DON'T POST IN THIS THREAD ANYMORE.
I will move the contents of this post and an organized list of names to another thread in the near future. I may post a thread in the General boards as well to those who are interested in joining but may not be Ike mains, not sure about that though.
----------------------------------
I think we all agree that Ike is pretty bad ***, and I've noticed something sort of missing in these boards that speaks to his persona of rough, and warrior-vagabond style. We do sort of express this in the way we speak in these boards with useless threads, gay spammers (me), and comboking (kidding, not really), and I think we need to channel this energy into something constructive, that in this case, makes the Ike community the envy of all of those other d bags.
So, I'm thinking about starting an online league for Ikes around the nation, where Ike users just duke it out in tournaments, season matches, what have you, and we just sort of compose this world martial arts tournemnt-esk feel in the Ike community. In short: a huge league for Ike dittos. Hopefully it's not just me who helps create this, some help will definitely be needed, especially people who are reputable users/contributers on these boards.
Now please keep an open mind here. I know sometimes wifi can suck, and organizing this seems a bit daunting, but if each individual Ike user gives a hand, this will easily be doable.
Where I want to see this going: I have ideas for a ranking system, giving Ikes ranks in their skill, and earning a rep for how many you Ikes you defeat. Of course the best Ike's get the glory, and respect of us Ikes in the Ike community. I hope people will start all Ike clans, and maybe multi-Ike dittos can enthrall. There's a lot that can happen, and I really hope you guys might take it seriously.
I can organize what zones people are in in this thread, along with what each rank will be called, and in your sigs you can show off your rank and record and what-not, but I'll definitely need some suggestions about all of these things, so your thoughts will be much appreciated for sure.
So, what do you guys thing?
-----------------------------------
A few initial rules...
If you're planning to join, I'd like it in this format:
Gamertag
Friend code
Region (check regional zones boards to see where you are if you don't know)
-You can only play people on SWF that have agreed to join the Sons of Greil and know it's a match counted towards your record.
-You must record everyone you've played and the outcome of your match.
-I haven't quite sorted out the dispute between wifi and IRL, and I know Brawl online is gay, but that's what the regions are for, so I guess another rule is that if you don't have good internet connection and you do get lag, you have to play locally.
-If you think the locations are too far a part a "test" match is appropriate. Just join in and see if you're connections are okay without actually fighting. If they're not, then it's your choice, you both either agree to play each other or you don't play. You can't take back a match.
-Be respectful to fellow Ike users
Remember, this is just an idea. I need to see how many people support this. Negativity is okay, but back it up well.
I still need ideas for a good ranking system.

=Shiro= said:I wanted a ranking system that just applied your wins/losses to something more tangible. I was thinking that your win/loss ratio would dictate a certain rank based on your placement in a certain range. I'll give you three random names and ranges for what it would look like (this isn't what it'd be though... there would be more ranks obviously):
Sword Master: (3.00 - ???)
Mercenary: (2.00 - 2.99)
Ronin: (1.00 - 1.99)
Village leader: (0.50 - 0.99)
Boy with wooden sword: (0.00 - 0.49)
(Your actual rank wouldn't be dictated until you've played 5 or so matches.)
These wouldn't necessarily be the actual names, just examples, but it would work like that. This is just a league for Ike dittos. How many other Ikes you can defeat. That's it. Just for fun and curiosity. I hope that many more will want to join and especially some reputable Ikes.
Follow the directions in the original post if you want to join.
