Shinja who said he could write a program that can do what DCI reporter does now. What does that do for us. We make it availible for download here for any and all that wish to download it.
This is a great idea. Bloomilk is aweseom & I'd like to see what Shinja does with this project.

What would this do for us. It would immediately give us control over our game. Because that is what it is our game. We would define the terms of competitive play. It would give us more options of defining who are the best players. We can make the rating actually mean something. We can hold our own qualifiers for the championships.
Sounds great.

We can also run tourneys online using vassal... giving a global championship.
Sounds great but I've found Vassal difficult to use but I'd bite the bullet & figure it out if there was something at stake.

We can run big tourneys in real life... with real prizes... not just cash but as Shawn has pointed out prizes for everyone.... and something worth playing for..
Awesome!

Also, we could try to make a better more efficient Vassal. Capable of Voice Chats with Mics, *Blocking* those unwanted users from entering a room to spam, just give it an all around face lift for the better.
This sounds like a good idea & maybe Shinja could be involved with this as well.

1. I love the possibility that much better decisions about maps could become possible. The best of JediCartographer's maps could become legal,
Me too!!

My only worry is, since DCI is, as I understand it, controlled by the same people who produce minis, do we risk antagonizing them? is there any possible blowback from doing something that might be perceived as biting the hand that feeds us? I'm not saying that anything bad would happen--I really don't know. I guess I'm just curious about what, if anything, the Wizards response might be to the development of something like this.
I'm worried about that too. Worst case scenario WOTC says eff u & stops producing SWM. But there's enough out & coming out to keep this game fun forever & if that ever happens or it dies it's natural death, we can always continue to make custom maps & custom minis as well which by the way could be legal for this new governing body.

if we could offer some kind of equal league support (JC map's, have someone do some custom repaints on Cs/UCs, a printed up scenario every now and again), we'd be in business.. of course the issue of who's pocket it comes out of..
Maybe there could be a set of this free stuff-whatever it is-that goes to a state rep. Each state has a rep that hold events for the new governing body which by the way I think should be called Order 66. How poetic.
End random thoughts.
