I endorse this idea!<br /><br />There are two co-exacerbating problems with priv:<br /><br />1. It&#039;s elitist.&nbsp; Beyond the fairness of randcaps, players are chosen more or less in order from best to worst.&nbsp; If this doesn&#039;t happen, then the captains either a.) think CoF is a [i]good[/i] clan, or b.) are Ralphis and can win even with Mobius on their team.&nbsp; And why shouldn&#039;t it be this way!&nbsp; Everybody hates losing and loves winning, especially Jenova.&nbsp; But, for this reason, mediocre and sometimes fairly good players get pushed out of priv whenever there are more than 8 or 10 people in the server.<br /><br />2. It&#039;s a bandwagon.&nbsp; Whenever there are 8 people in the server, there are 12 people in the server.&nbsp; Many players sit in IRC and refresh TT to see if there are enough (or good enough) people already in the server.&nbsp; So after waiting in the server for 30 minutes, a 6th person shows up, we play one game, 8 more people show up, and I (or whoever) am out of priv for the rest of the night.<br /><br />These problems combined make it difficult for IDL 3rds and 4ths and IDL-R-ers (most of the league) to play serious and intelligent games, and consequently make it difficult for them to improve.&nbsp; This expands the player skill gap, and is one contributor to the fact that ZDaemon is dying.&nbsp; Any improvement I might have made this season is not from playing league games, but from playing priv.<br /><br />Playing 5v5 and 6v6 games in priv would mollify this.&nbsp; (So would lowering the priv server player limit, and putting up another server.)<br /><br />idl2011.wad is a collection of maps intended for a 3v3 league.&nbsp; This is why even 4v4 games are shitstorms on maps 14 and 31, but not on maps 19 or 22.&nbsp; In the same way, 5v5 and 6v6 games do not have to be shitstorms.&nbsp; Instead, they can be intelligent, dynamic, and deeply strategerized, given a large and complicated enough playing field, and a smart and talented enough player base.&nbsp; (7v7 and 8v8 games cannot be.)<br /><br /><br />I am willing to build this wad.&nbsp; I have already made a list of the best large maps from ectf, uctf, and zdctf, and will do the same for cc, 32in24, fancyctf, etc.&nbsp; I do not know if people will play this.&nbsp; Also, it would be nice to have a small committee (a board?) of reputable players to OK the maps so that this does not turn out like a bad mixtape.<br />
