There was some talk in the barracks forum about organizing a touney for STW in an attempt to revive interest and get more people playing. However, before anything is begun to be organized we need some idea of how many people would be interested. If you are interested post in this topic.
A tourney would be a good idea it should get more peeps playing.
I'd be interested.

Running round in circles IS better, B!
Please include me,I am always willing to participate in anything to promote the game.
I hope this will be based on the most excellent 1.03 stats too?Its a good chance to promote that too hmm
I will do my best to direct fellow diehards here over the weekend to post their interest too.

Konnichiwa,
If it's friendly and played in week-end GMT day/evening, then I would participate.

Yes definatly count me in. 103 is prefered as well.
If possible we should also specify certain maps as playing fields.
Would it be 1v1's or what sort of format?
Once more unto the breach dear friends, let us fill it up with our English dead.
Konnichiwa all...
1) we've got to generate more interest in this if it's going to fly... any suggestions?
2) 103 seems to be running out in front as the preferred stat, but i have to admit, we'll probably exclude some people if this is the only stat used... if there were enough people, it would be cool to have a category each for 102 and 103... if there is to be only one stat, however, we'll probably get the biggest response with 102 (not to retract from my earlier post, but trying to be "realistic", heh, heh)
3) Celtlan made a good suggestion for the maps... there should probably be some standard set here, with fairness for all the top consideration... Ironing Board is probably the fairest of all, but how boring Totomi and quite a few custom maps come to mind... (BTW, good to see you back, Celtlan)
4) 1v1 format?... i'm sure that will be there, but i think it would be cool if we had enough interest to also have 2v2's battle for "best team" bragging rights... something to consider?
5) are we talking about a single elimination tourney here? or some other format, like a "losers' bracket" for example?
just some things to consider... i hope this gets off to a big start; please LMK if there's anything i can do to help get the ball rolling...
sayonara,

As far as maps go its not too hard to download any map if those interested plan on playing. we could do a quick map zip and upload for those onto the org site so people dont have to d/l huge map packs. so any map I think would be ok as long as people bother to d/l them.
yes 102 and 103 should be included to widen the interest as there are some who cant play 103 (and those that wont he he).
several formats spring to mind. 1v1s of course, 2v2's.3v3 if there would be enough interest.
oh and ffa's woohoooooooooooooo
we could make it winner progresses to next round losers play off each other. or do it on a table format. 3 points win, 1 for draw. -5 for a drop out mid game. oh wait can you draw? lol
a weekend would be preferable or as long as we know whos interested we can arrange games via pm when the two partys are available for a table style match.
battles could be recorded and available for others to view.
If we want to sort out the details and decide what sounds best then we decide and set rules and then publise it to everyone we meet on server for a few weeks and then start it.
A weekend sat and/or sunday will be best i expect for most people certainly gets my vote.
If those interested do post please so numbers are known and your views can be taken into account in what you want.
I think its an excelent idea. Bravo Shinano for bringing it to our attension.
Once more unto the breach dear friends, let us fill it up with our English dead.
I'll tell everone online today, since it is sunday there should be plenty of people.
A tourney using 1.03 would get more people using 1.03, very important as there are still far to many people using 1.02.
Not everone has custom maps so it would be better to use another map. We can ask people to download a little statswapper but it is too much to ask them to download a 20 MB mappack if they have a slow connection.
Ironing board is a bit boring but it would be best because of its fairness, on any other map the defender has an advantage.
1v1 format would be best, it would be hard to get all 4 players there consistantly for a 2v2.
I was thinking it would be best to have a round of 16, round of 8, round of 4, round of 2 setup.
I'm in and i'll win no doubt about it.
Howl Guys,
I'll be there
Also some sort of rules need to sorted out ie 4 max etc, I know these are not applicable normally in 103 stats, but for a tourney would be good.
Also, the maps should be changed each round eg:
R1 Totomi
R2 IB
R3 Siebgahara etc
this will keep it exciting and a need to adapt tactics.
Tosa, yes this will be friendly games. I hope it will add new blood tp STW/MI as I still feel its still the better TW game.

