Take the whole pool of people signed up. Assign each player a monetary value based on opinions from several knowledgeable members of the community. Assign each team an equal budget to spend on players. Then have a draft. After competition died in Unreal Tournament, this type of league was started, and it had like 10 seasons....all of them very successful. The only problem is that people will not necessarily be playing with their bff's, but with whoever ends up on their team. Not sure if the people in this community can handle that. And the other thing is that, of course, it will take some real effort to get everything set up, since each player has to be ranked/rated. But after this league, I have a feeling that most people will have a pretty good idea about how good who is....at least of the people that participated in season 1. And I highly doubt there will be many new people in season 2 that did NOT play in season 1. |
how about we all take a break til going rogue and see who shows up and what changes with the new APPs they're gonna be giving several ATs? (Not a leak. Convo with castle regarding defender issues in PVP - search-fu for more info)....
If I make it through this season without stabbing myself with a butcher knife while jumping off of a highrise I also won't be participating or running a season 2. By that I mean not in its current form.
The logistics of this was great. However I know I personally underestimated the competiveness of some people/teams. The term "winning isn't everything" has got to be the biggest lie ever told because it seems like most people feel winning is more important than having fun, integrity or anything else of any value. The time old tradition of having JV and Varsity teams play and score seperately should have been followed. Sadly though for some stupid reason we thought that the idea of helping and teaching new pvpr's was important enough to warrant coming up with a League that embraced the new pvpr's.
I don't know if the community will continue to run a Season 2 or not. I personally am planning on probably setting up a small ladder with seperate seasons of a total draft type league occassionally. Both of which will be set up to actually run themselves like the good old days.

This would be a horrible idea...you think the drama we had now was bad. Wait till you get a bunch of people together with huge egos that don' t really want to play together. It would just end up being really ugly. Picture this...me and barrier ending up on the same team. lolz |

I for one have had alot of fun and appreciate all the work you guys have put into it. Being an organizer takes up a huge amount of time and there are few rewards and "thank yous" for the time put in.
If there is a Season 2 or even a ladder of some type I'll most likely put a team together. I learned alot about the larger team PVP and would like to continue down that road.
Thanks PVPEC for doing this.

Well, it's not a horrible idea per-se. It's actually a really good idea. It just can't work in this joke of a community...you're probably right on that. The game's been out way too long, and some people have gotten way too large of egos to play for a team that actually has a chance of losing.

I was too lazy to go and retype this so I'm just gonna quote myself ftw:

Believe me when I say that there are "many" players out there that have learned and appreciated from this effort to bring PvP to the comminity. If the very intent of this league was to find more players, build more interest in PvP it has succeeded in doing that. |

Please dont let pvp events, whether 100% successful or those with its share of hitches fall apart do to lack of compromise. There are those hoping that a lot can come out of this experience. |
If there is no season 2...or some kind of revamped, reworked, revised event of some sort on this scale mixing hardcore/test pvpers and the casual pvpers, then I worry for the PvP community. Unless everyone is happy with the "current state" of things and are happy to battle the same people over and over.
Also...don't assume that only the players have their eyes on the outcome of this event as well. I'm sure the devs and moderators are looking in too.
Just my opinion. Please dont flame.

ib4 i hurd you waited > 24 hrs
I enjoyed the league. Learned A LOT. I'll be sad to see that most people just can't set aside their egos and find the FUN in this organized PvP event.
Ah well. Cie La Vie.

Seriously what negotiations? You asked for the DQ and got it. There is no longer a team to negotiate with and you saw that way before posting it so post as you know it to be rather than pussyfooting around. Gratz on your wins.|

meh personally idc but say it how it is dont be a ***** about it. It is what it is, it's done move the **** on or quit (which is what most did). Really the only thing to be done at this point is to learn for the future. The only thing i was bummed about was not being able to stay because so many on my team left that's been changed now.

Actually, I recall a Dark Brute going down once in one of our officials at the beginning of the match and disconnected before he respawned. We tried again in the 2nd or 3rd round and he refused to go down lol but you guys won the match anyways|
