Too bad it took so many years and the current state of DSB for it to materialize.
I still think it's being presented incorrectly and that it should be launched simultaneously
with other projects as part of an overall relaunch of DSB. I'm afraid that it would fail to
achieve its ultimate purpose otherwise, which should be to revive DSB.
But hopefully I'm wrong and you guys can pull it off.
Alright, the registration process being so slow, we've decided that the first weekend, on October 14th, is a recruiting/w vs w/practice weekend. Feel free to bring your squad online for practices or come online to find a squad. Squad leaders be active and recruit, we need all of you to bring your own effort to this, staff alone is not enough force to get everybody to join.
We will try to host games from 17GMT until 20GMt, as many as possible, we will test how the bot & functionality of our bots work for this league so have patience if everything isn't finished at first.
A few players showed up but no games were played. I discussed a plan to get players more involved but it's hard to say how far it'll get (thanks Pater). I'm pretty confident we need to have next weekend as a practice/recruiting weekend as well and see if we can get anywhere.
PS. While waiting, could we do something else to get some games going, like perhaps a duel tournament or something? The main idea is to keep this place alive and something small where you hardly need a team might be the answer.

Yea, too bad it's too late. I asked a gazillion times for duel league, to reset pracs stats (people still pracced).
Unfortunately, this zone getting a league going without a proper re-launch is a dead end. It's taken way too
long since babl.
However, it's better to play something I guess. So, maybe you should host the dt or something else now.
But the idea of a 4vs4 league or even babl, you can bury right away.
This league will be put to rest, not to be forgotten, however. If we get a chance and our activity & population goes up, we'll try again. At the moment it seems we just need to go with random fun, so expect another thread about that.
