A Cry for Help - Native Warband Tournament

[Fyre]

Hi,
So I don't get to play on cRPG often, so I realize I'm not particularly well known over here. But I'm coming here because of a difficult position in Native Warband that our North American Community is facing right now.

Here's what happened:
After the previous battle tournament, the next one got started as its usual course. The NANL (North American Native League) was supposed to start, but some people did not like the ruleset and particularly didn't like that the NANL allowed european players to play, so they made their own tournament, which does not support getting east coast servers for EU players in the tournament. The fact is, our NA community is extremely small as it is, and any breaking it up will be catastrophic for the community.

Right now, we're in a sort of stalemate where many clans do not want to sign up for either tournament because they're afraid of supporting the one that doesn't get the most support in the end.

So I'm here asking if any players, any clan, etc, would be willing to make a team and sign up for the NANL (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,272185.0.html). Basically, if we can just start getting teams signing up, we'll be able to convince more teams to sign up, and just sorta snowball our way into fixing the schism. If we don't fix it, we're gonna end up with no tournament or 2 tournaments with like 4 teams each (which is pointlessly small. We're already a tiny community).

In addition, I think cRPG players in a Native tournament might be funnn .

Please feel free to contact me if you're interested.

um...do we put up the Christo signal for this?  I think we might need to consult the dramaturge rulebook for native-driven NA drama.

Yay Tristan!!!

Man, if anyone can get things happening, then its TKoV. They were always... interesting to play with if my memory serves me ;)

should be the tournament thread. I fixed it in the OP, thanks.

And I know, Native drama has no place here, and dw I'm not trying to cause more drama. I just really don't want to see our already tiny community split up even more. The less people we have, the less we can enjoy ourselves, compete, host tournaments, and things like that. And the best way to keep everything together is just to get the most amount of people signed up for the NANL as I can, so thats what I'm trying to do. Thanks for your interest

Wouldn't mind playing some native tourneys. Been a very long time since I've played native though.

I dont get whats the big deal. Why not let the EU-s play the damn tournament, especially when there are people even willing to stick the server up for it? Are they so insecure, afraid of loosing or is there a legit good reason? What are those player frightened that when EUs show up they cant say things like "I am the 5th best player in NA" or getting a title of 11th best player in NA  or something is so important to them? Getting those titles isnt so grand when the overall number of competitors its lacking.

I agree completely. I honestly don't know why there's so much hate for them, but some people and clans just really hate playing with european teams. I think a lot of them are just unwilling to admit that some people can play better than them with high ping. Also many of the people against it are farther west, and are unwilling to play at 70-90 ping (which I think is stupid considering the EUs will be playing at 100+ anyway).

I happen to like both cRPG and Native. But lets leave discussion of what mod is better or worse out of this thread.

Aha, yes. cRPG archer team!!

[SirCymro_Crusader]

Ah native.

Where shielders are ballerinas
Where archers are really snipers incognito
Where macro feints rule the roost

Ah native don't we just love you!

Native can be fun, but with those archers it just makes the game unplayable which sucks really - kinda what cRPG is turning into :3

Good luck with the tourney though Baron

Oh boy.

That would be popcorn worthy.

[Vodner]

Native competitive battle is a lot better than native public battle, so anybody interested should give this a shot.

Where macro feints rule the roost

I've never really seen any macro feinting in native duel. I've seen lots of very effective thrust/sideswing/repeat feints that take practice to block, but nothing that can't be pulled off manually with a little bit of practice.

[Fyre]

I'm gonna lock this. The community is finding ways to compromise. Obviously we would still love any cRPG teams to join (whaddup tkovvvv), but we've moved away from the direness of the situation

[CrazyCracka420]

I'm game if anyone wants a ringer on their team...

I'm only able to play a couple nights on, then I'm off for a couple nights, and am only around every other weekend...

[Kafein]

Oh boy.

That would be popcorn worthy.

Do you imagine the amount of spam those poor native pro players will have to go through
