Would you like for the WPL to return as a side challenge here at DPC and do you think we have room for it with so many other side challenges.

I'm would like your input if you have time. I have been working on the WPL side challenge and thinking about hosting it again.

Please fill out this survey so I will know where the community stands.

I will post the results at the end of the survey.

Thanks,
Scott

I think that was before my time here. Could you explain what is was and the difference if any?

It was a sweet official side tourney where the Ribbon Hogs put up some of their best work and dominated Judi and everybody else... ;)

EDIT: Oh wait, that was the DPL wasn't it. The WPL was Scott's creation and was what the DPL was based on. They were actually very similar.

Wasn't there talk a while back of the DPL coming back? But looking at the forum archives... looks like that was more than a year ago.

After reading that initial post on that thread.. I'm trying to think, what the heck has changed on here that was so pressing that DPL had to be put on hold.. I know I must be missing it.. But, can't seem to figure out what those "other fish" were that's needed frying..

edit to say: I'm all for the WPL......

Don't worry a 6.3 average would be for naught in the league. :P

I do remember a certain team (not naming) that avg 7+ just about every week. AND I WONDER WHO THEY WERE??? LOL

WPL/DPL motivated me...I've completely lost interest in dpchallenge and will probably let my membership lapse unless WPL comes back. I didn't really care about winning or loosing, but the friendships made and encouragement was awesome.

So, does this mean you've talked to Langdon and DPL isn't coming back?

Shouldn't we first ask if Langdon is coming back? :P

Ha! Good point. :)

No I have not talked to Langdon and I don't know when or if he plans on bringing it back. I don't see a problem reintroducing the WPL since the DPL has been stagnant for so long with no news of it's return. As long as everyone play by the rules (i.e. do not vote on a team members photograph) we should have a problem. Langdon know that I have the highest respect for this sight and the users here and I wouldn't bring back the WPL if I thought it would pose a real problem.

I think the majority of users here are honest people when it comes to rules and regulations at DPC and therefor I feel comfortable hosting the WPL again. With that said, if Langdon contacts me and ask me not to go forward with this I will respect is wishes.

Scott

After voting we were able to see the results. But going back to the page I cant figure out how to see the newest results. Is there a specific link for the results page?

I so miss my team and would be all over this if/when it gets going. So Scott I am in with a big ass grin!!!! :-D
 07/10/2009 07:34:18 PM · #21
Dont forget about WPL3 and the F-Stoppers. Do it!
 07/10/2009 07:50:48 PM · #22
My best work came when I competed with your WPL. I'd love to see it again.
 07/10/2009 07:55:04 PM · #23
I wrote in the comments column of Scott's survey:

"Like the others I do miss the WPL/DPL.

It does seem to me that you had an awful lot of work to do to keep the league going. And it did get a bit too much for you. I would not like to see that happen to you again.

But, Scott,

if you DO feel able to take this on again - with some help!!!!! please - then, sure I'd be in and who knows maybe my awesome team would be together again too."

IMNSHO...

The DPL was brilliant, when integrated into DPC.

It was the last time I really participated in earnest.

Most of all, my team mates were/are totally awesome, inspirational, provided excellent feedback from which I learned a metric ton, and made me better as a whole. I cannot say enough about my team.

TRIGGER HAPPY KICKS ASS!

Well excuse me, I suppose you're right, if the top ribbon winners get together for the purpose of ensuring victory then I would not be involving myself anyway :P
