And on that note, go read the "Spotlight: Vos" thread.

Just remember that, when it comes to tournies, it's not just about making up the numbers, it is better to wait for a mission your guys are high in than to flin them in the first mission that counts.

stop giving secrets away looks like I'll have to play more.

[Archanubis]

I'll see what the Dragoons can do when work, school, and finally getting to my own personal projects allow.

[Redimus]

Ok, I've made my decission on the kills part of the tournie. Whilst it'd all beautiful and wonderful to just count all the kills that happen in the valid missions, I cant see it beign practical.

SO:

All tournie mission kills will need to be claimed in the same way as in a alt hunt (ie killer, victim, time of kill, mission link).

A claims thread will be set up on Saterday just before the tournie.

I'm assuming you're talking individual kills? I can see how that'd be a bugger to track by your lonesome, but surely a running total for Faction kills would be an easy thing to keep track of...
Come to think of it, as long as I can manage to get a high speed internet connection I could probably track all the Predacon (and maybe the Maxi's) Commanders individual kills pretty easily.

[Redimus]

Individual commander's kills (ie Redimus has 20, Sustain 19, Bun-Bun 2 ( )).

I wasnt intending to track the faction's kills, but if you want to, I'm quite happy to let you, it'll make for some interesting data (although as it is only realy a 2 faction war (Good vs Evil) Im not sure what useful info could be gotten from knowing the Pred's number of kills and the Con's, we already know the Preds will get less, becuase there simply is less of you).

“Damn it, Dread, get down!”

A barrage of small arms fire ricocheted over Jesus Prime’s head as he ducked behind the remnants of a memorial statue. He could see Dreadspawn a few dozen yards away, having been separated from him in the fray. His companion had taken up his megapulse cannon, and was firing wildly with the unwieldy weapon, raking the horizon in the hopes of hitting something. The two had been ambushed whilst picking their way towards the centre of the shattered city, half a dozen Autobots working in concert to pin them down in their current positions.

“Prime! Keep your head down!”

With that, Dreadspawn leapt up, transforming into a VTOL jet fighter, and took off towards the source of the shooting that was suppressing them. Prime took the opportunity to reload his pistol, and made sure his chitinous bonesword was loose in its scabbard, ready to be drawn in a hurry. A barrage of machine gun fire and the sound of carpet bombing vindicated his decision, as Dreadspawn blanketed the ruins sheltering their attackers. Circling for a while, he returned to Prime once he was satisfied they had gone to ground.

“You hurt?”
“Just a scratch. We charging?”
“Not just yet. Your shoulder, let me see it.”
“Sod that, we’re taking these bastards now.”
“Not with a wound like that, Dread. You go down, you slow us both down.”

Amid a storm of cursing from his partner, Prime adjusted a dial on his laser pistol and affected a brief weld on Dreadspawn’s wound. Flexing his shoulder, Dreadspawn nodded approval and readied his cannon once again. Prime readjusted his pistol, and nodded back to Dreadspawn, who gestured in the directed they should charge. The pair waited for a beat, then leapt from either side of their shelter, the momentum of their charge toppling the gilded statue of Tertius as they sprinted towards their enemies’ position, hugging what little cover they could find. Dreadspawn was firing wildly ahead of him, forcing the Autobots to dig in behind their positions. As they neared their foes, Dreadspawn dropped the cannon and took off again, preparing for another strafing run. Prime rolled forwards, transforming as he went, not losing a second’s pace as his alternate mode slammed forcibly into the first obstacle that presented itself – an unfortunate Autobot who had had assumed the lack of firing had meant Dreadspawn had gone down. Turning swiftly, Prime ignored the stunned Autobot as it collapsed in the rubble, turning his attention to the five others who were swarming towards him.

“Prime! Head down!”

Dreadspawn’s warning was in vain, however, as he had no time to begin his barrage before several figures leapt from behind Prime’s position, firing on the surprised Autobots. In the ensuing confusion, Dreadspawn began to circle, not sure of when to fire. Prime drew back from the fighting, signalling to his airborne comrade to retreat. He could see now that the surprise attack had come from a group of Decepticons, including several wearing RDD insignia. Evidently, Dynamax had sent a squadron to support their advance. Prime turned sharply, and resumed his earlier course, enjoying the cacophony of death and slaughter behind him. Dreadspawn lowered his altitude, keeping himself scant yards above his partner.

“Just what I was thinking, Prime!”
“We’d best get out and leave them to it. There’s no time to lose.”
“South?”
“South.”

Individual commander's kills (ie Redimus has 20, Sustain 19, Bun-Bun 2 ( )).

I'll do the total faction kills (already wrote the excel sheet to track it) might be useful for something... perhaps gauging participation levels (Claimed Kills / Total Kills = % participation)
*shrugs
Ok so maybe only stat nerds will care.
I also wrote a sheet so I can try to keep track of all kills done by Predacons and Maximals by commander but...
Assuming I can manage to track them all, I don't think my data should count as claims since that'd give us beasties a 100% participation advantage...
Then again maybe it should count, we need all the help we can get

[Redimus]

It's very tempting to ask for a copy of you individual tracking sheet for the none beast factions, but I think the 'making people go to the forums' argument is as valid as ever.

I'll be interested to see the data, if only to mock the autoboobs with it!

[Malicron]

So, just to clarify, scores and claims will be handled as in a scalp hunt?

[Redimus]

Faction scores: no
Individual commander's kills: yes

Partly becuase it makes it easier on me/makes it a one man job, partly becuase it encourages people to use the forum more.

[Daneki]

Because it needs to be said...
Good writing JP ^_^

[Jeep?]

Yey! Thank you.

[Daneki]

Can I have that whiskey you promised me for saying that now?

[Jeep?]

Shhh! Later!

[Daneki]

What happens later?

[Jeep?]

Not sure yet, depends how drunk I am.

[Redimus]

Oh crap.

[City Commander]

Oh crap.

What? Did you realise you'd spelt Saturday wrong twice in your sig?

Drunk
On these forums.

It never ends well.

[Chaoslock]

Errr.... Will this tournie start in 1.5 hours or just in about 25.5 hours?

[Daneki]

The latter.
