Default Setup Tourny

[Jeffery]

I will be running a Tournament on Sunday, September 19th. The tournament will start at 2pm EST (which is -5gmt). It will consist of each contender being assigned a new grey account, and using the default setup that it comes with. Since i will be creating the accounts needed, the tourny is open to gold AND grey players from all the servers. To join the tourny, you must post here your game name and server you will be using. Only ONE account per player will be assigned. Anyone caught trying to get more than one account in the tourny will be expelled.

The tournament will be a double elimination style tournament, so one loss does NOT put you out of the runnings to the top. Since everyone will have the exact same setup, true skill will be needed.

http://www.gunsofeld.com/defaultsetuptourny.htm
This is the basic rules, as well as where the brackets will be posted. I hereby state the right to modify the rules as needed.



This is NOT a discussion on the tourny itself. This is for signup of the tourny, so please keep all off-topic posts out of this thread.

Entrants: Since all accounts used will be made by me, the server is not too important.

I'm not sure yet if I'll try this or not...
but if I choose to do this, would I have to be there at 2:00?

There is no way I can be on till 3:15 at the earliest (school).



EDIT:
It's Sunday for me right now. Monday tomarrow.



EDIT:

You have school on a sunday????
The times will be a bit flexable, based on how many people sign up, as well as when the games are arranged.

[Jeffery]

its NEXT sunday the tourny will be held on. It is currently Sunday for me too!

[theburning]

Jeffery you really should mention which time zone you mean by '2 pm'.

[Jeffery]

Changed. Thanks for noticing that.


Comeon people, are you afraid to play games with the default settings????

[Tama Drummer]

Well... you can put me down for now. But I'm not 100% sure I'll be there. I don't remember now if it's Sunday or Saturday when I'm going to Jersey to see one of my favorite drummers do a drum clinic. I'm pretty sure it's Saturday, but I have to check again.

Tama Drummer can't be used I guess since I allready have that name on all servers...


so "Tama"?
Doesn't matter what server, if I need be moved move me. But I'd say Banff.


Edit: and I'm sure more people should sign up... I'll go see if I can round up a few people I know use the default settup. I myelf suck with it. :)

Will this tournament be only on Sunday?

[plusminus]

If it's all day Sunday I cannot take place, as I have to leave for work by 4PM Sunday afternoon.

If it's just round 1 on that day, then I'm in.

[ChingyDTP]

Im in.

[Jeffery]

yes. i hope to get the whole thing done on Sunday. Stretching it our would take forever. (Sorry plusminus)

[theburning]

Alright. That makes sense.
In which case, I cannot join either. :(

[_B0b_]

I would like to join this tourny...

[plusminus]

Aw, tourneys are always sunday, and I'm always at work on Sunday... Ah well, c'est la vie. Hope it goes well.

[Asmodeus]

In. Great Lakes. Come ready to get owned. I think.

[Medemia]

As a master with the default setup (I've gotten to 1208 before with it :) ), I would like to join the tournament, but I have to decline at this point. Sundays are always impossible with me. But I would like to challenge the winner later to a default-to-default match. That would be just spiffy.

[cs_zero]

i reserve thee right to turn down that challenge when i win.;)

That's true actually.
Is there another day of the week that you prefer?

[paulk6]

I'll join. Since I'm terrible at creating new formations anyway, this should be my type of tourny.

[Jeffery]

Sorry for picking Sunda, but i work Mon-Sat, so sunday is my only truly free day.
I'll hold one this winter that will be a weekday tourny.

yea find a nice name for me now.......

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are usually good for me, but most other people seem to work those days, and plus the kids are back in school now. Perhaps I just need a new job instead ;)

[DeathWish]

I am petrified of the default setting, it makes me shiver.

[Kalamady]

I shouldn't have a problem taking this home. :) Chameleon would also like to join but since he still can't post he asked me to post.

[MtSlayer]

Sign me up, Morgan Warpath on GL.

[-=Demontamer=-]

Me !!!!!

-=Demontamer=- banff

[lostandconfused]

I would totally be in, but..I will be up in Cleveland this weekend. I know I will be back on Sunday..I just don't know at what time. So how about this, count me in as of now, but if I don't show up it would mean I'm am still traveling. If anything, I'll be back at 4pm, which I'm guessing would be too late. So this is a tenative entry, count me in for now.

[Jeffery]

When you say "up" in Cleveland, does this mean you live down below Cleveland???

Where you from? SE Ohio by chance?

[lostandconfused]

South Western, about 20-25 miles out of downtown Cincinnati.

