It would also appear that judging from that video they also want you to believe that PvE is exciting, and that every zone is as cool as the new AP. False advertisement ftl.

Draft is complete, please refer to the googledocs list of free agents to see if you were picked and see who was picked and what round. Captains will be sending free agents they picked up tells.
All Captains need to update their rosters with their free agents.

Thanks to everyone who signed up and formed teams, drafting went pretty smoothly.
You may still sign up in this thread for supplementary drafts. -

<--Telth
The redneck would be the unfaithful one. Rofl
During your absence, he tried pretty hard to pull the team together, but nobody was communicating with him. If you had to dip you had to dip, RL first as always. By the time you came back you had basically 3 people who were still committed to the team. FV wasn't even the first one to drop, in fact he only dropped after he realized that 1 of your members had already dropped, and that a few more were already considering doing the same. I really don't think he is to blame, nor are you neccesarily, sometimes things just don't work out.
I think you do need to recognize that he was trying to pull it together, but it just wasn't working out. If you don't believe me ask Artic, or anybody who talked to him on a regular basis about the situation.
Sorry Telth, I've never had an issue with you, but you basically forced him into the co-captain role to begin with, and he took the responsibility when he didn't really have to. Saying that he is unfaithful or whatever is a huge slap in the face to him, I would imagine, and I really am surprised this is your reaction. -

Could be a reference to Issue 10 Beta Testing: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Issue_10
Go back to the other sections of the boards and QQ about how this game doesn't support Linux and spread percentages and data you pulled out of your ***.
You would make a good poltician Je Saist. Making up unfounded facts is what they do best.
Also a specific example of where you were incorrect: You said at one point that there were 3 kinds of knockback, when there are only technically 2.

The draft will happen at 8:30 PM eastern tommorow, Sunday the 25th. Each team needs a rep from their team, preferably 2, preferably Captain/co-captain, or a rep chosen by the Captain to represent. If a Captain can't make it, please let me know and please let me know who will be taking your place to avoid any drama with that.
As of this post the initial draft is closed for signups, any sign ups after this point can only be in supplemental drafts.

Consider this a point of ignorance on my part from having been away the game for so long.
I'll have to look them up and see what's going on with them that would make them possibly ban-able. Thanks for the heads up though Neuronia.
EDIT:
Is this what you were talking about Neuronia????

If so it does seem a little broken (@level 5) if those procs work in PvP. -
So we are looking at a little over 40 free agents, even after removing the people who pulled out or joined core rosters. There is a list of free agents on a thread on the guild portal site, please look it over if you are interested in forming a team out of the free agents.
There are plenty of solid players in the pool who could make a decent team with some leadership. -
Update on team forming, I decided to push the end-date up while still holding the initial draft on Sunday.
This is what I put on the rules thread:
"UPDATE: The draft is still happening Sunday. However, I am allowing teams to form until the Friday before officals (Just under 2 weeks after the draft). Teams under this circumstance will be able to pull from the supplementary draft pool before officials start, if any arise. Basically, if more teams happen after the initial draft, we will hold a supplementary draft before officials start. This will probably also happen the friday before officials start." -
I decided to extend the point at which teams may longer be formed for this league.

