Great idea, signed up, thanks.

12 hours boot is bit too low for me.

Hi,
Is it possible to get an invitation ?

Regards,
Ben

@Grzechooo: Me too, that's why it's not 12 hours.
@Ben the Beast: You were either already invited or you joined by now. Anyway, you should have been able to find it.

Are vacations going to be allowed? I'd like to join, but I'm going on a trip at the end of June, and I won't be on for a week at least.

I'm with some of the others. I work and some evenings I can't play so I need a boot of at least 2 days or I'm likely to be booted.

It says 12 hour boot in the tournament settings.... Is that final? Id like to see 1d12h, but at least 24h... Other than that, looks awesome!

I'm interested, sign me up.

@BearsBeetsBattlestarGalactica: It's going to be 1d12h or MAYBE 2d.

Are you the person sending invites cause i got one but I don't meet criteria :S
My boot rate is over 7%, but would I still be able to join the tourney???

so will there be vacations or no?

Yeah, invites trump the criteria.

And no vacations. Might seem harsh, but I could be a victim of this rule, myself.

It's summer. You have to allow vacations.

I ill quit and im sure many other will too iff you dont allow vacations.

I like the overall design of this tournament. Just a few comments:

not sure if time since playing warlight should count in the ranking. If a noob wins the tournament, he is certainly on his way to become a great player

The no vacation sounds reasonable, and I think people should try to take their turn at least once per day. However, sometimes you're just busy, you miss one day, then you sleep, go to work etc... and that makes 1d18h, so I think 2 day autoboot is a good compromise

This might be a bit too complicated, but I would like to see a bonus round. This would comprise a series of games against AI's, progressively more challenging, and you would get prizes for each victory (eg cards, or you could turn the defeated AIs into slaves) which would help you in the next round.

Map selection is also important, with a different map each round. Themes are nice. I hope others have good suggestions too, but my idea would be to start in Hurley's Castle, then choose a country, a continent (Europe maybe), go to Earth Large, and finish with a battle for the solar system.

Just a few ideas. I hope this catalyses conversation

|> "time since playing warlight [shouldn't] count in the ranking"

Agreed but I couldn't think up of another way to separate two equally ranked players. Feel free to suggest another one.

|> Boot times.

I don't mind 2d (it's what I normally use), but with the summer season approaching I kind of wanted this one to wrap up a little faster than usual.

|> Bonus round.

Might be better to make an entirely separate "trials" tournament, but it's a very interesting concept.

|> Maps.

I really need some good map suggestions, even for this tournament. I can make decent settings but I'm just a little unoriginal when it comes to choosing the spot. I also hate unfair maps, which kind of limits my personal selections.

I think it would be ok to allow players to be tied for the same ranking.

As for maps, the fairest ones are obviously the symmetrical ones (house, ship, sumo ring, or that star one). However, Super Cups allow you to do so much more than a regular tournament. I enjoy themes, with a short intro at the beginning of each round.

poop im in

well all of the spots are taking so i guess the tornement has started.
