__Yossarian0815[jby] Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Since the server(s) aren´t exactly overpopulated , how about a 1on1 tournament? I suggest 8 players, so we would start with randomly assigned quarter finals. The players decide when and which map they want to play. I would suggest mandatory short AARs by every player. I would suggest 2 games per round on the same map played from water/blood, if both win one game, the decision is by points. whadaya think? and most importantly, who wants to play?

Phonan Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I really like this idea, jby, but I think that we might want to do more people and have a group consensus on a map that all people play on. Either that or we decide on a different map for quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, etc. The reason I suggested more players is the "inevitable goonrush" mentioned in one of the more recent threads. I'm sure lots of people would like to try their hands at it. By the way, I'll give it a shot, though any of you bot wranglers will slay me in a second, as will anyone who puts up more than 2 anti-Viper defenses. I'll also need to wait until I get a two-button mouse for my Linux box, so I'll be a while in coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytoniousRex Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Sign me up! Great idea, jby. I *love* 1 vs 1 games. Who else is going to join the roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the next step would be 16 players IF we have the tournament in the KO manner as I suggested. I´m all for map consensus. To start the discussion: Quarter Finals: Dead Gulch Objective Semi Finals: House to House Battle for 3rd place: Black Canyon Final: Raid Objective Current Roster: jby, Phonan, Claytonius Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phonan Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 All those maps sound good to me. Sorry, I didn't think about how we'd need 16 players. With a bit of luck we might be able to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilibird Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Damn. Unless this is gonna be over the US Labor Day weekend, I'll be off at college, and ResLife (I think) has this nasty bit in their agreement about games/bandwidth usage. I may have to check that one again, though >: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Yossarian0815[jby] Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 I don´t think there would need to be a strict completion time table. Other than maybe by the end of 2007 or so. Course it would be cool if Clay could rig Delta Pavonis to only play a single map on certain days... might simplify matters. When is the Labor Day weekend exactly? It usually takes me 2 months to organize a dinner party for 5 of my ex colleagues from university (and they don´t have kids!!!), so I for one am patient So Chilibird, are you game? There must be a place where you can play on high bandwidth for an hour in the next two months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

__Yossarian0815[jby] Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 yeah that was really tooth and nail, very good games, every one really really close, but raid was decided by a whisker. and you really got me on black canyon, took me completely by surprise. There I was feeling smug with 2000 points under my belt a few minutes before the end...

Phonan Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I'm all for a one-on-one Viper match, but how exactly would that work? Do you maneuver until you grab the opponent with your cable? That would take a ton of skill. Time to get back into Viper shape, as I'm really truly rusty.

Phonan Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 And, though I apologize for the double post, Chaos6 and I had a great one-on-one a few days ago. I was supposed to be playing StellarRat, but we apparently got on at differing times, so Chaos and I had the whole 2 games to ourselves. On Twin Peaks, our fight was truly intense, with waves of bots and turrets and madcap blasting. If all our games are like this, we should definitely get as many people as possible for the tournament.

Toby Haynes Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 JBY was dropping hints to me in another thread. Much as I'd love to compete, I have very little time to play at the moment, due in no small part to house renovations. Now, if you can cope with me being a little laggardly or difficult to schedule, then that's fine. I don't want to hold up the tournament but if it is straight knock out, maybe it won't be too bad.

__Yossarian0815[jby] Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 OK, so here we go: Everybody got a No.: 1 jby 2 Phonan 3 Claytonius Rex 4 rua´anith 5 Redcon-5 6 ThePhantom 7 Imperial Grunt 8 Nexus Research Randomizer Results Set #1: 4, 5, 8, 6, 3, 2, 1, 7 thus: Quarter finals: 1) rua´anith vs. Redcon-5 2) Nexus vs. ThePhantom 3) Claytonius Rex vs. Phonan 4) jby vs. Imperial Grunt semi finals: the winner of 1 vs. the winner of 2 and the winner of 3 vs. the winner of 4 The map is Dead Gulch objective, no mod Since we have no direct control over DP, we´ll just have to vote through the maps until we get there. You play once as blood, once as water. If both players win one each, points decide (write down your score, preferably make a screenshot of the final screen..especially cool because we could do all sorts of funny statistics...ammo waster champion, most killed player etc. )points of both matches are added, more points wins Please post when you are going play, so that other players will stay away from delta pavonis for the duration of the match. V1.3.1 is out! Check if there are any unexpected problems before you have your match! Please write a short AAR of every match. sort of: this was my plan...and this is the disaster that ensued When to play: when both players have time, ASAP (the next 2 weeks or so) If there are no objections we can start tomorrow!
