Howdy, not sure this idea's worth mentioning but I just thought I'd toss this idea out there for chapters/ players to chew on

It's meant to be a series of FUN matches, aimed mainly at getting to know other chapter members/chapters and hopefully make new friends.

Each week a different chapter hosts a match or matches against a team made from a mix of different chapters.

So for example if it's the Legion of the Damned's week to host the match we would field a full team of Legion members against a team made up from a mix of different chapters. Then next week another chapter say the Thousand sons for example would host a game with their full team against a mixed team from various chapters.

- On each Monday the host chapter for that week will post a thread labeled "Mixed MAYHEM" In this post the host will specify the following information:

- One of the following 2 maps: Hab centre or Manufactorum (everyone has
these maps)

- The game type to be used for that weeks match/s. Only one mode can be
picked for each week and the following week's host must pick a different
game mode from: (Seize ground, annihilation or capture the flag)

- The weapon to be used for that week EVERYONE on BOTH teams must
use the weapon that the host picks for that week

- Armour/shield settings for the game (depending on how powerful the
weapon for that week is the Armour and shield Regen settings may need
to be adjusted

- The match/s will take place at 4pm EST & 9pm UK time (I think that's
right) on either that weeks Friday, Saturday or Sunday (the host picks
the day)

- The results of the previous weeks match/s

- The name of the mixed team captain (see picking the mixed team)

- a voting poll for which chapter will host the next weeks match. You must vote for a chapter that's not your own. If that chapter can't make it the chapter with the next most votes hosts the following weeks game. At the end of the match for that week the host will announce which chapter won the poll and will be hosting the next weeks matches.

Rules

- The host chapter gets to wear their chapter Armour/colours and insignia for that week everyone else wears chaos black armour with black patterns and details

- Games will be set to 150 kills (if it's annihilation) and 1500 points (if it's seize ground) If the game is annihilation you have to play in the center of the map (within the yellow lines)

- Markers will be on

- Friendly fire will be on

- Perks will be switched off

- All chat will be set to game chat (meant to be fun and social)

- No spawn camping

Picking the mixed team

Players could reply to each week's "Mixed MAYHEM" post on Monday. They could state that they are available for that weeks mixed team game and what chapter they are from. The hosting chapter could pick a captain from the list of available mixed team players. The captain of the mixed team would then pick players for his team from that weeks list of available mixed team players.

No mixed team captain or mixed team members can be picked for two weeks in a row unless there is a shortage of available players. The mixed team can only have 1 representative from each chapter unless there is a shortage of players.

Once the Captain of the mixed team finalizes his team for the weekend he posts the final mixed team list and 4 reserves on the "Mixed MAYHEM" post.

Another option is to have 3 chapters hosting a mixed mayhem match each week and each of the three host chapters would host a different game mode (seize ground, annihilation & capture the flag) that way more players would have a chance to play in a mixed team each week.

This is just an idea for now so it's now open for feedback/suggestions. Do any players/chapters think it's an idea worth pursuing?

I think it would be a good idea, the only thing I see a problem with is the timing of the games, there might not enough players due to some chapters/warbands being on the other side of the world. I know the night lords have a lot of people in the UK and some from the U.S. and this is a ongoing problem with setting up matches due to the big gap in time difference. Also people have things in life that restrict them from either playing on weekdays or weekends. I would love to join this but unless its going to be U.S. time zones, I can't do it on weekdays. But if you can make it happen, by all means lets form up and kick ass

I realize time zones is always going to be a big issue (we also have a big difference in zones (Canada, UK, USA, Poland, Russia, Holland and South Africa to name a few) that's why I'm STRESSING the fact that these matches would be purely for FUN and no reflection on how good an chapter is (especially since a rule like everyone must use the same weapon would mean some people would not be playing at their true potential) So with that in mind if a chapter doesn't have enough available players do you have a suggestion to remedy this? Should a chapter be allowed to borrow players in order to field a full team? Meybe two chapters could collaborate?

[Paladin Xenos]

I think they should be allowed to borrow players. Since the theme of this is to get to know new players than this would be a great idea. I know for sure that I would be able to (and would find fun) to join in other chapters matches and meet new people who might have the same gaming interests as I do. Especially if it gets me into playing some games, Since ive joined back I haven't played any formal space marine matches because of time issues and lack of participation from the other team. You guys were the only ones we actually had a match with since ive been back, sadly it was at 1:00 p.m. my time and i was still at school.

You do have a point, being able to "Borrow" players from another chapter would make it more informal and easier for smaller chapters to take part (in the case of not all their players being available) that's probably the way to proceed and definitely a consideration. I'm still hoping though that chapters won't be afraid to use this opportunity to test less experienced players/new recruits in battle. I'm still open to suggestions, I'm trying to make these games as balanced as possible, while allowing the maximum amount of players possible.

I also thought that another method of picking the mixed teams is to allow various players from different chapters to form their own mixed teams and challenge the host chapter throughout the week at times that suit both party's.

Sounds good man, If you need someone to fill a spot on your mixed team, you know who to call GHOSTSBUSTERS! (actually this guy)
