While there are 26 people who might not make teams (I guess I have 25 but w/e) I wanted to take a quick look at who these people might be and why they might not be on a team. Now you could view this as a troll but bear in mind this information is useful to the listed players for either disproving a negative view or changing ones behavior to avoid getting passed over.<br /><br />Armour: I am told this guy plays Skulltag. I don&#039;t see him very much. He might get picked because he has a really good shot. I am personally suspicious of people I haven&#039;t heard of with really good shots. As a captain I am responsible for my teams integrity and stuff like that weighs on me when picking my players. In captaining comes the responsibility of picking players you know to be genuinely good and not just some alias with a fantastic shot.<br /><br />Capodecima: Capo is extremely annoying. <br /><br />Catostrophe (BlueWizard):&nbsp; I am told this guy plays Skulltag. I don&#039;t see him very much.<br /><br />Dannyboy: Danny is a rat. I don&#039;t care for him personally. In addition he&#039;s terrible at doom. Like, wow Whiteboy&#039;s brother after 2 games of priv is already better. Danny needs to work on his game if he wants to overcome the stigma of being covered in ZD Administrator poop.<br /><br />DarkLord: I actually don&#039;t know who this is. When that happens it&#039;s usually a Skulltagger or a South American. I think maybe in this case it is both.<br /><br />Evolution: Evo is surprisingly good. He&#039;s around a reasonable amount during the day and he&#039;s a pretty capable player even with his 100+ ping. I think he&#039;ll get passed over because this is a deep draft and he&#039;s not in the discussion of top euro players at the moment.<br /><br />Genesis (Tenchu): Sketchy is the best word to describe Tenchu. There are others but I&#039;m trying to be courteous. I don&#039;t see him playing much but I probably don&#039;t look in the right places. He&#039;s not the most credible guy. He&#039;s bailed on teams and he&#039;s not that good. If he dedicated himself to being good I bet he&#039;d get picked up but he hasn&#039;t don that so far.<br /><br />Glum: This dude has skills. Most people don&#039;t know him because he&#039;s old and washed up but he could easily be a top 3rd in IDL with a month or so of consistent practice.<br /><br />Godsdoomer: Not around much. He was really active last season so I have no reason to think he wouldn&#039;t be around this one. This is another victim of a deep draft.<br /><br />HeavenWraith: Kuchi has super ping and doesn&#039;t play ZDaemon too much afaik. <br /><br />Klesk: This idiot cheats and is a gay ass. I&#039;m still surprised you&#039;re allowed to play in IDL Kal-fox. If I had my way you wouldn&#039;t be.<br /><br />MadV: Ditches, period.<br /><br />Majik: Majik is very similar to Dannyboy in skill except I don&#039;t think he&#039;s a tool like Danny is. Still he&#039;s not in the realm of players who will see roster spots at this point.<br /><br />Merk: Merk is a total gamble. He&#039;s actually not terrible but again, there are a few not-terrible names on this list that could be 4ths and will suffer from over population. <br /><br />Mobius: This is probably an interpersonal thing more than a skill thing. Mobius is a capable IDL player. He also likes child porn. I can&#039;t have that around me. <br /><br />Nati46: I&#039;d put Nati on the list of players who just isn&#039;t at the level of IDL skill yet. The cut-off for 4ths will be somewhere around higgs or Asgar.<br /><br />NullSeven: ^^Ditto<br /><br />OurHero: Ditches, period.<br /><br />Quiksilver: Quik might make a roster. He&#039;s good on maps he&#039;s knows. Given some practice he&#039;d know more maps. He has had some spotty attendance but I can forgive that more so than most if the skill is up to par.<br /><br />Roscoe: Rudy is crazy, should get drafted, might, but he&#039;s known to only show up 1-2 times a week. You have to be pretty good for captains to want to suffer you not being around.<br /><br />Telo: I throw this guy into the same batch with Armour. I don&#039;t know him, he shoots really well and I wouldn&#039;t risk my season on a player I don&#039;t trust. Some captain will I imagine. Just not me.<br /><br />TheKillerNacho: Is also pretty good. He needs to play more. He needs to learn new maps. He needs to start involving himself in the community to get some goodwill. Otherwise you can sit on the sidelines even if you&#039;re good enough.<br /><br />xxWhiteMikexx: This dude should end up on White&#039;s team. White has ways of getting you to do stuff. Mostly extortion. <br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Anyway some of these guys will make rosters. For every one that does one of the people have listed as a 4th will drop. In summary of the reasons I listed there are about 3 real problems with most of those players: Attendance, skill level and credibility. I personally can overlook some attendance issues. Skill level, for me as a captain, is a must. I don&#039;t want to play with players who belong in PublicCTF. It&#039;s why I play IDL. Credibility is only important to me because I value my own reputation. I don&#039;t want to draft Cecil, go 8-0 and have my season trashed because it is a 100% certainty that guy cheats in every game he plays. Fuck that. There have been captains in recent seasons that don&#039;t care, and I&#039;m okay with that too. I pretty much always beat them anyway.<br /><br />In response to more teams/larger teams etc. Just because we have enough players for 16 teams (and we do) does not mean it&#039;s a good idea. There are about half of the names in FA that just won&#039;t show up enough. And Ralph is right there are some names that will be on rosters that might not show up. The reason 12 teams will work (be fun) is because we have 12 captains and 24 players that play at a high-level. Unfortunately we don&#039;t have 16 captains and 32 players that fit that bill. When we do we should immediately make 16 teams. Until then it&#039;s silly to discuss the possibility of putting up 4 sub par teams just so we can accommodate the most people. IDL is not a fucking clown car. It&#039;s a competitive league.