Well everytime I go and check to see if anyone is on the lobby noone seems to be there. Monday, Tuesday and all week I spend 5 mins of my time checking to see if anyones in there and in an hour where all the 'oldies' have returned from work and have had their supper respectively.

Konnichiwa,
Great, I can ask some friends to join.
Any type of game is fine with me really: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, campaign or scenario, extra rules, no rules. Though I hope for something that makes use of more than just 1 map, season and even koku level.

7:00-10:00 GMT is the best time. I've been online at these times and get games every day. It just takes good timing and some patience. It would be a good idea to log into foyer then alt-tab and do any other stuff, browse the forum etc, while you wait. If you check back in periodically you'll find someone for sure.Originally Posted by [b
I'd enter but I need some practise. Celtlan you get my PM?

Only practice if you intend to win, I just intend to enjoy it. Would offer myself to help, but don't think I could spare the effort, sorry. I should be able to make most times though, evening GMT through to 3/4am GMT...

The kinda games i want are at the Shogun Academy at the battle review part. GoldFish made that. Looked like a really fun battle.

That makes 10 people...If someone could post this at the Aggony forum I'm sure we would get more, I've seen 6 of them online at the same time before.
I'm in.

Count me in peeps.......but time periods will be the thing that could kill this tourney
DarkLegend in the Entrance Hall is interested in participating.

That makes 14...I suggest we get 2 more and then start next weekend (saturday the 26th).
It seems to me that it would be best for one match to be played rather than best out of three, because of the time issue. Although perhaps when we get down to the final four we could make it best out of three. Also I think it would be good for the two people who lose in the round of 4 to play eachother for 3rd and 4th place. It might be too time consuming for that kind of thing in the rest of the rounds.
I see two difficulties:
1. Whoever is defender has an advantage. On ironing board and the like it is a small advantage but it can be significant.
2. Some people are not used to certain patches. Some people have very little practice wit 1.03, others have very little with 1.02.
To solve these two issues I would suggest the following rule:
Whoever is attacking gets to choose the patch.
This way the small disadvantage of attacking is counterbalanced by the advantage of getting to choose which patch.
For the maps, I would suggest Totomi for the first round, Seibagahara for the second round, and Ironing Board for the third round and final rounds.
Another thing that needs to be taken care of is the draw, who will play who. This could be done randomly by drawing names out of a hat but it would be better to do it like it is done in tennis, where the #1 player is on the opposite side from the #2 player etc. This would have to be done by someone who has played the other players and can make a rough estimate. Once this tourney is over we can use how far a person got before being eliminated to determine the draw.
I am interested, but unfortunately will be gone on the week in question. Perhaps another time

Saturday the 26th of July day after my birthday and Parents are visiting.... Oh well they can do my gardening while I play
My suggestion would be have the first person who signed up play the 16th, the second to play the 15th etc.
giving a play match of:
TBA16th v Shinano
Ithaskar Fearindel v TBA15th
Sjakihata Akechi v ShinGaiJin
Mori Zennousha v Dark Legend
TosaInu v NightRider
Skie Mirror Silvanoshei v Celtlan
Cheetah v Vegetabullz
Tenkisoratoti v Kansuke
How does that look to people?
Ill even flip coins for who attacks. heads its as it is tails its fliped round. First player listed is attacking.
Ok done that too.
if your oponent does not turn up then anyone else there whos not already listed can play in their stead.
Id suggest a flexible time frame when the two players to start sort out when they will both be there if some of the times are a little difficult.
Times for me GMT are 8am GMT till 12GMT then 3pmGMT till 7pmGMT.
If I need to be there in the time between what ive listed or later on I could mabey manage it. Just for Reference when arranging a time for us all to be there Im in the UK.
Look forward to seeing you all for some good fun
Once more unto the breach dear friends, let us fill it up with our English dead.
Just realised about hosting. Who cant host a game?
If two players cant host the others of us who can will have to host and watch if there is two people who cant host playing.
Its not a problem for me I dont mind doing it but it may slow down the games. Please indicate if you can or cant host and your availabilty for the 26th.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
I'm all for this tourney, however I strongly reccomend that the match should comprise attack and defend, if tied at 1-1 the highest kills (2 games combined) goes through to next round. I can also see advantages for the attacker so its 50/50.
