Syrith Posted April 29, 2008 Report Posted April 29, 2008 -Player ShipsTwo days prior to the HSDT players will email their ship configuration to determine if their ship is within guidelines. Looks like you're planning on stealing ship setups. What are the restricted items anyways?

Looks like you're planning on stealing ship setups. What are the restricted items anyways?If I wanted to steal someone's setup I wouldnt have to have them email it to me, I could just PM ?shipitems to them and see what they have. Restricted items are still being discussed.
rootbear75 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Posted April 29, 2008 oh sorry, read over "ship of your choice"
rootbear75 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Posted April 29, 2008 its like in a sports compe!@#$%^&*ion... teams with the best record get the top seeds. (best record gets first seed, second gets the second seed, etc..)so the player selected from each squad will go out and battle in a 5 death match. The one with the most kills gets first seed and will most likely face the person who got the least kills in the first round of the tournament.how you wrote it still doesnt make any sense.

Unix Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Posted April 29, 2008 Seeds are basically how you are positioned in any kind of bracket.
aatse Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 Is it possible to send only 1 representative? Also, any chance moving the tournament to a better server/ increase lag limit by 15ms?
Unix Posted May 2, 2008 Author Report Posted May 2, 2008 Squads must send out a total of 3 representatives throughout the course of the DT Once during the FFA Once during the Non-Sig DT Once during the Sig DT --------------------------------------------------- As for moving the server... Umm no As for raising limits.... Ummm no In fact lag limits will be more strict than they are in pub so that laggers do not effect the outcome of a match.
Suicide_Run Posted May 2, 2008 Report Posted May 2, 2008 Thought they gotta send more cause of seeding
Unix Posted May 3, 2008 Author Report Posted May 3, 2008 The new duel arena is now in ?go duel Teams are maxed out to oneFree for all area south of the duel boxesFree for all for DT seeding will most likely be differentFour duel boxes so four duels can be done at the same time The duel boxes will be about if not exactly the same size for DT Remember not to interfere with dueling, otherwise bad things will happen <_<
linger Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 First:for all that is said and done it is pointless to have 8 people on a squad and only have 3 that will actualy play you will have bigger turnout if there are squads of 3 lableing them as squad 1 and soforth second:wtf i dont understand this is gay i have read every one of your posts and i still do not undersand ffsthird:2v2 i think is more fun puts teamwork into riskyer duelfourth:wtf
Unix Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Posted May 4, 2008 Point 1-Major point was to make squads and get them started. The next event after HSDT will be a lot more squad oriented and this is merely a beginning. Doing the squad 1/2/3/4 thing allows more of your squad to participate, say you have ten players in your squad, 6 of those ten players can then participate Point 2-What dont you understand? Talk to me in game if you have questions Point 3-HS barely does 1v1 duels and you wanna introduce 2v2 duels? Point 4- Hi
Suicide_Run Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 I dont get why there is a point to seed. Players can purposely do bad in seeding and then get placed with other "low" seed players just so they can get through first few rounds without coming in contact with "higher" seed players. That is if my understand of seeding is to rank the chances of squad winning is correct so top seeds goes against top seeds.
linger Posted May 4, 2008 Report Posted May 4, 2008 the 2v2 was mearly an idea i do see what you mean it is important but you said a minimum of 8 how will 6 people participate when only 3 people play

That is if my understand of seeding is to rank the chances of squad winning is correct so top seeds goes against top seeds. doing bad in a seeding event actually hurts you. if you purposely loose in a seeding match then you will be facing an upper seeded player. Example: 8 players are in the tourny. 1st seed Vs 8th seed 2nd seed Vs 7th seed 3rd seed Vs 6th seed 4th seed Vs 5th seed its suppose to weed out all of the lesser skilled players so that the finals are more deserved.
rootbear75 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 its suppose to weed out all of the lesser skilled players so that the finals are more deserved. wow..... fairness ftw.....
Unix Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Posted May 5, 2008 It's not fair to weed out lesser skilled players?
rootbear75 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) on purpose by putting them with a higher skilled player? no its not. you should seed based on K/D ratios you should put people with similar skilll levels together. better yet, use the public RATING stat (use F2 to see ticker w/ all stats) it should be under R Edited May 5, 2008 by rootbear75
protocol_ Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 lol unix is just trying to make it as easy as possible and the seeding is the easiest and its actually pretty fair. stats from f2 are ruined in flag games and should not be applied to dueling. having a qualifying round shows your skill which will place you into a seed.
Suicide_Run Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 Seeding isnt really the easiest nor the fairest way to place people. If you want easy/fair/least time consuming, you might as well get a random # generator and generate the slots for people instead. That way, you waste less time hosting a seed match and getting everyone to participate.
Unix Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Posted May 5, 2008 1) Gets one more player involved from the squad2) You want to place #1, for all you know you might get a bye in the first round (meaning you dont duel and you automatically get a p!@#$%^&*)3) If you do poorly in seeding, you get a bed seeding, meaning you have the hardest time4) If you do great in seeding, you get a good seeding, meaning you have the easiest time5) With a lack of any relevant data to interpret, since pub stats is based generally on flagging no centering, this is the overall best way to do it6) If we use a number generator, who's to say I didnt fake it and just put whoever I wanted to put?7) Virtually every sport uses some kind of seeding when it becomes a tournament style bracket (Take a look at all playoff formats) You fight for what you want in the seeding match, it's not like I'm forcing it onto you9) If this isnt fair, why is it done so much?
