Standard WoK championship
Some questions. Firstly are vps still being recorded anywhere?
Secondly I think we should definitley have a standard wok championship this year, looking in the kaohalla and noticing that there hasn't been one since 2004 makes the game feel dead.
Thirdly and more of an observation than a question is that the player stats when clicking on their links are wrong. I clicked on the two new guys names and they have already both survived 2 turns when in fact only turn 0 has been sent out.
Fourth, is anyone interested in running/playing in a Advanced WoK (wok 5) game? Might be a way to drag back some ex players, I know I quite fancy a game.
Lastly, due to lack of players clans seem to have disappeared in essence. I do think we should regenerate the clans but get rid of the rule about 5 active players. 2-3 player cland would be good fun I think and certainly its good to play as a 2 man team. It's also way better for new players to have experienced players help them and the clan system would be best. I don't think however that it should be mandatory to join one, I think that put off a few potential new players.

Well i can't do anything other than agree with all points you've put forward LM. Though i think i'll pass on Advanced WoK for now. first priority is to get back in the Standard WoK swing of things and then try wok:duel.
The idea of having a standard wok championship i fully support.

Well normally it would be the 9 players who've earned the most vps in standard wok in the last year plus the former champion.
So maybe Korexus can dig up a list of vps for the past year. And the vp list for 2005 can be found here: http://www.kaomaris.com/phpNuke/modules ... ore#action
And Lord Fredo was our last reigning champion so maybe we can get him interested to join wok again.

Re: Standard WoK championship
I'm not sure we have what it takes yet. Saladin pointed to VPs for 2005, while normally we would have Champs for the year 2006. Only a few games were completed in 2006 and we don't have a yearly standing for that year. Don't want to discourage you now that running games is easier than ever, but I believe it's more trouble than satisfaction.Lardmaster wrote:Some questions.

I am happy to see so much Standard games running simultaneously right now. That's a good motivation to keep a record of games this year and have Champs next year.
I think finding a GM is the first thing to do. Wouldn't join one right now, but maybe some of my games will end before we find a GM.Lardmaster wrote:Fourth, is anyone interested in running/playing in a Advanced WoK (wok 5) game?

I agree with you, but, actually, it does work that way in practice. Noone is supervising the clans checking whether they have enough members. New players are not required to join clans anymore either. Obligatory clan membership was intended to ensure new players would have mentors and be more likely to stay. As it turned out some players got discouraged by the time it took to contact a Clan Head and join a clan, which tended to drag for weeks when the community got smaller.Lardmaster wrote:Lastly, due to lack of players clans seem to have disappeared in essence.
