SpyParty is a super cool game that is in open beta right now. We are organizing a SpyParty league so that we can get some regular games going and raise our collective skill and experience levels. No experience is necessary to join. None of us are very good at this game, so don't worry about being a complete beginner.
We're doing a round robin schedule for Season 1.
Season 1 Roster 1. Gammagooey
2. xRECKONERX
3. Untrod Tripod
4. ChannelDelibird
5. Hiraki

Eight is a good starting number for a round-robin league. I'll give the signup thread a little more time and then we can talk about details.
I'm thinking we can do nested best-of-three matches with each Spy/Sniper pairing. Record wins/losses.
Better ideas?

well, a "game" in terms of how our tournament would work should last somewhere around 30-45 minutes. would that be worth a reboot for you?

well, the exact format is up in the air, but you will play at least 2 games as spy, 2 games as sniper.
I kind of want to do a match format somewhat like tennis, but I'm not sure if everyone wants to spend that kind of time on the game.

well, for the purposes of doing a ranking system, best of three is the best method I can think of. If we did win by two, long matches would really hurt your percentages.
and number of wins and losses would be totally out the window. we might do win by two for a tournament though.

this is the group I have currently. the Mac/Linux people seemed kind of iffy. if you want in just let us know. This week is going to be preseason. I'll hang out in the lobby when I'm at home. Shoot me a PM/IM if you want to play a game and I'm not paying attention. I'm willing to help newbies learn, I think Reck is too. Gamma is a shark, so watch out for him.
Keep track of your W/L record. We'll do preseason rankings that way.

Offer stands for anyone else who wants to get in tutorial time or preseason games.
Note: Post in here when you play and how the games went. Anyone who doesn't participate in the preseason doesn't get a spot in the league this season.

Season 1 should probably be in the Ballroom. I'm still thinking about how it should go. I'm weighing the benefits of allowing playstyle choice be a factor for Spy against the benefits of complete standardization.

eh, 4 of 5 is like a single degree of difficulty easier for the Sniper.
but I think you're right that 4 of 6 is the way to go.
So it's settled: Season 1 will be Ballroom, Any 4 of 6 (No purloin)

Gamma and I did a trial match tonight. What I think we'll do is start with a best of 3 match in each configuration. If you split the wins, then you do a tiebreaker match where you alternate configurations. First to win two in a row is the winner. Here's the template:
Match - 2-1
Match 1 (Gamma)
As Sniper: 2
Match 2 (UT)
As Spy: 1
Match 1 (Gamma)
As Spy: 1
Match 2 (UT)
As Sniper: 2
Tiebreaker Match (Gamma)
Gamma: 2
UT: 0
We should post longer-form records when we do the actual matches (like we did in preseason), but this was a test for how the matches will actually shake out. It took us about 15 minutes.

We only have five players in Season 1, so we'll be able to do a straight up round robin tournament.
1. Gammagooey
2. xRECKONERX
3. Untrod Tripod
4. ChannelDelibird
5. Hiraki
Week 1 will be 9/23-9/30. We'll do two matchups a week, since these take about 20-30 minutes.
