Title: MURRICCA Clan League
Post by: Hobb on April 19, 2013, 05:06:38 pm
Greetings fellow North American-ers,
Every hard working man and women from this continent take a moment to stop, pat yourself on the back. C’mon, do it! You've earned it. You champions of capitalism, such prestigious examples to the rest of the world. Finally, there is a reward given for your centuries of hard work, something to help aid those long years of back pain, carrying the rest of the world. So without further salivating anticipation, I give to you…..

The MURRICCA Clan League

visitors can't see pics , please register or login



Over the past few weeks, many of NA's best masterminds have been working on bringing a competitive clan v clan league together. We have tried to put the best possible rules together to make this as casual and easy to manage as possible. Everything will be tracked and recorded on a thread in the events board. We started with a committee of gentlemen and came up with some cool things. The guys involved were: Turboflex, BlackWhite, Tom Cruise, Mr. Shine, Malaclypse, Ascalon, Hobb, Robert.

Rules are not final, we will be having an exhibition week starting this weekend and have an official start to the season next week.

Overview:
-All matches will be played on the Raven 30 slot server
-Matches will be 8v8
-All matches will be best 2-out-of-3 maps, with each map being a best 3-out-of-5
-Any clan or group is allowed to make a team, but players can only be on one team
-Teams will have to have every possible player listed on their roster, updated on the official thread (no limit to roster length)
-Each team will have to pick 2 armor sets, and every player in play must wear the specified items. Will be tracked on the official thread


Match Rules:
/Restrictions
-No more than 3 ranged players in play per team (inc hybrids)
-No more than 3 cavalry players in play per team
-No more than 4 total cavalry or ranged players in play per team
(Mounted range counts as 2)
-No more than 1 horse warhorse or higher in play per team
-No weapon restrictions

/A 40k gold limit is set server side to restrict gear
-Looms are allowed

Matchmaking weekdays 6est-11est     weekends 5est- 1am est **with special requests**
-Matches may be scheduled by clans and played out as long as they don't interfere with another match
-Each clan is responsible for deciding how many matches a week (monday-sunday) they would to be matched for
-Each clan may pick up to 3 days in which they CANNOT be scheduled for a match
-A matchmaking schedule will be released every Sunday/Monday for the next weeks matches, inc specific times
NOTE: Once the schedule is released, clan captains are allowed to cancel/move/change time of any match they are directly involved in, as long as it fits schedule
-Matches must have at least 1 admin on to be played, a fact more than a rule :P

Admin/Refs
-Each team may have their own admin(s) if they follow:
A) Each team submit possible candidates to be reviewed (ask them before you nominate please)
B) The candidate(s) are agreed on by the committee
C) Agree to come to a short tutorial on how to admin a server/match

So... What to do so we can get this thing started?

Clan leaders should, after declaring they are interested, put their admin nominees in this thread, you can put as many as you like.
DO NOT put your rosters, gear choices, matchmaking restrictions in this thread, or you will just have to do it again. Finally, go tell all your friends, get everyone involved. Also, nothing is final, so if you have awesome suggestions or would like to get involved let me know.

Feedback welcome

Glad to be of some minor help with this (basically just sat in teamspeak and said, yes, that sounds reasonable, or IDK about that). In future meetings I would like to enforce Robert's Parliamentary Rules of Order. Hobb has the floor?

I think we decided that the "-No more than 30 leg armor total" thing was actually only referring to boots, and that any leg armor added by the body piece would not be counted as part of that (so actual max leg armor value of 52 + looms; Heavy Strange/Eastern-Star Scale + no gloves + helmet + 30 leg armor boots). That's the case, right gents?

Sittingbull has final say as clan-leader, but I can confirm there is interest from Astralis to be a part of this! 

Sittingbull requested admin, and I'd offer my services since I have admin background on NA official servers.  We might need another person if we don't have good coverage, but that can probably come later.

Is the other thread for gear restrictions etc in the process of being created, or have I missed it somewhere?  I'd be happy to help make that if we need one.

Yes. For limits it's: 50 Total Body, 50 Total Head (though you can't even use a Gothic Plate with Bevor so that Total is superfluous) , 30 Leg from boots.

If any of you other currently unaffiliated players (or players who wanted to try participating but don't yet have enough interest in your own clans to do so) wanted a squad, I'm looking to form one to test some tactics. The composition I specifically wanted to try includes:

1. Three to four 2h players
2. Two to three spearmen (either hoplite or long spear works here)
3. Two hybrid cavalry (either 1h or lancer is fine)

Send me a message if you want to play. Note that if you are not one of the above classes but are a good player, I am more than willing to change things around and accommodate you if necessary.

