i was talking with some guys during a game, and we feel the clanner scene is pretty weak at the moment, all the same clans always competing against each other..
p3 has alot of members, and dt as well (even if most are inactive) and the skill is very unbalanced, as komo was crying about in a recent post (even though he has nothing to do with worms anymore)
the problem is, clan members are content in the clans they are in, and do not want to leave the clans, due to the friendships they have, or any other reason...
so, i thought of an idea, to solve all this, i think the idea has been made in the past, its not like its some groundbreaking new idea... but here goes..
Each member who would like to participate can sign up.. hopefully people only sign up if they have a true interest in the league, and are active enough to help their team... when you sign up, you give your TUS user name, and a honest list of your best scheme, to your worst.. then either a group of people, or just one person can have the job of splitting these people up into groups of 4, or 5... (depending how many people sign up) the key to splitting everyone up into teams, is dividing the skill up as evenly as possible... maybe 1 really good ttrr' guy in each team, 2 good ropers, and 2 good defaulters..
each team will have 1 captain, and the captain can give the team a name- then you can either choose to wear the tags in wnet, but obviously thats not needed... once everyone is clear on who their "team"/"group" is, we can start searching for 2v2/3v3 games in wnet... and at the end of each season, we can have a playoffs, then repeat the process, signing up, splitting up the teams, and competing...
of course, we will still be able to 2v2 clan game, but that will be a separate league, and rating..
the benefits to this will be more 2v2 competition, because i know a lot of people, like myself are mainly interested in 2v2 league, and dont really care much about singles... so there is really only one options for this right now, and thats clan games.. (ofc you can 2v2 tus single, but thats not for an overall team ranking, thats just for tus singles ranking)
another benefit is that members do not have to leave their clans, and we can have more balanced teams, and hopefully a more active 2v2 league, with more competition...
and again, another benefit would be becoming closer to other people on Wnet, when you are in a clan, we all know you spend more time with your clan mates, and becoming closer to them... so having groups with people you may not normally be in a clan with, will spark new friendships, and i dont want to be all sappy, but that sounds fun, and romantic to me
so, lets hear what others think...
ps: MonkeyIsland, if people like the idea, are you willing to code this??? plz? and thank you.
