I could participate ...
Sounds good idea :2thumbsup:
I'm in, what a cracking idea.
Good to see some renewed interest in this. Keep pushing it and hopefully we'll get enough people. Keep in mind that we really need dependable long-term people for this, though, as it could take many months to finish. It would be annoying to have a semi-final match decided by forfeit. People should not sign up if they are not committed over the long-term.
Just in case anyone cares, I'm still available for duels. Those I've been duelling with have either all suddenly come down with the flu, or I dunno perhaps they have real life issues that are taking up their time... or maybe they have what I hear is called a "life"...
:clown:
...but the point is I'm super available to take on the entire world. If you would like to try out a quick duel, it would be my pleasure todestroy you
show you the ropes
teach you a lesson
give you a nice, friendly game.
In
my recomendation for quick matchs
LTC's custom campaigns (all factions start off relativly evenly, and there arn't that many)
autoresolve battles
and try and match players based on location, so they could play a few turns per day.
with a max turn limit of course (winner is then one who has highest rating)
oh, and I'll be up for passing on my e-mail to anyone I play so we can move this along faster, so long as nobody passes it on to spammers and the like.
I'd participate!
And I will insist on using Lord of the Rings mods!
So... now there are 12.
But there can only be one Highlander.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
12 is workable. 16 would be better. Go out and recruit!
Oh believe me I am trying.
I've gotten a lot of "I'm too busy"s though. And maybe I'm a bad spokesman for this because.... well... I've also gotten a lot of "Nah, you'll beat me"s.
Maybe someone less bloodthirsty? I'm hopefully not the only one who's going to be playing these duels. Lets have the other participants snag some people.
:yes:
I'll shoot a mass PM to some reliable hotseat players at TWC, some of them will probably join :yes:

Oh yeah so I did :embarassed:
Elite Ferret gets two command stars for his recruiting ability.
Does he get the forgetful trait as well. :bounce:
And you both get the "abandons duels" trait. :no:

sooooo what's happening? I don't think we're gonna get any more players just letting this thread fall backwards down the page...maybe I should try and get more command stars...
How about asking Tosa to put up a link in an announcement now that Mafia VIII has started?
I've tried. I announced at TW center, and no one ever replied.
I feel that because I am personally duelling 90% of the people who have already joined, and that I've started spam-lite threads all over the place requesting players, and having bothered everyone I know (including Zim, TinCow, Tristan de Castelreng...) regarding duels, I've done all I can.
I don't exactly have a large networking circle. It's the BC crew or bust, basically, plus Monk. So those of you with uh... "friends" might want to keep at it!
:wink:
:Cheering:
Go EF, go EF, go EF.... recruit, recruit, recruit!
:cheerleader:
And that is the last time I wear a pink bow and shake my pom-poms for you. Five is enough.
Well, there is a decent group of core players. We could run it with just this number if you want.
If we are going to have a league type set up then players can be added as we go along if interest increases. Has the method of playing been fully sorted out yet? Ie: ladder, league, knock out or what?
Nope, and it doesn't matter to me. I'm just helping organize this, so I think it's up to you guys. If you want a league, we can do a league. If you want an elimination bracket, we can do an elimination bracket.
There are currently 14 people signed up, not counting cassu, who should probably be excluded because he can't play during the summer. For a league format, we could do two groups of 7 or 4 groups with 4, 4, 3, and 3 respectively. The winners of the groups would then play each other in an elimination format. If the groups of 7 are chosen, I would recommend not having everyone play everyone else, as that's an absurdly large number of games. 3-4 per player would be my recommendation.
We still have less than 16, correct? Basically 14 players.
Here's my proposal.
We begin a 14 player tournament, with all the players here qualifying, and if Cassu wants to join he can be seeded. Forgive my awful artwork.
One player has a Bye round which can be substituted for a round against Cassu who may or may not be playing. Don't know if he's available in the short or long term.
Here's the idea:

It's a four round elimination tournament with 14 players, possibly a 15th to eliminate the Bye round.
We could do a double-elimination tournament, if you're interested. Same setup, except those who are eliminated will have their own tournament and the winner will face the undefeated champion.
I'd be happy with the small groupings followed by elimination, so long as I'm not with ATPG :clown:
