[2015 edit]
Should we get staff members again as birthday special on Saturday, I hope the 1 vs. 1 staff action will be back!
[/2015 edit]

Hello everyone,

since there has a lot of positive feedback to my blog entry, I move the discussion here.

**Disclaimer: I won't do any administrative work! I only throw out suggestions, hoping that someone else takes over (if need and interest are big enough)!!**

--

Another idea to have some special fun on Saturday:

1. Create a [L]eague team (ideally with a fitting name) before Saturday.
2. On Saturday, once the team is in Post Match Sequence, retire all players.
3. Ready the team without journeymen.
4. Look for like-minded coaches with similar teams.
5. Play as many 1 vs. 1 matches with only staff members on the pitch as you like. A game should take 5-15 minutes.

(If you create a team on Saturday, you have to play/concede a game to get to "zero player state", but afterwards you can join the mayhem.)


Edit:
You can - but don't have to - join this group [updated 2015] and/or use gamefinder to find other coaches/teams more quickly. Thanks, Roland and gamelsetlmatch!

Note that Haflings and Goblins are two of the few teams that have a "roster" special (reduced costs of chef/bribes). Other rosters have the more obvious advantage of cheaper rerolls. Undead/Necromantic teams can raise dead staff members though... (Personally, if I killed a staff member and raised him as a zombie, I'd keep him - no matter the 1 vs. 1 "rule".)

All re-rolls and inducements allowed?

Someone should create a group so it's easy to find other people participating.

I'm not setting any rules. If someone wants to organize this, he of course can.

But I think anyone can just play as he/she likes - as long as he/she only uses the special stars (and maybe dead ones raised as zombies).

It's just crazy fun. I say: Play with 8 RRs or zero, take 15 Cheerleaders or drop everything to zero for some extra inducements. All these things can have a slight impact or be completely wasted. One vs. one is always about luck - and even more so, if the players are as different as with the admin stars.

can't we just use gamefinder?

it's easy to see what teams have just 1 player and there's not many L teams in gamefinder generally.

9 teams by four coaches already in the group - excellent!

Using gamefinder is a very good idea, too. Especially when you're looking for Ranked games, too. Smile

Just because anybody signs up to the league, doesn't mean they have to play. Somebody could make a Poem team about all the great staff and how much we all appreciate them. Just a trophy to hang on the mantle for a day =D
