MP: VS League

[DakaSha]

Hey everybody.

I am wondering if anybody would be interested in a 1 on 1 gaming league.

I personally find 1 on 1 games just as exciting as large games with the added benefit that they are quick and easier to manage. Also more turns being resolved in a shorter time gives more of a streaming gaming experience as opposed to the 'I WANT TO FRIGGEN PLAY SOME MP DOM NOW' syndrome

I am speaking of pbem games though and not blitz games. Pbem because everybody can play against everybody (no need to be on at the same time) and because there is no obligation to do ones turns as fast as possible (although there would be NO rollbacks... If extensions are needed they should be asked for. One could make it even more like a sports league by adding a maximum of three time outs rule or something which really should be enough) Also the score graphs would then be open to the (interested) public. If one uses an email client like Outlook or Thunderbird it is very very simple to play like this.

If this would prove to be popular we could start "official" 1vs1 ladders with separate divisions for the ages. The EAL, MAL and LAL. Also there could be votes on which maps to use. Of course non-ladder games could also be started through the leagues.

Now if we were totally hardcore we could even have a pro league in which every nation would have a voted for manager (the player that is considered the best with that nation) and yadda yadda... you get the point.

Anyways it would be interesting to me and I thought I'd throw it out there.
