       anon's 6 Steps To League Creation/Revival
   DIR By: anon
       Date: November 5, 2013, 11:51 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       This is something I tried to set up when I was the commissioner
       of the short-lived HaxVolleyball League in SPHB, but could not
       because of drone starting the league almost immediately.
       I combined creation and revival because when a league is dying
       or has died, there will be some major change or changes made to
       get it up and running again. A reviving league may or may not
       skip some steps.
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       [glow=red,2,300]Step 1 - Plant the Foundation[/glow]
       - Make up a list of rules, regulations, and processes
       - Plan out the league structure and system making it relatively
       simple so changes can be added further on
       - Make sure that many things you built up work and lead to/are
       in correct places
       - Have staff on hand beforehand
       [glow=red,2,300]Step 2 - Create Organization[/glow]
       - Save what is necessary in a format you can understand and
       easily comprehend
       - Make all schedules prior to commencement
       - Have all possible consequences, rewards, statistics,
       standings, etc. already made
       - Look to people and see for any extra suggestions beforehand
       - No overloading a person - make sure there are enough people
       always ready to organize
       [glow=red,2,300]Step 3 - Practice Communication[/glow]
       - Try to condense arguments - do not let yourself go on tangents
       against people
       - Keep yourself rational - do not try to argue a point where
       only opinion is of importance
       - Maintain respect towards your populace
       - Do not let yourself be intimidated from an otherwise unpopular
       decision, no decision changes unless you go for it
       - Always think about what your league has been leaning towards,
       but do not instantly gratify it
       [glow=red,2,300]Step 4 - Increase Population[/glow]
       - Advertise intelligently, do not advertise consistently, this
       will actually reduce interest, look for major times
       - Make yourself likable - this keeps the image that the league
       is a friendly place
       - Small talk with members around others - this gives the image
       that the league has some popularity
       - Develop true claims that could potentially spark interest (ie.
       "join this exciting league, reviving very quickly")
       [glow=red,2,300]Step 5 - Develop Authority[/glow]
       - Keep management in order - anyone not following what they were
       told to do or doing more than they should do should be given the
       necessary consequence
       - Keep populace in order - anyone caught doing what was given
       beyond their own privilege should be given the necessary
       consequence
       - Set precedents that do not bias towards a specific group
       - Do not believe you are the ultimate authority - allow for all
       major management to make decisions alongside you
       [glow=red,2,300]Step 6 - Think Ahead[/glow]
       - Law of diminishing marginal utility - recognize your league
       will not continuously rise in population at a steady rate, and
       how satisfaction will go down after some time
       - Create future population - advertise to those out of your
       realm, attract from many other regions
       - Plan out possible changes and introduce them according to
       demand

       so why dont you start with advertising then? If we get enough
       people we will be able to start up sometime in december (im
       kinda overloaded with school term papers n tests so I dont have
       much time for haxin, but once december rolls around, the term is
       p much over (there is a week or two of exams, but only 3 or 4
       days of classes)

       If you can complete these, I will begin the advertisement
       process.
       It is very simple to fulfill these.
       For the first three, just add or return a couple of trustworthy
       people to the league administration.
       For the last three, just say fine and follow up with it. It is
       very simple to control yourself when talking to members, just
       remember you are the authority.

       For this league for advertising:
       - Do NOT leave rooms open for long periods of time, this causes
       more of an eyesore at first, and will become ignored later
       - Open rooms with the league name involved somewhere, or stating
       the cause for the room (ie. HCD draftee room)
       - Leave rooms open for a maximum of 5 hours during the periods
       of 12 pm-5 pm Eastern and 7 pm-12 pm Eastern on all possible
       days
       - Only play the game mode (in this case, 3v3 Big) that the
       league uses, no changing for any reason unless there are few
       people
       - Do NOT host within the hours of 5 pm-7 pm Eastern, this is the
       "dead time" to avoid when hosting if hosting for large periods
       of time
       - Leave other leagues alone, you will only become a
       laughingstock league for the moment
       - Provide experienced players with positive influence to rooms,
       this creates a relaxed room atmosphere
       - Always host league-related rooms during the expected game
       times of the league
       - Talk about the league within other rooms
       - Make sure every person in the management is providing a
       positive attitude towards players
