As well as that.. .look, guys I'm willing to be indulgent, but if you have a race with which you're skilled beyond the parameters of 'newbie'.. why are you here?

Your skill overall exceeds that of those who *are* newbies, and you'll certainly pick up one of your alt races faster than they may be learning their current race (not even getting into their other ones). I'm all cool with you hanging out in channel and chatting it up and the like, but as far as the actual league (well when I set it up -_-) goes, I honestly think you'd be better off playing in PGT or WGT or whatever. :/

i think that's a good suggestion already many skilled PGT players pointed out, even D to D+ is a big skill difference

lets talk in TL.NET time! i m confused with teh Aus EST time? O.o... we wouldnt ahve to convert it to our time if we just follow teh time of this website no?

my t/p are d (maybe my p is d+, but i seriously doubt i could get higher than that unless i played tons of games), and i like playing with my other races, but never feel like playing pgt with them because i'll lose to easily. hell, i haven't even really felt like playing pgt with z lately, i like playing friendly games more.

Why don't we just make it a channel where newbies come to get games for now? People have been meeting a fair amount of new partners to play with.

As well as that...a lot of more skilled people there are willing to help the lesser skilled. It's interesting. :D

Edit: Channel op TNL will be a channel where people who want a game go to, there will be a tournament...but its date is yet to be released. Tracil and myself will be organising everything and will let everyone know of its date + time.

I know what you mean. It's a lot more fun to play against people you know than to play random people on PGT. It's also nice to take a break and play Z/T rather than P sometimes, but I don't want to do it on PGT where I'm already well-challenged when I play toss. Or if I did, then I'd want a second account for it, which I think is illegal? I don't know where my Z and T would rank, but I would definitely be losing against these D people I've been playing if I had to play Z/T vs Z/T, and probably losing vs P too .

Someone should make an intermediate league for players like us who aren't newbie (I hope!) but not really "good" either, especially with the holidays soon to be all up on us . op TIL anyone? Actually, since there probably isn't enough interest to start up an op TIL right now, and since op TNL doesn't sound like it's overflowing or anything, I don't see what would be wrong with going to op TNL to see if anyone there is around D-level and willing to play, as long as we warn people we're looking for roughly-D-level games and avoid newbie-bashing. They wouldn't have to be league games either =P.

nah its not illegal, you can have as many accounts as u want as long as u don't abuse with them. and just come into op tnl, i was idling there for a while tonight, and probably will be for an hour or two more =o i'd be happy to play games.

Are you available to play at 11:25? I should be home at that time, and looking for something to do besides studying for exams . (I'll reply if I'm not going to be home after all)

op TNL certainly isn't overflowing, and I've got no problem with anyone hanging out there.

I guess for now as long as you make your skill clear to people before you play, it's all good. I'm sure some newbies don't mind playing anyone at all, though. I know I don't. =p

Oh shit, somehow 30 minutes flew by and it's 11:15 already; I missed my ride home . So I won't be back until 12:25 at the earliest =/. Well, on the plus side, at least I'll get more studying done...

(although I'll still be looking to play SC when I get home...)
