IROK's All-Around Tag Team Tournament

[Nitanius Nolund]

OK, so Mith inspired me to make a tournament, and upon thinking of ideas, I came up with this: a way to have FPS players and Legends players play together. So, I made this tournament. Teams will seem kind of large, but my reasoning for it is valid, as it wouldn't end up fair to have a Legends turtler have to play an FPS turtler, as the styles are completely different.

I'm currently working on prizes, but mostly that conversing is over Legends. If all goes well, prizes will be special avatars (possibly a trophy for the winning team's captain).

So, if you are thinking "hey, this sounds like fun", the full tourny rules and sign up thread are viewable here (http://www.legendsforums.com/showthread.php?t=9014).

*thinking this sounds fun*

[Nitanius Nolund]

I should post here the same thing I posted on LegendsForums. I myself will not be putting out an effort to form any teams, but I have been asked to join a few. So, if you wish for me to be on your team, I can play any of the styles, but have a team together when you ask for me, otherwise I'll just turn you down :p

[TaoParis]

IROK, I'll join. May i play with you?

[FiReBrAnD]

IROK, I'll join. May i play with you?

Sounds kinky..

[Nitanius Nolund]

As I have already said, have a team together when you ask me, and have the style you want me to participate in known as well :p.

Besides, if this team that I was asked to be in falls through, we'll need a gray or a sub, and you'll probably be able to take that position.

[kingedward]

dude...put me down on that list looking for a team...ill be someones grey if you want me

[Nitanius Nolund]

I recommend getting to know some Legenders, as not only will this tournament be run there, but you'll need to find Legends players for your team.

[pils]

Anyone looking for a grey, let me know.
IROK that means you too :p

[FiReBrAnD]

I signed up for it. :p

[Nitanius Nolund]

The more the merrier :D

[Nitanius Nolund]

Boo yeah, Fire is on my team with Flash Demon now :)

[Anarchy_United]

I will be forming a team, and just so you know, this IS NOT tag-team. Tag-team is the winner gets to use his surviving units until he is defeated.

[Mithrandir]

I'm open to offers to join good teams looking for a grey.

[Anarchy_United]

Mithy, interested in My team?

[pils]

Damn you mith.
Stop being grey.

AU, if mith declines, hit me up.

[Nitanius Nolund]

AU, I am well aware, my original idea changed to what it is now

[Mithrandir]

Mithy, interested in My team?

Possibly. I'm going to want to field offers, and I'd want to see who else you've teamed up with.

[dab00z]

I am good at both grey and FPS free, willing to join a good team.

[solingro]

Where is the official server for this though? I guess FPS matchups will be on Rev and Legend style match ups will be on Legend. But what about greys seeing you can use grey drops...

[Nitanius Nolund]

Well if that is the case, I'm sure that players could get Rev accounts, or have accounts on other servers. Besides, by the time this is ready to start, the wipe will be coming up anyway :p

[bludhoundz]

I'm pretty detached from TAO right now, and I don't think I wanna join a team.

Maybe if this takes place over the summer.. either way, don't send me a PM asking me to join your team (this doesn't go for those who have already sent me PMs :p).

[Anarchy_United]

Pils, I'll take you for grey if you want to. Wootsauce!

[Nitanius Nolund]

Mith has been picked up round 1, pick 3 by IROK

[solingro]

Well if that is the case, I'm sure that players could get Rev accounts, or have accounts on other servers. Besides, by the time this is ready to start, the wipe will be coming up anyway :p

Just asking cuz you'll probably have someone from legend wanting to use a 10 witch set up against someone with 5 witches on rev and each wanting to play on the server where their drops are at.

[Anarchy_United]

Drops in grey is stupid for a tournement.

[Nitanius Nolund]

Just asking cuz you'll probably have someone from legend wanting to use a 10 witch set up against someone with 5 witches on rev and each wanting to play on the server where their drops are at.

