Idea: CB "leagues" (in General)


Vaynard [Fees Dirt Cheap] March 6 2007 12:44 AM EST

Hello all. I figure it has been too long since last I came up with a post spreading wacky ideas and conjecture, so here you go! The new poll has me thinking, why limit those players dedicated and enthusiastic enough to spend the time and money to get the outrageous NW?

My idea: we divide CB land up into different Leagues (much like Realms.) The idea would be similar to professional sports, you allow players to compete with other players in a fair fight. Don't let super-heavy-weight champion freed beat up on the welter-weight guys.

We would need a basic breakdown. Teams could join Divisions 1-3 after 500k MPR. I would propose these randomly selected settings:
Division 1: Super-Heavy-Weight: teams above 150million NW
Division 2: Heavy Weight: teams between 50 and 149million NW
Division 3: Light Weight: team has under 50million NW.
Division 4: Kiddy League: under 500k MPR. Not allowed over 20million NW to be equipped.


Personally, I love this idea. Partially because it comes from me, and partially because it allows the USD-investors to shine still as the top dogs, but to let other players compete in lesser (but equal) titles. Thoughts?

Well -

This would be really annoying if someone in your fight list just kept on putting his or her gear on and off on purpose. Or someone who only uses their gear while they fight, and takes them off when they're not to avoid farming.

I like it, but, I don't see anything happening. I also, do not see my team as a Heavy Weight, I haven't invested USD and did crapola on my NUB and have 50 mil with my own items.

I believe it has been brought up once or twice.

That is a good point. Jon would have to implement a solution for that problem. One possible solution would be to have each team assigned a division, based on their current NW and MPR, every two weeks. After that setting, increasing NW beyond the upper limit would not be allowed (except in the case of tattoo growth). All Divisions would have an ammo allowance as well, which would be low for the light weights and increase for those on up.

Would that be enough of a fix for that problem? I still like the idea. And I'm told ultimaspock had a similar idea already, I'd love to hear opinions from that discussion. Maybe I'll see if I can find his thread sometime it's not so late. Night!

Looking at how Sut has a lower NW than anyone else up there than i can think of, are you going to put him in a league where he will own everyone, he allr eady owns pretty much everyone... minus freed and Pops...

Instead, why not have leagues with types like...

Naked league : No armor/amulets allowed. Only weapons and tats.

Bare knuckle league : No weapons/tats allowed. Only armor/amulets.

Singles league : Only single minions allowed.

True Grit league : No enchantments allowed.

Those are only examples. I am sure better ideas can be formulated.
