Grand Duel of Luck

abyaly · 05-04-2005, 12:58 PM

I've noticed that most of your tournaments are trying to measure TAO skill, when that is only about 2/3 of the game. This tournament is meant to measure luck, prescience, and telepathic manipulation of fate.

Here is how it works:
There are 3 legal formations for this tourney. You may change out your formation between games.

Code:

-----K-----     -----E-----     --P-----P--
-----------     -----------     -----------
-----------     -----------     -----------
 ---------       ---------       --------- 
  -------         -------         -------

You may have noticed that these formations make for very one-sided games when set against each other--that was my grand scheme. So, if you can predict the formation your opponent will use against you (and use the one that beats it), you will win. If you both happen to pick the same one, fate takes over. Do I have any volunteers? You can either volunteer willingly or be volunteered by someone else; it's all the same to me.

It should be knight, chanty, and scout. 2 pyros can beat a knight if they get a few blocks. Scout always beats chanty so long as he doesn't move and shoot.

Anyway, nice sarcastic thread.

*close*

You, 2 pyros can not beat a knight that runs around to their back; count it up - it takes 5 hits for them to kill him and 2 each for him to kill them; then factor in recovery times and walking distance. Press the issue and I'll PM you purdy drawlings of each turn's move.

Also, a scout could try to press it's back to a wall, and sheerly out-luck the knight.
The scout could lose the enchantress if they make the -most common- scout vs chanty mistake.

Please think things out before trying to correct other people.

Additionally, this is NOT a sarcastic thread. I expect people to sign up for this, even if I have to drag them to this thread by their collar.

So it's a rock scissors paper contest?

Toss me in. I'll bribe the devil for more luck.

Precisely. It requires keen psychological insight.

The near nil benefits of using that system do not outweigh the costs.

DARKSMILE · 05-04-2005, 06:53 PM

abyaly · 05-04-2005, 07:48 PM

That will be decided when the tourney has people in it.
