Hey, Im wondering if some of you would be interrested in a 2 vs 2 tournament. It would be played on either Crucible, Prison or Cataract tell me which one you think fits the best Another rule I think should be that only ONE tier 1 demigod is allowed in a team (erebus, oak, ub, rook). This will make people use the lesser played demigods aswell.
Another rule (Cowbuttzex's rule): The second demigod in your team will have to be either Reg, Tb or DA
You want to join but dont have a partner? Here is people to play with.

Are you interrested?
If so you can reply here and tell me your team.
Oh - and who is officailly running the tournament? Passfail?
Im fine with the rules. I also support the idea how to change demigods. About game crashes i think that every game that runs more then 2-3 mins should count!
I think it is necessary to span the tournament over some days, so we are able to check the replays and can discuss them. Also the teams have time to post if something irregular was happening during the match.
We should also start to form some teams of the people who don't have partners! I would appreciate a teammate who lives near my timeregion(GMT +2) so its easier to practice a little. But, actually I will play with everyone who wants to have some fun.
You tell me, I posted a replay I played with rawr on the bored not too long ago, but no one has actually given me any feed back about the game.
I agree. If you don't have a partner yet, get crackin so we can get this setup. If there's someone on the list that you already know you'd like to be teamed with, I'd recommend shooting them a pm or chatting them up in game if you are on when they are.
Regarding the brackets - I've created an excel spreadsheet for that purpose. I've also created a routine that will randomly assign teams to fight each other. It takes a list of all of the teams that have registered, then assigns them a random number between 1 and 100. Then sorts the list by random number. Then we'll take the team at the top of the list and they will fight the next person in the list and so on. I'm planning on using this to setup the brackett. If desired, we could randomly determine who will fight in each and every round using this system. For instance, we'd determine who is fighting who using this sytem for round one. In round two, I'd add all of the winning teams again to the random number generator, and then we'd have matches based on that. Or we just play things as they lie and run the random number generator 1 time and stick with that.
I could use the random number generator to pair up all of the folks that don't have a partner, if desired. We should set a cut-off date where you can no longer register for our little tourney.
replays still work, what was eliminated was the personal for the demigod portals. There is no longer a game admin, stratedgy specialist, replay reviewer etc.. etc.. for the portal.
So post replays as much as you can dammit! and talk on the boards I am lonely there!
ok - some more updates based on feedback:
What we've agreed on:
Additional rules to discuss:
I say Let synn be the only TB!
How about I become the ref since Mith kicked me off of his team?
I can probably pitch in some money as an incentive since I need to spend some.
okay Thundercles has quit DG forever
I might try to coerce him to play, and if he drops, he drops. But we'll see. If you have an odd number of teams we'll see what we can do. Not that we would probably be much of a fight 'cause I've played all of 3 games in the past month :3
´´Oh - and who is officailly running the tournament? Passfail?``
Pacov you have done a very good job helping with the rules, setting up rules to discuss and more. I would vote for you to run the tournament. I just came up with the idea having it.
About the teammate list:
If we cant get everyone to team up by themselves, it would be a great help if we could randomize them. I would be happy to play with most people on that list. Except synnworld of course. haha joke.
Ninki and hedgie I put you two up on that list aswell so you wont end up without a teammate.
Macillia is also looking for a teammate.
I'll run it then. I'll put up what I consider the official rules and we'll see if there are any major disagreements. For those individuals that don't make a team, I can randomize them.
I think the one thing we really should agree upon is how crashes and invalid gamestates will be handled. For crashes, its pretty easy to send in a screenshot showing the crash and to provide the demigod log as further proof. So, we could establish rules, if desired, to have a match thrown out. In the last lagwars tournament, if a player crashed, it did not matter. Whichever team won was the winner, even if a win was only gained because a player crashed out. We might just want to stick with this method. I personally thinks its a lousy way to lose a tournament, though, so I personally wouldn't mind if we added some sort of provision.
With regards to invalid gamestates, that gets a little more tricky. Replays could be used as proof of who was actually winning the game, but a team could simply get a slight advantage and then pull a desync. I doubt anyone here would do that, but its a possibility. Perhaps the rule in desyncs is that a 3rd party would have to review the replay and could declare a winner IF and ONLY IF it was quite reasonable to believe that the other team had the game won.
Oh - and I think a few people indicated they'd be willing to put up some money for the tourney. I have nothing do with that, so if that does actually occur, they will handle the distribution of funds. I will simply verify the winner. I also won't be setting the exact times for your matches. Once we determine who is fighting who, it will be on them to coordinate a time for the best of 3.
plz add pacov + trouser as a team to the list and remove me from the individuals.
Here are the rules I propose:
And here are the things left to discuss:
If you were wanting to put money up for the tournament, let us know here. As of now, its just a tournament for fun and prestige in our community.
Get cracking on forming teams guys in the list! I still suggest sending pm's to people you'd like to team up with. We'll be coming up with a date soon where registration will close.
Drops/invalids/critical errors/etc...
If a player drops but the game continues I believe the partner should conceed and the game should be one of two things:
-Replayed if the game was close and no clear winner could be determined.
-If the game was one-sided up until the drop the game should be awarded to the dominating team, replays would be watched to varify the winner
Critical Error games- this one is tricky because there is no replay evidence. I believe a SS should be posted and the game should be replayed. If this happens more than once in a set of 3 games something is fishy and both teams imo should be disqualified.
-If there is any dispute between the two teams about who won a match a replay should be posted and will be evalutated by some one (I nominate me) for review and a winner will be decided by the reviewer.
There is no replay evidence? I thought the replay existed but it cuts off right at the point of the desync... that's not the case?
I don't believe it even saves the game but I cannot confirm this because I haven't had a critical error game in a long time.
I know you can't click the save replay button because it doesn't get to that screen, but it might be saved under the "last game".
If you can post a replay than I think the game should be viewed and whoever was winning at that point in time should be the winner. If there was no clear winner than a replay of that match should occur. IMO
Ninki i only said that because you have almost stop playing demigod i almost never see you on vent
^It's alright. To be honest, I'm no good with 2v2's. If you want to win, you should team up with Shane or Renz. I knew I'd have to let you out of the nest one day. Just didn't think it would come this fast.
I've been lurking and reading, but not posting in this thread. I don't imagine I'm good enough to provide any real competition. However, I had a couple of idea I'd like to put up for consideration.
Yaaaa spectators!! I want to be a spectator Just pick a char that doesnt have ranged attack* and sit behind the crystal the whole game but get to watch. wooo
*that way you never get drawn into hitting creeps or anything
I want to spectate and make comments. We could form a duo.
this begs the question - uberfix 1.02 otw?
FORM YOUR TEAMS!!!
Zen_God wanna team up? We played a nice 2 vs 2 a while ago i think
I'm out.
