This would be a good idea but if this happens then their actual games would show an obvious skew towards one race or group of MU, therefore disqualifying them under the current rules. Thank you for the suggestion though, I do appreciate it and if there is anything that anyone feels is missing, feel free to let me know.




DAY -6 EVENT:


The first day of registration is over and we currently have 17 confirmed players and 2 applicants that require further information in order to be eligible (you know who you are!). Just 6 more days to go! I'm very excited and look forward to more applicants as well as more suggestions for this league. Because this league isn't super-duper serious and is RANDOM, I think it's okay to be flexible in matters that could benefit the league.

That being said, this is one thing I wanted to spring on you all by surprise (somewhat; it's mentioned in the OP), but I think it might be better if I get your input first. At least once a week during the ladder stage there will be a random event. The random event will work like this: I will have a few options number 1 through X, and then I will randomly generate a number and that event will occur. Instead of forcing them upon you and suffering the chance that they might be universally hated (although that might put a dark twist on this league haha xD), I will let you vote and make suggestions!

** = Please consider the fact that having too many super-strong events could alter the league too much, and that having weaker events dilutes the chances of the stronger ones occurring, making them more special!!

You should maybe make an optional "RSL Ladder time", where the randomly Randoms join iCCup in a pre-set channel. If there are only 19 players in a ladder, it will be probably pretty difficult to only play RSL players on a regular ladder basis.

What do you think?

The day is finally here!



RANDOM STARLEAGUE'S LADDER STAGE IS NOW OPEN!

Good luck and have fun to all of you!

REMINDER: SIGN-UP IS STILL OPEN. PLEASE SIGN UP IF YOU'RE INTERESTED!




First and foremost:

UPDATE
  1. Added "Events" header in the OP for quick navigation of previous events and easy access to the newest one.
  2. Removed "Random Event" option 3 (Remove random amount of points from random player) by popular consensus.
  3. Added "Random Event" option 3, 9, 10, 11. They are as follows:
    i. Random poll
    ii. Re-roll the random event (basically run the random number generator again)
    iii. Random mandated BoR# (Random #) between two random players, with reps made public and potentially a cast.
    iv. Explanation of a random process I undergo to create something requiring the random number/word generator.
  4. I'm sure some of you may be wondering what will happen to the tournament if we don't get enough players. I have come up with the following potential outcomes:
    a. If there are at least 32 players by the end of the Ladder Stage, the Ro32 will still be held.
    b. If there are any less, a Ro16 will ensue instead.
    c. If the number of players detrimentally affects players' ability to get games to the point of nonsequitur, the Ladder Stage will be terminated prematurely and the tournament proper will begin with either the top 16 or top 32 players.
  5. Reminder: please continue to make suggestions for Random Events, and for anything else! Thank you.




DAY 0 EVENT


As today is the first day of the Ladder Stage, I have randomly decided to make the day upon which this first random event occurs to be non-random, in other words, today. [PS: You have no idea how hard it is to structure sentences with so much randomness x_x]

Today's randomly generated event is 3, the Poll Event (would have been random removal of points, good thing we snipped that in the bud!). For this first event, I would like you to all choose what your favorite randomly generated alias is! I find etymology and words to be very interesting, and I am also interested in what words appeal to people. It can be the most badass, the silliest, or the most random one; whichever is your favorite! There will be two polls, and then the top 2-3 names of each poll will be put in one poll later, with the winning name receiving a full etymology and definition.

Vote away!

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

There have been at least 3 players online today in the first hour just at different times! Unfortunately due to our relatively small playerbase (for now), games will be harder to find, but be patient, the games will come ^^;

One idea: if you host a game, even when no one's online, then people can join when they log on (make the games RSL1/1 for example), and then it's a matter of you both looking at the screen at the same time.

EDIT: Games are being played ^^

GLHF all!

Randon Event suggestions:

A. Two randomly selected players are forced to play in an FFA match against each other along with a random number of computer opponents. The map is randomly chosen by the administrator. A random number of points is awarded for the win.

B. Up to eight randomly selected players are forced to play in an FFA match against each other. The map is randomly chosen by the administrator (could be a non-iccup map). A random number of points is awarded for the win.

C. Four randomly selected players are forced to play in a 2v2 Team Melee match. The map is randomly chosen by the administrator. A random number of points is awarded for the winning team.

edit...
D. Up to eight randomly selected players are forced to play in a "race wars" melee match against each other. The map is randomly chosen by the administrator (could be a non-iccup map). A random number of points is awarded for the winning team.
