S33 Returning and new squads, info. Read.

[Caerbannog]

Ok so Season 32 is complete and you can read "all" about it in the other thread.. just over there.

 

Season 33 will start on the 10th of February.

 

Returning squads 4:

FTNguyen

Rebels

Llamas

StarFire Elite

 

Not returning?

thor - pretty much confirmed dead

Assassins .. told me they wouldn't return, other rumors tell me they might.

 

New squads 5:

Requiem - Three, Candyman - Sika, ozn, smurftra?

Alpha Reunion - OralIntruder, some alpha pilots (13)

Nuke - Dre ....

Shocktech - Amphitheater

Unhallowed - Death Artist

 

TOTAL: 9

-------------------

 

Now, here's the interesting part.

Some of you were previously approached by a certain SS persona, asking about the state of the league and all. Most of the captains that were contacted were apparently for a Captains' Council. (most of them were happy with the way our dead league is ran btw)

 

We're going to have it. Kind of. Maybe.

 

1. (Returning) Squads will appoint a person from their ranks to be a part of the council. (you can talk this over, but I'll take the nomination from any formiddable squad captain)

2. These people will be granted basic moderator rights on the bots, and will be assumed to somewhat adhere to the rules.

3. These people "council members", if you will, will somehow discuss and vote on league issues.

4. The first order of business to vote on would be;

Do we want to run this council, it will have to have some basic rules. I'll handle some part of drafting those up.

Do we want to allow members from new squads? (there's a possible loophole here to get 2 votes for yourself and just dissolve a squad later)

If we do want this council;

How long will the season be? What will the season format and play-offs format be? What will the roster lock rule and roster movement rules be?

---

Once those are out of the way (the sooner the better), we can point at the ship settings and tell the council to "fix" it.

 

Here are the very few rules for the council so far:

1. Council members have to vote by date X. Set on a case-by-case basis. Should they fail to do so, their vote is moot. Two misses and the member must be replaced.

2. Council members are mods on bots; thus they can now help with AFK caps and such ordinary issues. And fix certain issues on match days.**

3. Assuming an even number of votes, ties default to no change over whatever change the 2 members wanted. Why? Because no change is usually more acceptable.

4. You may not vote in any system to limit the free speech, even if most people are dicks, to prevent issues with banned players.

5. Ship settings are easy to fiddle with. "Game" settings that require bot interaction or rules still depend on Underlord. So I can't guarantee anything.

6. Ultimate overlord Caerbannog+ will provide the council with the current .cfg and .lvl files if necessary. I will also upload the final .cfg files if ship settings are changed. Besides that, I'll start bots and schedule games onto bots based on whatever the season format is.

7. If a council member changes squads, his or her status is revoked and the squad appoints a new member.

8. We need to find a way to control which issue is being discussed when, and how ofter you are allowed to bug the others with the same garbage.

9. The decisions might or might not be final, this is just a minor detail.

 

** might need actual arena mod for this too, which will be on a separate name.

 

I don't expect this to be much different from the open conversation type we've had on settings for the past... eternity. And to make it perfectly clear: I won't be on the council other than watching over them and maybe trolling their conversations with my knowledge, but I won't vote. Unless whatever squad I'm on actually appoints me as their representative.

 

HOWEVER. For this to work, we need to have the council members set pretty soonish (end of year). So they can decide on the stuff mentioned above by, say the first weekend of January. Longer off-seasons are bad for population. If it fails, I'll just start S33 that looks a lot like S32 did around mid-January.

[Candyman]

[7th Saga]

Captains

 

7th

Teddy

Digs

 

 

 

Hohohoho that would be elite. would it not?

[Caerbannog]

And you could call Requiem a returning squad, we want a seat on the council.

 

Oh I could. But you said you have no affiliation with thor.

I'll let the council vote on your fate. It's only fair.

[Three]

It was a given that Candyman was referring to Requiem as a returning squad to Pro League from many years ago. However different rosters from 1996 and 2012 may be.

 

If it wasn't clear, it is now.

One name so far. From a squad that isn't even sure to have a council spot.

 

?? Requiem - Ozn

 

(did not check messages left on "Caerbannog". Checked "Caerbannog+" though.)

[Odin]

A high-gainless Requiem...

 

Caer what's the deadline for new teams to sign up?

Somewhere mid-January / Superbowl sunday (feb 1st sunday, right=?) depending on various factors the council would yet have to set. Of course you can always toss a new squad into a fixed schedule too but..

[7th Saga]

who wants a council anyways? i doubt you'll find enough players who actually care to do something in a dead game. only people who showed any real interest are three, joon and ozn (baldorin love you guy). which are all on same squad. so only 1 would join

[Odin]

Council used to work before briefly and that wasn't even officially sanctioned. It's not that hard to vote and get word out.

[Three]

Not sure on that one just yet.

That's not entirely true. Or a sneaky snake gave me falsified info.

[Death Artist]

Is it possible to have "inactive roster", where you could field only one in a game? Meaning active roster plus one. That could be good for bringing in old school players who only want to play once in a month.

 

Is there any "euro rule" anymore, where we wouldnt have to play after midnight?

#1 can't pick #2, traditionally since picking your opponent was introduced.

And I'm not wondering about any such thing. Good post, though.

lol the easy way out? you do understand that the winners play each other? its just like any league ever set up. you have top seeds facing lower seeds. fotoball, baseball, basketball, etc... almost every playoff system is this way.

[Caerbannog]

So the story so far...

Requiem would have a council member ready. StarFire Elite would have a council member ready (but rather prefer no council, or change to the general setup). The other squads remain passive.

 

Assassins haven't confirmed their return. Dre is attempting to make a yet unnamed squad. Amphitheater hasn't gotten back to me with a squad name either.

 

I'll try to figure out how many squads we have going into this and set some preseason matches for the confirmed squads for next weekend..

[Death Artist]

Unhallowed signing in.

 

We have roster size of 10 atm, and likely to be 13 soon. Tell me if you need more info.

DA

[Thor]

Can unhallowed be added to the bot ASAP to build roster thanks.

[Amphitheater]

[Caerbannog]
