T26 - Put up your dukes! (in Contests)
This will be a two week tournament, beginning next Saturday. (I have SAT's this weekend)
It is a team tournament, and teams may be any size as long as there are at least 2 members to a team.
Each team will have 4 days to train, and then will be randomly assigned another team to fight. To defeat the other team, each of your team members must defeat each of their team members at least once during those two days. Your team will only be matched with another team with a combined MPR within 20% of your own teams' combined MPR.
If neither team can win, the team with the most offensive wins will advance to the next round. If there is a tie here as well, the team with the highest average MPR will win.
There will be at most, 5 rounds, meaning there is a maximum of 10 teams. If less than 10 teams sign up, the length of the rounds will change to compensate.
All spells and equipment are usable, no restrictions.
The winners of the tournament will split 5 million.
Any team with an average of at least 80% of the top teams average MPR will get 100k for each of its members.
Post your teams in this thread :)

just wondering, is decay banned? If so, I was just wondering why it was?
Decay is OK for this tournament - it is usually banned because most tournaments used to have score as a win condition, and decay allows you to target certain massive characters to boost your score

no DD or AMF sounds like a great start! *grins evilly*
highest MPR, you mean average? otherwise a team with 300k players are having a slight advantage against some team with 2 player, and it would be hard to pair up a team with too many players.
Team: Jabberwocky
horseguy
dudemus
...and a healthy serving of awesome will be present as well, for the most part...I think :)

after the four days, can we only attack the teams we are paired against, or can we continue fighting others as well and growing?
You may continue growing and attacking other opponents, please make sure to record the times that you attack your designated opponents so that I can easily check the results :)
when's the first match? And who will we be against?
So what team am I gonna be adding to my exclusive fightlist? :P
There are three teams within fighting range of each other, the fourth team is too far behind, and another has been disqualified because only one member created a character.
Three teams:
Jabberwocky
The Kings of Smack
Greatest team EVAR
There will be a free for all between the three teams to determine which team will automatically advance to the final round, and the remaining two teams will battle each other to advance.
The team with the most offensive wins against the opposing teams members will advance. Please attack each member only once, and CM me the time that you attacked them at.

oops, forgot one.
I'm going to wait till a few hours till I challenge Draco and Hatch. Doubt I can beat them >.<
so when you say please fight them only once, does that mean that double-tap wins don't count or does it mean that for the next 24 hours we can only fight each opponent one time and that has to be a win? also if we fight any of them and lose even once then we are out? sorry i am so confused.
My wins so far.

Attack only once, no double taps, no second tries, you get one shot to beat them.

you can continue to beat them after the first try, but only the first one counts towards the tourney, right? :P

You do NOT have to attack every opposing team member, but you may ONLY attack another teams member once for the next 24 hours.

the 24 hours should have been done around six hours ago. we should be able to fight anyone now with no points gained or lost?
So the tourney is over now?
Gah - I messed this one up, really sorry about this...my SAT's were rescheduled to yesterday and I had to go out with the family for dinner - Each of the top 3 teams will receive 1m per member - sorry for blowing it :(

That's okay with me, I love free money! Thanks Slayer! :P
no prob at all, if our team had progressed to the next level, i was going to have to concede as my partner went awol and i am heading to the coast tomorrow morning.
thanks
it's alright, it was still quite fun :P
in the future though, I would prefer shorter tourneys; 5+ days with this money bonus becomes a battle of who can get the biggest tattoo in auctions.
i agree! i also messaged slayer some ideas for tat equality during tourneys. limit it to lessers, or even start us with a lesser that we can re-ink but cannot buy another, etc.
QBOddBird
March 16 2008 2:00 PM EDT
I dunno, I had the biggest tattoo within 2 days. :P I don't think it was a money battle at all, just whoever saw the tattoos first got them.
I like that idea though, everyone gets a lesser and they may not purchase another, just reink their own....(except that means no HF *cry*)

Wow! :D
I was feeling crappy for letting OB and DrAcO down by being gone for so long...
I think BA caps need to be in place so as to keep tats within fair game, and to help out participation... This tourney came up, and immediately there were three teams full of people well-known to spend most/all of their BA. What was the average user who challenges less 500 battles /day to do when up against those spending 700+?
With a cap at/near 60-70% of daily accumulated BA, more casual users could play, but still need to be semi-active to compete and win, and any tat over 200k would stay over max for any team over the course of a weak. There are more than enough 200k tats to go around, so there is your tat equality, everyone using their max, and pitting the full potential of their strategy to that of their opponents. (I just made that sound sooooo cool ^_^)
the highest tat i could acquire in this tourney was just over 40k. i grew it higher, but it was nowhere near the 200k you claim are easy to find. horsey had probs getting a higher one as well, before he went awol.
on a side note, does anyone know what happened to horseguy, he hasn't been on in days.

and as far as tats, you do realize you can make threads and whatnot to buy items for tourney chars, right? So long as you use the tourney char's 2k to make/bump the thread, and use the auction system to make full payment from your tourney char...
i certainly hope they are all taking their eagle ray protective headgear! i wonder what the odds are for this tragic occurrence.

It'd be ironic if it was a duck instead of an eagle, eh?
"and as far as tats, you do realize you can make threads and whatnot to buy items for tourney chars, right? So long as you use the tourney char's 2k to make/bump the thread, and use the auction system to make full payment from your tourney char..."
if that is what it takes to do well in tourneys, then no wonder our participation has dropped to about 15 or less active people (six active at the end of the last one). i was really trying to make some suggestions to make it more fair and at the same time make it more convenient, two things that i think are necessary for getting more participants involved.
i agree that the ba caps are necessary as well. i also think that team tourneys should be few and far between as they seem to be the least popular as of yet.
