Treeburst155 Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Play brand new scenarios by the Boots & Tracks Scenario Design Team, completely blind! Win six different bottles of fine South African wines, furnished and shipped at no cost to you by our sponsor and resident wine connoisseur, Charl Theron (WineCape)! Experience the new, improved Nabla Scoring System, which makes scenario balance a non-issue in competitions! Be amazed at the organizational prowess of Treeburst155, your tourney manager, who has never made a mistake in his tourney running life (shut up, Kingfish)! _________________________________________________________ Yes folks, the time has come to sign up for the ROW III, Boots & Tracks CMBB Tournament. This is how the signups will work: 1) ROW veterans in good standing will be allowed to sign up first, starting December 1st. On December 10th the tourney will be opened up to all. Any ROW vets signing up on or after December 10th will not have priority over newcomers. 2) To sign up, you must EMAIL ME at the address in my profile. The subject of the email needs to be, "Signup". In the body of the email, type your forum nickname, and the email address you would like to use for tourney related mail. 3) Signup emails will be processed in the order in which they are received. As soon as I get 72 players, signups are over. It is possible, though unlikely, that this could happen before the ROW veterans' signup period is even expired. 4) Do not post your desire to play to this thread. You must email me to reserve a slot! Feel free to bump the thread or ask questions however. This will be a big help to me considering the busy nature of this forum. _________________________________________________________ What You Are Committing To The tourney will begin sometime in the first week of January. You will be playing five PBEM games more or less simultaneously. The scenarios will run about 30 turns on the average, with a medium amount of units. You will have 100 days to complete your games. Assuming 30 turns per scenario, this means you will need to process about 45 files for each of the five games. This comes to 225 files that must be sent by you within 100 days. On average you must send 2.25 PBEM files EVERY day to finish on time. One third of these files will be "movie only" files so it's not quite as bad as it seems. _________________________________________________________ So then, if you have the time and the desire to take part in this event, you need only email me (following the instructions above). Newcomers are welcome to sign up before the 10th, but will not be assigned a slot until the 10th, provided there are slots left. Signups are now OPEN!! ___________________________________________ Here is the sign up list as of 1215 hrs, December 9th (GMT -6). I will try to update this list every 24 hours or so. I will be editing, not reposting the whole thing. The following tourney vets are signed up: 1) JAT (formerly Saport) 2) Michael Dorosh 3) Redwolf 4) Frunze 5) Cpl Carrot 6) Combined Arms 7) mPisi 8) Bimmer 9) a1steaks 10) Spanish Bombs 11) Thumpre 12)Tuomas 13) TABPUB 14) Mikeydz 15) Holien 16) Juha Ahoniemi 17) Pixelmaster 18) jjelinek 19) Tero 20) The_Capt 21) Ted 22) Bertram 23) Vader's Jester 24) Fate 25) Jon_L 26) Mick_Oz 27) John Kettler 28) Kanonier Reichmann 29) MrSpkr 30) TexasToast 31) U8led 32) Cpt_T 33) Kunstler 34) Enoch 35) Jeb 36) Scheer 37) Vadr 38) Heavy Drop 39) JPS 40) Sgt Gold 41) Gunnersman 42) WadePM 43) Lord Dragon 44) Ron A 45) Ali 46) Ari Below are the ROW newbies who have signed up. They are listed in the order in which they will be assigned any remaining slots on December 10th. 1) Nidan1 2) Frontovik 3) Red 6 4) Frenchy 5) Legend42 6) Cyrano 7) Jaws 8) Determinant 9) Sgt CDAT 10) Seahawk 11) Dave Turner 12) SpaceHamster 13) Sripe 14) Joakim Ruud 15) James Crowley 16) .............WITHDRAWAL 17) Slicer W 18) Nolloff 19) Steve Fielding 20) StoneAge 21) Joe Cz 22) Souljah1 23) SuperSlug 24) Ryddle 25) Major Victory 26) Flammenwerfer 27) Wellsonian 28) Zealotburner 29) Major Green 29a) Endit 30) Javaslinger 31) Lt Bull Presently, there are 26 slots remaining. ROW veterans in good standing have the rest of today to claim a slot. In TWELVE HOURS , the new guys will be put in. Any who miss out will be put on a replacement list in the same order. Chances are at least fair that there will be a withdrawal or two before the tourney begins in early January. Chances are downright good that there will be some withdrawals within 30 days of the tourney start date. Updated: December 9th, 1215 hrs Treeburst155 out.

I need an email from you for your signup to be official. Subject: "Signup", In the body type: Holien, and the email address you wish to use for the tourney. This necessary for organizational purposes, and to update my email addresses. Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Cpl Carrot, All losers in my current PBEM's will be downgraded from Vet to Newbie status. You cannot sunk lower than me in CMBB play. If you do, you are not fit to push a tank in anger in tourney play.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CombinedArms Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Woo Hoo! ROW comes to CMBB. What could be better than the WineCape, TB155, B & T combo. I'm sending my signup email now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was kinda hoping Treeburst would let me in since I helped him out of a spot, (and because I want to annoy Holien again). I woul not get too cocky with our game. I tend to have streak of good fortune for about one turn which counteracts 40 odd turns of disaster Cpl Carrot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeburst155 Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 Grog Dorosh, Because CMBB is quite different from CMBO when it comes to tactics, all the sections (6 players) and tourney groups (24 players) will be selected at random out of a hat. Everyone is considered a rookie when it comes to CMBB. CMBO performance means nada! Treeburst155 out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCape Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Carrot, Since you've helped out TB when he needed a spot to fill in RoW II (I think), you are bumped back from Newbie to Vet status just because I can do that and on my say-so. Man, that felt powerful Good luck with your RoW III battles Cpl Carrot, this is going to be one mean, fun tourney. As long as Treeburst is at the helm, things will, with friend Fishy's input, run rather smoothly like a Cape Red Blend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holien Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 Forgive me TB, I never read any of your e-mails. I had too much to drink last night and was not totally with it. As for that darn pesky Sgt Lucky Bstrd. Please put him in my group so that I can get my revenge. Good news as being counted as a Newbie. Should be interesting in seeing who we get put up against. You never know I might get to player the lawyer as well..... H P.s. Ali & Wreck can you stay away from this one this time, please give me a chance I am thirsty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
