Re: should BZWC become a league?

YES FiringSquad ::: you opened up Pandora's box! ;)
and without the possibility to pass the flag and blow some fresh air into the play-style with it,
the idea to create a new league would have never come up!!!
being worried about the general league activity I was hesitating very much!
maybe that fresh air is missing and a new play-style could help to re-activate the leagues?
anyway ::: let's try this adventure and lets start this new league! as kierra mentioned: only if we try we'll find out!
if it works: fine and if it doesn't: at least we tried!
but alone I would not dare to start it, so I asked Upsetter and ts to give me an active hand in this and they agreed.
I know that they are other great and trustworthy tanks out there that will help to create a solid base to build upon!
::: I believe also a different concept for the league itself is needed! :::
the basic idea, that you fight for your country should be a major part in it so that you can join only a team, were you're actually from!
but to assure that you'll have most of the time a mate and an opponent to match in this league, it might be a solution that after registering, you randomly and automatically are assigned to a "red" or "green" team. that means in the end you will find yourself in 2 teams ::: in your country team and in the "red" (or "green") team.
the advantage ::: you can arrange matches between red, green or nation teams and all matches will count for ranking (fixed or seasons?) and most probably you'll have always somebody to match with/against because the 2 generic teams will become huge (hopefully ;).
the "red" and "green" teams could also change according to seasons and become for example: "windows" vs "mac" vs "linux" as an idea.
::: also the map itself will get a major change! :::
- the "T" flag will disappear and will be replaced by a non used team-flag to prevent confusion where/how to cap and to take away the slight tiny advantage for the carrier.
- the bars in front of the goal will remain to give you a hard time to get onto the base, but will be passable without the "T" flag of course ;)
- the PassTheFlag plugin FiringSquad made will be a fixed part to the play-style and how matches are played to enhance the fun and tactical possibilities and blow that fresh air in. also part of the update FS made with his plugin: if you shoot the flag-carrier (even a teamie), the flag flies to were the killer was located when he fired (even a tactical team-kill will become part of the strategy ;).
- the rest remains as it is/was with the random map script by ahs3 and the 2-shots, rico and no jumping style.
- the stadium will be redone for a more contemporary look, but thats just make-up. ;)
we have already a domain with the name for the league in it ::: BzMatchBall.org
and we're working on the site! lets get this up on its feet by the 1st of november to open the stadiums for lots of exciting matches again!
any suggestions in helping to create an unique league with its concept, map and play-style are very welcome and to throw in right now to make this rock n'roll!!!
and thanks for all the input you left here to help making up minds!
