Rasta420 advances (10-4)

 

Update: Since no one has a wacky ship, all duels must now be done in ?go duel. The second round ends OCTOBER 6TH 2007 (SATURDAY), that is, roughly 2 weeks from this post. If an extension is requested, I may not grant it this time. There's only 3 duels that have to be performed, so please do them as soon as possible. This means contacting your opponent and fixing a day and time to duel. If you are unable to do this, you will be eliminated.

 

Round 1 results

Laserman advances (10-5)

Senjacky advances (10-

Rasta420 advances (10-5)

SOS advances (5-1)*

 

*note: Snot+ has not been online for quite a while (intervals between 8 and 6 days offline), while Russky has. Russky therefore advances. - I don't know if the duel (SOS vs. E>

 

The above image will display wins and losses as the tournament progresses. Every player will be notified of their opponent in-game, and it is your duty to find time to duel your opponent and keep up with the tournament. The first round ends SEPTEMBER 1ST 2007 (SATURDAY), that is, roughly 10 days from this post.

Please follow the rules, and get a third player or moderator to watch over your match. You must post your results on this forum and/or message me in-game (?message=Hakaku:blabla).

 

If you're curious as to how everyone was randomized, I had originally thought of putting everyone's name in a hat, but then decided to use a program called "The Hat" and paired two players in order. The first try/shuffle was the one I picked, and I'm not changing the listing. I appoligize if you were unfairly paired, but this is a tournament after all! Anyhow, best of luck to all those who are participating

 

Recap: Duel, first to die 10 times loses. You must use the ship you specified at the bottom of this post.

 

Note: Clee1 replaces Gibbit by request.

Note2: DareSound (aka The Stranger) has replaced Master Mike due to inactivity both on the forums and in-game. Attraction and DareSound have until September the 1st to duel if possible.

 

The Tournament

 

Since it's August, and there's less than a month of summer to go for most people around, why not have a tournament?

Last time Flyingfinn had organized a tournament (here), but unfortunately never got around to finishing it. So this time, I'd like for all the mods of Devastation help out in case I suddenly disappear or get overloaded with real life or something else for some apparent reason. The tournament is not expected to be fast-paced, so there may be prolongued date limits for each round.

 

 

The rules (first round)

 

-The duels will be to 10 deaths, with no winby factor. First player to die with 10 deaths is eliminated.

-If both players die at the same time, then it's a tie and no score is given to either player (nc)

-The ship type is not restricted, however you must choose 1 ship before the tournament starts, and stick to that ship.

-The map in which you do your duel is not restricted (?go duel is recommended though), but be aware that greens can give an unfair advantage. You are however, not allowed to duel in pub (?go).

-If you kill your opponent, move away or go into a safe and wait until both players call out "ready" and "go!". This prevents spawn laming, or players who weren't ready.

 

Also, be courteous and no cheating. Only 1 alias is allowed. We recommend that you get 3rd player or a mod to watch over the game. The arena you and your opponent choose to duel in is your own responsibility (be aware of flags, balls, gravity, alternative settings, etc.). After a duel has been performed, you should either post on this topic, or message me in-game (?message=Hakaku:blabla 0-10 jds) with your score results.

 

In the event that you do not follow the rules, you will face being removed from the tournament.

And just to clarify things:

The dueling tournament will be in the same format as Flyingfinn's, because it's the most convenient way of doing it with a smaller playerbase.:

"How it would work is everyone will randomly be given a partner then you and your partner make up amongst yourself when you do the duel and the winner advances to next round etc. "

 

The difference is, I'm being less restrictive than FF was, and allowing players to choose their ship. Once it will be set up, each player will have a random opponent that they must duel. The pairs will have to decide between each other the arena they will duel in.

The arena can be anything in the zone Devastation only EXCEPT PUB. Do not choose race or maze maps, as they don't have settings. I recommend the arenas "duel" and "elim".

The main reason for allowing players to pick their arena is because the settings for a ship might be at a disadvantage in an arena (such as levi in ?go duel - shrap is not effective) - thx to jds for pointing this out too.

 

There will also be a fixed date for each round, if you and your partner cannot duel each other by that time, you will be disqualified (hopefully not), unless you request extra time because you have a good reason (e.g. vacation)

I want to play but I need a flexible schedule.

 

How are the dates/times going to be arranged? I read that there will be an "ending" round date? So I'm !@#$%^&*umed you have to duel your person before that date?

[Hakaku]

Exactly. Let's say we started the tournament tomorrow. I'd give roughly 10 days or so for you and your partner to find time to duel.

If all the duels are done earlier than that, then we can start the next round
