Freestyle (Alternative) Tournament

[DarkfirePhoenix]

The story behind this idea is quite simply, all "optimal" forms have been made, and "optimal" units have been chosen. So, I decided to put together a tournament to promote innovation in creating new forms.

Here's the name of the game; it's technically a completely freestyle tournament, with just a few limitations to spice it up a little. I would hope that most people play with rushes or antis and create something completely new, but using a turt to fit my limitations is well within your rights.

Standard Anti/Rush Units
Cleric
Dragon
Knight
Scout
Mud Golem
Frost Golem
Golem Ambusher
Dragon Speaker Mage


How many times have you seen an anti composed of at least 6 of the 8 units listed above? This game is coming to boring repeats of who rushes harder, or who kills the cleric faster.

Now, here's where I impose the limitations; of the 10 units on the field, 2 must not be present under the "Standard Anti/Rush Units" list.

This includes:
Wisp, Berzerker, Beast Rider, Furgon, Assassin, etc...

I'll leave about 2-3 weeks for sign-ups, though I'm not expecting that many people to actually be creative for a change – maybe about 16.



(Also, anyone like the acronym for the title of this tourney? ;) )

i just ha ve a question...are the units on the second list units we cannot use? or units we must use???

[skev21]

2 of you're units can't be from the first list. The second list is just examples.

[Blood And Gore]

Me.

Now.

[DarkfirePhoenix]

For the love of the game?

[phoenixofflames]

thats a good prize.

[Sangro]

2 of you're units can't be from the first list. The second list is just examples.

ohhh okay...thanks my main man

[Tugnus]

Sounds interesting. I'll try darkky. Sign me up

Edit: Couldnt you just use a basic turt set since you dont have to use a GA or DSM.

[phoenixofflames]

This is gonna be more than a 16 player tournament if you dont limit signups, dfp

Considering we're up to 9 people on day 1 of sign-ups, I was thinking that as well. As for what the limit may be, I'm not sure -- I'll think about it over the next week.

[phoenixofflames]

i dont think as big as 32 would be much fun.. unless you let us have a partner. then like 16 teams of 2 would be good

[Maverik07]

yea sure, what the heck

[Geeky_Bastard]

I'm down. I just wish Crx were here for this, he'd win hands down :-p

[DarkfirePhoenix]

3-4 units would provide more creativity ;)

It would, but my idea is for people to come up with forms that they would actually use in games, so that we would see more variation in the TAO world.

[phoenixofflames]

i still wish the stoney isnt allowed..

[Worker]

It would, but my idea is for people to come up with forms that they would actually use in games, so that we would see more variation in the TAO world.Ahh I understand, good thinking.:cool:

[~SlayeR~]

I sign up... I guess.

[DarkfirePhoenix]

i still wish the stoney isnt allowed..

If people are confident that they've come up with a turt that they can go against a rush, all power to them.

[skev21]

If there's still room I'll give this a go.

[DarkfirePhoenix]

If there's still room I'll give this a go.

Plenty of room, and tell everyone else to join my tournament while you're at it. ;)

[elimination]

I want to play......:(
Wait, I didn't really understand the first post, with the rules, so I CAN or can't, use a standard anti, which including the following: Dragon, 2 scouts, 3 knights, a mud, a frosty, a cleric. Or, I have to use a berserker or somthin?

[skev21]

You can't use an entirely standard anti... 2 or more of your units must not be represented in the list of standard anti/rush units.

[Geeky_Bastard]

This will be an interesting tourney for sure.

[Punishment]

Can i use like...

Cleric
Dragon
Knight
Scout
Scout
DSM
Pyro
Pyro
Mud with the 2 pyros being the underused?

[Geeky_Bastard]

Sure if you want your ass beaten. ;)

[Punishment]

Pff

Bomb FTW.

[Geeky_Bastard]

I dare you to bomb me in this tourney :tongue2: This form may just be good outside this tourney as well.

[Punishment]

Pff

I would bomb your sorry ass into next week.

[Geeky_Bastard]

DFP, match Pun and I up first round so he can.... bomb my ass into next week.

[Tugnus]

Im slightly confused on the rules. Cant you use a normal anti/rush by just not using a DSM and GA?

[Ol' Time]

Wow, some good players have joined, please let me have an easy first-rounder! :(

[gigolojlo gl]

Looks like there should be some tough competition here.

[DarkfirePhoenix]

Im slightly confused on the rules. Cant you use a normal anti/rush by just not using a DSM and GA?

2 of the units on the field must not be represented on the first list.

[Punishment]

DKP, Can they both be teh same unit though?

AKA, 2 pyros.

[imagination]

im in

[DarkfirePhoenix]

DKP, Can they both be teh same unit though?

AKA, 2 pyros.

That's a new acronym for my name...

And yes.

[Tugnus]

So then couldnt you have

cleric
3 knights
2 scouts
mud
frosty
DT

cause im not using a DSM or GA which are two units on the list.

[Punishment]

You have to Use 2 units that aren't on that list Tug.

Not "not use" 2 that are.

[DarkfirePhoenix]

Way to dumb it down for poor Tug there. ;)

[Tugnus]

OHHHHH. Man i feel stupid, but everyone know im retarded so it doesnt matter.

[phoenixofflames]

Yeah, i was just confused on the same hting. im glad i read tug's posts :)

[Daemon Bloodmaw]
