Dan Verssen Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 NOW HEAR THIS. Down in Flames is proud to announce the first non-campaign related tournament. Tournament name: TILL DEATH DUE YOU PART Date: Saturday, January 14th, 2006 at 12pm Pacific Standard Time Type: 1 vs 1 Prize: Bragging rights, a cool icon for winning pilot, and a big wet kiss from Jessica Simpson (well thats if you can find her and she wants to kiss your ugly mug) MUST SIGN UP BY JANUARY 11th. Late applications will not be accepted! SIGN UP BY EMAILING sixxkillersquadron@hotmail.com and posting created pilots name, your full name, and DIF login name. Rules 1. YOU MUST create a NEW element of pilots from any of the countries in the game (US, UK, GERMANY, or JAPAN) Your pilots will start out with 200 experience points. Use them wisely! REMINDER JAN 11th DEADLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2. YOU CANNOT PLAY this pilot until January 14th, and only then in the tournament. Anyone who does will be disqualified IMMEDIATELY. 3. Player will show up on time and must be able to stay for the duration of the tournament. Anyone who cannot stay for at least 3 hours shouldn't apply. 4. PLAY WILL CONTINUE until all but one pilot is left alive. 5. ESCAPE DEATH will be stripped from your initial skills, so in theory, you can be out first round. 6. Players MAY BUY any skills (including target pilot) or draws (redraws included) or playable cards (ie Ace Pilot, OTS3:4...) if they accumulate enough experience points. 7. Players can start with any plane type that 200xp will unlock, and will be able to use an upgraded plane if they accumulate enough experience points. 8. Players will suffer fatigue on the same basis as in regular ladder play. (IE 36 points of fatigue for being shot down, 18 for being damaged, 9 for flying a mission w/o being shot down or damaged) 10. Players will all have the same number of missions flown. In case one player doesn't have the same amount as his opponent, he will fly against the tournament official(s) in a non shooting click-through where he will incur 9 points of fatigue per mission until he is caught up. 11. Any person missing a turn will be removed from the tournament. (Its only fair since your opponent could have shot you down anyway) 12. Any disputes will be handled by the tournament official in the fairest manner possible. 13. WINNER of each fight will report if his opponent's leader was killed. 14. Players will be picked at random who they will face. 15. Play will be conducted at VETERAN DIFFICULTY (but you may agree beforehand to use ACE difficulty if you wish) This is so the tourney can be played and concluded as quickly as possible. 16. Any disconnects will still count as a game and if the AI finishes you and you die we cannot bring your pilot back to life. 17. GOOD LUCK!

Guest Mike Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Is this 1 pilot like 1 pair of pilots, or just a leader without a wingman? [edited to change "with" to "without"!!] [ January 08, 2006, 12:42 AM: Message edited by: Stalin's Organist ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron von Beergut Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Dumb question: since pilots will start with 200 XP to purchase skills/cards, does that also mean they start with a plane of that level or with the basic bottom plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartbert Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 They would start with a plane with an unlock value equal to or less than 200 XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Verssen Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 I've edited the original post to make it clear that you create an element of pilots, and that you can fly any aircraft that your XP can unlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixxkiller Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 I told you Dan that we should lock all posts so Stalin cant come in! But he signed up for the tourney so all's forgiven! -Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistura Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hi all. I guess Stalin's Organist is going to play British. I see that Mr. Smith is going to work for the the Men in Black. Tired of working in the post office are you. Hey after 5 (STRONG BEERS) German beers that is. I'm surprised I can still type. He He Stalin's O's You gave 3 top Aces last month. You don't have to give every month. A little R&R for your chaps will do them some good. Give them some of this German beer. I do wish you better luck with your pilots, and I hope not to see any more of your pilots there. I want to see Lakespeed/Fred/Tornado etc... Just kidding guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornado Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Yeah, I killed Smith's Wingman lastnight. Unintentional of course. Again, sorry about that. Stalin's Organist kicked my butt in two missions lastnight with our uber aces - my arse still hursts [ January 10, 2006, 10:41 AM: Message edited by: tornado ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakespeed Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Hey, I was the 5th person to register, so The stupid play of me on the 6th turn made it easier to decide who to erase, because I got one of my good aces KIA. Hopefully I got that out of my system for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Smith retired 'cos Tornado killed his wingie and I can't be bothered playing an uber-leader with a neubie wingman any more But he still shows as having the current week's high Exp/flight thanks to the 400 pts he got for shooting down Tornado's Group Captain All inactive pilots get to be on the "dead" list regardless of why they are inactive - see my other thread about differentiating between retired and dead pilots!

First, I agree that "retired" pilots shouldn't show up as dead, but I don't consider it to be that big of a deal. Secondly, you defeated my 3rd and 4th best pilots, not what I would consider to be my Group Captain - but a whooping all the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Group Captain is a rank in the RAF you nong - it has nothing to do with where the pilots are in your list!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornado Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 RAF ranks do not apply to USA pilots you nong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Equivalents do you dweeb - and the RAF ranks are sooooooo much easier to understand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornado Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Totally disagree - The US uses bars and stars (with the exception of Major & Lt Col.) - the brits only have stripes - I can't make heads or tails out of it. And yes, I knew they were equivalents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Of course you disagree - because you're a dweeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
