BvB,
Corpsemangler mentioned something about recruiting, there many ways we can do this, but consistancy is a must. BvB/1, naturally is for jspBvBladder Barbs and thats where I would take Darkimus, or private challenges.
Making a Barbs vs Barbs game in pubs in a pain due to the massive amounts of randos/noobs/non-Barbs that invade the game, but thats where we find people. I am just as guilty as anyone in lack of consistantly making a pub BvB game. However, this jsp consolidation did not have the proposed effect as said (or thus far), but it made their jsp management easier. That does not matter, the change has already taken place, no point in bitching about it.
However the recruitment is still with us, jspladder Barbs, to invite people to participate in gm BvB duels on jsp. Obvious problem, lack of Barbs - suggested solutions? As mentioned, hold a pub BvB game consistantly - draw new 'gm' people in, with this we can open the game abit, possible examples are Barbs vs Barbs, Barbs jsp Duels, GM Barb Duels, jsp GM BVB, Jsp BVB Tryouts. I understand that these games will be invaded by noobs. Two supporting suggestions for this is A. have a pub dueler to help remove the non-Barbs or 'bm' duelers and B. With all the godly Barbs on jsp, Im sure you gentlemen have spare parts, make a pub duel bvb/bva (lvl 90 would be proficient) - this way you have a Barb that can go into pub bvb games and have fun and not see some noob yellin' I BEAT a JSP GOD BARB!!! (with like 1 win and screams RAPED! with a post) - I am personally making a bva just for this, the third support is a prop up, what I mean by this is if I am in a bvb pub game, any real bvb can and should beat me. If they do, I invite them to the jspBvBladder duels (ex. Doc Savage who Im trying to get to join), this also allows me to wade through the noobs and gauge the Barbs in pub bvb games.
Another suggestion would be more to the jsp veterans, perhaps they can organize an offical try-out or contest (strong-man or Iron-man contest made in a private game announced through jsp itself - like JSP-BvBtryouts/1 or Barbtest/1 etc etc). Maybe that could draw some potential Barbs. Again warning of 'bm'rs/noobs/scammers and spammers, if anyone you don't know asks to see your gear? Use your best judgement, if they ask to hold you gear and not even familiar with them? Again use good judgemant and say hell no

I mean no thank you.
As I said these are only some suggestions, please feel free to add or improve mine. I am doing the bva barb make for reasons I stated above and to help cutivate jspBvBladder duels

BvB,
