Hey Snoopy! Cheers for your reply first of all.
Thank you for also bringing to my attention those events as I was actually not aware of them. It is indeed very much like what mrteatime has prepared although just a little bit different in the sense that it will be recurring and people will have a central point to follow it through (the discord channel). I also was not aware of GLC, which I guess is kind of similar (even has the same central communication point). Damn, to think I actually did some research on this before launching it… Nonetheless, as I said, I got plans for different formats and special prizes among other things, so I am hoping this league takes off as its own thing.
The pod will be of 6 people (5 other people basically). That is something to be tested of course and as I said on stream as well last night, when I announced some of the new channel changes, the first season will most probably be a bit different since I am not expecting that many people to take part. It will be a test season of some sorts.
I have been heavily considering putting it on ABR so I guess maybe I should. My first concerns were just having a first test season as I mentioned before actually going all in with announcements about it. Which is the reason why I posted about this here as well; to get some feedback on it.
I am not sure about collaborating just yet. Speaking from experience, collaborating with others on Netrunner stuff has been amazing and has really saved me a lot of time of having to do everything myself, but for now, since I also want it to be a special Trace Five thing, I feel like I have to do this mostly by myself. I hope that my experience in organizing and community building (as well as running excel forms) will suffice for the most part and deliver us a good league experience.
In the worst case scenario, it becomes a small league that we run now and then with the fans of Trace Five, which is also cool.
Hope I’ve answered your questions and addressed all of your points.
