CB Tournament - Prize: $3 million (in Contests)
[T]Vestax
February 5 2006 7:55 PM EST
This is a tourney held by myself to take the place of the one that was cancelled.
I see no purpose in not letting it go on. The prize for first place is 3 million with 2nd and 3rd place prizes will be taken from entry fees. You can join any time this week, so you don't have to join this instant.
Condition For Victory
- Having the highest MPR character in the tourney.

- Tourney characters must be created after the start of the tourney. The tourney starts at Monday, Feb. 6th, in the morning at 12:01 server time.

*Any violation of the above rules will cause the disqualification of your character and your entrance fee will not be refunded.
Additions and Clarifications
- There is no NW cap.
- Transfers can be made to the tourney character. This includes cash and non-rare items.

- Tourney characters are not to be in a clan.

The transfer from this contest and the one chadder made is official. All people who signed up for his is now automatically signed up for this one instead and do not need to pay. If for some reason you desire a refund then direct your CMs to me. Good luck to everyone.

Would you, for clarity, explicitly address the other specific rules that were previously listed. Or do we assume they no longer stand as rules? For example, can we transfer money to our tourney character?
[T]Vestax
February 5 2006 11:52 PM EST
If I didn't say it then it should be allowed. Yes you can transfer funds. No there isn't a NW cap. Will these things help you or unbalance the game? No. The reason is that you need MPR to win and not PR.
[T]Vestax
February 6 2006 12:09 AM EST
The tourney started 7 or 8 minutes ago. Good luck to all.

I know for a fact that OB is already on his way.
can we send non-rare items as well?
and compounds not allowed? They spawn in stores...lol
[T]Vestax
February 6 2006 1:07 AM EST
Yes.
[T]Vestax
February 6 2006 1:11 AM EST
No compounds. I know they spawn in stores and all, but things are more interesting this way. It's borderline rare anyhow.
As a side note, borderliner is in as well. Thanks.

I will be unable to participate in this tournament. However, I would liek to participate in the next one when I have some more time (and BA) to spend, most likely the next tourney. Can my spot be transferred over to there? (I did pay 4x the money necessary)
[T]Vestax
February 6 2006 6:55 PM EST
Err... I'm hosting another one of these I guess. I'm not rich, but why the heck not. It's only money... and xp. I can never buy BA ever again.
/me is fine though.

February 6 2006 7:03 PM EST
I'll help out, no worries ^_^
There might just be a lower prize next time, seeing as how money isn't exactly flying in via the entry fees.

maybe a dumb question, but can a Enchanter train EO and ED, *or* EO/ED and Evasion? I just want to make it 100% positive...=)
QBOddBird
February 6 2006 8:05 PM EST
Must have one, not may only have one.
You can have multiple enchantments on an enchanter, I'm sure.
I sure hope so, at least.
tis why im waiting to train...=P
[T]Vestax
February 6 2006 8:06 PM EST
Yes they can. You can split the xp any way you want as long as they don't wield a weapon or have a DD spell.
When does it end? Can tourney characters fight for a clan?
[T]Vestax
February 6 2006 11:50 PM EST
I suppose I did leave out the ending. It ends at Sunday 2400 military time. (That's midnight.)
As for clan fighting... I almost said yes to this. I think it best though to leave all characters clanless. It could be considered an exploit of resources that not all people have. Not everyone can be in a clan with a bonus and not all bonuses are the same.

An Enchanter must have one enchantment and can not train any Skills other then Evasion.
must have 1 as minimum or must only have 1?
if only have 1 then i have some cheaters:
[tour1]smalls has 2 enchantments on smallsE
[tour1]OBsBaby has 2 enchantments on Enchanter
[tour1]Pwaetowian has 2 enchantments on Enchanter
[tour1]InfernalMisfit has 2 enchantments on Hermey
and some more people:
[tour1]Memnarch has a weapon on his enchanter
[tour1]Gilgamesh had a weapon on his enchanter
[tour1]A shrubbery has no enchanter (no enchantments on 1 minion)
[tour1]A shrubbery has a weapon on the mage (though that doesn't matter)
Vestax has allowed multiple enchantments.
AdminShade
February 7 2006 3:43 PM EST
in that case, only look at the bottom part of my reply, some people making bad choices :)

February 7 2006 3:45 PM EST

yes mages can have enchantments.
I already asked about that, Ranger. I can have it.
[T]Vestax
February 7 2006 6:48 PM EST
Mages can have enchantments.
Enchanters need 1 enchantment minimum. So yes they can have 2.
Sorry for not being clear enough.

The two players in red are not legal enough to win, however, they are not disqualified since it is reasonable enough to assume that both do not have the xp to train an enchantment.

I'ld say the top three positions are rather tight. Just as a reminder, there is only 28 hours and 30 minutes left in the tourney. Translation, 1710 to 1,197 free BA. (10 BA refresh and 7 BA refresh respectively.) Though, of course, you could always buy more BA if you need it. Good luck.
well, I laid down the rest of my cards. Thats it folks. Good luck to everyone

If you win in the time left, that would be SO wrong.
[T]Vestax
February 11 2006 11:07 PM EST
Why? Because it's me and not someone else? I allow anyone to join at any time. Besides, I didn't say weather or not I was eligible for the grand prize anyhow. A prize which is still at this moment an IOU.
I just wanted to play. Right from the begining that's what I wanted to do. Instead of playing it though, I've found myself hosting it. Trust me, I won't cheat, not that I really could since the contest relies on the game engine for results.
Kent
February 11 2006 11:47 PM EST
Nothing wrong with the maker/owner playing. I just meant that, the odds and unlikelihood of your success due to the time left (it was you who said how much BA could be gotten in that time). With less Ba usable, that would be "wrong" in terms of unlikelihood.
However, you did mention buying BA, so whatever.

Vestax,
I am sending you 150k and large dagger for the next tourney. Please send them back minus transfer fees if you decide not to host another one.

The final results are in. It seems that raw skill is no match for xp time. That being said we'll have to find away to avoid those times in the next tourney. Here are the winners:
1st place: Gilgamesh2090
2nd place: {cb1}smallpau1
3rd place: [OB]ForgeBird
I know I technically won 3rd place but I wasn't playing to win. Anyone who paid but didn't participate will be refunded. Out of the remaining 300,000 in submission money 200,000 goes to smallpau1 and 100,000 goes to ForgeBird. Gilgamesh2090 gets the grand prize of 3 million, which I'll pay to him as quickly as possible.
As for the next tourney, it may be a while, but hopefully it will start sometime before the month is through. If anyone would like to contribute to the effort you can always send whatever you have to 'Storage Bin' and provide a CM explaining what the money/items are for. Thanks once again.
