  • An idea for TW(D) squads - Transfer system

    I have been talking with Ripper and we tossed in a few ideas on how to make TW(D) more entertaining, even more (inter)active and more competitive.

    Implement a transfer system that makes it possible to ' buy and sell players' for the squads that are on TWD.

    To make this work, you will need:

    - a system that gives people a value (value can be based on TWD and TWL performances, average time being on a squad and or other factors);

    - a system that handles the amount of money a TWD squad has; each squad starts with an equal amount of ' money ' ;
    - a squad can gain money by selling a player and or winning TWD games (or even TWL games?);
    - a squad with a negative amount of money can ofcourse not buy any player;
    - perhaps a squad that has been alive for a long time is permitted to ' loan ' an amount of money;

    - if you buy a player you will need to negotiate with the player (on time of contract) and the captain of a squad (if the player is on a squad) ; a player can only leave a squad early if both the captain and the player agree (otherwise see lower);

    - there will need to be a tribunal for leaving before expiration of contract (reason, an arguement); without tribunal a squad could get a fine for kicking a player early, or a penalty for the player (f.e. not being able to join a squad until his original contract has expired).

    A player thats inactive during a period can be compared with a soccer player thats injured. Both parties can still negotiate on renewing a contract or not.

    A working group should / could be established to think about this to make it work.

    I'd really like this idea. It would make TW(D) far more interesting. Players can actually see their improvement in ' money worth' . Squadcaptains can actually have more fun handling the ' cash flow ' and managing for real.



    ================================================== ========

    Aside from the idea as described above, you could add a TW-D Player ranking (month and year) system based on some factors as amounts of game played, ratio, the ave. points of opponent squads etc.

    Setup a feature with an uptodate list of all names that are currently registered to TWD(bot) and display which squads they are currently attached to. That way squadcaptains could have an idea on which players currently have no squad. (ofcourse some people are aliased, but a lot of people use the same alias tho)

    Add an onthemove item to TWDwebsite.

    It would be pretty nice if this could be implemented somehow. Not only would it make it more fun to handle the statistic part but also make twd a more competitive league. Now twd is just a league to practice and kill time until twl starts and players don’t care about twd statistic much.

        These kind of things has to be an event to work.
        It's like communism, if it really would work it would be ok. But since it wont work, no need to mess up TWD which is working fine.

          It's an alright idea in theory, but a bad idea in practice. I'll explain why. The system doesn't account for bad squad captains, who wants to be stuck with a retard? The other major problem I see with the idea is that it requires much more work, with a dedicated tribunal and a ton of website coding to boot. Squads that do better are going to have more and more money, so they'll be able to buy better and better players, so you'll have lopsided squads. Not that there aren't lopsided squads already but I figured you were trying to fix this with more competitive games. It's not a bad idea, I think it might work if you tried to implement it for shorter periods of time like one or two months. The two systems would have to be able to coexist allowing people to remain with their current TWD squad and then this other system. Also, it would be a bad idea to force all current TWD players into the system, people should be able to decide if they want to participate in both or just one.

          The squad hopping today is pretty bad and I think ultimately that's the problem you're trying to solve but this isn't a good route. I'm not sure on the best solution yet, I've got a few ideas. Also, TWD has always been fairly boring, but that's just because it's supposed to be. If TWD was as fun and competitive as TWL then there would be no need for TWL. The only change that TWD needs right now is for TWSDX to be up and running and full green charges out of TWDD.

            I'm waiting for a code fix from botdev for twsdx to fix major problem with flag spawning outside of the arena because of larger numbers of players in the arena, hopefully isn't too far away...

            Plus atm (once again) no-one has access to the server that the twd bots (prittk's/tw's server) are hosted on -_- making it very slow on fixes and updates...

                  i think its a good idea too but won't work.
                  the lopsided squads, as previously mentioned, and also there is just the fact that players are generally on squads they want to be on. If some newbie squad buys them they're just going to snowball and whine until they get back on the squad they want. Plus there will be players like death row or killergt who will be constantly traded, leaving no consistency by the twl playoffs

                    this would be a fun addition to a draft league. i think that means its time for someone to discuss a draft league, begin the work on it, then drop it after 2 weeks

                        phred hit the nail on the head.

                        this system is based on an ideal, much like communism. and idealism tends to butt heads like a motherfucker with practicality.

                              Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. it's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.:fear:
