Sorry for not being able to schedule another AoA match this past week. I'm in the middle of relocating right now. Just drove nearly 3000 miles… Currently searching for a place to live. Hopefully I'll have internet next week so we can schedule the next match.

RE: CoA LoL Players
Someone -pro- PM me an instruction guide on how to enjoy this game.
I don't want wikis, tech specs, any of that bullshit. I want someone telling me how this game is f'in bad ass in lamen's terms like they would tell their IRL friends who haven't touched it. I wanna know the entire point, the match (or game) break down, and how it can get fun for someone completely and horribly newb until the time they're not that way. Or something.
TL;DR - convince me to play this game without sounding like an annoying World of Warcraft poo-stain.
The game has a matchmaking system that tries to match your team against a team of the same approximate skill level (sometimes there will be a team member with a much higher skill level than you), so when you start as noob, you play against other noobs. When you are experienced enough (level 30) to start playing ranked games, you are matched with people even closer to your skill level.
It's a huge transition though from regular games to ranked. You think you are doing pretty good in the normal games, then when you finally start ranked it's like a whole new ball game and skill level.
I think one of the things that really drew me to this vs other free to play games is that you don't need to spend money to advance. If you spend money, it's just on customizations that give your characters different animations.

Without a LoL working PC for forever, that situations been resolved now. Whats the LoL vent again?
Nareik,
The Argyle Menace vs. Annihilators of Avlis (+CoA mercenaries because we couldn't find enough players from Avlis :D ) is scheduled for this Sunday at 9 PM Eastern Daylight Time.
Come join our Avlis team since I will be unavailable starting less than two weeks from now and need I will need a sub. I'll send you a friend invite in game and let you know if it looks like someone can't make it last minute for this Sunday's game.

It seems that we couldn't get a consensus on a time for this match. The best time might be Sunday night beginning 8 or 9 PM. Argyle Menace team, please let me know if this works for you.
Everyone cross your fingers that the new patch doesn't break the game before then.

RE: CoA LoL Players
It looks like the initial time we came up with for this Friday evening isn't going to work due to some team members having to work. I found this web service that enables you to create a poll for scheduling/availability so the one for our match is at:
Basically, you go to the web site, click on the boxes that you are available for to turn them green, and then I'll be able to see the times that everyone is available. Please put your summoner name in the box before you hit submit. The times default to Eastern time. I believe it is daylight savings time also because it appeared to be 4 hours off when I switched it to GMT.
Everyone feel free to use this tool if it helps. You don't even have to create an account or sign it. It gives you a unique code for each event and schedule you create.
Currently, the scheduling notes we have are:
- The Argyle Menace team prefers nights after 8 PM (Eastern), but could possibly do a game as early as 7 PM on Saturday.
- One of the Annihilators of Avlis team members works nights, so the match would have to be before 3 PM on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is open, though.
- Another one of our team members is usually not available between 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM Eastern.

@Broken:
We'll start playing matches this weekend, Captains, add "Rochesta" to your LoL friendslist (Thats me). Don't worry if your team can't make the match, it can easily be postponed to other dates. Check the website for any updates.
Adding you as soon as I get through this log in queue! Fortunately, it was only 10 minutes this time.

RE: CoA LoL Players
The Avlis team roster is finally starting to come together :)
We have three from Avlis, and two volunteers from CoA. We're still looking for alternates since I will likely be away for a week next month.
Broken, I'll PM you our roster as soon as I get the last summoner name.
LoL downtime this week is killing me :( Blasted patch!

@Broken:
I'd suggest asking Jemir about going merc for their Avlis team.
You are most definitely welcome to. I only had one person from Avlis say he was interested in playing :( I don't think anyone else plays. Can we get 3 mercs? :)

RE: CoA LoL Players
Broken Gunblade,
I'm currently working on getting the Avlis team put together… very slowly... still have 3 more slots to fill. I'll send you the roster as soon as it's complete. In the meantime, I have some questions regarding tournament rules.
1. I'm assuming we will be playing Custom Game tournament draft format with champion bans. Please let me know if we are doing something else like normal blind picks.
2. Can we have alternates/substitutions in our roster in case some team members are unable to make a certain match up? Round Robin with 3 games per match up sounds like it will take up a lot of time, so being able to pick from a pool of more than 5 players may give us some scheduling flexibility (right now I'm hoping we can even get 5).
3. Can we use VOIP (Skype/Ventrilo) during the matches?
4. Is anyone else suffering from LoL withdrawal with the NA servers being down all day? :(
