Mega-Dueling Tournament - Rules, Settings, Check List, and Sign Ups

[Ink]

I think the mage that summoned has fled (I havn't seen him in a while) and now it is dissolving.

This thread has lost momentum, or maybe I got less enthusiastic seeing as it seems to be going nowhere. Add to that my dislike of the nation selection scheme and my 2/3 MP games that by now are progressed enough to require a significant chunk of my free time and, well, I think I'll just bow out of this one.

GL all, foremost in getting this thing going

We can do it ourselves. For instance, I challenge to a duel match Raiel (the player I was originally matched with). Let's PM to agree on nations. After the duel, the winner will pick another winner to duel in the 2nd round.

(2nd-round matches will involve players choosing between their nation and the one they defeated; even if the 2nd-round opponents have the same 2 nations, they can agree amongst themselves which one gets which. So this version doesn't even require complex nation-selecting)

[chrispedersen]

I sort of second that suggestion.... we can have someone step up and take over the thread. Just copy the first post to a nother thread, and then update it for additions changes deletions...

I am going to be very busy over the next couple of months, so I will withdraw from this game before it starts for real.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Finally got my internet up and running. Sign me up.

What I propose is this:

1: New Thread, everyone interested posts their names
2: Each pairing chooses nations amongst themselves, with no reference to any other pairing
3: In the 2nd round, each pairing again chooses nations amongst themselves. They may choose between the 4 nations that took part in their respective 1st-round battles, and may choose in any way they can agree upon
4: In subsequent rounds, the same thing happens
5: Seeding is determined randomly. If no one else wants to, I will establish the initial pairings using a random method. To keep things moving, 2nd-round pairings should be assigned in order of game completion (so the winners of the first 2 games to finish face each other, and so on)
6: In the event of not getting 32 or 64 players, 2nd-round byes will be awarded for especially-impressive victories. Criteria would include speed of victory and use of weak nations (if you can take out Niefelheim with Bandar Log, say, you deserve a free pass to the 3rd round).

Or we can do something else entirely, or wait for Areaofeffect to return. Just throwing this out there.

[chrispedersen]

Belac - I propose you do something like the following:

Set your thread up. copy all thepeople over.
Give a firm date 3-4 days - to give Area of Effect time to take his thread back over. Otherwise give people 3-4 days to report their first results in.

.02 of course. The thread is going to die anyway in a couple more days if people don't see action on it.

I'd play

I have other commitments so I'll have to withdraw. GL all.
