I've split AZ's ideas off, but I've added them to here.

Someone had previously asked about schedualling...

My thought on this is we should have a event once a month. But never the samething on consecutive months. There are currently three major ones that I'm aware of. Scalp Hunt, Scavenger Hunt, and Tournies.

If we spread them out, then people wont get tired of them, but if we run something once a month, there's always a event coming to get built up for.

i think once a month might be too often especially as some tournies have run multiple weeks.

True... Didn't think of that... 4ish weeks between them minumum then? Maybe try to keep it a little random with a roughly a month in between, rather then starting at a predictible exact space between the two.

[color=red]There is no point settign any form of schedualed calender for gaes and tournies. Nor is there anypoint settign rules for times between them.

the reasons:

1: 99% of the people who run these are not only volenteers, but arnt even staff on these forums. It is not fair to impose on them to run things.

2: The timings of games/tournies is often reliant on when the runner happens ot have the idea, or happens to have tiem to run it (I for one run most of my things when Im on holiday). It is unfair for them to have to wait an amount of time just cuase someone else ran one recently when they can only really run it when they can run it.

All we need is the return of the tournie/game calender thread, so people can make sure they dont overlap eachother, and we'll be fine.

I have an idea for a tourney i'd like to run, so as to sort of get my feet wet i guess. But i didn't know if i should post it in this thread or it's own thread. But i'm wanting to get it done (if folks like the sound of it and would be interested in joining in) before the whole 'End-of-HMW1' comes about. I'm thinking it should only take maybe a week and half to complete or so. There's no real storyline or anything for it, its just a bracket/playoff style tourney.

The more the merrier.

What you got in mind?

The idea is as follows. (Note: this is pretty much a rough draft, and all input and advice from vets are welcome and appreciated)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Survival Of The Sickest

--Playoff styled brackets. Sign up is voluntary and for anyone who wants to join in, no minimum requirements. Matchups for first round to be determined by lottery like drawing, and teams will be given seeds. 'Playoffs' will play out in the style of NHL Playoffs, where in the next round the higher seed plays the lower seed( example::

round 1
team 1 vs team 8
team 2 vs team 7
team 3 vs team 6
team 4 vs team 5

round 2
team 1 vs team 6
team 2 vs team 4


--"Best-of-7" Participants will select and post 4 qualifying missions(listed below). With the team first to 4 "wins" moves on into the playoffs.

Missions must:
-Must be against playoff opponent's faction
-Must have atleast 2 people per faction
-Must survive the mission


Qualifying missions that equal/determine a "winning game" in the series:

Each "win" may only be claimed once, and can be claimed by both teams. Mission's claiming a "win" may only claim one "win"

-Stasis lock two enemies.
-Perform 5 avoids.
-Stasis lock an opponent a level higher than yourself.
-Stasis lock a namesake.
-Stasis lock a canon name.
-Outnumbered by atleast 2.
-Outleveled (opposing faction must have a bot a level higher than your faction's highest level bot, example: your faction's highest is 1, opposing faction's highest is 2).
-Accumulate 900+ Xp in one mission.
-Be the last bot standing.
-Ram 3 enemies into stasis lock.
-Strafe 3 enemies into stasis lock.

Wow I really did miss a lot,

Right then if anyone wants to see what the old scavenger hunt used to look like let me know. I've updated a new one, of sorts due to some things being attainable lack of levels or alts and what not.

Why not make a n00b tournament? Only level 0 characters could attend.
