Sorry for 3 back-to-back posts, but I assume rentals are not allowed also?

AdminShade August 24 2005 8:39 AM EDT

I presume rentals aren't allowed either, as aren't auctions since they could easily be set up for the 'tournament' character to buy them.

Also i wish people would learn a tiny bit better html coding so they close down their coding better.

Having to remove 2 codes to prevent the forum thread from being half broken and hard to read/look isn't too funny.

***ADDITIONS TO THE RULES***

(Any rules concerning characters will take effect in one day, to give players time to change if necissary)


Standard Arena Rules:

-The Winner will be the character with the highest score.

-Your char name must start with [T1] brackets included. (To make it easier for judges to see which char is in the tourny)
-No decay may be trained until the last day of the tournament
-If you retire your character before the end of the tournament, you will not be eligible for the prize.
-On the last day of tournament,you may only attack tournament characters, anyone that attacks a non-tourney char will not be elligble for the prize. I strongly recommend you make good use of the favorite opponents feature to insure you don't mess up. If you're not a supporter, you can do a makeshift favorites list by keeping each target in a new browser window or tab.

-The winner is the char with the highest score, unless the char with the 2nd highest score can consistently win against the highest score on the last day of the tournament. There must be at least ten battles between the two for this rule to take affect. (consistently win = 75% of battles are won, draws and stalemates count as losses. All battles between the two, regardless of which was the challenger. Battles in which one of the chars were weakened beforehand do not count)


(rules borrowed from AvoidCXT from T170-Thank you Avoid.)

CT [Monopoly] August 24 2005 12:56 PM EDT

So do I need to rename my character?

CT [Monopoly] August 24 2005 1:00 PM EDT

Ok, my new character name is [T1] Breaking Point.

SaintMichael August 24 2005 1:59 PM EDT

WE need more players come on guys! If we have less than 3 players we will refund everything and this tournament will go away.

louha2 August 24 2005 2:06 PM EDT

id like to play.

SaintMichael August 24 2005 2:18 PM EDT

Tourny prices half off!
If you have paid the full 50,000 it will be returned.

(ps: louha2 if you want to join please send 25k to CB Tourny, if you need financial aid I can help you.)

QBBarzooMonkey August 24 2005 3:08 PM EDT

Okay, I want to try it out.
[T1] Invader Zim.
I assume I can hire minions & start fighting at 12:01 AM server time?

BarzooMonkey (The Wonka Factory) 64.65.211.77 Nexium Crash (CB Tourny) $25000 -- Entry Fee 3:04 PM EDT

Admin{CB1}Slayer333 [SHIELD] August 24 2005 3:19 PM EDT

yes, you may hire minions at 12:01 AM

However, do note there will be a BA limit of 2500

store visits will not count towards this limit, HOWEVER...
you may not sell any items camped with your tourny char to any player by any means, doing so will disqualify you from the prize. Going over the BA lmit will disqualify you! (I may be lenient on this because there is no way to limit BA used like on the Cb1 tournys, however if you are over 100 fights over the BA limit there shalt be no mercy! ;-)

QBBarzooMonkey August 24 2005 3:21 PM EDT

This may be an obvious question, but is tha 2500 BA total over the 2 weeks?

Admin{CB1}Slayer333 [SHIELD] August 24 2005 3:22 PM EDT

Yes, the 2500 BA limit is for the entire tourny. If all the participants use up all 2500 BA though, the tourny will end earler than 2 weeks.

Tezmac August 24 2005 3:28 PM EDT

Pardon my ignorance, but how are you going to know when people have used exactly 2500 BA?

Special J August 24 2005 3:28 PM EDT

2500 in two weeks is not much BA at all.

I use roughly 1,500 BA a day.

Admin{CB1}Slayer333 [SHIELD] August 24 2005 3:29 PM EDT

Tezmac--when inspecting a character, you can see how many battles they have challenged.

