IMPORTANT POLL

Alright we'll I'm just going to go Pontius Pilate on this one since I have totally mixed feelings.



This will close on the 9th right before the draft.

This question is pretty stupid... I assume it has to do with SB's proposed dividing in 2. Which would mean make the real poll question this.

Can a team split in two to secure play time for its members?

IMPORTANT POLL CONCERNING NEW TEAMS/sB






No, this question asks the core question. A ruling against Arca/Marine forming a second team sets a precedent that a player may not leave his own team to start another because that is exactly what I would be doing: preventing two sB members from starting a different team. That is really the question I'm asking too, I have some idea where people stand on the specific sB instance, but I want to know what the players of the league think overall about whether or not people should be allowed to leave a team to start a new one

The concern is that friends and ex teammates have a greater likelihood and incentive to conspire in order to aid one another. If it were true that Arca, and many of his future teammates were not friends with Birde and his remaining teammates, then yes, it would change the entire nature of the situation. But note, it would change the situation entirely, we are not in that position whatsoever.

Birdie, i' m sorry to say your approach here is wrong. To recruite other player IS part of managing/running a team. If you are recruiting players for them, thats not a good start at all. As Lmaster said, running a team is okay if done by others. Running means also in my experience recruiting players. If you are recruiting the players, during the league these players will see you no matter what as some kind of reference. I saw the LOL posts, but lol is a different game, tuned in to a stream once didn' t understand anything remided me of warcraft 3 (which i believe it comes from). This situation is going to cause harm to the league. Mark my words. If you really want this to work, my advice is let Arca/marine deal with recruiting, let them decide which players your going to be splitting. Maybe you are doing things like this already, anyway sometimes it is best to do nothing at all and let others in order to make things happen in the best of ways.

So your using draft players to fill sB, then your splitting that team in 2. Where as you recruited everyone into stealth bunnies but only half u will captain? Nope zero sense.

Arca n marine are captaining Half of sB? Thats wat happening? You think thats fine?

As I said before, the team that Arca and TheMarine are going to run is already essentially complete; but for the split to go ahead, sB that I'm running needs a couple more players. If we can't find any more then the split won't happen. Right now Arca and TheMarine are not captains of any team, I'm captain of around 11 players. If I find 3 more people to join my team then I will request for Arca and TheMarine to leave along with 5 other players, to form their own team for the duration of this league. Then there will be their team and my team. Right now, there is only my team, and I am recruiting for them, and I am allowed to recruit as many as I want for them. I'm not recruiting them for Arca/Marine's team, I'm recruiting them for my team, Team Stealth Bunnies.

What's going to happen is a team SPLIT, not arca/marine leaving to form a new team per se. It'll be half of an old team forming a new team, not two players forming a new team. They will be their own team, don't get me wrong, they're running it not me (gl with that guys ;D). Until the team is split, I'm in charge.

Birdie has stated and it was the only reason i objected. That arca n marine would be leaving if they hit 14 members SB would split n arca and marine would go with 5 others to start a new team. To ensure its fair for all to get a game. I cant construct a post with the quotes. but if you show me were it says arca n marine wanna leave SB n make a brand new team from scratch i'd appricate it.

We're basically in that position, in that it would be Arca and probably TheMarine running the second team, and the members would be new people to sB, so in that sense they're not longtime friends.

Which Birdie are you talking to?

That certainly does change the read some

Did not realize the split would be taking so many sB members to the new team. Perhaps what Birdie meant by new recruits is these people he is trying to recruit now between seasons who have essentially never played on sB would be the ones going to the new team. Arca and the Marine taking a bunch of new guys Birdie grabbed in the last week is indeed a little different than them taking say Icedraco, Taeyoon, and another random guy or three.

EDIT: I think the poll is still correct though, as the wording explains that a yes vote means ok with sB splitting. If you don't think it is clear enough, feel free to suggest an alternate wording and I could restart it.
