Wish I could be there but I'll most likely be home at the end of the conversation so...good luck on all of that.
I'll always be a "Champion" at heart. My server away from home.

o if you want to play a villain Archetype or an ancillary power set you must discuss it with your team leaders (adjustments will be made to suit you; time permitting)
Ø Players that are competing in the event CANNOT miss more than 2 weeks unannounced without a chance of being dropped from that teams roster. This is to ensure stability among competing teams.
Ø This event is designed for new players who are willing to gradually learn PvP throughout the 6 weeks of camp.
o If you are a little more experienced in PvP and want to join the camp, then you can join the event. However, if you are interested in being a mentor please do not hesitate to sign up!
Ø Sportsmanship will be key for individuals wanting to participate. For newcomers it is crucial that their PVP experience is fun and entertaining. So it is up to every individual member to keep a high moral attitude throughout this event. Poor sportsmanship will only deter and neglect accomplishing our goal. We understand that not everyone approves of every one, so bring it upon yourselves to /ignore a participant if needed. If things get out of hand, then the team captains will determine if the participant should be pulled from the league.
Format of Event
Ø Matches will be on : Sunday nights @9:00est

That equates to 6 captains, 12 mentors, and 30 new players. Obviously the size of the league is dependent on how much interest is shown. We will be leveling and earning our accolades our characters as we progress through the event, like a static team.
Ø ONCE THE TEAMS ARE BALANCED, YOURE CAPTAIN AND MENTORS WILL DISCUSS YOUR STRENGTHS AND INTERESTS FOR WHAT TYPE OF ROLE YOU WANT TO PLAY. IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR TEAM TOGETHER TO OBTAIN LEVELS AND ACCOLADES, YOUR CAPTAIN WILL DETERMINE WHICH SIDE (villains, PRAETORIA, HEROES) BEST FITS YOUR TEAMS needs.
Ø The season will last for only 6 matches (Note: we may be taking breaks for Holidays.). The matches will occur at different levels throughout your training until the last match for which you will be level 50. Matches will occur at these levels: 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, and 50. (no exceptions)
o If necessary turn off your experience under options, if you are above level your are not allowed to compete in the match
Ø once this league has reached its end it will be followed up by a lvl50 league for graduates & new signups
Prizes
Weekly prizes will be awarded by your Team Captains, what the prizes are may vary from team to team, but each captain is provided with a budget for the entire 6 weeks.In addition, prizes will be awarded at the end of the event as follows.
(!! Note: there are chances for gold titles !!)
Individual awards1. Most Improved Full set of 6 Apocalypses

Hopefully by the end of the meeting we can put something on paper and get the PvP ball rollin'! Peace. |

Workaround I used:
Log into a guildportal site under whatever your guildportal is, then just head to the Cape website and click "Join". Worked for me after a while.

Well I don't have any open slots for this league so I guess I am out. Good luck to you all and have fun.
Quote:
I noticed in your list of characters you had some low lvl 1's. While i understand lvling a new toon is a bit of a frustration, you could always re-roll 1 of your lower 1s and perhaps get some additional benefit from teaming and learning with some really great, super fun people. Just a thought |

I also wanted to make sure it was clear on a couple of points..
The approach here is 1 of a "crawl,walk,run"..
A lot of people, myself included, have been eager for decent pvp on champion. I have characters that are io'd out and accoladed, Ive done 1 formal league with champion and try to make the kickballs. When I was part of the formal league we had, despite it being a total disaster outside of my team, Those of us that were new did learn some things. BUt im still left with characters that in all actuality i really have no real clue how to use them (outside of pve). And im ok admitting that.
The decision was made to foster pvp along on this server and not continue the same decisions of just throwing a league out there for players to join, no matter the skill lvl. People wont learn the basics like that. Its also frustrating for the vet pvpers to basically be stuck in a mentor position when they really just wanted to come and pvp. While that kind of league and pvp is totally great, it still misses 80% of the player base that wants to learn pvp and not just have frustrated team capts shout things on vent they just dont understand. Then what happens is the player gets frustrated, loses interest in pvp and then only see's the negative crap that goes on and ends up wanting absolutely nothing to do with pvp.
This basic traning leagues purpose is start by a crawl, move into a walk by having pvp matches a long the way, learning more basics as we level up, and end with a run by having lvl 50 matches and then moving onto an actual PvP League filled with lvl 50 players on toons they have a good understanding of and how pvp is actually fun and competitive for us all, and not just the select few people. All done in a way thats hopefully fun.
C.A.P.E, at the end of the Basic Training period, will then come back together and form up an official "Champion PvP League".
Id also like to say that this isnt just for noobie pvpers... Its for anyone of any skill lvl to come out, enjoy some teaming, doing some low/mid/high lvl pvp, earn some monies and prizes a long the way, and just have fun. Ultimately thats really what gaming comes down to.
tl;dr version ; Lets learn some pvp, wreck faces, and have some fun.

could not have said it any better, perfect wording.
Wow! After other league got lack of support. I won't be joining this. G.l and I'm done to do some arena match outside the league and all.

There is an old saying, that folks "vote with their feet" and so there are reasons why the other league had no support. I suspect the CAPE league will be managed a little more fairly than the previous ones. GL-HF at your arena matches.

A) PvP
B) Making PvP Rules
C) Is easily trolled
D) Is a cry baby (See point C)
Edit: Anyone who even remotely tries to refute what I said is lying to themselves and everyone else.
Remember the match with 4 thermals VS 1 Stalker, 1 Pain Dom, 1 Sonic/EM, and 1 Psy EM? Remember when there was 4 minutes left someone just flat out rage quit?
Yeah. 'nuff said.

Non-stop drama about drafts, teams, sportsmanship and non-stop voting. I swear I spent more time voting than I did PvPing.

Oz is right. There were too many rules, last one was non-stop drama when all we really needed to decide was which maps/powers to ban and match times/lineup submissions. Oh, and roster allowances.