Obviously if that is the case then one of the hosts would find a proper way to settle things

[FiReBrAnD]

Yeah, I will grey on Great Lakes.. 10 witches FTW! Ask gig about that one. :)

[pils]

Pils, I'll take you for grey if you want to. Wootsauce!

KK.
Me and you. Who's next?

[kingedward]

Drops in grey is stupid for a tournement.

i agree...and doesnt anyone want me...? i may just get my own team together if i dont get an offer soon.

[Anarchy_United]

KK.
Me and you. Who's next?

Not sure, I've talked to a few people, sent a few PM's. We really need to find someone who is nasty in legends turt. Any ideas for some legenders? I'm gonna try and get fugly boy to. I tried Bludz, but he is busy.

[pils]

I'll try and get that done.
I have a phew people in mind.

[gigolojlo gl]

Yeah, I will grey on Great Lakes.. 10 witches FTW! Ask gig about that one. :)

I hate you. Now let me on your team :rolleyes:.

[Nitanius Nolund]

May I suggest ualldeathwithme? He's a solid turtler, and Paris (TaoParis here) is a good player as well, though she plays Legends Freestyle or gray.

[gigolojlo gl]

Can I tryout for your team or what not now :(?

[Nitanius Nolund]

If you can flawless OmegaShin yes :)

[pils]

