Yo, welcome to the IDL!<br /><br />For starters, click the big IDL icon up top and it will direct you to the homepage. After that, you can read the rules section there. I&#039;ll give you a short summary but you&#039;ll have to read the rules to fully understand how this works.<br /><br />As it stands, nobody really knows who you are. That&#039;s not a bad thing though, it means you have to come around and play some doom with us. We have a channel in irc.quakenet.net #idl, there we often play organized games of CTF on private servers. Everyone joins the server, goes onto the white team and we call a random captains vote, 2 random captains are selected and they pick from the available player pool on the white team. The green team is where you go if you don&#039;t want to play&nbsp; but watch or are going to be afk for a bit. Generally, most private games are 4vs4, but occasionally you&#039;ll get 5vs5. Either way, put some work in and you&#039;ll get your name out there. <br /><br />After that, you&#039;ll have to sign up for next seasons open-sign up list. Since you&#039;re new, you&#039;re not going to get an automatic invite. Once you sign-up, you&#039;re immediately placed on the list as a player available to be drafted once the draft comes up. Whether you get drafted or not is up to you and how much time and effort you&#039;re willing to put in to develop your skills (unless you&#039;re good already but even then, you still have to show people). Currently, we are just about to begin IDL Season 9 so unfortunately you won&#039;t be able to play this season unless you can somehow be squeezed into The Development League&#039;s Free Agent list, which I&#039;m not sure how that works. <br /><br />So yeah, that&#039;s it for the most part. Come in, play some doom and get your name out there. The rest will take care of itself. If you have any further questions, you can join #idl and talk to Ralphis, Ladna, mikehail or Goatface. They&#039;re usually available to answer all questions. Best of luck.
