The NCWL - Intrigue Poll

[Conq]

While discussing the bracket with a few of the genius' of GG19, a certain highly alpha individual made a brilliant suggestion, one so astonishing, I instantly knew it was my responsibility to delve into the practicality and the organizational theory crafting of such a thought. The thought was this; A Twink War Gaming League. The title is just a suggestion but it literally means "The Nineteens Community Wargaming League". The first thought I had when I heard this was - We have streamers like pro sports, we have a playoffs like pro sports, but we don't have a structured season like they do. Sure war games happen with frequency right now in preparation for the 2015 Twink Cup, but when all that dies down what do we have left? This is a bare bones idea as of right now, it would need to be run by the entire community, this would require more than GG19s help. This would require People Pledging to participate, to organize, to stream, to practice, to advertise, and invest their own time. At this point this doesn't have any official connections to GG19 or The Twinkcup but i'm not closing off those options, in fact I would prefer to tie them all in together in some capacity. Regardless of unknown details that I will need YOUR help coming up with, if this gets enough support I will make this happen with your help.

Please take the time to vote and discuss this.

If things go as expected will we form a group of people to decide on a framework for the entire thing. Then present that in a refined form.

This is designed to be a season, not a tournament. This will be more spread out than the twinkcup in terms of length and structure, and there will be no real world currency involved.


It's clear that this idea already has enough support to take it to the next phase, and likely see it too fruition, this is going to happen guys. At this point I need suggestions, and more support, in about a week I will announce a team that will decide on a framework.

This is beautiful.

 

[coolbank]

if this directs premades to do wargames instead of just pub stomps im all for it
im more of a bg guy though..... i only solo q im not very interested in participating in wargames.... but the more options for people the better

When the 2015 Twink Cup has finished I can help with ingame prize money / game tokens and GG19 can help with teams, gear etc.

I suggest that TI is used as the league WWW hub but can also help with web development and design, hosting etc. if it's required.

I can't like this idea enough.

<3 Thank you man that's perfect.

We need some sort of belt for the champions!

 

[Rusks]

So like a twink cup without the 3v3?

maybe include the other two bgs also. Teams play 3 games one of each

the season should be structured somewhat though like every team needs to play each other

also NWL might work better

 

[Darkxd]

So with this in mind will there be a Super Bowl? And a playoff system? Aswell as divisions/conferences???? Sounds like a great idea. If the format of the NFL regular/post-season was copied id probably be more excited for this than the twinkcup .

If this comes to fruition it would be insane fun

There are 52 weekends in a year, I would hope to spread this out, and sort of use it as a precursor to the Twinkcup, were people can use the twinkcup show off what they've become after a season of hard work.

I'm totally down for that, or something very similar.

We can do all sorts of things with the war game system.

 

[Freestylex]

Can my team have a wsg cap horn

 

[Snack]

big stuff

 

[Rusks]

Tossing out ideas here so feel free to build on it

EU and US leagues (possibly an oceanic)

US winner vs EU winner on ptr after each regions final

teams must register by a specific date. Possibly including a roster of players (not characters)

rosters must be finalized at some point before the playoffs like a trade deadline

teams need to play every team (multiple times?) in eots ab and wsg

season record=seeding

games can be played at any time provided there is a member of the (whatever we call this) comittie available to observe



I'll add more if I think of it

also [MENTION=189]Conq[/MENTION] you can't play any other bgs through the spectator commands or addon or at least we couldn't when we tried to get temple on 19s

 

[Jetlife]

seems like a dope idea; hopefully i can gather enough homies to have a team of only people i like, then i would for sure really participate a hell of a lot

I was thinking about this myself.. have a community based tournament or "season" that leads up the the twink cup.

I'm in for this.. I don't even care about prize money or in game prizes - competition is more than enough.

 

[Conq]

Right now were looking at multiple short seasons throughout the year. right now were thinking we would take the amount of teams and multiple it by two, and that's how many weekends a season would end up being. There would be a reward for the 1st 2nd and 3rd, we don't want this to be another twinkcup we want this to be a season, not a tournament. perhaps leveling the playing field by introducing all possible war game formats including ab, eots, warsong, 2s, 3s, and probably 5s, the purpose of this would be to level the playing field, and this is a unique opportunity to introduce some new forms of competition into the bracket.

Thoughts?

I cannot pledge myself to form a team or participate in any competition, but I would like to take a lead roll teaming up with Eggs to the capacity he described above. Cheers for a neat idea!

 

[Tollo]

Love the idea. You have my support and time for organizational/back-end stuff.