Keeper,
Thanks for making a seperate thread for this, as dumb as some people think this debate is, I'd rather it be here than clogging up official league posts. -
Everyone is welcome to have their opinion, even if I or anyone else completely disagrees with it.
HOWEVER, this is not the thread to be discussing this in. This thread is dedicated to free agent applications. If you want to discuss it, somewhere in-game or on ventrillo or something is a better place to do it, or even a seperate new thread. -
Quote:1. Everyone wants playing time. Everyone usually gets playing time in practices, because they are the best time to, y'know... practice. Practices don't mean anything other than being a forum for people to improve. If you practice, and show improvement and dedication to the team, you will probably be rewarded. If you practice, and just run through the motions, and don't make any effort to improve otherwise, you will be less rewarded. If you never show up for anything but a few officials, of course you're not going to get played. Even though the game is about fun, people still want to win. Putting a bad PvPer in the place of a solid or good PvPer is not a good way to win.Originally Posted by Artic Keeper
1.I just want to say that you must be joking, of course we want playing time. Sorry that we don't want to be punch dummies for certain practices. We are trying to join a league not some PvP boot camp.
2.Your right but the fact that you have the possibility to be picked up by someone that will never play you regardless of how much you improve sounds pretty lame to me.
3. I think that essentially ALL people want to play, so why would you say that forming our own teams be a bad thing? We would still gain experience from it. You say new people wont last? If you mean wont get far in the league, then i'm sure your right, but if you are implying that they would not last on a team together you are being quite presumptuous and should surely take a hike with that statement.
2. Which is why teams aren't forced to draft people they might not even play. Completely avoids this issue.
3. I agree. Bad team or good team, there's always something you can learn from doing any kind of 8v8. It's all about your mindset. You get out of it what you put into it.
Can we stop discussing this here, this is a free agent thread, all this discussion is basically doing nothing but de-railing this thread. Thanks. -
Please try and keep this thread clear of unnecesary drama or unconstructive banter. This will be used for actual discussion of the league and will be where people will post scores after officials.
If you have concerns or general QQ, I prefer you contact me before trying to crit everyone on the blueboards with walls of text. That's my job. -
Main thread is up, why QQ about the draft rule when you can QQ about a whole page of rules and guidelines.