Post by: Turboflex on April 23, 2013, 07:34:41 pm
wow I didn't even see this thread cuz it was on this forum lol

Check out Raven server right now there is 40,000 gold limit to spawn atm which basically lets you spawn with a top end weapon and about 50-55 armor. If I want to spawn with say 2 stacks of jarids, a destrier, or a xbow + bolts you basically have to drop my armour down to 40 so I think that adds a neat trade off. Also all this stuff will be UNLOOMED cuz looms really eat disproportionally (relative to statistical value) into gold value consumed so they are pretty useless under these settings which is a great way to police loom use IMO.

We can tweak that gold # easily so check it out and give us some feedback.

Also that's why I would say a team should come up with 3 uniforms one for heavy infantry, one for medium (for hybrids and agi shielders/spearmen) and one for light (archers).

Anyway I hope to have some scrims this week, we have one setup for FCC wednesday, and hopefully Remnants and/or TKOV thursday. If a clan wants to scrim on the server let me know and I can start setting up admin accounts so you can change stuff like maps, pw and other basic admin stuff.
Title: Re: MURRICCA Clan League
Post by: MrShine on April 23, 2013, 07:52:29 pm
The 40k gold limit seems pretty good, I didn't even realize that looms get adjusted for this in game (my default gear is worth 18k, but as masterworks I was at 35k on the server  :shock:).

The one critique I have with this is it hard caps cav at a naked large warhorse with like 5k to spare, and a warhorse with ~7k to spare.  That could be a bit of an issue for balance & class inclusion, but I suppose we can tweak as needed as we go.
Title: Re: MURRICCA Clan League
Post by: Turboflex on April 23, 2013, 08:35:57 pm
yeah I really like the way it inflates looms so much. Solves the issue quite nicely without us having to rely on some sort of honor system or just allowing them so vet clans with large armories have a huge advantage.

In the hands of a skilled player a warhorse can be devastating to infantry formations and has great survivability against ranged so I don't think it's too unreasonable a trade off that if you want to go with such a powerful anti-infantry horse that you also have to accept some pretty heavy penalties of basically leather armor and a mediocre weapon.  More medium level horses like Destrier and Barded should fit in with most medium level armor/weapon load outs at that gold cap.

Fuckin Strat. Also, am I supposed to be getting some sort of PM updates from Hobb or something? I don't think I got added to that list he was talking about. Is there a place where pubbies/non-combatants/anyone can look up the battle schedules? Is there gonna be? It'd be nice to be able to go into the server early when I knew there was gonna be a scrim-set so I could like, make some shitty recordings of it that I never share or whatever, or just spectate for fun.

Post by: MrShine on April 25, 2013, 04:53:02 pm
So according to this thread so far, the following clans/people are interested:

Clans/groups:
FCC - Admin requests are ???
Raven - Admin requests are ??? (but since it's their server I imagine this won't be hard for them to fill in)
TkoV - Admin requests are Hobb (I assume) and ???
Astralis - Admin requests are Sittingbull & MrShine
Arys' Peasant Team - Admin requests are ???
LL - possibly, due to being a bunch of unreliable fucktards (allegedly)

Players looking for group:
Equal
Gmnotutoo
Malaclypse
Dynamike
Ascalon
Earthdforce
Honeydew


So it looks like we still need people with admin requests, and we need more damn teams! 

Organizing committee folk, I could draft up a thread for folks to submit their desired schedules, and that could be the place where matches are announced and results are logged if you'd like.

I thought Ascalon & TomCruise were gonna organize an independent team?

A lot of larger NA clans still haven't commented.

I would like to get some exhibition matches going to fine tune rules, scheduling, maybe get some recordings up to promote things for slackers, drum up more interest. We were supposed to scrimmage FCC last night but I think Bale forgot.

So who wants to scrimmage soon?

I have a man cave lan party going on this weekend, so while I'll be busy with other games I'll be available enough to say that Astralis is interested!  I'm going out on a limb, but I bet we'd get enough people.

Let's schedule something & go from there.  Nights are generally best, Friday Saturday and Sunday nights are all probably game, I propose Saturday night.

Im not forming a team, Ascalon asked me to join his team. But due to me not playing as frequently and being busy, I wont really be playing on his team much. More of a backup or substitute. I mainly just want to sideback on the sidelines and manage this bitch and make sure everything is runnin smoooove. I will participate in a few of the battles though  :D

/Armor Sets must follow: 50/50/30 PRE LOOM VALUES
-No more than 50 total head armor
-No more than 50 total body armor
-No more than 30 total leg armor
-Looms are allowed

since you said nothing is set in stone yet...

my team and i cant be the only 1 with this question. y are we aloud only 2 armor sets and 50/50/30? some people have unique armors for the build they use and shouldnt have to put their looms aside just to fight in the battles. there are benefits and disadvantages to using light and heavy armors. just thought id ask  :P
Title: Re: MURRICCA Clan League
Post by: BlackWhite on April 27, 2013, 05:52:13 am
There is a hardcap on your gold loadout limit.  40k, that takes into account looms.  A +3 effectively doubles the cost of the loom. 

Go onto our server to test out your loadouts before Sunday.

