Difficult Runic Gauntlet Prep League - First Come, First Serve

Mods are as accurate to announced mods as possible - should be more difficult than official to strike a balance between A1-5 and A6-10.

Edit: We're up to 60 players at this time, will continue adding crowdfunding increases if more are interested. For those that have asked, no Global chat has been specified - would suggest just using Global 1.

Edit2: There are 113 people total - only 90 slots currently with a +10 crowdfund. If you're on the waitlist, you'll need to contribute to the slot increases to get in.

Edit3: If someone wants to shell out $$ for a 100 slot crowdfund (600 points) so everyone can get in, let me know. There's only 100 slots at this time with 60 on waitlist.

Edit4: ....didn't expect so much traction. I'll begin removing people who haven't made a character tomorrow to open slots for others.

Edit5: If you've been removed for inactivity, please message me to be added to the waitlist.

Edit6: The 20 longest inactives have been removed. still quite a few that haven't made a character but I'll hold off til the end of the day for the rest.

Thanks for setting this up and letting me participate!

Any Global Chat?

I've no idea how managing a private league works but it looks like despite me crowd funding 25 points I didn't get in when the number of players was increased because there were 10+ people ahead of me who had already been invited to join.

Maybe you have to not add anyone to the waitlist until you get enough funding to add more players and then add anyone who crowd funded first before adding anyone else. Seems like GGG should automatically move people who crowd fund to the front of the list but whatever. I'm assuming you can see who crowd funded otherwise it just seems like a bad design of the crowd funding system if you can't.

I unfortunately can't see who funds and who doesn't, I've funded 250 points so far, so I'm just adding a 10 player crowdfund and accepting people as they apply. I agree though, not sure why it doesn't move you up if you're the one that funds...

I'll add 20 or so, see if that gets you in (I also have no idea how it works)

I "think", I just added 20 more (at least it took my coins :D)

I have to press a button to add players in an increment of 10, 100, or 1000, then select to either pay for it or post it for crowdfunding. I've just been doing increments of 10, and there's no way to queue them and I'm not notified when they're completed....so I have to check back to add an additional +10 crowdfund if one is completed.

Also, looks like everyone that has applied at this time is in, thanks for adding more.

Makes sense. Thanks for putting this together!

Yeah I appreciate you setting the league up, just seems like the crowdfunding feature wasn't well thought through when it was implemented. It works fine for how it is most often used I suspect (a group of friends setting up a small private league) but not well for true crowd funding. Doesn't seem to be any way to get your money back if the crowd funding fails to reach a set amount, no way for the creator to track who has funded or how much, etc. In any case, time to see if I can get past mud flats.
