Alright guys (and girls) the holiday season is upon us and I would like to start another league once the holidays are done. I'm looking for some ideas on what we could do.

So far the options are:

-repeat of Tile Wars Booster League
-renew the Bloomilk Booster League
-start Dynamic Duo League (would require selecting DD ahead of time)
-Fantastic Four (or as I like to say Fearsome Foursome) (would also require selected pieces)
-DOTF Boster league (would include DOTF pieces in place of some figures in booster)
-OTHER???

I'm open to suggestions and would love to get something going with 8-12 players in the league.

Please feel free to shoot me a BM or post on here any ideas. I just want some committed players in the league, that's all I ask.

Duo sounds a little thin for me for a league--I mean, it's always a bit of a hassle to find the time when both guys can play, and then once you do, to have it just be a duo game that's over in 15 minutes might seem like a bit of a letdown. That said, I do enjoy the duo format, so I'm not totally opposed.

I guess I'd just like to see another booster league of some sort. If it's a booster league that incorporates DOTF, then all the better.

I'm trying to think of how you can do booster of DOTF. Unless I hand pick the figures going out, there's no easy way to do that. Since DOTF doesn't follow the normal distribution of rarity it makes it hard to dish out figures in "booster" format.

So let me throw a couple of options out there:

1. Pick boosters initially, once boosters have been selected and opened by moderator, they will select (at random) 2 DOTF pieces to add to that person's collection.

2. Pick boosters initially. Play first week with currect figures and have the option of a real booster or a random assortment of DOTF figures (3-5) in place of the booster. You will still receive 7 figures, the remaining pieces would be existing figures from random sets to fill in the rest of the booster. (So you could possibly get 2 rares, but no more that 2 UC and 4 C).

3. Pure DOTF league. This would require that players will draft figures into their team. The best way to do this is to literally have everyone on Vassal at the same time and we roll to see who would get the first roll to pick. There would be 3 rounds, each containing 20 figures. Each person would roll the dice and would get the figure which has the number they rolled. Could be interesting to say the least.

What do you guys think?

From what I already know this will not follow the regular distribution. Most of the previews have been uniques (or only allowed to use 1 yammosk). It could be interesting to "build" boosters from figures from every set.

They will be given rarity, but it wont be the 8 VR, 8 R, 12 UC and 12 C. I don't remember what the distribution was for 60 character sets, but it will not follow that.

They will have assigned rarities for booster leagues - hopefully they get into the booster generator here. I wouldn't play DOTF on Vassal until after it's loaded in the BM database, though.

My vote would be for a booster league or for Fantastic Four.

Or for "Surprise Synergy" or whatever it was called. Each person brings 2 100-pt squads. Simultaneously each person selects one squad from the opponent's 2 options. Then you use the squad you selected from your opponent combined with the leftover squad that you brought. So you could bring 2 crappy squads or 2 great squads - as long as they're even it should work out. If you bring 1 great one and 1 crappy one, of course you'd get stuck with your crappy one.

One thing you could do for boosters randomized across sets...

For each of 7 figures, roll for a set, get a random booster, take the appropriate figure from that booster (R/UC/C). That's 14 times more per booster, but it might be easier than setting something up offline - depends on how many boosters you end up passing out.

Agreed. Everything simply runs smoother when both players are actively trying to communicate and get their game in.

Anyhoo, as for the next league, I'd like to see a peasant or Dynamic Duo league.

As you can probably tell, I have a couple of events created for Friday and Sunday (Since I get off of work on friday, and I wanted to run a couple of events). I am testing out a theory of getting people together all at once to play instead of going through a hundred e-mails (bloomails) to set up a time and a date.

My point. I would love to see a Booster league where everyone could just agree on a time during the week (or bi-weekly, or whatever) to get online and play out their games. Not only could you then play 2 or 3 games in a week (since everyone is right there at the same time), but there would be absolutely no confusion of missing games. I understand that we all have different schedules and live all around the world, but I do this with my RPG group every saturday night, and not only is it great to have the whole group be able to talk to each other (on skype, or vent, or whatever) but it also feels much more like an in-person tournament.

I wish the world was in such a way that we all lived in the same time zone and had the same free time where we could play 3-4 games at a time. Sadly that can't be.

@ED - Dynamic Duo would be fun, would def need some more support from the community in order to go this route though.

Can I just get a feeling of where everyone stands?

Please reply with what type of league you would most likely participate in.
