Title: FML Farm League
Post by: FML|Mage on February 24, 2014, 05:31:07 pm
:FMLN:

FML has always run into a problem of having too many players and not enough slots.  It is part of what makes getting into the league, let alone winning, such an impressive task.  The downside of this though is that we have a ton of great talent who we are forced to turn away, and with the exception of a few side events there isn't a whole lot that people can do with FML except wait for the next seasons applications to open.

I'm hoping that we can change that.  Assuming, and this is a big assumption, that there are enough people interested then I plan to start the FML Farm Leagues.  Now some of you who are American or follow baseball may be thinking this sounds familiar, did Mage rip them off?  Yes, yes I did!  However the goals of this would be very similar to the goals of baseball's farm leagues.

They will promote new talent.  We have a ton of people interested in FFA who have never really played competitive 4-way FFA before.  It's hard to get good at something when you are only able to play about 4 qualifier games every year.  Instead, players will be able to adjust to how FML is played in the "farm leagues" and perhaps be more prepared for the next qualifiers.  In addition this league will be run virtually identically to FML.  This will allow players to practice scheduling their own matches, being responsive on the site, and being responsible for showing up to matches.

FML Farm League will not have prizes or glory the way FML does.  Instead it will be for players who really want to play and grow.  Just as it will be run in the same way FML is, the punishments will apply for all FML leagues and events.  If you're banned here you're banned everywhere.  Fail to show twice, you won't be eligible for the Season 19 qualifiers.  This will not be some joke where people go to play games because they're bored and have nothing else to do, it is for FFA players to learn, grow, have fun, and partake in a league! 

Now, in order for this to happen we will need a minimum of 12 players interested, with no cap on the maximum.  If you already applied for Season 18 and posted your application in that thread you can just say you're interested.  If you are interested then apply by posting the following application filled out:

If you start raging I will ban you and there won't be any unbanning fyi.  You're a very good player, and I want you in FML since you're so active.  However this league is for fun and encouraging players.  Flaming players, admins, or any other bad manner will not be tolerated.  You will not be given any strikes, it will just be a ban.  You've been warned.

wait a minute I remember you! I can't remember what team you were on but I think you played in my old league, WCOlympics! Good to have you!

edit: looked it up because I could. Still dunno the clan but you went 14-5 in WCO and you were the 9th best player in league.  :icon_mrgreen:

The 1st and 2nd of each final

We cant compete with the nobility and wealth of FML A f10, we should accept our place as peasants.

Sounds like a nice idea, but i would rather let only the winner from FML B play in the FML A final.
Title: Re: FML Farm League
Post by: FML|Mage on February 28, 2014, 11:00:19 am
I'd just like to re-iterate that there will not be a spot in the finals, nor will there be any sort of prize.  If we're just talking about some type of game for fun with no stakes, then yeah it could be cool to do a show match with top two from either league.  However, what I said earlier stands.

Quote from: God
FML Farm League will not have prizes or glory the way FML does.  Instead it will be for players who really want to play and grow.  Just as it will be run in the same way FML is, the punishments will apply for all FML leagues and events.  If you're banned here you're banned everywhere.  Fail to show twice, you won't be eligible for the Season 19 qualifiers.  This will not be some joke where people go to play games because they're bored and have nothing else to do, it is for FFA players to learn, grow, have fun, and partake in a league! 

If this changes your mind on whether you would like to play then please let me know and I will remove your name.  If you are just going to treat this as a joke, then please do so as well.

This was not directed at you, it was just a pre-emptive warning for all.  There have also been a few posts removed from the thread. 

I actually thinking the top two from each league play each other in a specialty match is a very cool idea.  I can't commit to anything now, however it's a great suggestion.  Or perhaps the winner of each league play with 2 other players from something else.  No problem with suggesting ideas outside of league play, and I encourage it as there are a ton of things we haven't thought of I'm sure.

Sorry if you thought that was directed specifically at you!