MrWuss, I am aware that the BA cap might be a little low, this is just an "experiment tourny" depending on how it ends up, I may raise the cap.

Admin{CB1}Slayer333 [SHIELD] August 24 2005 3:32 PM EDT

thank you for reminding me Tez

***ADDITION TO THE RULES***

Forging is NOT allowed, as I have no way of knowing how much BA is spent forging, I WILL however, be able to check if you have been forging through transfer logs.

{CB3}-HR22 August 24 2005 3:37 PM EDT

I guess im in now.

Phrede August 24 2005 3:40 PM EDT

OK I'll give it a go char will be [T1]Freed

I've paid my money - but not on your latest list - and how do I join the tournament and get my 2500 BA ?

Admin{CB1}Slayer333 [SHIELD] August 25 2005 9:41 AM EDT

Freed, you are already in the tournament, the 2500 BA comes from your regular BA.

SaintMichael August 25 2005 10:46 AM EDT

You were already in tourny, unfortunately I've been having utter computer trouble and might not be there for the beginning of the tourny. So, Slayer is now the man in charge I'll probably be back tomorrows if I get this fixed.

Phrede August 25 2005 12:01 PM EDT

Since I have never played a tournament before I asked the question last night about BA. I asked whether I needed to use standard BA and was answered no - that was the only way I would enter a tournament - if I didnt use my cp.

I now find that I need to use my own BA - which is no good for me. So ...

Next time it should be made clear for a tourny Newb like me (and for the people responding to my question).

This is not a flame just a statement. You can keep the 25K for prizes or whatever.

Admin{CB1}Slayer333 [SHIELD] August 25 2005 12:03 PM EDT

Sorry that was not clarified correctly, I will make sure to add in to the rules something about that.

Who Dunnit August 25 2005 4:16 PM EDT

50k sent

SaintMichael August 25 2005 4:36 PM EDT

Since you have an NUB, the 50k will be for my transfers of a character to you. I will then take 25k outa my pocket and put that in the pot. What do you want your character's name to be?

SaintMichael August 25 2005 8:01 PM EDT

Reyna, this is just the first tournament we are, like we said, experimenting. It'll end up being 3-4 days probably.

HellRazor, thanks for posting those stats, I have an excel sheet running that is updated every 3 hours, if you want I can post them. From now on I'll also put a link the characters in a tourny.

HellShark [Formper] August 26 2005 1:48 AM EDT

ohhh and that wasn't a donation my character is [T1] Shark

HellShark [Formper] August 26 2005 3:53 AM EDT

ohh wait i had no idea when the tourney started i thought 25th was ages away damn cant catch up now

SaintMichael August 26 2005 12:11 PM EDT

You can catach up, it looks as though we made a time error. You have 1 day to use 2500 ba. =)

{CB3}-HR22 August 26 2005 4:27 PM EDT

What?? This ends tommarow..? Or what?
I never knew that, was a notice sent out?
I was planning on waiting till the last few days and using my BA. Also switchng strat and stuff.

SaintMichael August 26 2005 4:37 PM EDT

Regrettably, we settled for 2 days. It technically ends tomorrow at 12:00 pm. Everyone who signed up for this tourny now only needs 10k to pay for entering the next one. This is just a test one, there is a prize but we have now fixed almost everything for the next one only 10k. Good luck to all thosae who have played in this one.

QBBarzooMonkey August 26 2005 4:39 PM EDT

Whoa - when exactly was this drastic change announced? Like HR22, this changes absolutely everything I was working on...