The regular season will run 7 weeks, with a break before the playoffs on the 8th week. The playoffs will run for 2 weeks.
New team signups are closing on Friday, October 7th. Any free agent applications submitted at this point will be in any supplemental drafts/re-drafts that we hold.
-- Match Settings: Each match will be 10 minutes long, set to the following options: No heal decay, no travel suppression, small inspirations, super heavyweight. If both teams can agree on it, matches can be set to 20 minutes long.
-- Illegal Maps: Monkey Cage, Office, Caves.
-- Each team is allowed 1 reset within the first 60 seconds of each match. This will typically be for if teams load in short-handed or with people off-team. Once the reset is spent, your team cannot reset the match again, unless both Captains agree upon resetting it. After a reset, both teams must use the same lineups they used before the reset, including what players were on what.
-- The only temp powers allowed in official matches will be arena temps bought from the arena store, no special inspirations will be allowed. Basebuffs are not allowed. Small Inspirations only.
-- All names must be unique, no barcode names or names that substitute L for I (for example) with the intent of looking identical to someone elses name will be allowed.
Mid-match restrictions:
-- No Ouroboros portals may be placed.
-- Telekinesis, Stalagmites (Dominator version), and Steam Jump/Jump Pack are banned.
-- If a power is clearly broken, and out of line, Captains may at any time move to ban such powers, and it will be put up to a vote.
-- ALPHA is the only legal incarnate power in officials.
-- Teams are limited to 3 stalkers per match.
-- If a team brings a draw team (This will mostly mean 3+ Tanks, Brutes, or Scrappers equipped with taunt) they must win the match. If such a team ties, it counts as a loss.
-- Teams must field at least 5 players per match, if a team for whatever reason can't field 5 or more players they forfeit the match.
-- If a team for whatever reason drops below 5 players during an official match, they forfeit the match. Teams must always have 3 non-stalker players in the match at all times.
****IN ORDER TO AVOID SLIP UPS WHERE ILLEGAL POWERS ARE USED, REMOVING ILLEGAL POWERS FROM YOUR TRAY AND UNBINDING ANY OF THEM BOUND TO A KEY BEFORE OFFICIALS IS THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION. IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CAPTAINS TO REMIND THEIR TEAMS BEFORE OFFICIALS.****
Trade rules and other team guidelines:
-- Each team must register with with at least 5 core members. By the time the draft rolls around, every team must have at least 8 core members to participate, with a maximum of 10.
-- At any point during the season, Captains may call for a re-draft. Re-drafts will happen every Friday IF NECCESARY. Re-drafts will be an opportunity for Captains to replace draftees who are no call, no shows, or need to be removed from the team otherwise.
-- Members of a team's core may be replaced at any time, once someone has been removed from the core, they may not be re-added to the core they were removed from.
-- Captains may remove any player from their roster at any time if they are causing substantial issues within the team.
-- Trades are allowed, all trades must be final by every Saturday before match dates.
-- Captain's may not trade themselves, even after handing over the duty to another member on the roster.
-- In the event that a trade occurs, the person being traded may not participate in the set of officials directly after their trade. If a situation arises where allowing a person in this situation to play would allow for 8v8 where it would otherwise not, if both Captains can agree to it, that person may play.
-- The players involved in said trade must consent to being traded, as well as the Captains involved. If no agreement can be reached, the trade can't happen.
-- NO ACCOUNT SHARING, NO RINGERS during officials. The person who owns each account must be the only person to play said account during officials. No unregistered globals will be allowed to play in officials.
-- If a team is disbanded, they may enter the draft and play as soon as they are drafted.
-- ALL ROSTERS ARE FINAL after week 7 of the regular season matches. No trades may be made after those matches, no core members replaced, or new draftees added from a supplemental draft.
Match Scheudling:
-- Official matches will take place at 8 PM central, 9 PM eastern, every Sunday besides the week of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
-- Each team will play each team once in a series of 3 rounds
-- Playoffs will run 2 weeks, with 1st seed vs. 4th seed and 2nd seed vs. 3rd seed to start. The semi-final round will be worth 1 point for wins, 0 for losses, and the finals will be worth 2 points for wins, 0 for losses. These scores will be added to the total from the 5 week main season to determine winners.
Match Scoring, Draws/Ties:
-- Matches must start within 15 minutes of the set start time. If both teams are agreeable, the start time may be delayed, no longer than 10 minutes.
-- There will be 3 rounds per matchup. home team will have 1st map pick, away will have 2nd, 3rd will be set to random.
-- Wins count for 1 point, losses count for 0.
-- Ties must be replayed. The best time for this to happen is directly after the original 3 matches are over, though if teams can come to an agreement it can be scheudled for another time.
-- Ties will be replayed with the same lineups.
-- Ties must be replayed on the same map in which the tie occured.
Lineup Submissions: A representative from a team not participating in each match will take lineups from both teams facing eachother, and will post them in Arena Chat after both have been recieved. Lineup submissions must include all of the ATs playing in your lineup, as well as their individual powersets (Primary/Secondary).
Consequences for infractions:
-- Most common consequence will be offending teams will be disqualified for the match in which the infraction was cited. If a specific player is consistantly breaking rules, they may be forced to be benched for 1-3 matches. If even after repeated chastizing and punishment, said player continues to deliberately break rules, they may be expelled from the league.
-- THERE IS NO sportsmanship or conduct rule, anything that can be handled by moderation from NCSoft GMs I will not be handling. Only things I will step in for is things that NCSoft does not have direct control over (Ventrillo, GP forums, etc.) That said, the EULA has just been redone and we have a red-name participating... My advice is to tread lightly.
-- My hope is also that Captains can be responsible for making sure their players don't step out of line. Let me make it clear, I don't WANT to have to punish anybody, or police drama or anything, but if it becomes a big enough issue I may be forced to step in, it will be handled on a case by case basis.
Something to keep in mind: The easiest way to prove an infraction has occured is to take screenshots of it. The easiest way to end disputes over scores is to supply a screenshot of the match results. While this may not be neccesary in a lot of cases, it might be in some. Always be prepared to be asked for screenshots.
Whether or not an infraction has occurred must abide by the rules, there will not be punishment for things that are not explicitly rule-breaking. If a screenshot is neccesary, the sooner you supply it, the better. Also, I will not be accepting screen shots that are extremely pixelated or distorted, meaning, if I can't read the text in the screenshots it is invalid.
