I figure if we get the ideas and rules ironed out the sooner the better :)

Perhaps the first question is... when will this take place?

There are more than a few plans in order and we want to (a) get them complete and (b) know what timeframes are in order for any tie-ins or for ideas.

However, as for grand-scale-endall-V1 ideas themselves... I'm still pondering.

No release date yet, but I figure we can at least start throwing ideas around.

General timeframe though is "Spring" (per the Facts thread). That means April at the earliest for HMW II rollout which means targeting March / April seems reasonable for a proper send off.

To all, what have been some of the best tournaments to date and how were they run? Anyone have old links to their threads lying around so we can dredge them up to review? (Assuming Ike didn't eat them...)

I think if it's a straight up battle, we'd have to use the Defection Wars II scoring system.

Or just one big ole bracket war. Or each faction has it's own tournament to pick a faction champ to send to the main tourney.

I kinda like the bracket/"playoff" idea for a tournament. A couple of each factions chosen and best fighters entering to represent their faction. Have maybe 4 people from each faction, a 16-man bracket, 2 or 3 that enter(from each faction) entering by winning a smaller faction ran tournament, then possibly the 4th(or 3rd&4th whichever way to go) entering via poll, voted on as like an 'all-star' for the faction.


I think a 2nd run of F.Echoes' recent tourney that would be a nice way too, the winning faction being a sort of undisputed champion of V1 of sorts

From what I understand, it's already been called Dibs on by Red... and was it Jeep or Veep.... I dunno. Can't always keep the eeps straight.

Myself and Jeep have a very interesting idea that we think would be a great end to HMW1, as well as a good end to the current arc of our own particular tournie canon.

We will post details of it as soon as we have thrashed out a bit more details (hopefully this evening).

Why stop with one?

Do a number of the different styles we've developed over the years. Hunts, Scalpings, Bracketing, all of which culminate in a week long traditional style tournament.
