But how to place people in groups if you can sort them by skills

of course it should be:

But how to place people in groups if you can't sort them by skills

perhaps they do, pink. but it still has nothing to do with skill.

if everything is decided by 3 players here it seems rather like communism here, rather than democracy.

1. yes it does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_coefficients

2. this doesn't even make enough sense to respond to

But how to place people in groups if you can sort them by skills?

Honestly, you could even let people self-assign to groups. Looking at that group I would be in group B or possibly C (assuming groups of 5).

I would also be happy with somebody like General Arun assigning people to groups as he probably knows the players well enough to do that.

I'd rather do random than the seperate tournaments and the top 2 advance to A, next 2 advance to B, etc. Here's my reasoning: If I have to play 4-5 less skilled players to get into A, it's the same as if it was random and I ended up in B and most of the best players were in A.

That's why I won't play unless we do it by voting or a committee...

I agree with Mr Pink. Let everyone pick their tier. If someone wants to start in tier 1 and sucks, well then they are just going to lose all their games. I think everyone can assess were they fall.

Seahawks
Arun
Apollo
JSA
Miyagi
Frank
Kszyhoo
Mr. Pink apex
Chris
Pushover
Blue Monkey
Gnuffone
Peace
Rento
Ironheart
Mirror
Turing
MilitaryManiac
Clifford
Summer
Possibly Ineffable

So 20-21 players. When are you going to start this, Seahawks?

Chris, I'm not sure if I agree with letting players pick their own tiers. You might end up with 12 guys in Tier 1 then, and 2 guys in the lowest tier. Imo its better just to vote.

let's vote. i agree with Jsa, is better divided in base of skill.

You might end up with 12 guys in Tier 1 then, and 2 guys in the lowest tier.

And then at this point it would be up to the committee to decide.

pulsey, you dont know what i think, if the groups are based on skill, its easier to have the few people who have been playing warlight the longest and know everyone to vote on people, because they are the most likely to actually know everyones skill level, i would be happy to have the list that jsa came up with help me to determine peoples skill level if that is the option decided upon

First step is to determine cut off date (when list of players for season 1 becomes final)

Also, a good idea might be to post an open tournament letting people know about this thread. Lots of players never check the forums

wow, i wasnt expecting it to fill up so quickly, i was thinking groups of 6, 2 games at once, 3 day direct and auto, vacations honored (unfair to lose games just because you have something in rl) but if the vacation is super long (30 days or more) then you will be kicked out of the league, i will start when i get 30 people (i think 5 groups at first is a healthy number, and then maybe adding a group or two more later on, but i think it would be unfair if it is super popular to have some people take seven seasons to finally get competition, so i dont want too many groups

OK looks good I'm in
as to 1st season dividing of players I think it is not so important
but if i have to choose i would go with random dividing to even groups and 1st go to group 1 2nd to group 2 etc
or
do like in the warlight champions league and divide all player into tier 1,2,3
and have 2 of each tier in each group
after that divide them based on results again 1st go to group 1 2nd to group 2 etc

once again here is the poll http://poll.pollcode.com/isbx1

I'll join.

If we are doing Tiers i would like to go tier 2, I'm not very good at Guiroma, but I would like to have a challenge and play against better players.

Tried to vote twice but couldn't. Fucking democracy

Is there still room?

yes, i will create a new thread announcing that season 1 is guroma, and linking all the tourneys and stuff, people can join until that happens

I'd put myself in Tier 2 - same as Apollo.

So we decidevto let to people pick their tier?