Was a good run through tonight on the scrim. The gold restriction might be a little too much with the armor value restrictions as well.

Has there been any thought to clans/battlegroups putting up money in a pool for the winners. How can this be an American clan league without people throwing their money away for greed?

Would also be cool to have a peasant league with a 100 gold restriction, 45k league, and unlimited league.

I will talk to the guys and see what they thought of the restrictions. (besides us fighting like crap)

I personally was able to use most of my normal battle server gear... but I generally run a lighter build. I think on the website my value fully loaded is like $28,000.. I am not able to run it due to the loom increase on the server (but I come close have to drop my boots and my axe)

The rest of the guys might have had a harder time

Just to clear up confusion ATM there are no restrictions on gear or classes. The stuff Hobb talks about in his OP is not official yet, and while we might add rules in the future it's subject  to further testing.

Right now on the server there is a 40,000 gold gear limit (functions like that EU "newbie" server limited to lvl 20). At 40,000 the limit "soft caps" armor at about 50-55  and also as people have noted, looms basically double the "price" of gear making their possible use very limited.

We are currently in a phase where everyone should just be trying to get their roster together and start organizing some exhibition scrimmages to get a feel for the settings and your rosters.

Think it would be good to be in matching gear as well... had a feeling the ravens were dog piling me in that scrim. hah fcc helped a ton with that by fighting as individuals. we will lock it down

That was the original plan, to have team select 2 armor sets that don't exceed 50 total body & head armor, and legs that don't exceed 30 leg by themselves, to make teams look more unified.  That was before Raven figured out how to set the money cap, which IMO is a more elegant solution even if it might make battles look slightly more messy.

Main problem IMO is how we fine tune that value to allow for different classes (heavy cav comes to mind as a possible issue).  But right now we just want to get scrims going and start hammering out details!

I would like to volunteer myself to any players looking for an extra member for their scrim team. I can play whichever you like, hoplite, polearm, or long spear (i recommend long spear!). PM me if you're interested in having me on your roster.

Or I can volunteer as a stand-in, just add me on steam @ Tanken and I could possibly fill slots if needed.

So to clarify the looms question.

We are allowed to use looms but a loomed item is double the price correct? As long as I am under 40k using this increased value I am fine?
Title: Re: MURRICCA Clan League

Yes, as long as you can cram it in you can equip it.

When we scrimmed FCC last night I don't think there were any problems with this basically unrestricted setup. The only problem was that most of the FCC members hadn't logged into the server before, so weren't ready and didn't have proper unloomed gear so I would recommend you Atralis guys check it out before Thursday or show up a bit early Thursday and test it out cuz most likely you'll need to buy some new unloomed gear to fit in.

Also one thing that is possible if you are trying to cram in say a heavy horse is you could have your cav guy spawn with the horse and whatever armor is possible for him, and then have someone else with extra room spawn with weapons/shield for him so you might want to consider that before filling up leftover gold limit with super expensive looms. This is something we may want to make a rule against in the future but for now we aren't playing with any rules so it's legit.

Oh crap, I missed the first scrim already?  :(

Can we put a schedule together so we can see upcoming scrims ahead of time? A list of events by date in the OP would be great.

"Okay, the plan is to split up and take them on one on one.

Shit, that wasn't team chat."

You all thought I was joking.  Even my teammates thought I was joking.  Well, you all thought wrong.  P.S. Good fight Ravens I had a lot of fun even if my teammates were raging the whole time.

I'm looking to form one to test some tactics. The composition I specifically wanted to try includes:

1. Three to four 2h players
2. Two to three spearmen (either hoplite or long spear works here)
3. Two hybrid cavalry (either 1h or lancer is fine)
What's there to test with that kind of a line-up? Also, I'm down.

Yes, I don't think we'll have a time limit to register.  Worst case you miss out on a few scheduled matches, but go for it!

Also we're hoping to have a scrim w/ PRO clan tonight (Sunday 5/12) @ 11 PM EST.  Ensuring we have a full 8 player roster is next step... Dildos I'll be in & out on steam, but feel free to message and I'll try to check.

As long as the characters are in the roster & you aren't on multiple teams I don't think there's a problem with it.  If people change their names & stuff though update the roster/let us know to avoid confusion.  Also you'll probably want to accrue some gold so you can buy gear for the scrims :)

I think this one & ascalons are mostly outdated compared to mine, since I took info from both of these threads to create mine & keep it updated.  That said, I don't think there's any problem with people who might want to set up some unofficial scrims on the Raven server before official schedule stuff - just let Raven folks know, or if you're one of the proposed admins for your team hit up a Raven guy for the admin password to their server and you can probably access it to scrim whenever.

I'll update my thread in just a minute with the newest changes.

Cool, alright ;) Some of us here are itching to scrim. Practice could be good as well too. Raven_Blackwhite & Raven_Turboflex are the ones who I should be messaging, correct?
