Well, for the first time in what seems like at least a year, I have a 2 week holiday with no plans. So Im gonna do what I always used to do. Run a tournie.
Here's what is pretty much set in stone(ish):
-Tournie will run from sometime Sunday evening on the 28th Feb until Sunday evening on the 14th March (all times GMT).
-There will be the main tournament, the normal Autobots vs Decepticons, battle for domination, winner is the faction with the most wins (using the normal tournament rules).
-Hopefully the tournament missions Mkall unearthed will be used, to help identification of tournie missions, although it looks like the scoring will remain manual (when last I spoke to Mkall, he was unable to find/fix the code that produces the scoring page). If these cannot be used, it will follow the age old system of every mission # ending in a '0' and a '5'.
-There will also be side games. Bare minimum of the pretty standard top killer league table, perhaps with prizes for both faction's top killers (with the overall top commander getting a slightly better prize if I can organise it). This will only be open to commanders who signed up for it before the start of the tournament, and will count *all* kills made in tournament missions.
-I have also been toying with some form of scalp hunt style minigame, but as yet, am not sure how that will work, any ideas more than welcome.
What I need help with:
-Story, I really have no idea what this should be about, it dosnt need to be as heavy and in-depth as my previous tournies, but it would be nice to have some kind of setting at the very least.
-The second minigame, as Ive already said, I fancy including some form of scalphunt to the tournament. The targets could be other competing commanders or alts that relate to the overall story. Must make sense within the basic story of the Tournie.
-Prizes, with Mkall beign in charge at the moment, it should prove pretty easy to inpliment some prizes (prize alts and money almost certainly, bonus alts for an entire faction certainly, possibly xp, but I'd have to ask him before I could say for sure). Id like to have some alts (5 or 6) that can be awarded to the victorious faction (relevant to the story please), and some sort of prizes for the minigame(s).
Also, of course, helpers to count various bits and bobs are always welcome (although I hope to do a lot of it myself).
So there we go.
