Hey descendants.
I do not quite understand why I need it, but I feel the strength to organize the new Spaceball league season (as told Biscuits "SSN 8.1"). I've been thinking about it a lot of time and now I want to share with you my thoughts.
This message is not an announcement of a new season, and does not assume any guarantees that it will take place. I just want to speculate about the possible perspectives of the eighth season, and if possible get feedback from those who are still able to keep in the hands a keyboard and did not disappear in the depths of the merciless real life. I'm under no illusion in this regard, because even in the best years, this forum has about 0.5 comments in the thread, so...
I. Spaceball is dead?
In the past six months Spaceball was finally moved «from the Publics to the hearts». More dynamic, fun and easy SpaceBounce absorbed all the remnants of the former spaceball-community. Older players or retrained in Bounce players or left the game (my God, tell me how to do it ?!); the new players are obviously nowhere appear due to lack of public.
II. The search for new players
This problem may be to try to solve with the help of regular hosting. And I can carry it. Today I created a test room, which lasted about three hours, and I was pleasantly surprised — in that time I saw a few good old top players and a couple of dozen promising players (perhaps among them were also some old players, but I did not recognize them with masks of new nicknames and avatars) that are likely to be good members of the league.
III. It can't go back to how it was
However, we should not have false hopes. In my humble opinion, an adequate to get about 30 active people, or 6 teams of 5 players. If revive the old members and newcomers to search among bouncers and Public players, we will be able to get this number. Someone might say that the league with 6 teams is not serious and uninteresting, but now we have to start from scratch, so even this situation will be a miracle, and this is another chance for Spaceball to continue its glorious history.
IV. The most appropriate format
Given our past disappointing experience of season 8, I realize that now the only option for Spaceball is to draft. Despite my dislike of this format, only with draft we will maintain the players' interest and to ensure the regularity of matches. Also, I think you have to return the fixed format of game days (yeah, even though I hate it), in view of the fact that this format of the league will get the desired tempo of the games. All players will be regularly involved in the gameplay and our league will live happily ever after.
For now that's basically the most fundamental that I wish to say. If you have any thoughts (who am I kidding?) about this topic, please write them in the comments. 10 Likes for this post and I'll run this fucking season! (or not. if I want to, I will do it in any case).
That's all for today, thank you for attention.
