Guild Monkee Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm sure by now we have all worked out which Malifaux podcast is the best to listen to but, which podcast crew is actually best at playing the game? (Clearly it's going to be the Bayou Broadcast but let's pretend it's not otherwise this idea is pointless!). Following the launch of the Malifaux Vassal module, we may be able to definitively answer this question. What I would like to propose is a Vassal based league between as may regular podcast hosts as are interested to see who comes out top. Please note that I did say REGULAR hosts, therefore bringing in a ringer (e.g. the Malifools using Joel) would not be allowed. Apologies if I miss any but I think the list of eligible podcasts would be; Soulstone Train Malifools Bayou Broadcast Tartan Skirmish Radio Cheated Fates Radio Aethervox Lost Boys Radio Malibros (the new one from the Black Sun guys) Gamers Lounge Through the Breach SeanHammer There's a couple more that I know of (e.g. D6 Generation) that cover Malifaux along with other games and some other formats (e.g. Joeyfaux on YouTube) that would be more than welcome to join in. If I missed anyone, please let me know (more than anything so I can subscribe to them!). Please let me know what you think and, if you're a host, if this is something you'd be interested in.

ukrocky Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Clearly it's going to be the Bayou Broadcast So what's the point in a league? For fun? Get outta hear. Also, I have to put up with Dom dragging our score down most likely. Also, also, how convenient you're looking for a new host that might be James Doxey... Also, also, also. Good idea.

Guild Monkee Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 It would be me and Shane for us, maybe Nathan too depending on numbers as it looks like he's the new Jake. Would be mainly for bragging rights but a prize wouldn't be too hard to sort out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One idea could be a UK based league, a US based league, then 1st plays 1st, 2nd plays 2nd and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guild Monkee Posted January 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 So almost like the American sports conference system? That's definitely worth considering. I'll get ideas, etc from everyone and then mash them together into a smorgasbord of Malifaux goodness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Another idea, is because we all have recording stuff for audio, we could record the games, I can show people how, and upload them to a website I have in mind. It'd give a great archive of a good deal of games, with different players and masters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Sounds like an awsome plan are we going to ristrict our selves to a particular crew and or faction? We could also have two boards potentially one for individual hosts and a channel board (average of hosts scores) or potentially a doubles board? As for sharing a room with jake everyone will play there best to avoid that wooden spoon garunteed lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancor709 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Im in spencer has no actual computer to play it on. But sounds like a whoot. Id also lik to try doin some color commentary.

scuttlebut Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 How about we add some fluffy rules... ...something like podcasts score extra league points when they actually release an episode? ...podcasts lose points when they have episodes forcibly removed from itunes?

Prunesquallor Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Awesome idea! I think The Aethervox will be a wildcard in this one. On the one hand we have Adrian, a tactical genius and reigning national champion. Ian and I, on the other hand, barely know how to play.

ukrocky Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Meh, the aethervox will disappear for ages and then when they do finally play games they'll be so boring everyone will fall asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratty Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 What you need is a marshal that is entirely unbiased and doesn't take bribes to resolve rules disputes. I do however take donations, and like a nice Whiskey, Spiced Rum and Cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richelieu Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 I can prod the portlanders and our newest hire to see if they might be in on our side. I know for me this time of year with 4 podcasts to do and 3 of them are gearing for adepticon isn't condusive to having hours to spend playing games i fear.
