Europa Barbarorum Online Tournament 2010 August
Point System
A very straightforward point system will be used. For each win, you gain one point. For each loss, you lose one point. The same applies to team games. Remember: Team games must be even-sided (2v2, 3v3, or 4v4). Each member of the winning team gains one point. Each member of the losing team loses one point.
There are two sets of points. Each player has his own point count. The second point count is the factional point count. Each faction has a number of wins and a number of losses equivalent to the total wins and losses of all players using that faction during that tourney month. Points only are counted for every month. There are no rollover points.
Signing Up
Threads like these must be set up one or two weeks prior to the beginning of the tourney. Let this be an example. To sign up for the tourney, reply to this post with your faction of choice. And I mean your final choice of faction. No changes will be allowed mid-way through the tourney. Once it begins, you're set. The only option you will have is to opt-out of the tourney (that is also final; no opt-out and then resume; if you have to have a week off, that's fine, but don't "fold your cards" unless you're completely sure).
Note: On Hamachi and in-game you must use the same name you use on The Guild. This is to avoid confusion. If you have a really long name, like "Hannibal Khan the Great", and you choose to use usernames like Hannibal Khan, that's fine. A shortened version of a long name is fine as long as it is recognizable.
Replays
You must upload and submit replays by posting links to the replays here in the form of a reply. Remember to state who you played against and who the winner was. Only winners are allowed to post replays so as to avoid duplicates. Thank you.
Jury
Every month, the tourney will have not only participating players but also jury members. Jury members cannot double as players in the same month, and players cannot double as jury members in the same month. The Jury is a board of a maximum of 9 members that adjudicate cases of conflict and protest. The minimum size of the Jury is 3 because it takes the agreement of 3 Jury members to come to a final verdict on who the winner was in special cases and whether cheating took place in protests for disqualification (DQ, wherein the game is not counted toward gain or loss). Three cases of cheating and the player is removed from that month's tourney, and his score contribution removed from the factional score as well. To be a Jury member you must state below that you wish to be so. Remember: This means you will not participate as a player and will solely make yourself available to review replays for cases of protest and conflict. There presumably won't be too many of these, so it shouldn't be much of a problem! All Jury members are respected and admired for their sacrifice. Thank you all.
And that's about it. If you want more of the nitty-gritty details, such as rules, what to do, what not to do, what to expect, etc., visit the website (it's a must-read for even the oldies). Find it at www.ebonline.tk (http://www.ebonline.tk/). Use the contact button (links to our email: contact@ebonline.tk) for any concerns, questions or suggestions.

I am leaving and will return in the second week of August. Whoever wishes to participate in this tournament of 2010 August must post with their final faction of choice. They should also submit a post with link every time they play a tourney battle. Don't try to upload July games for this tourney. Don't underestimate me. Because I'll be gone, you won't see any scores or spreadsheets until the second week, at which point you'll see what you normally expect from me. Thanks y'all and submit conflicts as usual. Also reply if you'll be a Jury member. I'll read all your posts when I come back.

IIRC
You are banned from the tournament until further notice (as i said IIRC, i cannot confirm such things, only vartan can)
If you do enter, all the other tourney members would like you to show some composture, instead of what you did last time
If you are in, Welcome to the August EBOT

Yes. His complete disregard for the rules and attempt to avoid his punishment should earn him that.
Edit: also, if it isn't too late, I'd like to change my fction to the Arverni.

Cheers to that :p

It's on the house! Honestly, the only practical condition I'll put on the table, yeah, is this: you change your faction, yeah, just as long as you haven't submitted games in that same month with another faction. Get it? Cause honestly I'd either have to tell you to bugger off and/or that I'd discount (or "not count" ?) all them previous battles with that other faction. And I don't want that hassle. Have a good one y'all.
Does No one want to start the tourney? 3rd of August and no game until now... ;-)

Am I just being unlucky, or are players never online?
Which time are you online?
The Celtic Viking
08-08-2010, 14:36
It's different from time to time, but it's usually either around 12:00, or 17-20:00. GMT +2, I think, with the DST.
It's not so different to times i can be there sometimes, I'm back at home in a few days and we should see each other in the network then.

