Freedom PvP League (No, really. Lets do this)

Though Tox's ladder post is more or less a joke, there are at least 2 relatively stable "rosters" that have been pvping each other. Now that the remnants of dUmb, PE, and a few other sgs are packing their bags for the lolfest that is Freedom, we might as well run a ladder and try to get some free months of play from whatever moderator is supposed to be supporting this "community." Just using the standard mix of i12 ladder and current arena settings, it shouldn't be that bad.

Hero/Villain mixed ladder
3 10 minute 8v8 matches. Team 1 chooses first map, Team 2 second, 3rd is random.
Small insps only, HD off, TS off, DR on. No cage, no caves.

We might want to cap roster size at 15-20 people (not accounts), but not really necessary.

Not sure how to do the rankings, but we could just use the old 1 spot up on victories system

Other rules to consider are not allowing player/toon swaps after a player joins a match to counter an unexpected lineup ("pulling a Renegades"). The only delay before letting new people play with a lineup should probably be if they just jumped from another group on the ladder, and even then its probably ignorable.

Any ideas are definitely welcomed. Also, I don't mind PVPEC sponsoring and promoting the ladder, so long as we retain organizational control over everything.

I do ever so hope those Justice elite pvpers will transfer over to Freedom and prove to us their quality is better (and no, we won't turn off travel powers for you).

I think I have the original setup for this (not positive though, I know the threads we had all the rules worked out on is past history when the new forums came out) but I personally just don't have the time to run it any more Sneaky. So unless Peril is interested I would say we will probably pass on running it but support it in any way that we can.

You will notice I said promote and sponsor, but specifically said not running. Ideally we could have PVPEC harass the various servers about its existence, make their flier dealies, and browbeat whoever the devs are now into allowing for some sort of awards to the winning groups. The actual organization and running of any type of ladder I would not want in the hands of anyone except the pvpers participating in it.

Wow, really? Ty for being kind enough to offer the right to do the grunt work though, much appreciated. Either way I don't have time to commit to it so its up to Peril if he wants to take on being the official promotion poster-boy or not. "If" he does I will make the time to handle getting prizes once the details are sorted out.

oh yeah, and no full dark/dark defender teams.

oh and only 1 sonic per team too.
oh yeah, 1 storm max per team.



how is this is not fiteclub, again?

I dunno go to siren's call to the ne corner or the hds and see if that looks different than an 8v8 arena match...if it doesn't then you're right.

Big egos, fake rules, yup seems pretty similar.


Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

>.> Don't bite my head off. I'm just posting an idea I've had for awhile. I've always wanted to participate in an organized PvP League for some time. I ran one in Pinnacle for a time, and it was pretty alright. I just wished there were more participants, and with the way things are now, it seems Freedom is the best server to get something organized going.

I was thinking along the lines of breaking it up into Divisions. Therefore, every type of PvPer is covered. These are just ideas I've had floating for quite some time. Feel free to destroy them or add to them or build on them if you want. Like I said, they were just ideas.

Divisions

Ultimate 1v1
All ATs can participate
Tier 1 insps only
Arena Temp powers allowed
DR on
HD on
TS off
No spawn camping

Ultimate 2v2
Same rules as 1v1 except the fact that there can not be repeating ATs. This ensures fairness and variety.

Ultimate 3v3
See above

Ultimate 5v5
See above except this this time, instead of no repeating ATs, you can just say no more than 2 of the same ATs.

Ultimate 8v8
Same as the 5v5


NOTE: I can not stress enough these are just ideas that's been floating around my head for quite some time. I'm not a "veteran" as most of you are, but I do have a pretty good grasp on the mechanics of our current PvP system. I know it's a lot of work, but if it does take off, it'll be a lot of fun. Have little purses or even have a scheduled match and mid carders and such like they do for MMA and Boxing and stuff. People would flock and watch the fight.

I'm sure from the current perspective on PvP, it's not even worth trying, but essentially, something organized would definitely be a lot of fun. Again, these are just ideas. OH, and for lulz, lemme add this last division.

Fiteclub Division Tru Warrir Roolz!
Any ATs
No insps
TS on
HD on
DR on
Don't move around.


NOTE 2: Also I realized people have big rosters, so I guess for a 5v5 and 8v8 you can increase roster size to plug in subs and what not. Not sure how that'll work, but I'm sure people can figure it out.

different rules, the same set of principles.

instead of looking for a melee duel in siren's NE corner, you're asking for a team duel with conditions that tilt it towards the side of anyone who cannot time an 8 stalker shark attack (hey, welcome to i13+, low skill requirements are low skill requirements) because you don't wanna fight something that is obviously above your standard toon roll-up. (standard blaster jump team vs. eight stalkers).

can we ban power boost too? i mean, if there's anything that comes to close to ranged crit spikes from stalkers is pb stuns from dominators, sonic|rad/pain corrs and sonic/em blasters, right?

same ****. different people.

sorry miss/jimmay, but i'm reading that as an elaborate version of "stand and fite liek tru warrir".

ties happen.
and secondly, it's not like we can really get rid of sudden death anyways.

when Spec got the ladder rolling again doing 5v5 we had an inital kick off tourney. Rpvp brought 5 stalkers against Renegades and hid the whole match. Only time they tried to attack was when spec stood there in his bubbler in pff (he was hoping they would try to as and destealth, forgetting that a missed as no longer causes destealth).
