  6. GDL XII Divisions

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I see and kind of like what Tx put up, but a couple of divisions are unbalanced. My #3 took locations and mixed skill, which guys say is more important anyways. I agree; we have plenty of time to schedule weekend battles if we cant match schedules during the week. Plus, location only matters for Europe and Pacific TZ, everyone else is close enough.

    No need to base purely on location here, let's make sure the top 12 are equally split to give the other 12 a fair shake.

    Been trying to work out a 3rd option that aligns us by Raph's tiers and geographically. I think this one does it, so maybe we should actually put it to a vote (?) or something.

    Option #2 is a few posts above, but here is Option#3

    -keeps top 12 split up perfectly, divisions all just as balanced. If you add the tier-total of the top 3 in each division, all 4 div's are even (total balance)

    -Division names are working names based on our actual geographies hahaha...but areas are listed for easy viewing.

    OPTION #3

    WESTERN CONF

    Northern Division (MA, ONT, MO, NY)

    1 - Plabax (ONT) - Nashville

    2.5 - Sicarius (MO) - St. Louis

    2.5 - Donnybrook (MA) - Tampa Bay

    3 - Lupz (NY) - Winnipeg

    4 - Skip (MA) - Minnesota

    5 - Jer (ONT) - Toronto

    Continental Division (NY, IL, CA, CO, BC)

    1.5 - IceStorm (NY) - Edmonton

    2 - UncleSeth (NY) - Los Angeles

    2.5 - Brutus (IL) - Chicago

    3 - Kupuck (CA) - Anaheim

    4 - J&J (CO) - Colorado

    4 - Skeletor (BC) - New Jersey

    EASTERN CONF

    Northeast Division (QUE, MA, PA, IL)

    1 - Freyday (QUE) - Quebec

    2.5 - Houly (QUE) - Montreal

    2.5 - Minpind (MA) - Boston

    3 - BoKnows (PA) - Hartford

    4 - JackVandal (MA) - Hamilton

    5 - Jagr (IL) - Buffalo

    Trans-Atlantic Division (Europe, NY, PA)

    1.5 - KingRaph (NY) - NY Rangers

    1.5 - Depch (EURO) - Vancouver

    2 - Fitzo (EURO) - California

    4 - Labs (PA) - Pittsburgh

    4 - Darko (EURO) - Detroit

    4 - TexasPachy (NY) - NY Islanders

    As much as I loved #2, I think this option will work better for scheduling purposes - especially for Europe and Central/Pacific timezoners.

    Yeah Brutus - that is a great idea (time slots). That was my main goal on my 1st run - trying to keep the Europe guys together and then me, since I am always around during the day (unfortunately). But I think it is also important to have balanced divisions so us new guys don't get thrashed around all the time.

    We only have two west coast guys, so I guess it isn't like we are all strewn about...mainly just four or five areas (NY, MA, IL, ONT, Europe).

    In the end, I actually like these divisions better, more input from everybody and it has to be more balanced since more senior input was involved.

    And I think it will be easy to remember who is in what division based on in-game geography (ie. Quebec and Montreal in same division, LA/ANA, etc.)

    Hopefully everyone is cool with them!

    Great guys - I should have just posted this here before and we could've started this conversation last week hahaha

    How about this one - it is based off of Raph's recent tiers and taking into account everybody's input. It also happened to work out that most teams align with their proper GDL Division based on actual NHL geography. Most importantly, Raph's top-12 are evenly distributed - 3 per division.

    OPTION #2

    EASTERN CONF

    Northeast Div

    1 - Freyday (QUE) - Quebec

    2.5 - Brutus (ILL) - Chicago

    2.5 - Houly (QUE) - Montreal

    3 - BoKnows (PA) - Hartford

    4 - JackVandal (MA) - Hamilton

    5 - Jagr (ILL) - Buffalo

    Atlantic Div

    1.5 - KingRaph (NY) - NY Rangers

    1.5 - Depch (EURO) - Vancouver

    2.5 - Minpind (MA) - Boston

    4 - Labs (PA) - Pittsburgh

    4 - Skeletor (BC) - New Jersey

    4 - TexasPachy (NY) - NY Islanders

    WESTERN CONF

    Central Div

    1 - Plabax (ONT) - Nashville

    2 - Fitzo (EURO) - California

    2.5 - Sicarius (MO) - St. Louis

    3 - Lupz (NY) - Winnipeg

    4 - Skip (MA) - Minnesota

    5 - Jer (ONT) - Toronto

    Pacific Div

    1.5 - IceStorm (NY) - Edmonton

    2 - UncleSeth (NY) - Los Angeles

    2.5 - Donnybrook (MA) - Tampa Bay

    3 - Kupuck (CA) - Anaheim

    4 - J&J (CO) - Colorado

    4 - Darko (EURO) - Detroit

    The average for each tier should be 17.5, and all are close (N'east 18, Pacific 17, others at 17.5).

    Thoughts?

    v7 will be coming soon - Vancouver (Depch) made 2 FA pickups and needs to see those for his exis...Probably post later today.

    Only making updates to versions for transactions for now (unless you find a huge problem with your lines). If you have any line change requests, now is the time!

  19. Fall'14 GENS Regular Season Awards

    in League Awards

    Posted

    Wow, thank you so much KingRaph! I am extremely humbled to receive the Teemu Selanne R.O.Y. Award for the pure fact that I shouldn't win awards just for having fun!

    Huge shout out to guys like Darko & TexasPachy, who made the league (and GDL exis) so much fun all season. Darko and I have probably played about 50 exi games since the end of the GDL draft, and I am glad so many of the new guys are venturing into the GDL along w/ me. It will be great to play more w/ Lupz and JackVandal too!

    More importantly, I cannot say enough about Chaos, Smoz, Halifax, Ice, KingRaph (sorry if I missed anyone else behind-the-scenes) - you guys make this s**t possible and the community will always be indebted to you guys for this fantastic and beautiful place you have created.

    I was 14 when this game came out and I couldn't count the number of games played. Sure, I progressed through the years to PS1, PS2, PS3 as I am sure most of you did, but NHL'94 has always been and always will be the game of games. I still remember getting this game, and playing it with my best friend all night. I can't say that about any other game I've ever bought. I think NHL'94 is so great because it was a special time in hockey with so many great Hall of Famers...and of course, the slick gameplay. '94 is still the best!

    Thank you for the award, but even more, thank you guys for creating this space and a very worth while distraction from real life!

  23. GDL XII Lines Thread (for Skip/Donch)

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Version 5 coming soon. If you gave me the same 3 guys for both 1st and 2nd lines, you should rethink it. 4th Dman has been coming in for LW on pk and injury.

    If you gave me one line, I will fix it so that doesnt happen. If you want to you can get creative and do 3 lines so your subs work for you. Up to you, would hate to see problems like Raph and Lupz were having during the regular season.

    Check out Minnesota lines in NOSE or in-game...you can do something like that.

    ok I will fix that now too. I think anyone who doesn't have enough subs on their lines may have that issue. Since you only used 3 guys, it automatically goes to your D-men before your fwd subs. I think everyone should give 3 lines...be creative with 2nd line to get your 1st choice guy in there, then 3rd line can be your depth line with all subs. If you look at my lines in NOSE, that's what I am talking about. I never have problems with bad subs coming in for penalties or injuries.