K a lot of PMs have been sent out.
We *should* have a legends turt by tomorrow.
~~~

Also A_U just so i know for sure, what do you intend on playing?

[pils]

We got a legends turt.
Spitfire. You may know him from the legends turt team.
From what I hear hes pretty damn good. And hes a friend of mine.

Now we need some free players.
I'm trying to snag Ed, waiting for a reply.

[Hatchet Warrior]

I'm just telling everyone..if your looking for someone to fill a spot I can help. I can and will play any style needed.

[pils]

Anarchy, i'm really liking the sound of H_W as one of our free's.
What do you think?

Nothing offcial here but check this out
pils-grey
anarchy_united-FPS turt
spit fire-legends turt
HW-legends free
ED-FPS free
that would be a solid team... But I don't mean to be throwing around invites here... HW, if you want in our team, tell anarchy.
And ed, im still waiting for a response.

[Hatchet Warrior]

I'd much rather legends free, but either will do.

[pils]

KK, sounds good...
But i gotta talk to A_U...
I started this with him, I don't wanna just go around making a bunch of decisions without his consent.

[TaoParis]

IROK, you better take me in your team.

And Firebrand. Mayb e it was kinky.

[Geoffrey]

I might aswell look for a team. Anyone wants a good grey. Pm me.

[AlabamaBoy]

I'll play.

PM me for a spot.

Captain - AlabamaBoy - Turtle

Member - ??? - Turtle

Member - ??? - Freestyle

Member - ??? - Freestyle

Member - ??? - Gray

Member - ??? - Gray

[MicSpor]

Geoff and I are making a team. Anyone interested in not getting owned should PM me.

[Geoffrey]

Me and Mic are teaming up.

Hey mic pm me with people you think we could have. I just wanna know before anything is certain, because i might be able to pull some big SI players for this.

[~SlayeR~]

Anyone PM me if you're interested in having a "good" grey and FPS Freestyler.

[Nitanius Nolund]

I'm glad that this tournament has some potential, even if most of the planning is done out of the thread

[AlabamaBoy]

Do I need both Legenders and FPS'ers on my team?

[pils]

No.
But legenders would probably be ideal for legends turt/ legends free...
Seeing as you *do* need those.

[Anarchy_United]

Allright, team Doug Funnie

Captain/FPS Turtle: Anarchy United
Legends Turtle: -Spitfire-
Legends Free: HatchetWarrior
FPS Free: Zoma/Fugly Boy/Bax Varlet
Grey: Pils
Sub: Not sure yet.

Also, I might change to sub, as I can kick ass in any single style. This is not finalized, we might change up the positions.

[pils]

Sounds good.
HW confirmed right?
I never really officially invited him yet.

Also I may have a sub in mind. If you don't.

[Maverik07]

Ill hit this up. PM me if you want me.

[Anarchy_United]

Sounds good.
HW confirmed right?
I never really officially invited him yet.

Also I may have a sub in mind. If you don't.

Does he want to? If he does, then he is on, if he doesn't, I'll shift to Legends Free, and we can find an FPS turtler.

[pils]

I just PM'd him, to be sure.

[Anarchy_United]

Our team name is Rocket Power, and all members must greet eachother by saying "woogity woogity woogity". Also, I'm The Squid. Who wants to be Twister?

[pils]

=O
....
<3

woogie woogie woogie (thats how it goes ;))
And i am twister
Whos gonna be otto?

[Anarchy_United]

Woops.. woogie woogie woogie!!

Since TAO is by far teh most extreme sport of all!

[pils]

Ok, HW is officially in.
we got me,you,spitfire,zoma and him.

We need a sub... I have one in mind, I think he would be pretty perfect for sub because hes well rounded.
Only thing that he probably wouldn't be very good at would be FPS turt...

But everything else in his arsenal is good.
I won't say anything to him until I get word from you. If you don't have anyone in mind then I think we should pick him up.

[Hatchet Warrior]

I just confirmed, team rocket power will pwn.

[Nitanius Nolund]

Pils, who are you referring to? Override?

[pils]

No.
I highly doubt override would join another tourny at this point.
And I'm sure you already tryed to recruit him ;)

[Nitanius Nolund]

Actually I didn't. Though, now you've got me curious :p

[Hatchet Warrior]

I have someone in mind for our sub. He can play any style, but i'll need to talk with him.

[pils]

Who?
I think A_U already invited someone, but i have someone in mind too.
But depending on who you have in mind we could/would probably go with your sub.

[Hatchet Warrior]

We'll find out here soon. I don't like bothering him while he's playing halo :P

[gigolojlo gl]

Team Name/Captain: Green Eggs and Ham/gigolojlo

Team Positions: Undecided (other than sub)

Team Members:
Worker
ozmaj85
allstar
El Cid
|airforceone|
gigolojlo (proud sub)

[Hatchet Warrior]

This is a good set team, but all Njers then a SIer? Either way I want to play this team first :P

[gigolojlo gl]

Hey, I am the proud sub!

[Hatchet Warrior]

Still won't change anything I am thinking or will say.

[Nitanius Nolund]

Team Name/Captain: Green Eggs and Ham/gigolojlo

Decide on a captain and who is playing what and post in the Legends thread please. I can't have sign ups all over the place. It makes for a mess and omission.

[Mithrandir]

So is this thing cancelled?

