I'm down, great idea. And don't make it no runewords, make everything gm allowed.
Basically, the same as the one you ran on ladder this past season. You clearly have the experience and dedication to run that ladder, so no reason it wouldn't work again.
Plus, many people prefer NT over tap zeal (especially the new melee'rs in pn/1), and currently have no outlet for that on jsp ladders, so there is definitely room for it.
Who really knows or cares about whatever "drama" Jess was talking about... its just melee lol, relax a bit.
@Jess..
I mean no offense to you, but I speak my mind when I see fit. No one is asking you to run the ladder, I'm not even sure why you are posting if you are too busy to even participate. Perhaps you feel that your "power" is threatened if another ladder is successful and you are not an admin of it? Who knows, but there is no need for your pessimism when people are only trying to expand and revitalize melee dueling. No single person runs or represents melee, it's a community. We are all aware that you ran a NT ladder that is no longer up, good for you. This is a new ladder proposal, with different rules, and different leadership. We should all support any movement trying to spice things up, especially at this late stage in the game.
As De said, build it and they will come, good luck!
P.S. Make Pheonix GM to add some variety / new and unique builds. (NN "that's BM!" comments, I am well aware that firestorm is BM on items, unless its a torch
)
