TBD Tournament after SL

[wolf'j'max]

ya with 8-10 clans per mode that's retarded. Even if it attracts players, there's a lot of other stuff to put into this game than a clan system.

What kind of stuffs?
New color on planes?
A new dumb mode game like ball?
Change colors of the bombs on shared maps?

ya lot of stuff to put in this game...

the point is, that a clan system will not attract new players. New graphics, fancier sounds. Better looking UI. all that kind of stuff will.

who says we need to attract new players? the point of this should imo be to have a more even league system, not to attract new players. lets not fool ourselves in thinking we can 'save' tbd. only like 30% of the community actually likes tbd so all the new players get sucked into ball anyways.

Can always try. I'd rather try and save TBD than expanding the competitive base.

[evilarsenal]

lower roster cap, keep tbd around, 6 teams atleast every season is better than no league so yar... also, maybe a new mode? team deathmatch could have potential, and should be a good additional section for ladder

[Knipchip]

IMO it doesn't really matter what we do as long as we have some sort of a weekly 'pro' league going on. I've been seriously thinking about quitting altitude (its either one or the other) because TBD is dead and ball won't get removed from the game (which has turned this game into something it essentially is not). If we always have a clan based league going on AND do this, ladder might as well become a little more... less dead. Also, this might make almost all active tbd players nowadays come to realize they suffer from the pub syndrome and should play tbd ladder as well in order to improve. It shouldn't really matter ladder would become even more of a joke.

Also: mooooore high-level clans.

[classicallad]

TD has a deathmatacg server with a rankings system and from time to time its popular, imo introduce TDM ladder and ballers give TBD a chance, really its so much fun its just all about changing gears and requires more focus.

[Knipchip]

The problem may lie in the fact that most potential TBDers either quit this game at an early stage because of TBD's insanity and 'unrefinedness' in pubs which to new players is most likely the only TBD thing in existence, don't take the game seriously or get ill by the infectious ball syndrome which is essentially the same.

[Carlos98]

Does this have momentum? Will this be happening?

[Slender]

We all wish it would, or at least I do

[evilarsenal]

cut the ridiculous roster size

thats the only problem

I concur with evil.

[TwistedCookie]

Sooo who are the captains?

[classicallad]

heh, an interesting concept would be for the community to choose say 3 judges and give all competing players in a draft tourny a points rating, fantasy style and then teams to be picked by captains with a max point cap.

Concepts aside though, i concur with my beloved Evil, smaller roster caps would do it. Hell im even considering playing with MAD if they want me just for the sake of comopetition and fun.

Not sure how old this thread is now but did we all agree on a suitable way forward for TBD?

Ill be making an APL after the summer, however if theres enough request I can make a summer tbd tournament. If 4-5 captains request it.

i believe pacman is going to set a 1dm tournament up after SL, so might want to keep that in mind.

[PACMAN]

just to inform you there may also be a 1dm tournament after SL aswell.

this may run on for about 3 weeks

and ty max :3

That sounds good but with the condition of the teams I think a captains tourney like blln suggested could be nice.

[blln4lyf]

Okay, time to get the interest in this again.

When I brought it up it seemed fairly promising, with the main concern that not everyone gets along. My solution to that is fairly simple, don't join mumble with your group if you don't like some of them. Lets face it, you really don't need mumble to be a competitive gamer in altitude. While it can help, at least you wouldn't "hate" playing with people you aren't fond of and the games would still be competitive.

Still think this is a much better idea than another APL or pwned tourney and if you guys still agree we can start patching together the structure and format in a couple days and go from there.

[Slender]

Gotta agree with balln. Mumble is so full of **** and annoying animal sounds. So distracting. But really, we should start discussing this again. Although we can go along with the pwned tourney in the meanwhile.

[blln4lyf]

Okay SL is over, people want to do this or have another APL?

[classicallad]

For sure do a captains tourney, any TBD tourney in fact! Guaranteed though if a KLF player is a captain expect his/her team to consist of many more KLF =)

[evilarsenal]

why not just have another APL?

why not have both? it's worth our time trying out something new imo.

They would have to run at separate times, so only 1 can really be done at a time.

[Slender]

I'm up for the tourney.

[Demuyt]

I have what I think is a pretty cool idea for a TBD tourney.

Each of the enlisted teams is cut up into 2 or 3 parts. Then parts from different teams are put together and set to play together: for example, part KLF + part qq VS part fLb + part PewPew. Everytime a team wins a game, the two teams it is composed of win points. The top 4 scoring teams then go back to their usual rosters for the finals and battle it out.

Let's not have this thread forgotten.

Everyone hating on MAD class I'd take you into MAD without hesitation ( ´・‿-) ~ ♥

Anyway if this gets going I'll participate and try to talk a few clan members to do so as well.

acegunner, mled from KLF
those were the best players on competing teams, and i understand that you want to be able to take on sammich, but at the same time you are actually taking away the other competition.

as i said before, i'm not saying it's a bad thing. but if you are complaining about the fact that there's too little competition, the blame is on yourself.

-Wolf out.

rib (and 3) from qq. why am i being left out here

He totally was.

SIGN UP IF YOU HAVEN'T.

I'd like to have first round of games next sunday meaning we need capts. and players and then the draft before then. I was hoping for a better turn out but 4 teams of 8 could work.
