The Energon Pub

by **_Anshin_** » Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:29 pm

Guys I want to start a new contest. It can be one of two contests. A 250k energon contest which can be open to all or a much larger pot that will be open to only those that buy in. Who would like to get into a contest?

I will give this a week before I post the contest rules and rewards. If anyone feels like donating to this please let me know.

I can donate.

by **_Anshin_** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 8:39 am

Is there a particular format that you prefer?

The reason that I ask because I have actually designed several games up (treasure hunts, round robins, etc.). So with the buy-in you will find it a fast and furious pace, but will be locked down to people that have signed up.

For the open free-for all it will be a bit longer and more elaborate because I want to be fair to those that may not have the time to play frequently but still would like to participate

When I ran competitions of any kind, I preferred pre-registration, this is mostly just a personal preference though.
I'm quite happy to help with your planning if you want any tips or ideas, just drop me a PM. Doubt I'd be able to help run it though, don't really have the time any more.

Thanks. I will let you know via PM if I require any assistance. Once I have a vote, I will probably go ahead and let you know know what the rules are for the contest. if you see something that is horribly wrong or can be approved I will be glad to listen to your suggestions.

As always, thanks.

Well if we get a good contest going I may ask that if you are still willing to help and that if the winner of the contest is a con then you could donate that side to them (unless you win).

Thanks for the support

Being unable to donate to either side can be a pain for games. *nods* I'm up for a game. I've run several tournaments, hunts, and other games. Been a while since we had one though.

Funny you should say that, as one of the mods capable of handing them out im more than willing to award them as long as the competition is both fun and fair.

Anshin, I am loving your enthusiasm. Can you drop me a PM with the ideas you have. Please copy Sustain in as well if you can - let's see if we can make a bit more noise around here eh?

by **_Anshin_** » Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:45 am

I will drop you a PM after work today.

by **_Anshin_** » Fri Mar 11, 2011 7:52 am

Just reminding you all that this Sunday I will be posting rules and such for the contest. The more people you have in this contest the better it will be for you so spread the word if you can

by **Delta_Magnus** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 6:55 pm

I can keep track of your team for you if you would like. I am already keeping my eye on you to learn as it is. I can just make a note and post it if you want. I am not playing my team in this contest so that people don't think I am trying to cheat them or anything.

if you're willing to keep track for me, please do. I just can't do it myself do to my current limitations

NV I will have to start this tonight. I left my data drive at home, so building a new game sheet for you at work would only leave it on my computer at home. Once I have a sheet for you I can fill out the tracking pretty quickly.

I was wondering if you were still doin this for me. I'm hopin to win at least 1 alt mode.

Son of a.... dude I let you down.
I captured you for two days and then I started working on other projects and sort of forgot about you. I'm sorry.
I will pick up where I left off and start capturing your battles. I am pretty sure you won the tournament from just protecting Burn and killing me first for the past week. :lol:
