So I had an idea at work today while stocking the corn. When I'm on GR there is more often than not one too several games of coop raven shield open, often with no adv games what so ever. These are people who play online, yet usually stay out of the adv scene, and thus out of the *DAMN battle league. Well normally, I'm sure we would all say fuck 'em, however, because of the low number of active clans and cbs in raven shield I'd say that most people are looking for a way to attract more people to play rvs. I wracked my brains for awhile, and I came up with this: a coop ladder.
Now when I searched for coop in the *DBL forum I came up with one result which had nothing to do with coop, which leads me to believe that this has never been tried before, and probably for good reason. Coop in R6 was, I assume, a joke. I know coop in RS was not enjoyable for most, and ghr has never really had a shortage of cbs or clans. But the coop in rvs is more exciting and usually hard. It stresses team work, and would be good practice for noob clans just learning how to play together. Hopefully these clans would play on the coop ladder first because they are scared of MP5 and BoC, and then gradually gain confidence and make the move over to the adv ladders, thus boosting the number of clans and cbs, and making it more fun for all.
So, it was just an idle idea, but I thought it was worth a post. I'm sure there's a thousand problems with it, but who knows, it might be fun...

yeah i think coop players are a lost cause.  the people that want real team clan play will look for it and apply to clans when they think they are ready.  as it is i think coop rooms are used by some to familiarize themselves with the game, then they make the transition to live play.

and you forgot to mention all the people who are scared of c|  ;-)

When I was (is) thinking of hosting a coop ladder, this idea struck:

Why not make it a competition between two clans?

One clan takes the map of the day (or agreed map), has a go at it while the other clan observes and makes sure there is no cheating involved.

Edit: Poster above mentioned same thing. Missed that. Sorry.

Rules:
3 tries each
Same map for one cb
A win of the map is awarded with a win of the cb. (If clan one wins in its second round, clan two must win to make to make it null)

I am currently developing a points system...

There are plenty of RvS clans, but they just need to play. A 20 Team ladder CAN be successful, but it can only be as good as you want it to be.

Hopefully *DAMN will play RvS now that they have a few players. I still want to know what this sheep shit is. I don't want to wait until a week into the school year .

The [01] Clan with our arsenal of G4's will be participating on the RVS ladder full time in season 9.  Be for-for-warned.

That is all, see you on those shitty RVS maps!

I bet some other clan already has a Co Op ladder. Anyways it would probably be hopeless for Season 9, Sbike. <3

I was talking to Mauti about an RvS coop ladder a while ago. He never thought it would be better than a between season activity. Personally, I think that coop is more of a test of skill than adv, and it could be quite an entertaining ladder.

The way I had originally thought of it, your team would recieve a score based upon the amount of time and the number of casualties for a given mission. For score verification, we would need an impartial observer and a screenshot. A "season" would be one run-through of all the coop missions. The winners would be one hardcore group of tango-killers.

we think alike ara, basically the same system