We really really need those damn factional units , army comp rules and the adress of the EB MP hamachi network posted somewhere otherwise new blood won't join us. (speaking about the Ebonline site being down)

Use this:

For now. Its the faction recruiter lists. Note that we combined both the EB website lists and these lists together for the list of factionals so some things may be missing.
As for army comp. It was like:
Not Steppe
5 Cav - 3 Heavy Cav
8 max Phalanx
Max 5 archers
Max 5 Mercs
Steppe
8 Archers
12 Cav
4 Heavy Cav
Max 6 Phalanx
Max 10 Infantry

Victory against Rome but the attitude on Ycarus isn't what i would like to bear a second time. Nice game though against cheesy guard mode prima cohorts spam Rome.

Hey does "phalanx" include hoplites as well? If so, a lot of people I've played with have been violating the rules... and I was pretty sure the limit for steepe was 4.
Burebista
08-12-2010, 21:52
No , hoplites are not included. And yes , i remember that the limit was 4 for steppe.
SlickNicaG69
08-13-2010, 18:05
Wait, aren't hoplites also a phalanx?
antisocialmunky
08-14-2010, 01:26
No. Also you are still banned 3x.

Thanks for posting the relevant info from the site. I still have the whole site and as I just got back I'll contact the webhost. Don't know why they flaked out on us since we were getting exponentially increasing hits on the site...I'll get back to you guys on that once it's fixed. Many apologies for the inconvenience.

Phalanx refers to the Macedonian Phalanx in EB Online Terminology (it was on the site; hopefully be back online ASAP). What did you think about the recent meteor shower? Never seen something so beautiful.
EDIT: Site is up. Thanks to Muzzius (his name on Hamachi) for pointing out the bad link for EB MP EDU installer. Fixed.
I'll go outside my comfort zone for once and play as the Sauromatae Hayasdan. I do not expect much success. :rolleyes:
Can't believe you of all people could say such a thing. Pity. Good luck anyway. (:laugh4: np, you're alright).
EDIT: Sorry for two consecutive posts. Didn't see that as I was replying to a first-page post. And the OP is updated now.

I think I'm out, August is already winding down and I just got Victoria II, which is sucking up all of my time right now...
Maybe sometime in the future, when I've moved past this addiction and come back to EB.

Sure, no problem. I wipe people's names off anyway at the end of the month if they haven't participated at all. OT: What's Victoria II?
SlickNicaG69
08-25-2010, 11:57
What's Victoria II?
Yea man why are you wasting your time with Victoria II? The "knowledgable" aspects of it are all great, but how can you devote your time to such a game when at the moment of conquest, it all depends on Atari-based renditions and superfluous computations? Send that baby back to Gamestop A.S.A.P. and meet us up @ the tourney man! Either that, or trade it in for Starcraft 2 and see me on the net!

It's a Paradox game, like Europa Universalis or Hearts of Iron, except set in the Victorian era (1836-1936). It's real time grand strategy, but no battle mode like total war. However in terms of economics, politics, diplomacy, etc, it's a lot of fun.

To be honest, I didn't think I would like it that much either, but I'm addicted. I don't really miss the battles because the other aspects of the game are so in depth that if I had to play the battles out, the game would take forever. I'll always come back to Total War though, I always have before.
Personally, I'm not a Starcraft fan. I liked the Warcraft rts series, but I'm just not enough of a sci-fi person for Starcraft, and to be honest, I don't really like traditional rts games that much anymore.

It sounds like Europa Universalis. I wanted to enjoy that game but it was so complicated and hard to figure out. I presume the team who made it didn't have somebody to make sure the game was gamer-friendly.

I was also formerly a major RTS fan, but ever since Total War, Real Time Tactics has been much more enjoyable and conductive to twists and turns than RTS. There virtually always seems to be patterns discernible in RTS titles, while the RTT titles easily turn out differently each battle due to varying patterns of approach (at least vis-à-vis multiplayer).
EDIT: The OT talk such as this in this thread is not a problem at the moment, luckily enough, solely due to the fact that it is almost the end of the month and network member turnout has been at an all time low (http://youtu.be/V0LV_bETEzs).

He plays as the Arverni, just like you, so even if you wanted to play a tourney game, you couldn't. The game doesn't let opposite teams share the same faction.

Yeah, exactly
Tournament is over and final scores and replay archive packages are ready.