[FiReBrAnD]

Dunno if it is still going to continue with IROK being banned and all, unless someone else steps up and takes control.

[kingedward]

i COULD step up and take it...however...no one knows who i am. So unless i get people telling me they absolutely need someone...i wont. Ill be a last resort.

[pils]

edit: nvm...
looks like this is gonna be canceled, if no one takes responsibility for in in the next day.

[kingedward]

dangit...that sucks. This tourney was going to be alot of fun.

[MicSpor]

I am willing to run it.

[gigolojlo gl]

I am willing to run it.

I'll help you run it if you would like and if you do end up taking charge.

[MicSpor]

That sounds fine, Gig. :)

Maybe we should 1 or 2 from Legends also?

[gigolojlo gl]

Yea, unless you have a forum account over there (since I do not), we will probably need somebody running the thread on Legends.

[MicSpor]

So, Irok doesn't have what he posted on Legends.


Teams will be composed of 5 members and a substitute. These teams would need to have a member to play in each of the following styles:

Legends Turtle
FPS Turtle
Legends Freestyle
FPS Freestyle
Gray

Legends Turtle Rules
Complete rules are viewable here

FPS Turtle Rules
Complete rules are viewable here

Freestyle (FPS and Legends)
Anything goes unless prearranged by the players

Gray
All gray matches are allowed drops, but restricted to gray drops only unless prearranged by the players

Drops Not Allowed in Gray
Beast Rider
Furgon
Mud Golem
Frost Golem

Winners of Match-ups
Winning teams are determined by the best record in the best of 5 scenario. Matches do no need to be played in any order, and units are not lost from one match to another. After you have played your match you must simply wait for your teammates to do the same.

Teams will need a captain and a team name. I'll see how things go as far as sign ups are concerned before I state how long they will be open for. Mithrandir is running the largest tournament FPS has ever had, and I hope to mirror that with a tournament that has members from both communities coming together not only for competition, but friendship and teamwork amongst each other.

As far as prizes go, I will convey with the moderation staff of both communities to see what we can come up with.

Further rules will come when the match-ups are drawn.

Teams Signed Up
1. Ro-Sham-Bo : Phoenix (Captain)(Sub), Darkness (L Turt), Magician (FPS Turt), xEaglex (L Freestyle), Cliche (FPS Freestyle), Ragnarth (Gray)
2. Rocket Power : Anarchy United (Captain)(FPS Turt), Spit_Fire (L Turt), Hatchet Warrior (L Free), Zoma/BaxVarlet (FPS Free), pils (Gray)
3. *Name Undecided* : Jake shep (Captain) (FPS Freestyle), Draquist (FPS Turt), *Weeman* (L Turt), machiavelli33 (L Freestyle), Girshwin (Gray)
4. The Under Dawgs : Bad Wolf (Captain) (FPS Turt), *ZADICO (L Turt), ~SlayeR~ (FPS Free), Paris (L Free), ff7cloud (Gray)
5. The Dream Team : IROK (Captain) (Sub), Flash Demon (L Turt), FiReBrAnD (FPS Turt), Bobcat (L Free) *Pending*, ExpectDeath (FPS Free), Mithrandir (Gray)

(That is what he posted. I am hoping to get 8 teams?)

[kingedward]

mic...as your teammate...i am here if you need help with this, and i have an account over on legends.

[gigolojlo gl]

mic...as your teammate...i would like to help you with this, and i do have an account over on legends.

No offense king but I do not think you are quite ready to help run a tournament.

[pils]

gig, I saw on legends you still need another host.

If your still looking, I'd be happy to help out.
I have a LOT more activity in legends then either of you (no offense, just stating the truth)
And I could maintain a lot of it on legends, where as you guys would do most of the work corresponding to FPS.

[kingedward]

No offense king but I do not think you are quite ready to help run a tournament.

i believe you are right, gig, and what i meant by that post was that i am here IF you need help...i used the wrong words. Sorry about that misconception.

As for pils, you are correct...im not very active on legends.

Mic, am i right in assuming we are still getting a team together? If not, let me know so i can find another one.

[MicSpor]

This is how it stands.

FPS: Gig, Me

Legends: AFO, Mods (to edit first post) and maybe Pils. I am fine with you hosting, but Gig can make the final call.

[gigolojlo gl]

If we are going to double team this tourney over here on FPS, we might as well do the same on Legends. Pils, you have the go ahead from me.

[|AFO|]

Umm...I do not think we should have two places in which this thing is ran. Either have a thread here or over there...

I think it would be best to hold it here seeing as gig and mic are more active over here.

[MicSpor]

It's an inter-server deal.

I don't get what's the big deal. Winners will PM me their wins on LF or here. And they can choose to post it so we can get all the games down and not miss them.

[pils]

I'm not gonna make stuborn people do what they don't want to do.
If it means activity, we will have it with both servers, on both forums.

Me, you(AFO),mic, and gig shouldn't have a hard time keeping everything running smooth, if we are active enough.
