Topic: Starburst Round 5 - Leaders Thread

So this next round of Starburst, we might try something a little bit different.  So this thread is to guage and see if there's enough interest in making it happen.

We'll try to have some leaders sign up, and then distribute them in a fam of their own.  Then there will be no drafting and the rest of the players can split up amongst the pre-allocated leaders randomly when joining the galaxy.

If it works out, the leaders amongst themselves, work out the stats of the galaxy, being mostly the size of the map.  The number of players per fam, will largely depend on how many competent leaders sign up (there needs to be a minimum of 8 leaders interested though).

E.g. we have 75 non-1-planet players in Starburst atm.  So if we get 10 leaders signing up, its likely we'll have the fam size as 8.

Anyway, this is largely an interest thread, to see how things unfold.  Potential leaders can register their interest here, and a Mod/FMod can edit this post to add to the list.  The leader will be ultimately up to player consensus and mod discretion.

4 days to go, til the end of the current Starburst round!


Edit:
To summarise, we are looking for leaders to volunteer, and the rest of the players will random into a family with one of these leaders.


Leader List

  1. Arby

  2. Devilz

  3. Dimpel

  4. Flashy

  5. IC Death

  6. Lee

  7. Mizzle

  8. Varlokas

Edit:  Updated topic with progress at the moment!

Sign me up Scotty...


IC Death in for Leadership position

Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.

Re: Starburst Round 5 - Leaders Thread

This isn't like a competition where leaders can pick their players. We are also trying to avoid superfamilies right from the start. We have heard concerns that the lower ranked families do not have leaders even tho there are vets in those families perfectly able to lead but they are not interested in doing so. Now we are giving those who wish to try and do something with a family as a leader right from the start.

~~Lemming of leather and lollipops~~

Right, so what are we waiting for?  Can we get this going?  Any other feedback?

Torqez, this shouldnt wonder you.... most players have doubts in new ideas! Sometimes you need to try to find out.  Dont be affraid to increase the game

Re: Starburst Round 5 - Leaders Thread

Why not. I'll give it a shot and make time in my life again for IC.

I can use it as an excuse to get out of wedding planning! big_smile

Modestus Experitus

Arby: A very strict mod, reminds me of a fat redneck who drives a truck around all day with a beer in one hand. I hated this guy at the start, however, I played a round in PW with him where he went as an anonymous player. Our fam got smashed up and everyone pretty much left. Arby stayed around and helped out the remaining family. At the end of the round he revealed himself.... My views on him have changed since. Your a good guy.....

Re: Starburst Round 5 - Leaders Thread

So, someone compile a list of competent leaders and volunteers for this.  Time is running out.

Why does this have to be Mod driven?  You players want it, so you should show an interest for it.  Don't need to rely on the mods for everything - you've already gotten committment, saying we'll try it, given there are sufficient and decent people to do it.

Re: Starburst Round 5 - Leaders Thread

So far confirmed:

1). IC Death
2). Supercow AKA Glue
3). Mizzle (will do it if we lack 8 leaders)
4). HomeStead
5). Arby
6). Dimpel
7). Flash
8). Weedkiller

Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.

Re: Starburst Round 5 - Leaders Thread

so how would the player base be distrubuted amongst the leaders? u said your trying to avoid super families? well its the same thing really....

ul put 1 leader in each family#

Players random, most the good randoms will land in a few families, the rest will have inactives.

this creates a bigger margin of superpower since those familes that dont get the randoms, wont be able to draft.

Why not do an ICPG style drafting? imo that would create a balanced round.

Anyway, sign me up to lead these hoe's...
