~~~THIS IS NOT A SIGN UP THREAD!!!~~~

Alright, I posted my idea in the TAL thread, but not much people said anything about it. So, I'm going to say it here. Anyway, I just wanted to see what everyone thinks of my idea.

Anyone remember Realist's Pre-Mudquake Nostalgia Tournament? My tournament will be similar to his, but in turtle games! No mudquakes in turtle games? Sounds interesting, eh? One more thing, it's going to be old school, so no new units or special attacks will be allowed too!

Here are rules for my tournament:

1. No mudquake allowed!
2. No wisps, golem ambushers, or berzerkers may be allowed in your form.
3. No assassin or furgon special attacks may be allowed.
3. Everyone's forms must be in the form of a turtle with stone golem in it.
4. Stone golem must be in anywhere in the backrow or 2nd corner.
5. No ranged units or mages including DSM may be allowed to be in the front row. Mages must be in the last 3 rows.
6. This tournament will be single elimination, with byes distributed randomly when necessary until finals.
7. You must take a screenshot upon winning, you don't need to post this unless your win is disputed but you must take it. If you do not and the win is disputed, the game will have to be replayed.
8. The first draw of any matchup will be replayed; the second will go to the player who went second in the second match. Make sure you screenshot who went first.
9. Anyone not following any of these rules will be immediately disqualified, even if it was an innocent mistake. The rules exist for a reason. Know them.
10. I will allow 7 days per round. If you do not get your game in by then; the player that is the least active will be d/q'ed immediately. No questions asked. No bullshit. Don't sign up if you're going to end up being inactive or don't have much time.

(I copied some of the rules from Realist's Pre-Mudquake Tournament thread. Copying and pasting is easier! :p )

The reason I wanted it to be a turtle tourney is because we already have too many god damn freestyle tournaments. I want to keep the hardcore turtlers entertained.

One more thing. When I do host this tourney. I would like it to be pretty big. Big enough to get it TAL certified.

I will use the seedings from Grand Slam: Turtle Open to help me match up the opponents fairly.

I think we need to discuss the turtle rules in this kind of tournament. I'm open for any suggestions!

Once I get everything ready for the tournament to get started, I would like to host it by May 1st if it's possible.

Then I have a suggestion, not sure how it went around here but while I was active in Legends pre-mudquake Back Row turtles were mainly the only kind of Turtles. Second Rows were generally thought of as noobish and usually disallowed in most games. If that was the case around FPS too then you might want to implement a Back Row Stone only rule to add to the nostalgia feature. Which is the point of the tourny.

I've seen a lot of 2nd corner turtles when I was a noob in 2004. But, it was after the pre-mudquake thing. So, I don't really know. That's why I was hoping someone like Bludhoundz or Hatchet Warrior or anyone that was here during the pre-mudquake. Also, did you notice I said anywhere in the back row? It can mean center turtle as well.

Snowolf, drops will not be allowed. I forgot to add that to the rules. :p

You're right. He shouldn't be allowed to join. :p

Sorry skev, you can't sign up. :p

Sorry Shinny, my reading has obviously followed the example of my form.

No sign-ups yet. I'm pretty sure this is just hypothetically speaking.

Let me know when you decide to run this, I'd definitely be in. :)

I won't let you in, maggy. That way the other turtlers would have a chance! Haha. Just kidding.

Meh, I've decided to put this on hold until the next TAL season. There are too many tournaments going on. More will come up later. No point in hosting this, since half the players will end up being inactive.

If I recall, the last time we had a tournament exactly like this, it went terribly. Ask Realist.

Lord Shinok
04-23-2008, 02:57 PM
Because of the furgy-whoring?

This would be a very fun tourny. Alot of people mainly used back row turts before the mud quake, but not all. Some weren't even near a wall >.>

Looks like i'll have to wait until next TAL season to beat all of you guys.

Pah! I may suck at this modern warfare business, but the Trophy Turt shall show some of the new kiddies how it's done, I promise to give you a small challenge if we meet.

Ah you suck shiny!! I was excited about this tourney. :mad:

I would run this before this season is over, but then it probably wouldn't get TAL certified and there are already too many tournaments coming up.

So hold it outside of the TAL season to see if it does any good. If it does, have the 2nd one during the TAL season.

I think I will just make it Old-School Turtle Tourney. Just no wisp, berzerker, and golem ambusher.

well, most ppl dont use a zerker or ga in turts, so basically gonna be replacing one unit. I mean ill participate, but it isnt that much different.

Lord Shinok

Actually, it would be much different. It means no standard turtle. A lot of the turtlers use standar turtle. Also, the stoney can be ANYWERE in the back row. It could be a center turtle.

I've been here way longer you have been here and old school turtle was a lot different. Everyone had their own turtle sets. It was more challenging and interesting.
