Pre-Mudquake Nostalgia Tournament (Reward: Lightning Ward or Stone Golem)

[Realist]

A lot of people here believe that TAO was funner before the mudquake existed. Even more wish that the golem ambusher was never brought into this game. This is the tourn for such people, and anyone else wanting a fun game with somewhat different unit selection than normal gold.

This tourn is pretty easy to explain: No mudquake, no wisp, no ambusher, no assassin explosion allowed.

This tourn is still open! If you haven't signed up for the Saturday section of the tourn, you can still play on Sunday!

Time: Sunday 1:00 PM EST
Place: Revelations
Reward: Extra Lighning Ward or Stone Golem on Revelations account of your choice.

Rules:

1. No wisps or golem ambushers may be contained in your form.
2. You may have an assassin or mud golem in your form, but you may not use its special move.
3. No drops allowed.
4. There are no setup restrictions.
5. This tourn will be single elimination, with byes distributed randomly when necessary until finals.
6. 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 count as a draw.
7. 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.
8. The tournament will continue 4 hours, until 8:00 PM EST. At that point, I'll make a decision upon whether to continue it then or postpone the rest of the matches to a later, agreed upon date. This decision will be made on the basis of what the remaining players think.
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. You may sign up for either the Saturday or Sunday time. The winners of each time will play each other to determine the final victor.
11. Singup on this thread. I won't close signup until 12:30 PM Sunday, so please don't signup unless you know you can be here and stay at least the 4 first hours.

Turtles rejoice. I'll check to see if I can make it.

I can't be sure of staying for 4 hours (which would take me to 1am my time), so looks like I'm out.

Didn't you say you'd run some tournaments that people living somewhere other than the Americas could enter?

Especially since these matches could take several hours each, since turtles are likely to predominate (without quake, furgons can hold rushes off easily).

Something like this needs to be run over several days. You're not going to fit it into 1 night.

Note the option for postponement in the rules.

When are good times for such people? I've been asked to hold tourns both earlier and later; I can't possibly satisfy everyone.

[Cavour]

Gaaaaah. I have work 4-9 Saturday! Why does my schedule never work with the tournaments I really want to enter??

[DARKSMILE]

Man! I can't do it saturday. I have to be in a play with my brother. I also really wanted to enter.

[Dragoen Link]

Its really sad to see three people in a row who can't enter.

[TricksterJester]

Bah, I can't make it. I made plans with my friends this saturday.

[Dove]

I'll *probably* be able to enter. I'll edit this post when I'm sure.

[dirka dirka]

Good luck everybody, I'm sitting this one out(not like it matters ;-).

All three of us would have most likely have been able to enter if it had been held without a solid starting/finishing time on that one night.

Make it start on Saturday, sure, but play it over the week. Otherwise you lose half your potential signups.

Ummm... mudquake came before furgon, in case you don't remember.

this tourny should really be without the shrub guy as well.

I might be able to join. I've never wanted to join a tourny more (except for the whole furgy thing), but I have to work Saturday, as per the usual arrangement. However, also as per the usual arrangement, I'm the only one around on Sat., so I can get away with doing a whole heck of a lot more gaming than during the rest of the week.

Yeah... as I remember it, mudquake was a direct result of the furgon...
