Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 
I used to have PayPal but they only give you a limited amount for transactions ($2,000 I believe) and I did $2,000 worth of transactions. After that, it requires a fee to use it. That's when I canceled.

I know Geo took checks for donations so...

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">As far as past donations, that's a good question. Tesco would be the one with final say, but my own opinion is that while your past support is greatly appreciated, the tournament is intended to be a PBW fund raiser. Letting people in on the basis of past donations would kind of defeat that purpose. Plus, while most of the prizes are being donated, I'm not sure all of them are, so there are some costs involved.

I wasn't trying to say people who had donated in the past should be considered for free entry. I was trying to say that if a person is a person who donates from time-to-time, then they (as I would) should look at it as just another donation (that comes with a free entry to a contest).

I certainly don't want people to think I was trying to finagle my way into the tourney based on past donations--those were just free-and-clear donations.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Ah, well I did misunderstand you. Sorry about that. But I didn't consider it a negative on your part for what I thought you were asking. You have supported PBW quite well over the years. Not just financially either.

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 
Slynky,

If you want, you can send me a check and I can donate via paypal in your name...

email me if you want to do this, certainly not a problem on my end.

Thanks,

Alarik

Great Idea, but I might have vacation problems. If all goes as planned I will be climbing the high mountains until August 22nd.

Any chance of postponing the start of one of the games by one week? The tournament won't be the same without the Primitive Hordes making mayhem http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Oh, and just to avoid future embarrasment, I KNOW I am going to get just slaughtered in these things...my playing style/skill is NOT AT ALL good enough to survive in a tourney. But, I just figure it'll be fun as heck and probably make me a bit better...

Thanks,

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 
yes you can pm me for alternate payments. Or email me at seiv (funny a ) tescosamoa (big dot ) com

As for previous payments and on going support of PBW and the tournament fee. I am keeping them seperate. This is a one time shot at raising money for PBW and promotion of SEIV and SEV.

A few of us are paying for prizes out of our pocket and there are 9 copies of the game up for grabs.

SJ and I are running the tourney. With Geo's support and guidence. Natually we will not be playing in the tournament. So no shot at beta test for me.

Primative please send me an email. I have an idea for that... We can dicuss it with Sj and Geo.

Alarikf .... Thats why we have the random prizes to be handed out.... or we would be tossing everything to the machines that rule PBW.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Also note that you don't have to win the game to be eligible for prizes either. That gives us roleplayer types a chance to win. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Is there the standard contest rule in effect about "employees or affiliates" (in this case basically anyone who contributed prizes or helped to build PBW or is helping to develop PBW2) being ineligible to join? I'm thinking I might just give this one a whirl, but then I *am* going to be helping develop PBW2... not to mention (not to toot my own horn or anything)being one of the "in-crowd" who will probably get a beta slot anyway... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 
This isn't technically correct Slynky. Once you reach the 2000 limit on Paypal you have to become "verified". Being verified doesn't change the fee schedule at all, but it does require that you give Paypal more personal information about yourself and demonstrate that you have a checking account. I can understand people being hesitant to giving out their personal financial information. Heck, I won't even post my mail address. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif All I will say is that in my experience through PBW and with my personal account I've had no bad experiences with Paypal.

We no longer have the PO Box. It wasn't pulling in enough donations to be worth the cost and hassle.

Mac, I don't have a problem with you giving me your money at Origins. I will get it to Tesco.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">The first round will be four games right? As long as we all agree to abstain from any admin type stuff for games we are personally involved in it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 
well sj and i are not playing. so you have your two admins... And we payed our 20 dollars even http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Ed.... No contest rule like that here. Only suggestion I have is that if some one knows that they are going to beta test... well they toss their prize of the game or beta test slot back into the pile for someone else... and then claim one of the other prizes...

P.S. 'in-crowd' i am not... I get to register for a beta test slot like everyone else when it opens.... 0 for 2 so far on that... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif and i forfit my chance in the tournament to gain a beta slot. Small price to pay to thank Aaron , PBW and the community for the years of enjoyment and friendship.
So I helped out in other ways.... As one can always treat it as it is, an opportunity. Hey I like the game. This time I did not get to test it and help make the game evolve offically. But I can do it with suggestions, and when the game comes out.... Bug people over and over again with my ideas.... \HINT --- SORTABLE REPORTS with includes and excludes ... /Hint

Thats the way I do it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

oooooo. This sounds like fun! Too bad my schedule doesn't allow me into any 48 hour games. For those of us who can't get into a game but want to be spectattors, will there be some sort of venue for us? Perhaps Sticky Posts on this forum with turn updates and reports once things get going? Obviously no one would want sensitive info posted:

(Turn update: Primitive prepares to enter Geo's space with a fleet of 23 destroyers. Geo's 3 colonies in the system look to get glassed)

but some sort of progress, like scoring and player logs of some sort?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Tesco, I'm surprised... Although you weren't part of the in-crowd when Starfury was in beta, I'd expect you to be by now, especially now that you're taking the reins of PBW from Geo! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Me, I was just some kid helping people out... heck, I might even not be part of the in-crowd anymore for all I know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">

Count me in. Whatever the outcome, this should be fun.

Tesco,
Are these settings locked in stone? I ask because I want to toy around with empire design against some TDM AIs (and get slaughtered no doubt).

A big barbarian whacks at the stone with a sledgehammer http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

High tech cost, 1 planet start and a lot of players will make most of these games veeery long. Minimum 100 turns, but my guess is more like 150.

Fun settings, but SE V will probably be at the second patch before this tournament is over http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Hate to admit it, but I agree with the big P. But if the settings are set in stone, so be it. I'll throw in my hat anyway and see how it goes. (if we wind up beside each other, P, then we'll just have to work together!)

Send me some info, Tesco, on how to get a check for entry.

I guess it depends on what the turn frequency is. If Tesco sets it to 24hrs and is strict on that the game will go fairly quick.

Re: PBW RACE TO SEV TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS
 
Well, currently, T/A time is listed at 48 hrs. It nothing is changing in the settings...then 48 hrs it will be. 24, IMO, would be pushing it anyway. If time were to change, I think 36 might be better.

I looked at the rules three times and couldn't find the turn time limit listed. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif


All times are GMT -4. The time now is 01:49 AM.
