OK here it comes, I am surprised you managed to hold back so long.&nbsp; Ralph I&#039;ve been talking to you to try new IDL ideas since season fucking 2.&nbsp; Almost none of them have been tried.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had lots of crazy ideas and some I think are rather sound.&nbsp; It is sort of pathetic it takes a huge out pouring of many players from the league for people to get heard.&nbsp; People have been vehemently arguing against 3v2 for instance for ages yet were in the past just ignored.<br /><br />It is IDL politics, if you can&#039;t understand that it is sad you are so influential on the league.&nbsp; There have been many unfair decisions season after season without justification.&nbsp; I just wanted to bring up a recent example where two teams were given a lot of help while a certain other one was not.&nbsp; EBL played by the rules, BSK and DMR had them bent in their favor, it is as simple as that.&nbsp; I know they are special cases but the point is, why should a special case be the only one where teams are allowed flexibility to regain their competitiveness?&nbsp; Results are what matter to me.<br /><br />I also probably am a big jerk but I still think Doomguy and Dragan just gave up on the league.&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe they&#039;ve been iced back into the stone age.&nbsp; It&#039;s been almost a month now hasn&#039;t it?&nbsp; If indeed they are in such bad shape I&#039;ll apologize.<br /><br />I don&#039;t want to rank anyone Ralph, I just want to try new things and that was one I thought was really interesting.&nbsp; It would make trading much more viable and teams wouldn&#039;t be allowed to conspire much since bidding would force their hand.&nbsp; I know you think the IDL right now is some market but it is not, it&#039;s a secret back room of politics.&nbsp; The IDL has made some fucking terrible decisions and most of them are driven by elitist and competitive interests.&nbsp; As the league goes on you see this more and more.&nbsp; I think what Dew hinted at in his post is somewhat true in this regard.&nbsp; The franchise rule is officially implementing politics into the IDL rules.&nbsp; The invite only list is politics officially coming into the IDL.&nbsp; These are driven by people like you Ralphis who want to exclude and have more power over people.&nbsp; I know you hate the IDL board as well since it takes power away from you.<br /><br />I haven&#039;t really followed the league much since last season(if you didn&#039;t notice I sort of went on a break) but the example I already listed are pretty obvious.&nbsp; If you can&#039;t admit that is politics then I don&#039;t know what to tell you.&nbsp; Why wasn&#039;t Xen offered to choose a player not on the reserve list for instance?&nbsp; I am happy LB got on DMR don&#039;t get me wrong but stuff like this happens more than the IDL will admit.&nbsp; In the past it often happened before the mid season draft when some team needed a new guy and couldn&#039;t wait, they&#039;d get a new player, but not top talent from the mid season draft.<br /><br />[quote author=Ralphis link=topic=178.msg1575#msg1575 date=1267209284]<br />Why not let two players TDM in ZDDL instead of playing a 1on1?<br />[/quote]<br /><br />Are you joking here?&nbsp; CTF is a team game, ZDDL is duel, do you not see the difference?&nbsp; We play 3v3, 4v4 and up in private all the time.&nbsp; There is no schedule difference for a 3v3 or 4v4, if both teams have 4 and want to play 4v4, why not?&nbsp; Everyone gets to play then.&nbsp; Isn&#039;t that what the IDL is about?&nbsp; I guess not.&nbsp; Ralph to you the IDL is about winning at all costs, conspiring to victory and rigging the rules in your favor.&nbsp; I want to have a lot of fucking fun and I still believe the best way to do that is make the goal of having IDL seasons end up with every team .500 records.
