Re: VS League
What I meant was that at the beginning all nations have the same number of pretender points. Each completed game shifts starting points for new games up or down 1 depending on who won.
Control is definitely an issue - I'm not sure the best way to handle that. I'm sure it would be possible though, perhaps with too much admin intervention required.
Without some sort of handicap, playing a league where people will naturally want to do well, I think we'd get serious over-representation of the more powerful nations.
Another option would be to split the nations into tiers that only fight each other. So within EA there would be three tiers, perhaps:
Tier 1 - niefels, sauro, mictlan, lanka, hinnom
Tier 2 - vanheim, abysia, ermor..
Tier 3 - kailasa, yomi, marverni ..
This would keep duels relatively fair, albeit restrictive of variety
Note that I think players should be limited to 1 duel at a time (within the league) so that we don't get a vast gap in numbers of games played by different players.
