The Docks / The Black Sheep looks for members!

« on: August 03, 2014, 12:19:38 pm »

Welcome to the post! If you're here, I can assume you're interested in clans with cool names.

The Black Sheep is more of a team with a cool name! The idea is a team that anyone can join to scrim with the serious clans (And optionally actually stand a chance against them!) and that aims for effectiveness and proficiency at the game. Take it to the highest level we're able to, if you may. (Also, totally not a ripoff of The Black Cloaks. My idea predated them for a couple months, but I never got around to actually doing it  )

I'll gladly take in anyone interested in playing the game well or just learning something new. Unconventional strategies are not ruled out, either.

Feedback and Suggestions / Matchmaking question

« on: July 08, 2014, 07:28:25 am »

Will it come with a ranked ladder? Since most matchmaking systems already use a hidden rating, you could just make a queue you can join where it's, you know, not hidden.

Pros:
-Hardcore community would have a place to go train in all seriousness.
-Less stacks and stomping of the unexperienced.
-Less stacks against smaller yet big clans.
-This is a big one that would really help out: More player retention due to a feeling of progression that the game otherwise lacks. (And it's perfect that way, but you know, niche.)

Cons:
-Would need more mods and more of them to be readily available.
-All sorts of new moral dilemmas.
-Community might become a little worse. (Kinda like novice games already are, but extended.)

Feedback and Suggestions / Freebies on streams

So, you guys probably already know that most of the streams are watched by people who are already in the static playerbase when they're off tournaments and all that. Much like the Dev games give a free item to each member of a winning team, I just wondered if the casters could get a couple codes per stream to attract new viewers.

It could be a "Fastest typer wins" thing, where the streamer just says which item they're giving and whoever's interested gets to try their luck.
