IMPORTANT: PCL Reorganization and Auction Signups (Please rejoin here!)
 
PCL Reorganization and Auction Signups

Hello, PCL! The PCL Championships recently concluded, and the Ghosts of Perdition clan emerged victorious. Congratulations to GoP and its members!

Even with the conclusion of the months-long Championship, PCL is not discontinuing activity. We are going to jump into an offseason full of events and activities before the Championships resume. In order to do that successfully, though, we need to perform some housekeeping. Based on internal discussion and user feedback, we concluded that PCL needs to be downsized both in its number of clans and its number of members. In particular, we want to make sure that there aren't any inactive users so that PCL clans have better team cohesion and turnout.

That is where this thread comes in. We are asking that everyone who wants to continue with PCL sign up again here. This is something of a formality, but we want to make sure people explicitly opt in and commit to being active participants in the League. (Or, put in opposite terms, we want to give people who are no longer interested in the League the opportunity not to sign back up.) Our ideal number is 4 clans with 7 members each, for a total of 28 members, but we will remain flexible. Even if you are not a returning member, you are free to sign up, but members who have been active in the last PCL Championships will be given priority over new sign-ups.
Activity Requirements

Furthermore, there are minimum activity requirements for signing up and being accepted into the League so that each clan is active and cohesive. The requirements are as follows:

- You must be either an active poster in the Battling & Team Building forum and/or an active Battle Server regular. Unfortunately, in order to safeguard the League's activity, we felt compelled to restrict the League to existing community members.
- You must have a minimum of 100 posts on the forum. However, if you are a returning member from one of the original PCL clans and have good record of activity during the Championships, you will be exempt from this requirement.

We (Anti, Chase, and wolf) reserve the right to deny users entry on these grounds, though we do not anticipate needing to do so for any of our returning members who haven't already indicated in some way or another that they are no longer interested.

If you are interested in joining and are unsure if you meet these requirements, please sign up anyway and we will consider it!
Signup Form

In order to sign up for the League, please fill out the form below, even if you are a returning member:

Once we reach a round number for clans, we will be holding an auction. For now though, we are just looking to get a list of who will be participating in the League going forward.

Yeah, I plan on converting everything to either UTC or GMT around the time of the auction (once we know who will be in the League) and then updating the Clan Directory accordingly.

Also, since I'm posting, I might as well say here that I will be handing off the Ghosts of Perdition clan to wolf once he returns to full activity, as I will be more or less leaving PC upon returning to school. I will still play a part in running the League and organizing events for the offseason, but I will not have anything close to enough time to participate fully.

Anti August 15th, 2015 5:42 AM

if you include wolf and dragon (who haven't signed up in this thread but will be clan heads), we have 17 people. the minimum to make pcl a functioning entity is 20, though we really want 24 so that each team will have someone to sub out. i'll probably message a few of the more active players from last pcl and see if they want to play. once we get to either 20 or 24, we'll proceed with the auction.

Evening August 15th, 2015 6:15 AM

Exams are over, and I can finally be active. (not sure if i'll be accepted though, i wasn't really active before)

Sorry for getting around to this somewhat late. I have been trying over the last few days to invite a few active members from last cycle, but with little success. I wanted to post some of the decisions for acceptance/denial in the meantime. If you aren't mentioned, you've been accepted. Now then...

I'm sorry, but it's just not a risk we feel comfortable taking after the first cycle of PCL. If you stick around and prove to be an active presence on the server and/or forum, we will accept a sign-up at that time, but for now I'm going to deny this.

Your activity record was poor enough during the last PCL for us to feel comfortable letting you back in. You literally disappeared for weeks at a time, and your clan should not have to remind you to be active multiple times. If your activity becomes more consistent, you can enter the League, but right now we're going to deny this.

During the last cycle of PCL, you did not complete a single match, and your activity has declined since then. While we would love to have you if you returned to your old activity and showed more interest, but right now, until we know we count count on your activity, we're going to deny this.

We are going to accept you, but I say this with some personal reservations. You accumulated more activity losses than anyone else being accepted, so we are expecting you to be more (pro)active this time. Nevertheless, welcome back!

Once we reach 24 participants, we will have the auction. (wolf and Dragon are also participating as clan heads.)

guys i'm so sorry but count me out, it's not gonna happen for me at least not at the moment. i don't want to enter and be inactive so i'm taking myself out while it's easy. more detailed post in LOA.

Sirfetch’d September 28th, 2015 4:26 PM

Just wanted to update you guys on a few things. For starters, we have not forgotten about this! There have been a few kinks, mostly just us being really busy plus losing a host, that have set us back in schedule just a bit but we will have the auction soon and be under way. Secondly, we will be introducing some cool things such as events and a sweet splash that wolfy has taken time to make. Some of the events we have planned are a XY tournament that Anti planned out as well as PCL Hunger Games which will be an insane amount of fun!

Anyways, sorry for the delay guys but things should be rolling very soon.

wolf September 28th, 2015 5:23 PM

Just to give an estimate, the auction is planned for this Saturday if all things go well (I haven't talked with clan leaders yet however). Events will be starting right after, and we'll be revealing a new system soon. :) Everyone will be receiving PMs soon as a reminder, and it'll provide a chance for anyone to drop out if something bad cropped up recently.
