I'm officially looking to start up the first OCL season soon, and although we only have a few players, it should still be fun! Right now I'm looking to have everyone play each other twice to start out with, and then have a playoff (tournament-style, of course). I know everyone is availabe at different times, so we might only be able to get everyone playing one match a week (at least officialy matches, other times you're free to kick the snot out of each other when the urge hits you).
I've been mulling over rules and how things should run, which you already know if you've been over on the OtakuBoards thread. I've been thinking of how to make the rules available to everyone without any hassle. The best idea I've come up with is to keep with my theOtaku/OtakuBoards integration and use theOtaku's "Fan Words" feature, then link that page in the OCL World.
Also, I know everyone might now agree with the rules initially, because as I've learned on OB, everyone has a different opinion of how to have matches. This first season will be a good test-run of rules, so unlike I mentioned earlier, everyone may just play the other players once before the playoff.
Quick examples of some rules are:
-Items will have a VERY LOW drop rate
-All items are allowed EXCEPT the Hammer, Golden Hammer, and Invincibility Star
-Items will ONLY be used in regular season play, NONE will be used in the playoffs
-Matches will be played using the stock system, with each player starting off with 10 stock
Like I said, those are just a few examples. If you have ideas for rules, or you want to talk about changing any of the above ones, feel free to contact me!
That's about all for now, I'll write back as soon as I can.
