ND Pro S.A. Local Teams

See so many people have been emailing with comments like "wft are you doing" and "keep it up". I feel it's time to lets everyone in on the rules.

I belive with good training we could make a great S.A. Team and go head to head with other interstate teams but first me must have local matchs to see which name droppers are worth sending in to interstate games.

The ND Pro games (ND = Name Dropping) is very simply, firstly you become a trainer, much like being a pokamon trainer. Then you train up two name droppers (some times three if in state finals in case one name dropper needs to drop out a spare is listed). Training is simply, you just count how many times one of your Name Droppers name drop in a forum reply. a good name dropper can name drop up to 3 dj name per comment.

A good trainer can train their name droppers with out the name droppers even knowing their in training.

Once you have a good name dropping team you then can take on other name dropping teams. In a team game, each team has two week to make as many name drops as they can. names can only be counted once per reply so cut and pasteing names over and over only make you look like a wanker. At the end of the 2 weeks a self-a-pointed ref will take count to find the winners.

Sounds stupid.... yes..
sounds like a waste of time... yes...

I belive my team is ready and its very clear who they are.. so who wants to take us on for a local team match.

just sign up you team in this forums!

once teams are ready match dates will be released.

GOOD LUCKY.

Any Name Dropper Team Player can never out ranks their Trainer. Just like pokamon but I fear my team wont fit in to the Pokamon Ball.

LOL

I should of said that only trainers can sign up a team once the team is formed.

Because of my own team nearly being caught cheating by itself, (well done cammyxxoo) some rule will now be openly inforced. Here are the rules from section 2 in the NDPro guildlines book.

2a Trainers can not play, their name drops do not count to their teams NDPro points. Their role is one of training, every team must have a trainer.

2a.1 ND Teams must have 1 trainer and 2 major Team Players, back up players are allowed but can only play if a major player wishes to stop playing and withdraw, If a major player wished to withdraw they must first strip off and while naked run a full lap of St Pauls, untill that happens a major player is still in the running untill the end of the game.

2b Name dropping your own team does not count nor does name dropping other teams players names or trainers.

2c Bagging or ruff houseing by a team player to their own team trainer will cost 1 ND point. If this continues the player willl be red carded the allowed to play on. The use of the 'sin bin' is quite pointless as players use it as a starting point in the games anyway.

2d Point are only give when name dropping touring djs or local djs but no points are given for name dropping djs who already are in a team or who usualy post on itm at a weekly level.

2e Name Dropping personal friends do not count. If you meet a dj once on tour, and because of that meeting you belive you are going to be friends forever, you need to seek help please for your own good, click here

2f Being a smartarse will not get you extra NDPro points as NDPro points are only give to the use of names. nor will it make you look cool to the other team players. Over use of being a smartarse will mean one ND point will be removed if reported by other team players. reports must be made within 24 hours from the point of smartarse. useing first names counts as well as nick names, slang and the use of full names.

2g Teams can be formed by clubs, superclubs, superduperclubs and promotors. Also indepentant teams can be formed which can also allow uni clubs and biker clubs.

2h Any team player name dropping a name but cant back up the claim will have 1 NDPro point removed.

2i Drug testing at this times will not be enforced. While the use of drugs in sport can be harmfull, at this time we see no reason for testing to be inplace with NDPro team games. If you should feel like peeing in a cup and showing it to your friends will help your place in the game please for your own good, click here

So where are the other teams?

Moderators, even with their godlike powers on the forums are still able to take part as a player or trainer. As it stands playing at a local level, any one who forms a team can play as long as you all know who are the players and who are the trainers.

To make it easy for other players and trainers, all playrs should list in their sig their team name and what part their playing. This makes it fair and also the NDPro point counters know who to count point from.

Who's actually counting these name drops and can we have a thread (not one containing the rules that has been pinned) where all the name drops at the end of the week are tallied..? (and possible links too to the name drops for each time, I see that Devil is quite profficient at this skill) I don't want anyone cheating - fair go and all that.

And, being in Chrissy's team, shouldn't we be now combining points rather than against one another (as in your sig) or are we starting from 0 again.

Hopefully I have enough time in between rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous to partake in such an event.

Maybe we could wait until the Olympics start and have 16 days of name dropping complete with both an opening and closing ceremony..?

I see real potential in this, and with the right co-ordination and skills I am 100% behind Devil in this, especially regarding moving onto interstate and maybe even in the future international comps.

does dropping names of well known scientists count, or is the whole geek scenario frowned upon?

anyone looking for a geek, possible couldnt drop any names, but can convolute sentances to infer an contact etc.. and hence forth name dropping?

Scientists unite. You can join our team (altho I don't THINK Chrysoula is a scientist... Chemistry, Surgery... maybe she's into something medical..?)

