Tourney suggestion thread: (in General)

I'd like to hear some new tourney suggestions.

To start the ball rolling I'd like to hear some opinions on T chars having a separate score stat system. So that they only remove score from a char they attack for the current tournament. The chars normal score isn't effected.

Then I'd like to see retired chars be attackable. This would widen the field dramatically for participants. Soft standard targets would become the default fightlist. More casual players could join in.

Tourneys shouldn't start at the same time XP time does :P

Yes, starting tourneys at the same time as the start of exp time tends to make things rather hectic at that time.

i would like to see some type of character bank accessible by the tournament admins. people could donate characters (they aren't worth much anyways) and the admins could gear them up and no one would have to lose character slots to keep these active.

No more -50% CB tournies

dude: we have that

cool, where do i send some characters? they are all kept active as well?

cm me the list and I'll have Slayer or NS move them to TP

had i known, i would have sent my last ncb before starting this one!

is this advertised anywhere on our site or even the wiki?

Put it up!

Already sent to NS/Slayer but Tourney characters shouldn't effect clan CPs.

It almost seems with everything talked about Tourney issues, auctions, score, cps, etc.... they need to have their own 'world' when run. Could a image of the current playerbase (including retired characters) be created as a playing field of sorts when a new tourney is about to begin, and then it's only the tourney players that are active and whatever effect they unleash during each tourney won't effect any of the active non-tourney players stats. Also, doing this would make it where people couldn't control bigger mpr characters and eliminate any possible way of possible exploits/cheating. And for each subsequent tourney, a new playing field is created. Ideally, the ultimate goal I can think of is if it were possible to come up with a random Tourney playerbase generator with random scores/mprs etc... which would make things a lot more spicy imo.

good additions to the separate score idea kev

i would likely need a bit more detail before putting something up and placement is key, it would be idea on the actual manage characters page and even give a link to make the transfer.

some of the info that needs to be detailed in my mind is:

are these characters kept active?
are they kept equipped?
will the xp be trained?
can this be all done by some of our better strategists to make them challenging and keep a fairly good score?

if this system can be fleshed out and used, we really wouldn't need your second idea of making retired characters fightable and i think it would be better because they would be geared and trained well.
