Guns of Icarus - League

<< < (6/22) > >>

Thomas:
.......

So a lot of these teams aren't competitive, a few of these clans don't even have enough active members for teams, and a few of them are just about completely inactive. There's a big difference between a clan and a competitive team.

We have maybe 8 teams who show up in the SCS consistently. Larger events tend to pull in more teams of course. I think the Hephaestus had the best turnout of any competitive event, and that was only 14 teams or so? And a good portion of those are no longer around.

On your site, I think I've seen only about 3 teams or so currently registered?

Pauldron Friks:
Sure ! That's why they can provide one crew and find another one to play with.

KitKatKitty:
This list seems extremely ambitious. You should probably contact the clan lead or team lead for each of these clans before assuming they will be able to join. As much as Sac likes this idea we are currently not playing competitively.

VVhite Angel:
This was a list of probability clans that are in the number able to join.
In reality maybe some of them won't :)

About match moving (LogHalley) we can think about sunday before SCS, or after. Depending on another team, we will use Doodle tool for schedule this kind of situation.

Of these teams listed, the only ones that have ever participated in anything competitive are: Grim Reapers, Cake, SPQR, Crimson Sky Menace, Clan Clan, Sacrilege, Bards in tandem with Star Bubbles to make StarBards, The Brotherhood/Hydra (same clan/team), The Bully Boys, Clan Not Found, Wings of Daedalus, Zill's Merry Men, Gentlemen, and Ryder. For the sake of the argument, I'll also toss in Ducks because you didn't include them. So of your 30+/-, we've narrowed down the list to 14 clans and competitive teams. 

Of these: Grim Reapers have disbanded/gone inactive/are dead for the most part. Cake, Sacrilege, Clan Not Found, The Bully Boys, and Zill's Merry Men's competitive teams have all been disbanded for one reason or another (or at the very least, they aren't active in any of the recent events in the competitive scene). Clan Clan, The Brotherhood/Hydra, and Crimson Sky Menace have teams that are starting to come back I believe, though I'm not sure about any activity they have in a tournaments.

This narrows any teams that would "more than likely" participate in any competitive tournament to SPQR, StarBards, Gentlemen, Ryder, and Ducks, so 5 teams. Now, obviously, any of the clans/teams either I or you mentioned could join this League. But yes, your initial list was far too ambitious.

While this seems like a good idea at first, it really falls apart when you consider just how complex a successful Guns of Icarus competitive team has to be. Very rarely has 2 clans coming together been successful in any event. The only examples that come to my mind are the Crimson Sky Ryders, Holy Roman Army, and more recently StarBards. The catch, is that all of these teams organized outside of the competitive events that they participated in, as opposed to being thrown together by the event organizers. Most seriously competitive tournaments require a team to be 8 people because of the organization required in the team for it to be...well, competitive. If you take 1 ship of 4 people and throw them with another ship of 4 people that they've never played with before, and then make them face someone who has a full team of 8 well organized people, on 2 communicating ships. Its not going to be much of a competitive match. Frankly speaking, its going to be a walk-over. So while the idea of signing up "half" of a team, or 1 ship/4 players, is a nice idea of getting more people involved, realistically in an actual competitive tournament they're not going to stand much of a chance against any of the well organized teams of 8 players/2 ships. And even if you have it so teams that are made up of 2 half combined teams fight only other teams made up of 2 half combined teams, its not going to be very interesting to watch, its going to be a pub-styled match with little organization  on the respective teams.

Just an opinion.
