Hello Guys, everyone please read this...

Ok. I am thinking of, and percy has already given me the go-ahead if I would like, starting a game that would be held in the "Other Games" section. Similar to how leftys has run FITD, and taken that concept from WTAWorld, it seems quite successful. I would like to start a game that would incorporate some features of the games on WTAWorld that everyone here, or most here, seem to like. I think this would serve a few purposes:

1.)It would bring in our current members to this style of game and keep them more active at this forum. I.E. j-man, who so lost touch that he didn't realise he had won a Tier I on FTL. Another game that takes up a bit of time on the forum will keep our current members here longer and encourage talk and involvement in other sections:)
2.)It may encourage new members to sign up
3.)It should generally increase activity and help percy run this forum the way he wants it to be run!

Ok, I have quite a few ideas in mind for the game. Those who play games at WTAWorld will be familiar with the concept. Though it will not be a carbon copy of any game but it is designed from those games. It would not be too time-consuming at all. And EVERY MEMBER ought to sign up, or else I will come hunting you...only joking. But seriously, I think the likes of x.doublea/j-man/jbors and so on may find they quite enjoy it.

Hopefully it will be successful for the forum and good fun for you guys.

So, what do you think? If you guys are interested then I will start things off tomorrow...please let me know.

Also, all suggestions for the game, once it is up and running, are not only welcomed but are encourage - hopefully we can all change things and add things to make the game better.

But it will not be like FTL, it won't be quite as grand in scheme - just quite similar to a game from WTAWorld!

What do you guys say? Wink

i really like the idea NEA Cool good thinking


but will it be like on WTAworld where you can choose your own players or is it just your username like it is on FTL?

It will be choose your own player...I have not decided whether it will be WTA/ATP or both! That is something you guys can discuss.

Yes, similar to those games. Quite similar indeed. Just a bit of fun, the main game would still be FTL by far. But I thought it would add another dimension to this forum, you know, we are struggling right now.
leftys_rock

That sounds great! Very Happy Can't wait to see how it turns out. Smile
dav6789

Yeah tis a great idea!
Not_Even_Amateur

So would you guys (god, I am totally overusing that phrase right now) rather have women players, men players or a combination of both?

I would probably have to use some computer players to fill up some parts of the draw too, as we only have a small number of active members...but that would be ok.
dav6789

I would prefer either men or women, not combined (so it is realistic). Out of the two, I would prefer women players....That's my opinion.
PSALT

interesting...... we need other games for sure. I would sign up if we did it.

I would prefer a combination of men and women players. I call early dibs on Ana. Cool Wink
Not_Even_Amateur

I think that using men player's would make it a tad more interesting. But I see what you mean about realism dav...perhaps womens, as seen as people seem to want to choose women players more.

I will probably start a thread tomorrow of sign-up and rules etc.

I hope everybody will sign-up, that includes x.doublea, j-man, jbors etc!
Benchwarmer1

alright sounds good, and good luck NEA, hope it turns out well
x.doublea

This idea seems to be good... I have no idea how this game runs, though. I guess I'll know when the rules are posted. Wink
stevos14

sounds good!

im maria

can we vote on which points-style we would all like the most?

ps. I though ftl was going to try and incorporate some of these things anyway?

I don't think FTL are incorporating a points system. But more of a strategy: serve and volley etc.

There is a topic already created regarding rules and such stevos, go and read and sign-up there!
