PXR WAR Season 1 Discussion

[We Taste Pies...]

Then I am familiar with the used context of drafting. Cool, awesome.

Anyway, as WAR is being rebooted to give it new life, and as I said before, right now we're sticking to, as Rust put it: 'the most vanilla WAR' and keeping it mostly to the roots of ye ol' WAR days. We're trying to keep it simple to garner the most attention and people we can and make it appealing for everyone. We aren't PE2K, so we've got more we need to do so we can get the attention of everyone from all ages, new and old.

People are having a bit of a hard time as it is picking teams as it is, having them switched around after finally picking seems a bit unfair to their freedom of choice, in my opinion. I'm fairly certain that the majority of the leaders are set on old fashioned Team WAR. [Either of the leaders can confirm or deny this statement, I don't like to speak for people without knowing for sure.]

If people wanted to be in a draft pool of their own choice though as a separate entity, to me, that seems fine as it's own regard while leaving open the choice for anyone else to pick and stay with the team they chose.

Yeah, I don't think we can have our cake and eat it too here. Also, as it seems to me, I don't think the draft has been discussed yet, at least not publicly. Seeing as a formal date for WAR to start has yet to be announced, I don't think anything is really set in stone. They don't even have a list of WAR sections yet, if I am not mistaken.

Dates and sections will be announced quite soon actually. It's just a matter of us getting things posted in the proper places and making sure it's seen. A list of WAR sections has been made, and again, will be posted soon. Since we have a lot of PokeStadium members who migrated here in a similar fashion to PE2K members migrating here, I, though I think I can say the same for at least @Shadow Tracker Max, *summons* want to make sure that even they can join without confusion or intimidation from 'ack I dunno what this is I'ma get flattened by all the people who do I can't join ack', even if they're never touched WAR.

EDIT: Or Dredd can ninja my post too. Sneaky little bugger. XD

This seems like a decent opportunity for a draft to me, in all honesty.

1. PE2K Member's familiarity with each other:

Lets be honest here, WAR can often be a bit of a "Good Ole Boys Club". Since people from PE2K are more familiar with each other and with WAR, they will probably tend to clump together, (unintentionally) excluding the newer transplants from PokeStadium from working with more experienced WAR participants. A draft is an opportunity for these people to be mixed together, across the entire participatory pool of WAR

2. PE2K Members experience with WAR:

Just as how I described how the draft could work as something of a "mixer" for newer and older members, its also an excellent way to divide up the experience among teams from people with several WARs under their belts to the individuals who have never before participated. Honestly, I think to them, a draft may seem a lot less intimidating; they don't have to worry about appealing to complete strangers to join their team, which could arguably be just as intimidating to the more timid members.
