Norsca Union League

I think a limit of 1500 TV should allow most viable current teams to join in, counting journeymen you need to get to 11 players, but not counting bankroll. It seems like the consensus is that it's really not that big of a deal given inducements and all.

Did we actually agree on TV limit? Or is there none? Or did we conclude that 1400-ish is okay?

Anyway, I'll enter The Partly Animals when I get back this evening, and make necessary cuts if needed.

I was considering 1200 to 1300 as a fair limit. 1400 sounds a tad bit too much for my taste but I could of course live with it. Probably more interesting to hear what the coaches playing new teams prefer.

By the way, let's say we set the limit to 1300, I kick two useless zombies, get down to 1280 and sign on to the league. Then just before the first match I buy a ghoul for 70k and ends up with 1350 for the first match. Would that be ok? Even if I wait to the second match I still have a bonus of the 90k gold. So should I make sure to go down to 1230 instead?

I.e. what does a limit mean, is it a league sign on limit or a limit for the first match and/or a limit including possibilities?

That's a good point... I would think limit including possibilities is a bit too restrictive. It's not going to be completely "fair" either way of course. But the most problematic thing about facing high-TV teams as a fresh team is deadly skill combinations, not necessarily just all the positionals. After all, spending money can only get you rookies.

Well, I'm biased, as I would love to play The Partly Animals, but I cannot get them under 1300 without letting my wardancers go. So for purely selfish reasons, I would say 1400 is a good limit. I would still have to cut my thrower, or my treeman, but that's something I can live with. Based on the other experienced teams, 1400 seems a better fit as well.

I can understand that it might seem a bit high for fresh teams, so if the majority wants a lower TV limit, I'll just roll a new team. Been wanting to try orcs for a while anyway.

Looks like majority of the coaches will be playing with new teams, so we should probably set a quite low TV limit for old teams because I think one big group would be the most enjoyable format.

I agree.

I don't really see a huge problem with being only 6. Single division, 5 games each, and a final for the two top dogs perhaps?

We should perhaps have a reasonably low TV limit for old teams to allow for new ones, but I'm not sure exactly what that limit should be... 1400? 1500?

I'm in for season 10, but I haven't decided what team to bring yet. Could be a  new one, or any of my two previous teams (The Partly Animals, Disorganized Dudes).

I did not much like the divided structure of season 9, I must admit. Playing three other teams twice over was a little bit too much. If there's any way to bring it back to one big division this time around, I'll be happy to roll a new team or take TV cuts on my old ones to make it work.

Cool, logging in now!

Table top and beer sounds like a good Saturday :)

I was just writing that next Thursday sounded good, about to specify the date 28th, and then remembered there's actually a social event with work that day.. I didn't realize my calendar was this full. Still available Monday, Wednesday, Friday (I think) at 21 CET, as well as all of next weekend I believe (the 1st March one)

Lets go for next thursday then.

hmm... did you mis-type, mis-read, or did you actually mean Thursday 7th of March? I can't play 28th of Feb, as I at least tried to explain in a roundabout way. Dinner straight after work and then a stand-up gig, probably won't be home before midnight or something.

hehe *cough* Wednesday then....  ::) 21 right?

Yes, Wednesday 27th is good, 2100 CET is doable :)

Earlier is better, but 21 is ok. I'll probably try to pay attention to the forums if you're ready half an hour earlier or something.

I'm fine with that rule. Whenever I (suddenly) cannot play, I make sure to post in the forum, even if it's from my phone somewhere. Can't say I've had to wait for anyone, but can easily imagine it being very frustrating. So yeah, if you're a no-show without warning, an admin loss is fine.

Thanks JR!

So, Kvasil... here we go again.
When can you face our pretty ones?
I'm quite busy but Thursday could make it work around 21 CET.

Otherwise we are in next Tuesday... again 21 CET.

Oh man, I'm afraid both those days are impossible for me, booked both of those.

I can play pretty much any time Saturday, I can play today after work.

Next week, I can play pretty much any evening except Tuesday, since there's a pub quiz.

(sorry for not replying sooner)

Well, if we can't find another timeslot, we'll have to admin it I'm afraid. I can't play until Friday, and you can only play before then?

Don't think i will be abel to play any other day since i am going on a ski tripp this friday and will be gone for a week

/Lars

Well, results-wise it's probably not gonna change the league standings either way.
