43 signups, 24 people allowed (18 core players)... that means half the people won&#039;t even be on a team, let alone playing.<br /><br />Therefore you better show up in priv and show off your skill. I personally won&#039;t pick people who don&#039;t play in oda priv or in previous IDL&#039;s because I have no idea how you play. I show up in priv a fair amount so I know who is and isn&#039;t playing.<br /><br /><br />For the first time in probably a few years, there&#039;s actually a bottleneck where you HAVE to play and HAVE to get/be good to get picked. People like capo who throw priv games and made a bad name for himself are probably not going to get picked with the massive amount of signups here and diverse amount of skill.<br /><br /><br />If you didn&#039;t get picked and are discouraged, I think that happened to a lot of people, or at least myself. First time I tried to get into IDL on ZD I got destroyed and just had everyone yelling at me when I played. Then Nostar helped me learn what to do. I persevered and look where I am now. Of course I have a feeling a lot of people will be at fault for not showing up.<br /><br />Thus if you read this and want to play, [b]show up or call a private session in #idl immediately as the picking date is approaching in a few days.[/b]
