I think the One Man Band is a great idea, I'd definitely sign up for that.

Also would love to sign up for any RB Co-Op league.

And as I said above, I'd love the DLC league as well...but since it obviously wont have too many signups it be wise to poll and see what instrument/difficulty people would prefer.

I like the one man band idea as well, as well as the expert guitar/drums DLC leagues.
a GH2 league would be fun as well, gives me an excuse to play sweet child o' mine again

i love that song lol.

i think 5 would be a good maximum for league signups, at least that's how many I think I could handle.

Voxdrums is really hard cuz the mic can get thrown off by the plastic drums getting hit. If you can manage to avoid that however, more power to ya.

EDIT: btw, Deimos, or any league commish, about how long till season 9 starts? rough estimates are fine.

I love the One Man Band and voctar ideas. My votes go to those.

I think twists would be fun for the solo instrument leagues AS AN OPTION. Set up guitar leagues for each difficulty, then twist leagues for each difficulty. Also, for twist leagues, only have two (2) or three (3) songs a week, but every song has a twist.
Ideas for Vocal twists:

Drum twist ideas:

Hands only

Also, on the topic of number of leagues max to sign up for, in season 8, I signed up for three (3). There were weeks (like, most of them) where I had to focus on one league for one day, then move on to the next the next day. Let's just say I didn't do as well as I would have liked to. If three (3) is not the max, it should be LOWER, to encourage true focusing on improving your skill, rather than getting a half-decent score in an hour, them simply moving on to the next song. It loses some of its fun when you fell rushed to get through all twelve (12) songs you need to complete for the week. See how quickly it adds up?

Though I shouldn't be talking, I'd try signing up for One Man Band, Voctar, and Twisted Vocals... and maybe a co-op league, if I could find a team...

Throw my vote in for a Guitar & Drums co-op league and a full band league...Or even a Trio band league for us PS3'ers who dont have a 2nd guitar yet.

Lefty/"Weak hand" flip. Pretty self explanatory...play on the setting you DON'T normally use.

Yeah... I said this before, but I'll say it again...

"One man band" makes me feel manly! I don't like it!

I'd like to see One Man Band as an up to Hard, and an expert only leagues.
Same with voxtar/drumvox also.
Twist only leagues would be interesting.
I'd be down for a song from each MAIN game, such as gh1,gh2,gh3, and rb; as a league.

Expert Drums/Vox/Guitar DLC leagues please. 3 songs a week, instead of 4 however.

Maybe a twist on the One man Band leagues, a league in which 4 songs on the 4 parts would be a possibility, open to all difficulties.

One last idea. FC only league. I know most leagues are mostly FC's anyway, but it would add a twist to it so that you had to ensure you'd FC all the songs each week, vs. sqeezing and perfecting the highest scoring songs. Just an idea.

Keep the ideas flowing people.
While we have the final say (obviously), the more often I see posts in favor of 'flavor x', the more we will be inclined to run with that flavor.

The reason we will force 3 or 4 leagues signups only is that historically...the following happens.

1. Signups open...like a hungry person walking into a grocery store...you shove everything you possibly can into the cart....i.e. you sign up for every damn league you think sounds cool.

2. Week 1 happens...you have good intentions...you try like crazy to eat everything you bought/signed up for....but you are getting full fast.

3. You may, may not have been able to accomplish all you wanted to..does not matter..you see week 1 results.

4. Week 2 starts. You pick your favorite food..you stick with that from then on....in other words...you continue applying yourself in the 1 or 2 leagues you are doing well in..you drop all the others you are sucking in.

Historically, the drop off rate of any given league after week 1 is roughly 50%. It is staggering. After that, we lose probably another 20% through the rest of the weeks. Allowing you to sign up for too much, we feel, will exacerbate the problem. For the same reason, we are going to keep the number of league flavors down. While we may open up tons of types for signups, we will only roll with those that have a high number of signups. This is another reason we limit it to 3 or 4 signups....to ensure that those 3 or 4 are the ones you really, really want.

My personal input mirrors deimos... for RB, I would love to see the following leagues run:
One "person" band league
DLC only league
voxtar league

I think for the DLC league, you'd (Obviously) have to do some kind of balancing act of a split league if you go the "OK, we're doing each week's DLC as the league" thing.

As far as what DLC would be league-worthy, you'd have to have everyone check off their DLC and use that to compile a League setlist, kind of like what they do for Online mode. That would sort of guard against the whole "OMG I gotta buy DLC!" thing.

I'm also for One-Man Band and Full-Band.