[MtSlayer]

Lostandconfused.. you need to be shot for that banner. Many, many times.

[lostandconfused]

Jeffery said not to get off topic, listen to the man. As I said, it is a joke and will be removed either tonight or tomorrow after school, and on a second note, my banner doesn't break any rules.

[Medemia]

Not only should you be shot for your banner (which is still loading on my dial-up 10 minutes later), but you should be kehauled, hung, drug through the mud, tickled with octopi, thrown on cacti, poked in the eye and made to eat pizza pie until your stomache explodes.

Check the banner size thread for my explanation.

And I like default setting. I wish I could join the tournament.

[theburning]

He's actually not breaking any rules with that banner!
Although, I think it's clearly time to modify the rules!

Obviously YOU need to check that thread, as it clearly stats that the banner he sports is perfectly legal.


And I'm not quite sure I'll be there either...

1. I'll forget (likely)
2. My connection will start screwing up... and if it's kicking me out of games, no point in even playing.


But still count me as "in" for now.


Edit: too slow... :(

D) There is no size limitation if your banner sports a Greek salad, imported from Greek.


[b]Originally posted by Medemia
While I do believe your salad is a Greek Salad, I don't think it fits both qualifications of the stipulation. Xerent said that it must be a Greek salad imported from Greece. Your salad is way to fresh to be imported from Greece. It looks like it was made in the restaurant just minutes before the picture was taken. So your banner is in violation of the rules.

Thank you, come again.

Edit: Other defense of broken stipulations:

If this picture was actually taken in Greece (which I doubt by the English lettering and not Greek lettering), then it failed to be exported from Greece to be imported elsewhere. You cannot import within your own country. That is just called a delivery.


Orignially posted by Xerent
Actually, if you read carefully, I SPECIFICALLY stated size specifications, except if sporting a greek salad, made in Greek. That salad is clearly from Greece, making it invalid.

Try again.


Don't mess with me. I know what I'm talking about :p

[imagination]

im about 75% sure i can make but that 25% always rears its ugly little head.

[BlackSyphon]

In.

[Jeffery]

All persons up to this point are listed.

Opponents will be matched up as they show up, to avoid noshow battles.

[Dark*Demon]

EDIT: ok nvm

[Yuratart1]

ill play!! wooo....i have an account on all the servers...so you prolly wont be able to make yuratart1 jeff....maybe not yuratart either. f.y.i

[Jeffery]

The accounts won;t actually have your names in them. They will be tourny numbers.

[Jonspen]

i'll sign up, depending on the prize....

[Jeffery]

Not sure, but since I will probably be banned, I doubt the tourny will happen. Sorry people. Maybe someone else will take time to do something for the game.

[Jonspen]

Banned???? Why would they do that? you do som much for the game....i would be glad to help out in any way possible.

[BlackSyphon]

I am in man. And jeff, about the banning issue, I wish you the best possible outcome,and that ofcourse is to stay with us:)

du

[Jonspen]

Indeed, us netjak will look after TAO if you ever be banned, don't worry man it's in safe hands.

[theAdmiralty]

banned hmm?? details??

[Jeffery]

There is no banning happening.
But I have retired from TAO, and will soon be out of the forums as well.

[BlackSyphon]

:(

du

[DeathWish]

lol jonspen, us "netjak will look after tao if u get banned"? Didnt know that jeffery looked after tao, or netjak for that matter...

[MtSlayer]

Right, well it looks like Jeffery is actually leaving. I'd like to still do the default tourney though, I'll take over if need be but does anybody have any suggestions for a tourney prize?

Edit: If the tourney did continue though it'd obviously be at a later time.

eater

please respond if you are still in.

[ChingyDTP]

so its starting in 4 hours and 30 min?

[meat.eater]

See New Thread

[T3km4n]

You just openly gave the password to everyone.

1) The passwords on each account should be different so that they can't sign on eachother's accounts.
2) You shouldn't openly post the password.

[meat.eater]

why does it make a difference? if they want to win for someone else, they they dont get a prize. the prize goes to the original name, not the made up grey name. think about it.

[meat.eater]

if there is a major problem, just PM me with your desired grey name on army. and i will count you as that individual.

[T3km4n]

Who says they will try their hardest? They may lose on purpose or change the setup to get DQed. Right now, if I wanted to, I could DQ any of those players by signing on their account and messing with their setup and playing someone who would take a screenshot and showing it to you. Also, this could be someones excuse after they lose, that it wasn't them.

[meat.eater]

it will work out. people are decent.

[T3km4n]
