Keep your friends close...ABANDONED (sorry everyone)
Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2007 7:35 pmKEEP UR ENEMIES CLOSER!!
so i had this great idea for a tourney...it's a little complicated, but bear with me
-first things first: all games will be sequential, escalating, and unlimited (no fog of war)
-32 people: 8 brackets of 4 people each, each one starts on the specified map...3 rounds, then a final (which works slightly differently)
-here's where it gets interesting: each round will consist of 3 doubles games (same map for the whole round) where a different person in ur bracket will be ur partner in each game...the 2 individuals who do the best will move on to the next round
-it will all be one game at a time, so non-premium members are encouraged to join
-u'll get 48 hours to join from when I send out the PM with ur game # and password...seeing as this format is somewhat complicated, please join in the order u r asked to join in...please keep it all honest
-tiebreakers (which are quite possible) will be determined as follows:
1) if a player has ever been eliminated in a game they won, that player loses the tiebreaker (unless all tied players have)
2) whoever controlled the most territory in the game where the TIED PLAYERS WERE PARTNERS...in case of a 3 way tie, each pair will be looked at individually, then together (if it's still tied)
- this is where strategy/sabatoge/betrayal could come in handy; if u outnumber ur opponents by enough, u could start attacking ur partner...so also be careful how much u fortify each other
-the top player in each bracket will choose which map they want in the next round (of the available options)...the other players will be placed semi-randomly in the remaining spots (avoiding players in previous brackets)

Alexander's Empire:
1. jennifermarie
