CANCELED Battlestar Galactica

by **seamusvibe** on Sat Apr 26, 2008 1:43 pm

WooHoo, my first tournament!

Heres how it works:

Battlestar Galactica!
Are you a human or a cylon?

We will find out!

All games will be:
Standard
Sequential
Flat Rate
Unlimited
Fog

1st round: 76 players
Everyone will play 8 Thoughts. This will determine if you are human or cylon. The first out will be cylon, the next human, etc…. As they are listed you will fill in from the bottom. Once your allegiance has been determined, most of you will move on. But, there are always casualties of war. The first 16 out will be dead. 8 humans, 8 cylons. If you are human, your friends and family will morn you. If you are cylon you will be born again, just not in this game. NOTE: Eliminations will be based on the round you get knocked out. If more than 1 person is knocked out in that round, I will look at the time stamp to determine who is eliminated.
2nd round: 60 players
Space! You are trying to find your way back to earth! Who will be the ones to finally get to call it their home? You must find it first! 10 games of 6. 3 humans against 3 cylons. Sadly, less than half of you will survive!

3rd round: 24 players
Solar System! Earth! Here we are, but who will control it? Who can call it their home? We shall see. 4 games of 8 players. 4 cylons vs. 4 humans.

4th round: 16 players
World 2.1! We are down to 2 games of 8. Each game having 4 cylons and 4 humans. The battle for Earth nears its end.

5th round 6 players
Classic! Who will lay claim to earth? Will it be human or cylon?

Im in but just 1 question if we win the first round we might still be out?

by **seamusvibe** on Sat Apr 26, 2008 1:55 pm

winners will be added to the list of people going on to the next round. Winners will always advance. it is possible for someone who finished 2nd to be knocked out while an 8th place finish might advance. I wanted to keep the humans and cylons even as the tourney went on, this was the only way i could think of.

by **killmanic** on Sat Apr 26, 2008 1:57 pm

this seems like a pretty bad way since even if its random it will piss off alot of people.

by **seamusvibe** on Sat Apr 26, 2008 2:04 pm

well, it's based on when you lose. hang on as long as you can to advance. Do you have a better idea on how to keep it even? I'm open to suggestions.

by **killmanic** on Sat Apr 26, 2008 2:08 pm

i would say change it to 64 people, and have it so 1/2 at random of the first people are out is out and in 1/2 the games the second one is human and in the other 1/2 the other is the other thing, so it would be 30 and 30 after, also how will you be cutting people in the second round?

by **seamusvibe** on Sat Apr 26, 2008 2:18 pm

I think I'm going to keep it like it is.

It may be flawed, but the idea is that its a war, each game going on is a battle. the firsts to fall in the total war are out. and will not make it to the next battle.

all rounds are determined the same way. the firsts to be eliminated are dead.

I am in. Just assign me a name.

im in, but in responce to this, why not add up the points and drop the 8 lowest of each point wise? (or place finishing wise) then if there is a tie, make them random?

Not sure what you mean by points. There is only 1 game (for each person) in each round. I am doing it by what place you finish. I will first look at the round you got knocked out in, and if there are ties, the it will go to timestamp. I will inform everyone when you are "in the money" and will move on to the next round. does that help any?
