Gladiator League Interest

Post by supratank »

Hey this is just to gauge interest.

I am not sure of all the details... and by design, it would be a smaller league I think.

Some of us are enjoying playing Dazzle's Gladiator and were talking about a league - maybe 4-5 teams of 3 or 4 that would play each other.

Now.. I dont know when or who would organize, I am just seeing if there is interest in this in greater numbers... enough to have a couple of teams and do it.

If there is - then maybe we can proceed at some point in the future.

SO let me know what you think... and if you would be interested in such a league or tourney.

Interested:

Hey Sups,

Sounds like an interesting idea. I would be up for helping organizing servers and what not to make such a league happen. Would this happen simultaneously with the PSL or after?

It is basically a 1 on 1 gladiatorial battle. There are 2 teams, one team on one side, the other on the other side. You send in your Tanker's inside the battlefield and watch them battle 1 on 1 to the death.... Whoever wins receives a point toward their team. One thing to worry about is letting each member of your team fight. We wouldn't want one really good BM'er play for the team. Sounds like an interesting idea, but lots of logistics to work through if we were to have a league centered around teams.

You forgot an important part. The rest of the team chat's a drinks beers while the two that are up duke it out.

Kind of like a slow pitch softball league.

Yes very True V... it can be slow.

I think we would have to have some rules to speed it up.

Today Jay was on the map fighting for 18 points and very few losses mixed in there... so we would have to come up with some different rules for this limiting someone really good from running the game, while keeping the other 3-4 players on the sideline. I actually think it might be fun to limit any player to 2 continuous wins, and then they are forced to dive, allowing a new player on the map to fight. So the order and when someone goes in would have to be strategic. Maybe make everyone have to fight once through a set rotation... much like a batting order.

I don't know if this would run during PSL or not.. no timetable has been set, I am just exploring interest. Its not meant to compete with a major league... its more of a side league, so I dont see a problem with it running at the same time if thats what people wanted.

We certainly could have home and away servers too... for those in Europe..... it may be something fun to do. Its a different kind of thing, but I think we coul have fun with it.

If Dazzle gets the 2 on 2 version done, we could entertain that instead....

I'm open to thoughts on this from everyone.

As long as Dazzles server is one of the main servers I'm in. I think some slight editing to the script might be necessary, like increasing when you have the heal by another 2 seconds, just to make sure you don't get hit by left over bullets and lose your new health. Also diving decreases your score so maybe we'd have to implement the switching in script form. I think 4 consecutive wins and then you get taken back to the base sounds good.

I can see there is little interest.

I'll give this a couple more days.
