Holy hell there is a lot of stuff here... Lots of great suggestions and input... Very nice to see.<br /><br />I&#039;ll touch on a few of my thoughts here about various things:<br /><br />[size=3]4vs4 or 12 teams[/size]<br /><br />I put that in there because you can&#039;t have both here. For 4on4 you&#039;d need 48 active players with 12 teams. That is just for &quot;starting players&quot;. If we include backups, that&#039;d be 5 players a team making 60 required players JUST to fill a roster. I don&#039;t see that as very feasible and not to mention the highly increased load on Ralphis of trying to schedule all of this.<br /><br />Having said that I like the idea of 12 teams with 3on3 staying as it is. I think that is more do-able and in the end will provide better games mainly because the likelihood of consistently getting 3on3 matches played is WAY higher than 4on4&#039;s(which would result in more forfeits in all reality).<br /><br />[size=3]Community Voting[/size]<br /><br />I like this idea a lot. Like others said, it could work out... It could not due to various reasons listed above. It is certainly worth a shot because even as board members, we are human and will ultimately choose maps &quot;we&quot; like as well; however not always true. Many of the maps I did not care for this season &quot;initially&quot;, but voted on the current schedule because I thought overall they may provide good games. MOST maps this year have honestly produced some great matches once given a shot. <br /><br />[size=3]Server hating/Gripes[/size]<br /><br />Yea I can understand getting frustrated/annoyed over people constantly whining about the servers, but that is going to happen when your the only game in town. Some of the whining goes overboard and I&#039;m guilty of this as well. I&#039;m glad to see multiple servers moving in the right direction and hope this will benefit everyone in the long run.<br /><br />[size=3]Shorter Seasons[/size]<br /><br />The only way I see shorter seasons working out is to play 2 games a week and that would be difficult. Very difficult to get quality practice/a decent strategy on 2 maps per week. Otherwise, like Bones said... Games would become ridiculously important then and if a team has issues one week... It could cost them a season. I wouldn&#039;t be in favor in any sense of the word reducing the amount of games to say 4. <br /><br />[size=3]Franchising[/size]<br /><br />I&#039;m in favor of removing franchising... The drafts seem more exciting when choosing your whole lineup and it is really fun to start a team from the ground up and go to the top with them. I really didn&#039;t having anything against franchising, but only because I was lucky enough to grab a really awesome/reliable player (Stall I luh U) and do well.<br /><br /><br />[size=3]Advertising[/size]<br /><br />Alright... I got a Ladna type novel going here so I&#039;ll try to tie it up. I like Stall&#039;s idea of most of us getting a bind to advertise in public. There is a lot of players I think would be interested in a setting like this and would love to see them have the chance to do so. Also, we simply cant be discouraging to these new players. They have all different types of personalities and some things people say around here, they may take quite literally and not the sarcasm it was intended. We can&#039;t just take a not care attitude and piss them away while relying on the current set of players who will not be around forever.<br /><br />Few more suggestions... Could the ZD Administration put a link of the IDL on the ZD Homesite? I dont know... Do they dislike us? <br /><br />Also when advertising on the ZD forums... Do we put a link to access our IDL IRC? We should do that when advertising anything IDL related since everything goes on in there.<br /><br />I have more thoughts on even more things that were discussed here, but honestly.... Have I not written enough? Arent you tired of reading this by now?&nbsp; ;D<br /><br />
