US EAST serious ladder players

Okay guys, I think I'm going to wipe my friends list and add this whole list to it... that way, if the two-game thing ever happens, we can keep constant contact... I have a mic and headset but have never used Ventrilo - I should learn though, it's going to be a requirement for a clan I'm trying to join in Counter-Strike: Source. if KillerRS could help me through that eventually it would be much appreciated.

However, I don't feel too bad about splitting a group up 2 ways, because experience maxes out at 6 players. Just make sure we keep the group atmosphere going!!!!

All right! Let's talk strategy. Bubble, I think a fishymancer would be more helpful than a meteorber, but if that's what you want for post-ladder-climb, then you're free to make a meteorber. For now, though, I'll put you down as a fishymancer.

Close Combat:
Hammerdin (me)
Hammerdin (magicfind)
Summoner (Fuzzy)
Fishymancer (Bubble)
Werebear (deity)
WW Barb (Grlitz)

Range/Casters:
Meteorb (Xanph)
Blizzer (Phae)
Light sorc (jnheart)
Blizzer (KillerRS)
Bowazon (gyes)
Light sorc (Dano)
Bonemancer (Ripee)
Bowazon** (my rl friend, RSuddenly on forums, new joiner)


Well that leaves us with 6 melee chars and or 8 ranged chars. I'd say breaking up the melee chars so 1 hammerdin to each group, 1 summoner to each, then werebear and barb split. I'm kinda sad only one group will get bo, but *shrug* .

Casters can split: 1 blizzer to each party, one light sorc to each party, one bowazon to each party, meteorb and bonemancer split. The group without the meteorber will have no fire ele damage present - kinda weird :p. MAYBE - just putting this out - the werebear could go fire claws? It's up to your preference.

So, a sample draft of the teams (team captains in bold):

Team 1:
1. Hammerdin (me)
2. Summoner (Fuzzy)
3. WW Barb (Grlitz)
4. Blizzer (KillerRS)
5. Light sorc (jnheart)
6. Bonemancer (Ripee)
7. Bowazon** (my rl friend, RSuddenly on forums, new joiner)

Team 2:
1. Hammerdin (magicfind)
2. Fishymancer (Bubble)
3. Werebear (deity)
4. Blizzer (Phae)
5. Meteorb (Xanph)
6. Light sorc (Dano)
7. Bowazon (gyes)

With this said, the two teams would be closely linked, and if few players were on, we can combine games. Phae and I will be constantly hopping between games to check on item distribution, characters, progress, etc.

Here's an idea I thought was good... what if Team 1 made origami1///1 and made only odd-numbered games from there? origami3///3, origami5///5... and Team 2 made origami2///2, and made only even-numbered games from there, i.e. origami4///4, origami6///6...

That would keep everyone happy, prevent stepping on the other group's toes, and help with organization.

Anyone have any problems with my drafted teams? Feel free to change them - I just tried to balance them (not hard because they're practically identical). How about the game-name idea?

The teams seem fine/great.

I'd like to point out that some team skills should be recommended.

Hammerdins can pretty much keep the standard build with only conc/vigor I think. But some more might be good.
Summoners should have Amp obviously. Maybe a bit more. (bonemancer included, except he doesn't have to have amp)
Barb needs BO. XD
Every sorc should have tele/static.
Bowa should have valk.
Werebear should have one of the spirits obviously. His choice on which I guess. (oak sage helps the team the most imo)

Just pointing some basics. They shouldn't have to have it like that, but it'd be helpful.

Looks good to me. I plan on getting Amp and Decrepify in my build (more for when I go solo. Our summoner should have them as well). Should help a bit.

Now we just gotta wait for the reset. It's killing me :laugh:

All right, well. As for that part, we should probably announce when the realms are down, and when they're back up.

I know gyes was talkign to me about maxing out his valk today, and im sure your firend will as well, and im getting deity to go fire claws ( hurray ) and I will probally be the main teleporter for my team, but ill talk abotu to between my sorc's Xanph and jnheart. No clue who yours will be yet, or if you are goign to have a designated one ( somethign to think about for the future) anyways when you were talking abotu the checking up on eachothers game callmethespeluker, ventrilo will help us with this ALOT, so instead of us making our team wait for us to go cross game, we can simply let eachother know new news by simply tellign eachother through the mic, this will be alot more efficent for us as well =D, and they were mean to you in my vent hmm... ill have to talkto thsoe guys, well in any case i have a few others that we could most likly use anyways.

All right. With all that said, let's keep an eye out for the realm changes, and when they're up post it!!!!! WOOOO!!! I've been wasting time on open and singleplayer, using item editors and junk like that lol. I made a bow with 100% CTC lvl 20 (every offensive spell in the game) on hit, including teleport (which teleports the monster) and blaze (which enchants the monster's footsteps with fire that hurts them).

Make sure you know your team and which game to join! Could I get anyone with vent experience to PM me some instructions? i'll get my mic up into this room tomorrow.

Well Tyrrok, you're more than welcome! As you see we only have 14 people, and not all will be online at once. Even though we already have two summon necromancers, if you'd like to make one I guess it's all right. If you're not sure, I would suggest a javazon or martial arts assassin (both of which require more skill, however). But in either case I guess you could go with Team 2, since they have the fishymancer and therefore less summons than our summoner.

Team 1:
1. Hammerdin (Spelunker)
2. Summoner (Fuzzy)
3. WW Barb (Grlitz)
4. Blizzer (KillerRS)
5. Light sorc (Dano)
6. Bonemancer (Ripee)
7. Bowazon (Rsuddenly)

Team 2:
1. Hammerdin (magicfind)
2. Fishymancer (Bubble)
3. Werebear (deity)
4. Blizzer (Phae)
5. Meteorb (Xanph)
6. Light sorc (jnheart)
7. Bowazon (gyes)
8. Summoner (Tyrrok)

Looks like a well-rounded team! Good luck to all of you, Teams 1 and 2! (I feel like a game show host)

A NOTE TO READERS: It would be smartest to max these groups out at 8-9 people each, so if you're thinking about joining then join now!
