I cant remember why, but I didnt really partake in the warmachine thing. Wasnt it one thing at a time though?

(Dont get me wrong, I obviously expect more than one thing to be running at a time in this, it's become standard to have a main tournie and a mini game runing symaltainiously, but not much more than that in one go.)

Just a couple thoughts if we ran this for two weeks we could break this up into a big send off. Say week one we have three two day tournies,hunts what ever Each one has a point spread say like 50 then a week for JP and Red to run a tounie.

So we have a 100 points total, I think we could use Tam's scoring system for individual factions to grade overall preformance other then just a single event win.

Also the first week could be tied in to the main story of the final weeks event.

Basically, how I see this is as a large umbrella term under which we can set several events and tournaments. Without revealing too much, I can say that the main thrust of it will be very similar to the G2 comics stories, with all-out war, a faction that's everyone's enemy, and a Big Evil that rivals even Liege Maximo and/or The Swarm.
Over a three week period, we could tie any number of events into this, having them run into each other perhaps - if there are point awarded to the top 3 places for each individual event a final tally oculd announce the best player of the tournament, as well as the winning faction overall. I would only be wanting to run the event which is directly related to the story (and I'll probably need as much help as I can get), but anything else is free game for everyone to do what they want.

Is it too late to add an old-style Scavenger Hunt to it too?

I wouldn't count on a lot of autobot participation if they run from Pred missions because of Merc/Loki challenging a much higher autobot frightens them, imagine what a tournament would do. They'd need their brown pants.

What about incorporating a Bot/Con and Max/Pred as initial tourneys? The Max/Pred has some good backing, and in terms of storyline I could imagine the Bot/Con leading up to their shutdown, the Max/Pred leading to the re-awakening following the comet, and for logistics we run them simultaneously.

Once done a 4-way can occur with the supporting events (hunts, rivalries, etc.) to build to the "Common Evil" as the final blowout. It's like you've all been saying but incorporating another tourney thread which has been discussed previously for the ~Jan/Feb timeframe.

Thinking about the above - it's almost telling the whole history of V1... Bot vs. Con, Beast vs. Beast, 4-way insanity, 'It's Godzilla, let's fight together!!', *BOOM*

edit: I also volunteer to help write / storyboard / build outlines. To be blunt, establishing and managing the framework of stories that would be involved would likely be a strong suit and I could also contribute as needed.

How about this as a format:

0) we drop a huge hint about the final battle.
1) A warm-up hunt, plenty of options to choose from...
2) The real war, 4 factions vs 4 factions.
3) Endgame, The hidden threat reveals itself and the cybertronians have to fight not only to save thier faction, but also to save their planet...

Kaiju's idea balances the canon aspect of the game really nicely and will definately build up interest, Red and Jeep's story will also work very well alongside it.

As Jeep (and Red) have proven themselves in the past, they will be taking the last part of this epic, but do we have any bot volounteers to write their factions side of the final story if we give them a loose breif?

Is there any reason we cant have parts 2 and 3 running symaltainiously? Even if they are scored by seperate people? A 2 week epic tournie with everybody against everybody, I cant see a better sendoff.

That's pretty much exactly how id expect it to go down.
