First of all, I think you meant to put this in the other PvP section, not the arena boards.
Second, that build looks awful. -
I'm a hell of a guy.

I'll never reach 20k posts with an attitude like that.

Tokyo, due to my lack of respect to you as a player and as a human being, I am willing to utterly disregard anything you post. Ever. I aware you no points. And may God have mercy on your soul.

Quote:The rule is the captains play who they want, but also that they don't have to keep drafting if they're done and have who they want. Everyone on a 10 or 12 or 14 man team can't always play, of course, and the captains will sort out who they want, where, and when.Originally Posted by Artic Keeper
So basically if you do get drafted you will be played is now what I am hearing. I thought all draftees had to be picked up and there for getting stuck benched if they were the 11th or 12th or whatever that's how I understood it but ok, I got it now sorry.
We're not going to see teams picking up players they don't want and benching them all season. -
Quote:And what I'm saying is that it is a non issue as the captains won't draft someone they don't want to play. Why is this a difficult concept? My God man.. I'm an insufferable carebear and even I don't see the rainbow pony block that's stressing you out.Originally Posted by Artic Keeper
I already said on the forums that I was going to try to start my own team. Only thing I am arguing is that Draftees should not wait to be drafted, if the possibility maybe, that they may not get adequate playing time.

Quote:Fact is that captains do not have to keep drafting if they don't want to. So they will only have people on their team they either want to play, or think have potential.Originally Posted by Artic Keeper
Started this thread to keep other one from being derailed. If you have any thoughts on what said on the other thread let me know.
If you're still concerned you can start your own team and guarantee yourself playing time.
The old leagues are done and are now meaningless.
I don't see the issue at this point. -

Smoke, I love how your sig quote hasn't changed since before I left. Its comforting to know that some things stay the same.

Silit, due my great respect to you as a player and as a magnificent human being, I am willing to drop Rick and add you to my core. You can stalk. You can exclusively stalk these emps that steal your play time. You can stalk all night long.

Now I'm not anywhere near the best emp playing, but I do ok. And when I first started I rode the bench a lot, but showed up to practices and listened to those that knew more than me and joined kb's and did whatever I could do to learn what I can. I have to agree that face time in officials, while satisfying, shouldn't be the focus of a new or still green player. Getting on a team with experienced people, watching, learning, practicing, and applying what you pick up should be. That's how you get played in the first place.
Now, that said, I don't think a captain should have any obligation whatsoever to play everyone that shows up. Sorry, it just doesn't work that way. If the draftees want to form up another team and do so with the understanding that they will get rolled more often than not during official play, I think that's great. I honestly don't think you get better unless you play against people better than you. Play. Take your lumps. Improve. And pretty soon people are saying, 'Hey, XYZ is getting pretty decent.'. Next league they're picked up with the intention of getting some serious face time.
It's the way it is in any competitive environment. Make your own team? Ok. Stay in the draft, talk to other captains, express your interest to learn and improve, and try to get on a team. Great. Quit outright because you might not see much game time? Good luck ever ever ever getting any better.
My overly long 2 cents. -

I doubt I'll move any of my many many toons to Exalted. I have a few on Champion, a few on Freedom, and about 40 on Justice. And there they will stay.