SaintMichael August 26 2005 4:40 PM EDT

Actually since it is our fault for not having this one organized or as fun as a regular one, that starts next Monday. All who joined now have free enterance to the next one that's right <b>FREE!</b>

{CB3}-HR22 August 26 2005 4:49 PM EDT

That's makes no sense, this is making the tournament pointless since it was not gone thorugh all the way, I had set out a small plan in how i would run the tourney and i also spent some cash on BA for non-succesfull camping, now that it isnt possible for me to use my full 2500 BA there is no point to proceed, since i cant be on 24/7. Im sure this messed up alot of people and i KNOW i would have had a running chance to win this thing, even with my 3 minion team against a 4.
Well, Looking forward to the new tourny.
-Hell

SaintMichael August 26 2005 4:55 PM EDT

Alright, I understand, but it was posted about the ba and time limit. Anyway, you get to perfect your strat in the next tourny without cost. =), have a good day.

QBBarzooMonkey August 26 2005 5:04 PM EDT

This is posted 3 or 4 times:

(5.) Tournaments last two weeks, unconditionally.

This is the closest any post comes to an announcement, and it's incredibly vague:

Reyna, this is just the first tournament we are, like we said, experimenting. It'll end up being 3-4 days probably.

I understand & appreciate the free admission to the next one and all, but that doesn't make this this decision any less lame.

Just needed to vent. I'll play nice now :)

{CB3}-HR22 August 26 2005 5:21 PM EDT

I am no longer in this tourney, so no need to include me in the rankings, im going to get ready for the next tourney and retire this one.

I just would like to say that this is the all time worst run tournament I have ever seen and I would like to discourage all users to not participate in the next one. I don't want the CB2 tournaments to be run by these bozos. Lets get some staff that's a little more reliable.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings, but that's the way I feel.

CT [Monopoly] August 26 2005 6:15 PM EDT

I withdraw from the tournament.

SaintMichael August 26 2005 6:16 PM EDT

Everyone has been refunded 35k, sending Reyna 125k. Sorry for wasting everyone time.

Since most of the pot has been refunded to the players the winner will recieve the money on the Tourny storage character "TournyPrizesCash" (one of my characters) along with whatever is left of the original pot.

Who Dunnit August 26 2005 9:07 PM EDT

Money: $162,228 < at least its something. cause there is just no fun without winning anything :)

All I wanted was adherence to to rules as originally stated. To change them so drastically after 1 day is absolutely ridiculous. I'm gladly still in if ya'll stick to those rules, and I'll send my fee back.
There is no way, however, that I'm going to participate if the rules are going to change after it's started, with little or no warning, just because 1 player doesn't like them. That's not whining, it's common sense.

Barzoo, being the first tourny ever there is of course trial and error. We realized the BA:Time retion was too lare we lowered the time. This is all experimentation and we need to have cooperation is we are to make a successful tourny. I'm currently in the middle of a move working from the library computer, please I know this is disorganized but please do not flame me cause the people buying the house wanted us out in 10 days. I'm trying to fix the errors, your fun in secondary in this (pre) tourny, no one was Whining just pointing out something that was viable to do. Look for more tournies after I move,

QBBarzooMonkey August 26 2005 11:00 PM EDT

Nexium, I completely understand, and intend to participate. Your explanation is appreciated, but realize that this is the first real explanation of what's going on up to this point. Prior to this, I was just voicing a concern, with no intention to "flame", and I regret if you interpreted it as such. And my whining comment was directed at Hex's post, anyway.
Carry on, you have my support when you ready to start again :)

SaintMichael August 26 2005 11:14 PM EDT

Thank you, I was refering more to CT.

UPDATE

There are only TWO remaining competitors (I believe....)

HeX (score of 1478)

BarzooMonkey (score of 1477) (I am not aware if you have dropped out or not, if you have, please CM me)

The current prize is at

192,128

Admin{CB1}Slayer333 [SHIELD] August 27 2005 9:06 PM EDT

It seems there has been a mix up in communication between me and Nexium, so the prize money (on my character TournyPrizesCash) will be split up between the last two contestants (BarzooMonkey and HeX) evenly.

SaintMichael August 28 2005 12:11 AM EDT

Alright, sorry for that. And I should be all settled in in the new house next thursday for hose wondering.
