jon_j_rambo Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Okay, I'm already got my Camp Rambo Fisticuff league...in the middle of my "Give War a Chance Tour", but I'm interested in a tournament. A tournament where heroes & heartbreak are born. Do you have game? Are you interested? Or are you a loser playing wargames on your Mom's computer afraid to post? Suggestions for the name of the tournament: Heroes & Heartbreak Tournament Von Herr Rambo's Winter Invitational Bunta Buster Barrage Banquet World Cup of SC2 Anybody game? Anybody got a tourney name? Suggestions? I'm game, -Legend >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> OUT [ June 29, 2007, 02:24 PM: Message edited by: jon_j_rambo ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisND Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I go for SC 2 World Cup. I'm in. What about including different scenarios as well? The default gets tiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaMonkey Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 What's the "window of opportunity"....ie time schedule? Are we waiting for 1.06? Is 1.06 compatible with 1.05a.....Hubert? Rumors abound that some very interesting custom scenarios are in the works. IE. I like your suggestion ND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preusse Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Id be interested in playing Thrawns European Theater as part of a tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Cool, thanks for the responses. Seems we have some things to organize. Not sure when the next patch starts. Based on how many people would like to play, will determine things, I guess? Small tourney, say 8 players, we can have a standard bracket tourney with a draw. Far as picking sides, we can use a bidding system Far as scenario, we can use one for the entire tourney, or let player decide in their own match-ups. Personally, I'm game for whatever...just time pending. Please continue to post ideas & requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellraiser Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I guess I'll join as well... For picking sides...hmmm...tricky stuff here...any bidding can seriously impact the game balance as it is now...really the game is pretty balanced right now. Perhaps we should have a game master or something to pick sides for players ... or some coin flipping software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Okay guys. Please start posting your preferences & stats. Captain Jon J. Rambo jon_j_rambo@yahoo.com ICQ #234-993-018 Can play TCP on weekends. For tournament TCP, I need to schedule appointment. I live in Pacific Coast Time zone, and do limited TCP/IP during the week (evenings). PBEM works just as well too, average couple turns a day. Far as "what we play", looks like we're going to get roughly 8-12 players? I recommend a very simple bracket format, single elimination to get the ball rolling. In the past tournaments have almost gotten too big, thus taking forever to complete. Lets make it KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid. I vote for a 1-game match, all or nothing, with the standard '39 classic scenario. If the players both want the same side, they need to bid. If the players want change things for their own individual match, custom, whatever, that is between them. BUT, the default will be the classic set-up, with bid to determine who gets what side if their is no agreement. Is that clear as mud? Keep the suggestions coming, cast your vote, etc. Far as the bracket, we could try to do it by seeds...but, I don't know the skill levels of everybody. Random works too. Or if the crowd would like to make some rivals battle in the early rounds, that's cool too. It's all about having some fun, enjoy the WW-2 history gaming, smack, etc. Back to work for now >>>>>>>>>>>>> OUT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon_j_rambo Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 Please post your info: Captain Jon J. Rambo jon_j_rambo@yahoo.com ICQ #234-993-018 TCP Weekends by appointment.

jon_j_rambo Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share Posted January 26, 2007 @Hubert --- So, is that a solid 2-weeks? Or maybe longer? Will 1.05a work with 1.06? In case we start the tourney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Difficult to say for sure on both questions. As it is now though v1.06 should be compatible but there are some 1939 campaign changes and a few bug fixes that won't kick in until everyone upgrades to v1.06.
