hey i was thinking maybe you could incorporate some kind of system where players can bet on the matches... not real $ ofc, but like some efps site only type of currency...
i know theres a starcraft site where they bet minerals on upcoming matches, seems kinda cool..
maybe we could bet orbs or something, like each person starts out with 50 orbs...
and have higher payouts if someone wins who was the underdog or however that whole betting system works... idk exactly, just a random thought

What the hell would be the point of this?

If someone bet successfully and got, say, 1000 orbs... who would give a flying fuck? If it involved prizes or something I could see an incentive but otherwise...

Ummm, let's concentrate on getting some really good Captains volunteering, good stable servers, speedy draft, and smoothing out the team joining/communication thing.

And of course, having killer close matches and fun.

Most gaming community have a thread where everyone picks the teams that are scheduled to play for the week. Can be fun, Cevo has an app where you can pick on every match that happens. Not a bad idea and can get everyone involed in the matches.

I don't think its a terrible idea IMO. I have a spare G5 laying around and some sennheisers. Maybe whoever comes out on top betting could get some prizes.

The Argumentalizer

How can you bet on a team that doesn't exist?

The Draft will go down on the spot. I think it would be a good idea to collect Team Captains during the week.
At least commitments. The Draft should shoot to make it quick and painless as possible to play.
Getting commitments during the week and team assignment will go a long way towards simplifying everything.
Of course, the Captains are not permanent but it should be a priority to spread the best players around as much as possible, making the matches closer.

My point , i guess is, is to try to make the Draft a big success and the rest is CAKE.

I don't see why you would do prizes. Maybe you could win a steam account with hl2dm on it? lol

I believe the Draft is absolutely the best thing for this game.
The fact veritable noobs can get in there and have really good players to play with is cool.
Folks had a lot of fun.
Lots of the matches were ridiculously close.
The community is small and Draft matches can be played without larger league commitments, perfect for this game.
There is less ego involved.

I like the whole concept.
I am just going to try to help and set up the best possible system for the Draft.

Sorry to hijack. Back to the Prize/betting/...topic.

And exacty what have you done for this community? No disrespect, but I dont see a whole lot of people going out of their way to promote this game outside of a select few and hats off to them for putting in their efforts.

People may disagree with impala from time to time, but he sure has done more then most in hl2dm and is a well respected member of hl2dm.

We may chide Impala for his occassional rants, but he is a respected member of this community nonetheless.
Impala has been around in this community a hell of a lot longer than you, and has actually contributed to the community, unlike you.
The moral of the story here is: People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Haven't said this in a while and since PB is still b&,

Know your role, and shut your mouth.

Impala might be a little wacky, but he's an honest man that states his opinions and doesn't back down from it. That's something I respect. He's put in his two cents into about every matter that affected this community and stood by what he said.
Now, to quote one of my favorite movies:

Now, dicks have drive and clarity of vision, but they are not clever. They smell pussy and they want a piece of the action. And you thought you smelled some good old pussy, and have brought your two little mincey faggot balls along for a good old time. But you've got your parties muddled up. There's no pussy here, just a dose that'll make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with you. And the fact that you've got "Replica" written down the side of your guns and the fact that I've got "Desert Eagle point five O" written down the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now... Fuck off!

Just because you don't care doesn't mean other people don't. He has done a lot more then you or me and most of the community. Just keeping these forums alive is more then what you have done. If these forums weren't as active as they are HL2:DM would be dead and gone by now and no one would care about the game. Without HL2DMU there is no HL2:DM so you should be thanking impala for being active on this site
