I also mentioned that as long as no clan advertises themselves as only for the best or isn't selective to top players clans will take of. Umm...

Quote:Along with Mr. Banger, we will be creating the iPro clan, the simple, the best.
We want the best and expect nothing less, so this clan will be selective.

So simply you've been advertising to only the best players. I know that you haven't had any gifted or lower players apply but you can hardly blame them for getting intimidated.
You also saw that there were already 3 clans - SEAL Wolfpack and Ice clan, all of which were recruiting a verity of players

Quote:Clans can use these low ranked players to effectively field an all supertitan lineup

Isn't that basis for your argument null and void considering 5/8 members of your Clan are Supertitan?...

I'm sorry. I don't see why clans need to be balanced. In some sports you have salary caps, but many you do not. Essentially you are having a salary cap vs no salary cap argument. I don't think we should prevent teams from recruiting whatever players they want.

When you say my A-team B-team idea won't work, you're flat-out wrong. Why? Because it "working" isn't the same as satisfying your desire for all teams to be equal. That's not the intention. The A-team B-team idea is meant to allow all levels of players to compete.

I don't like restricting teams to create a balance the way you suggest because then it makes high level players have less chance to play in teams with many high level players. Being good at the game should never make you less desirable.

Honestly, if we don't go with some kind of A-team B-team scheme I'm just going to make a fluffy account and advertise myself as a Masters player in Fluffy league. I'll be one of the most desirable players. -_-

On a side note, if you want to pick on someone, it shouldn't be iPro. It should be Anonymous. Have you looked at their lineup?

I'm drawing upon my knowledge of chess here, but if someone is 30-40 Elo points above you then you're chances of winning are under 10%

I already addressed this above, but the point isn't to make things "fair". At any rate, I don't get your point. Yea, maybe a clan only has 10% chance of winning in the A-Team comp because teams like Anonymous and iPro are stacked. However, in the B-team, Anonymous and iPro will be in a lot of trouble because they used their good players in the A-team competition.

Quote:Also I understand that you took back much of your statement but it seems you are just objecting this perfectly good idea because it affects your clan. 'At best you could have 5 supertitan' please note that the majority of clans (Wolfpack , ICE, Diamond and Mobi) have all got 1 Supertitan or less. This is meant to be the best for all clans, I don't want a clan system where all but one clan quits because of the other.

I'm not even in iPro so again, you're wrong. Don't make assumptions.
