Gemp-LotR Leagues - schedule, ideas, results, etc

[Grond]

Guys, I have a great League suggestion !
Let the players who finished their games for points, to continue to play league games, without getting any points or prizes for that, BUT influencing their tiebreakers! So if you start losing a lot, after the initial games for points, you will be last from the all players with the same number of points, but you have a chance to improve your tiebreakers too! Most of us want to play more non-casual games in every format, and that will give us the option to do that. That will also help players who struggle to find opponents for their league games at certain hours/days.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I can't think of any downsides.

I would also propose that there ALWAYS be leagues for Fellowship, Movie, and Expanded, as those are the three most popular formats on Gemp.

[Grond]

Actually I got no idea why there is no running league of every format anyways... I think it should be something weekly, instead of every now and then. And that combined will my ticket system, will be very healthy to the more competitive group of players on GEMP...

Great idea on both points, I just don't know how much work for MarcinS that would be. If its not too complicated to be done, i'm all for it. I find myself out of League matches very fast and would love to play more with some of the decks in competitive environment.

[sgtdraino]

The impression I get is that it's mostly automated, once it's set up.

[Cthulhu]

It is, but since I don't know how the Gemp works, i cant tell how much work is there for him to set the proposed changes up. Maybe its just few clicks away, maybe he has to write some additional code or something. Hope its the first, because I really like the idea. For example, in the now running TT League people are already struggling to find opponents who havent played their games yet.

The downside would be that if you continue to lose, you force your former opponents to play on because their tie breakers will drop because of you.

[sgtdraino]

Well, if you continue to win, your opponents' scores get better, right? So ultimately the tie is still dependent on the average awesomeness of the people you beat, right?

The new Movie My Cards League is sheduled for 12-01-5172.  Think i'm gonna be too old for this.

[sgtdraino]

When do we get another Expanded league, dangit?

[Eukalyptus]

I take it after the Mount Doom league is finished.

[pbwebb]

I would really like to see some fresh new leagues. I think a great idea would be a Constructed Poorman's movie league, wherein only commons and uncommons are allowed. I think this would add some new variety to the game. What do you guys think?

[Cthulhu]

Expanded My Cards, really? Like there were any Expanded Dailys since the day they were announced. I thought it was accepted by now that very few expanded players bother to collect My Cards decks. I get it that this is supposed to encourage them to do so, but dont get your hopes up too high, sgtdraino. Like someone said, if there are less than 4 people who sign for this, I'll join that League

[Gil-Galad]

Hello guys,
I would appreciate an Expanded All cards Legaue. As said before, it's very diffucult to build a deck in expanded only with your own cards. Maybe we could play also more than only 1 series.

Thanks for thinking about my proposal

Expanded All Cards League just ended.
