So about that MLG thing
Hillerton [PC]:
I have to agree with Skrim on the basis that it's hard to get people around (when it is specific people and not just 8 random Rydrs I need) and we can not really have them put their life on standby just cause someone challenge us (and obviously we can not do this). Unless ofc the challenge comes a month ahead or so, but I'm guessing more on a week ahead of time and so. So whit this system we would need an extremely dedicated group to a point where they might have to give up on real life obligations to complete it...
I say this as the Leader of Rydr so I have a seemingly endless supply of good players so I can for sure get some kind of team going at all times (or at least almost all the time) but what about smaller clans? I know of a few clans that during the HC tournament have needed to bring in subs as their own members could not make a set time how would they be able to meet a challenge?
Basically do we want only the gigantic and dedicated clans to at all do competitive or do we want the old system with some friends getting together and playing, cause lets face it that is what most of the clans are as non of us is getting payed to do this. So with the team heavy and really skill dependent game play of Icarus I really do believe we need more structured forms so that all 8 members of a team can take part and all teams can be their weary best.
PS apparently I agree a lot with skrim in this thread guess he has very sound opinions!
AbbyTheRat:
Challenging does not be ALL THE TIME EVERY DAY or so. In fact, I completely understand that teams can't. It's why I suggest fitting it in with scrims. If you have a scheduled scrim going on with another team, why not challenge them for that day? Put something on the line.
But, I agree, the subs rule is a bit too harsh for Guns of Icarus.

the biggest problem is cancellation.
I have tried this so many times.
Scheduling a week beforehand and then on the day get told that the other team have to cancel the scrim.
still today the teams that I organize with say that they cannot bring 8 players, but we find subs for eachother so that we can get to play. this is just not possible with MLG rules.
HamsterIV:
What if the teams signed up as individuals and shared the account? They could work the individual ladder with all the substitutions they need. From what I hear MLG is chronically adverse to doing work unless there is a lot of money involved. We probably got the same one size fits all system they have for Madden football and Counterstrike. Muse has spoiled us by listening and addressing our concerns. We can't expect all companies to work at their level.

now that's a really ugly workaround. No, I'd rather not use MLG.
