I really, really wanted to avoid posting here as I have no intention of coming back (I am sure the feeling is mutual), but seeing my name crop up in this thread and Hate&#039;s latest post irked me too much.<br /><br />So let&#039;s dive!<br /><br />[quote=Mass]you want to play in a league with people you know and like, not Mobius and Dawsonation.&nbsp; You want to play in a league with talented players who can possibly match your skill level in CTF, not Mobius and Dawsonation.[/quote]<br /><br />Suck my giant sized cock that Mass is afraid of.<br /><br />Other than that, yeah. People like Jenova and etc being a bunch of pussies because some no names jump in is bad, but dumb captain picks isn&#039;t [b]my fault[/b] at all.<br /><br />There&#039;s always going to be a bad team and a super nearly unbeatable team (BSK for like 2 seasons). I think IDL needs to actually enforce the invite list instead of it being a show pony. Captains banking on no-name talent through regular sign ups and then decide to get cold feet cause they don&#039;t get their way (Hatred). Like a few people here say, &quot;if you show up in priv a lot and do good, you might get picked,&quot; instead of letting random people enter no one has ever seen (who the fuck is Hydrafire? or even Shadowfox aliasing, and myself). The only problem I see with it is that other players might get fucked over hard (Soulsucka) but really, if you are that conservative about IDL then just do that: become the elite league that only the best can be invited too, if not then [b]too bad[/b].<br /><br />I mean, who the hell lets a rookie with 0 running experience (even in scrims of priv on a weaker port) run against Chew? Come on, I think the talent pool shouldn&#039;t be blamed entirely.<br /><br />[quote=Hatred]I&#039;ve heard people suggest doing a small tournament with some newer guys, somewhat IDL-R like with IDL rules being in place. Someone would have to organize this though. And someone would also have to be willing to play in it and give some of these guys some suggestions, tutoring, etc. From a practical standpoint, would we even be able to develop this, run it, finish it and expect everything to be done before the IDL begins? Sure, but it&#039;d be a lot of work and there&#039;s no guarantee we&#039;d get enough people giving it a shot. We&#039;ll have to see, I&#039;m interested to hear what people have to say.[/quote]<br /><br />[b]That shit won&#039;t work because I know it won&#039;t from experience[/b]. I was in IDLR, and I was just lucky enough to get Mikehail whom was half-ass willing to do set up games. You want to help lesser players like me? Make a fuckin` tutorship program or some whatever where you groom one player that you like or think is worth a damn, and don&#039;t make it a program so there is no strict rules: I mean, go out of your way and help someone out instead of them learning from random duels or random/lucky picks in priv.<br /><br />Quite frankly, season 10 looked like shit from the lack of demo infraction penalties, letting Naut captain (I certainly wouldn&#039;t, and I know him less than you guys), and insert why other players didn&#039;t show. You don&#039;t want, &quot;lesser players,&quot; enter then do invite only.<br /><br />OH YEAH! IDLR failed because players felt insulted to be placed there so there were like 0 dedication and many forfeits.
