I think this is a great idea I would be happy to keep the spread sheet and want other players to comment so I can start adding their names to the list.

starting the Players League here? + PL game 1 thread
Hello all,
Some of you may know me from Supremacy, where I am probably most known for hosting the Players League games. These games are meant for active people who do not wish to spend gold(marks) ingame to create unfair advantages and have a game with active, likeminded people who want to win using their wits, instead of Donald Trumping it. I'd like to raise interest to port the Players League to this game.
A quick summary of PL games in Supremacy regarding the rules
- No gold usage by gentlemans honor. Break the rule and be banned from future PL games - oh, and the rest of the players are likely to gang up on you anyway.
- High Command is allowed and even encouraged somewhat. The PL was originally raised in the belief that microtransactions are detrimental to the game, opposed to pay-to-play or a subscription. Hey, the developers gotta eat as well right?
- bug abusing is not allowed - so far I havent personally found any bugs to abuse (and a good thing!), but if you have - please dont. the shoot and scoot tactic probably doesnt work in this game (thank god) a personal wish of mine for a long time.
- stay active and dont archive the game when you lose your first province, you want your win to be a challenge too, right?....right? If not, this is not the type of game for you
.
What I am looking for is somebody who wants to create a league ladder in excel/google docs/other spreadsheet so people can keep tabs on how they are doing against other active players. Im not overly good with spreadsheets, so help would be welcome.
Oh, and of course players who support my idea so we can get our first 10 player map going soon
Comments, questions, additions? Please ask!

Is it possible you could post a link so it would be viewable for all when/if it starts?
In S1914 the guy who does the spreadsheet has a sort of Elo system in it, so you get more points when playing (and winning) proven players from the PL (the ones that tend to win)

I am down to join. So far every game that I have joined has ended up being me and like a handful of other people! Really hurts the gameplay for me, so get me signed up for some real games

Heya Miech!
It was only a matter of time before the sinister body of the PL showed up over here.
I'll certainly sign up for a round or three when the time comes!

I don't mind the PL being over here, just leave the politics over there.

We've been playing PL rounds in 30k and it seems pretty easy going compared to how some of the S1914 rounds got.

I can start creating spreadsheets and the other necessary resources for a Players League organization.
Consider it done. Simply give me some time.
Thank you.

Seems we have 7 players now (not counting Jaws, or should I, Jaws?) to start the first PL game.
3 more to go.

I would be interested in joining this. I hate it when games lose 75% of their players after a week.

@miech, count on me.

And I think I'm the last one to complete the list. However, just a warning. I will be inactive from 30th July to 16th August.

Ho Xarus! Are you the same Xarus I am playing a 30K round with?

Added new names.
@ Pablo: Since games typically last for longer then a month (assuming decent active players), Im not sure its useful for you to join.
If you dont mind, then sure I will add you.
If another signs up before that, he/she will be prioritized. I will start the game and send out passes in 1 or 2 days. With the current activity in the games I seem to blunder into, I would be very happy with 6-7 active players anyway.
Expect the game to be started around 6 pm on Sunday or Monday (I will post before I start). That is euro time (roughly noon for you yanks and maples ).

I'd be interested to join. What next?

waiting...
We need 10 Players to start!

Hello all,
The invites (gamnumber+password) will be sent in roughly an hour. The game will start immediately so jump in as soon as you can.