We're already in the lead, you can stand in as a trainer as we don't have one yet - altho being the pros we are, we don't really need one, just someone to stand in as one for our team. Currently chasing Gary Ayres tho... that may or may not come to fruition Smilie

Cammyxxoo as your trainer i've very disapointed in your last comment.. reason is as follows

Must like most games, when boys what to play, they rush in, skiping the most basic parts of the games so they can score, much like with other stuff boys do.

let me remind every one that this is a dance mucis site, there for it is a dance music game. name dropping doctors, nobal prize winnersor other people outside the dance music world do not count (and make you look like a dork with no action) unless it is some one like "Doctor Damage". i'm sure that is easy to understand even for the lowest iq players.

Also, it is not any wounder why the girls (cammyxxoo & Chrysoula) are clearly champs when it comes to play this... it is bacause, in case you have not noticed in all there pre game comments, is that you can only name drop people you meet on the weekend (or week night if the case my be), name dropping past events out side of a 7 day strech wont win you points!! If you could just pull any name from out of the blue this game would just be a pointless act of ego. It stands to reason that you also can just make up names. we all know who is on tour each weekend so saying you got mashed with Prodigy really wont count for anything unless you can prove they were here within the past week that applys to the post.

Basicly boys, dont bend the rules, keep it simple, do you best not to play smartarse style which there are rules about (see rule 2f).

--------------------

ok back to training my team.
cammyxxoo, we are not quite realy to hit the interstate play off there for our team does not need extra players, don't just think that just anyone can join our team, the person in question is clearly not up to grade if they want to name drop Scientists. Also I'm not sure what you maen by "not haveing a trainer" as you have been training under my supervision for months now. where's your head at missy.... what cos you think your all that now you don't need your trainer. i bet you do...

also seeing no game has been started your points along with your team mates are only warm ups, seeing you have not even won a game yet you should hold off bragging till our team goes to the wayin and then a real match.

YOUR TRAINER HAS SPOKEN! now do an extra 50 laps of the field to make up for your lack of teamness...

I think that Nodsta should get extra points for (1) Sticking to the thread and (2) keeping with dance music site content Big Grin

(*reads rules* damn I can't use Noddy as my name drop cos he posts here AND he's part of a team... pointless name drop *slaps forehead!*)

Sorry Devil, I didn't realise that we already had a trainer..! I must have skipped that part.

I didn't agree with Vinum's use of scientist name dropping at all, I merely said he could join our team as trainer. As I missed the fact that you were our trainer (please provide suitable link), I now revoke that last offer to Vinum - humblest apologies to all involved.

Can Vinum perhaps then be our sub, as you did say that teams are allowed 3 players..? With the right training, I'm sure he can move up to the status that us girls are at.

Cammyxxoo..
It is very clear that the more you think you know the less you really know. Before any NDPro rules were listed you were one of the best players but once you became aware of the rules your game play has dropped.
You are too busy talking about the games and should focus on what you do best, talking about yourself and the friends you make every weekend.
Nodsta did make what would be a perfect NDPro post, but how could you, after all the training you have, come to think that Nodsta should get extra points for (1) Sticking to the thread and (2) keeping with dance music site content. NDPro point are alotted by Name Drops.... incase you missed it..... NAME DROPS ... Even trasor has got his game going, so i say again, where is your head at.
As your trainer i have to strongly point out that you should do what you do best. Talk about yourself. Your last posts are clearly breaching rule 2f. if you keep this up the only thing we can do is drop you off the team.

Nearly counts as a name drop but you have yet to talk to him so really you need to save that one for a week or two. Yet it is great to see someone putting some real game on.

Remember the game is based off what off tappers do, people who become dj ho's at events and wait on the sidelines for the djs to finish so that they can meet them and then tell the world how cool they are cos they are now best friends with the dj. so get on the sideline and wait your turn.LOL

Hmmm but what I dont get is that Noddy's ND didnt count so cause he did emphasise and I quote " with Armand van Helden when he plays at my club in a few weeks time"

that surely has to count for something.. name dropping that it in fact is "your club" is better than i think dropping a dj's name... IMO... What does the rule book say about that one devil??

I think more our trainer needs to be replaced - he's obviously NOT up to standard - we worked better when we didn't have one. Your contract will not be renewed in the next year. We are currently searching for a suitable replacement.

I've not posted anything name drop worthy as I've not actually been anywhere in the last week. Sorry.

I know i'm a team player but name dropping has never been my best thing. I sure Devil will have some big worded comment about my style cos i know my own trainer does not give a shit.

I got a lift to town by some chem dj who slipped me the side door at chem. then i contunied to have shooters at the bar with another chem dj and mc. untill one of my frineds who's also a dj and his girlfriend came in which i contunied to have shooters with. then i start walking around in a drunk mannor chating to that tall dj from rise and that big hardcore dj. after more laps i ended up talking to that strange promoter who rocks with his cock out. after then it becomes a classy blur of taking photos and pushing around that breaks dj that no one ever hires but should cos he woops the beats..

how many NDPro points does that make.
