StugIII Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 With all the talk against gaminess and everyone always trying to be "PC", what about an anything goes tourney? No unit restrictions, no questionable tactics bashing and barely any gaming etiquitte(sic)( I have none so I can't spell it either.) I wouldn't have the time or pretend to be smart enough to run this but maybe if there's interest someone would step forward. I think the entertainment value in the AAR's alone could make this popular. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a quick thought, but what does 'gamey' play have to do with the overused, prejudicial, politically inane, intellectually bankrupt, catchall testament to 'halfwits unwilling to admit that anyone's political stance that differs from their own deserves any respect', have to do with the term 'PC' ? Seriously. Discuss 'gamey' play in terms of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what 'yea' or 'nay' might mean, just now, but if The French says it must be so, then so it will be so. Me for bed, and check this thread upon the morrow.

Noba Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Seanachai, get back in the 'pool. And send a turn. Noba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Ok I'm game. I'll be running that No Holds Barred Tourney. I'd say we are trained for this after gazillions of Games in the Pool. I'll be in touch with some valuable individuals hereafter called Jerks and will post info at MODs & MODers for further developements... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only two things, in all the past months of my own and other's stupidity, has hurt me: The absence of The French, and the disapearance of Peng. I feel revitalized. Mind, I'm going to have to go to bed soon, or lose consciousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrashb Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Originally posted by StugIII: [...]what about an anything goes tourney?

Lots of fun, wildly gamey (e.g., not possibly natural) map terrain, flamethrowers, rickets, king tigers and hetzers. so, you're volunteering to run something like this?

PawBroon Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 I'm working on it Aaronb. Right now I'm thinking it through and am pondering the How many Games variable. Being French I can't say I'll do an a la Baseball like the AKotM was. Once I'm done, I'll keep you posted. All Would be Inners might peep though.

StugIII Posted May 19, 2002 Author Share Posted May 19, 2002 PawBroon, Thanks for volunteering. We'll see if there's enough interest. As for a setup I'd say the maps could be pre-made but, of course, unit selection would be completely up to the player. This could be alot of fun watching King Tigers vs. Jeep rushes, entire towns going up in flames because of some trigger happy FT team trying to deny an access route, ect... If there's any interest make it offically known and we'll see where we stand in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capitalistdoginchina Posted May 19, 2002 Share Posted May 19, 2002 The other tourneys had a reward of "Vino" like a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow..... The reward for the winner of this tourney will be the title of "Gamiest B*****d on the forum. Now there's an incentive CDIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have enough time before CMBB to pull one more off - and even if not, CMBB will not replace CMBO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpack Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Heck, count me in. I haven't played any PBEM or even CM for that matter for so long that "gamey" might be the only chance I have to win one. Work is slowing down finally so I should be able to get some in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, I'll send you a 9 litre wine bottle full of corks that you can hand out as candy to the Invitational players that deserves this accolade, hehe God, that was funny.
