KOTF OOC Thread

[Ramses II CP]

Hmmm, I had been planning to have the tournament and first Council run at the same time, but I can delay the latter if people prefer. Maybe I can make a tavern type thread in addition to the upcoming tournament thread so people can interact IC...

I think the rules are in their final form. I had been planning on keeping the duel and tourney rules (which TheFlax and Econ are working on) separate from the main rules, mostly to avoid clutter and make them more flexible (i.e. Econ could change them quickly if major problems arise). Any thoughts?

Tavern thread! Maybe make it adjoining the tournament field? The rules seem final to me, I'm content that they balance the random factor with some accounting of skill, and if there are major bugs or imbalances a runthrough like this tournament should shake them out without anyone's life being on the line.

I have a suggestion in regards to the first round byes as well, I would suggest that we allow the 8 oldest characters a bye. We could go by rank as well, but at anywhere from 22-24 man tournaments we don't have enough ranked characters to take all the bye space. I suppose we could go by rank and then by age.

Alternately we could simply have the King declare who gets a bye and who doesn't by fiat.
