So does anyone know if this group still running or not?.I have been getting the cold shoulder from the_Legend,she won't return my PM's.As far as i can see no one is playing any of there games.I though this group was a great idea,maybe we just got some bad apples in the bunch(coaches who won't play there game). |

Sorry I haven't been around much folks, I moved unexpectedly in the middle of September and don't have internet access at my new place at the moment. As Monty mentioned there have been a few drop outs and I've had a hard time figuring out how to handle it. A pair of new teams have joined but we still need 2 more teams to fill out the league, also I made a point of not having too many khemri / chaos pact (the hardest hitting teams IMHO) in one division and I'm afraid that recruiting new teams would too easily throw off that balance. Also, one of the teams that left played a game before leaving the group so that simply adding a new team it it's place would be difficult to manage as that team would be at a huge disadvantage early on. I've been reluctantly considering starting over with a new completely new batch of coaches (hopefully you are all still interested) and somehow emphasize the importance of not dropping out, playing your games in a timely fasion, etc. Any input that you all may have would be much apreciated.
Thanks for your commitment and patience-
The Legend |

My suggested plan of action would be:
- PM those who haven't played a game, and threaten to kick them out of the group if they don't reply in 48 hours
- Ask for submissions of new teams, and allow in as many teams as will make an equal number of teams in each division (odd numbers is OK, with a minimum of eight)
- Abandon the idea of an off-line fixture list
- Start an Open Round-Robin tournament for each division, including all the current participants plus as many as will get each of them up to match the other divisions
- Force concedes for match-ups that have already been played, so that they can't be played twice
- Tell the coach who played the one who dropped out to do something about lowering his TR so that he doesn't get an unfair advantage - like retiring a player or dropping a reroll. |

Hmm, I see The_Legend has now deleted the Daemons & Dark Ones group entirely... is there an explanation for this? |

Perhaps I should reconstitute this group, seeing as it has been deleted, so that the leagues can be completed... would everyone want to finish the season? I'd have the same divisions, keep the results for the games played, and make it open round-robin, like I suggested above. |

I'm betting not 'everyone' will want to, but I pesonally like the idea, so If we can get enough teams, then I'm in. |

I'm afraid I don't have confidence in The_Legend's ability to run a group, so I'm continuing the current tournaments in a new group called Daemons & Dark Ones Reloaded. Visit that page and sign your existing D&DO teams up there (I have invited all the teams who were previously members), and we'll continue on as before with a few more teams to fill the gaps where needed.
We'll need at least 6 new teams, so if you're keen to join, make a new Khemri, Vampire, Chaos, Nurgle's Rotters, Undead, Chaos Dwarf, Necromantic or Chaos Pact tournament division team and submit it. |
