That would be plausible and actually be a good idea if we had more people. Once we have more people involved and get a rough estimate on which ones will be regulars, I definitely think having a "roster" is an awesome idea.
I know right now, it seems a bit restricted, but we are, after all, in Pinnacle. lol But, yes, I very much like that idea Alloric.
Sure, what the hell. Just pm me somewhere when you plan on starting, got a few toons that could probably hold in there.
The sign ups and the "regulations" is almost finished. Hopefully within today, we'll get it up and running so everyone has a clear idea.
