must have a majority of any badges available and may not challenge any GL more than once per week and not more than twice a month for the same GL spot is my current idea

I have a feeling everyones so hyped to be a gym leader right now that no ones thinking about actually competing, I imagine once the gym leaders are decided then the people that didn't make the cut will start taking the league challenge (hopefully) and not just trying to usurp a gym leader spot. You intended to have some rules against challenging gym leaders for their spots right away or too often if I recall?

As I recall he said that the rules of the gym would be up to the gym leader,idk

that was for normal gym challenges he is talking about when a normal member tries to take a sitting GL's spot

And are the gym leaders allowed to challenge another gym leader?

Only confusing bit for me is how a person using a type not represented can challenge a gym leader for their spot with a different type and potentially win due to type advantage, or not be able to ever get a spot because their type isn't represented in an 8 badge system. I can't imagine a way to get around this bit either

I personally don't even like the idea of GL's having their spot taken... I mean, challenging for badges, duh, but it should be optional for a GL wanting to accept a challenge for their spot to be taken.

YOU HAVE THE COMENT 666!!!!!!
Anyways, I think that will only work if ya forfeit your gym and have an full mono typed as the same ex-gym leader and you want to take his spot

Why should only 8 select people on the forums ever get the chance to be gym leaders though, especially if someone better comes along?

well a gym leader my opt to change their type at any time
the only requirement is (in my plans atm) that you either fulfil either 5 challenges or have been in your current spot for a week
this will ofc change if we expand to an 18 slot league but until then...

I just think it's silly.

EDIT: I think it should reflect the actual games. In which, if a GL decides to resign/quit, they can, and someone else can take their spot. That, and again, it be optional for a GL whether to accept or not to have their spot taken.

But it would not be fun at all like we get an person here in the forum and we dunno if that person is good and he/she stays in the gym for the rest of the game lifetime
It is even more cool because you have something to fight for with full power, or else you lose it^-^

I am almost 100% sure that challenges wont happen often esp b/c i will be putting strict requirements on challenges
also a new GL gets atleast one month on their spot before they can be challenged
overall it is a way to get more people involved esp those who have already earned all/most of the badges and are stalled out on the E4/Champ
also it will add some variety to the gym challenge
with gym leaders changing every so often new people with new teams and new strategies

Well I'm more referring to non-gym leaders taking the spots of others. For example let's say I'm a psychic type leader and someone wants to be a dark type leader but theres currently no dark type gym, do they have any other options in an 8 gym system besides a) not being able to become a leader because their type isnt a gym, or b) being able to challenge my psychic gym and winning easy cause of type advantage and taking that slot for a dark gym. Or maybe im just missing something in the rules

EDIT: read your other response and my concerns become mostly moot with that many restrictions on gym leader takeovers, plz ignore me xD

I think this is a great idea, more people=more strategies=more challenges=more awesomeness and fun
