Treeburst155 Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Yeah, SuperTed! You could run a "Newbie Tournament". Nobody with member numbers under 6000 allowed. If you don't do it I just might have to break down for poor Chad. EDIT: Oh, I forgot. Thanks, Seanachai. I appreciate the compliment and have always thought the same of you.

I am starting to lean in that direction. However, I need to sit down and hammer out some details before I can commit. I do know it would be small (no more than 16 participants AND scenarios no larger than "Small") and would include some of my whacky creations from over the last seventeen months. Also, I am toying with the mechanics of making it a triple-blind tournament. Stay tuned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 The most important thing is not to require too many games be played by each player. I think five games is the best. More than that and the last players won't finish until July 4th. Five games in 90 days seems quite doable for people. What's triple blind? Treeburst155 out.

SuperTed Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 TB155, Agreed. I don't want to get involved with a long, drawn-out event. So, I think the small scenarios will lend themselves to quick play. Triple-blind is having neither player knowing the scenario (prior to play) or their opponent (proir to AND during play).

Stoffel Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 why not do a simple knock out tourney? create some weard evil maps like Iron Duke did,no rules no bothers on gamey things just fun play and get your ass kicked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Stoffel, That's a good idea too, and probably the simplest one for me. So, it is definitely worth consideration as well. Thanks.

Stoffel Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Thanks,no problem. At last thought there is one rule you should think of,no 14 inch artillery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted December 1, 2001 Share Posted December 1, 2001 Stoffel, That will not be a problem. I would use scenarios instead of Quick Battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Harrison Posted December 2, 2001 Author Share Posted December 2, 2001 i think we have something great brewing here now. i am all for the 'none under 6000' rule. about 5 games to the end, and each being smaller would end it in good time. using pre made battles would also solve a world of troubles and rules. then all we can do is just play. TB155, then when CMBB comes out perhaps we can all put together a tourney around april open to everyone? with CMBB being new then, im sure there will be a LOT of interest for a tourney with our new toy this is better than being the fat kid who finally got picked for the basketball team! thanks fellas. chad 'harrison' [ 12-01-2001: Message edited by: Chad Harrison ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 I like the triple blind idea. That's an original twist. Stoffel's suggestion is great too for keeping things real simple. No scoring problems, no gamey problems, etc.. I played in Iron Duke's second tournament and had a blast. Anything goes with tactics, and crazy maps. It was a lot of fun. The knockout tourney type is not as good a measure of player skill relative to the others, but it's just as fun. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoffel Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Hi Mike, As you know I played that tourney too got knocked out in the third round though this sort of setups are the easiest,and you know the problems some guys had to end their games,let alone the trouble you can get with 5 games so after all a knockout tourney where everything is possible seems the best solution too me btw did you find your tacops CD back again there will be a new version coming out at the same time as CM2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Chad, There will be plenty of tournaments after CMBB comes out. On the first come/ first serve ones you have to be fast. Check the forum every day once CMBB comes out. Stoffel, Yes, I found my Tacops CD. I've also got a TacOps map I was working on. It's rather good I think, but it's unfinished. I still need to assign the terrain values. If only there was more time. I love TacOps. I will buy the Major's new version as soon as it comes out. I've also got his field manual CD. There's some very interesting stuff in there. OK, back on topic. So SuperTed, are the newbies having a tournament? Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Monkey! Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Even though my # is no where close to being over 6000, I would still like to be part of this tourney, as I've only been playing CM since April and have never participated in any of the other tournaments.

SuperTed Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 BM (Hmmm...), Don't worry too much about your member number (Hmmm...). This tournament will be for those who are new to CM, new to multiplayer play, and new to tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
