The War of the Ring [Scenario I]

by **milner94** on Sat Oct 04, 2008 1:07 pm

This is a Middle Earth based tournament, in which players take the side of either Good or Evil and fight for their side. The players then take place in scenarios relevant to the story-line of The Lord of the Rings. Whichever team has the most points (awarded for the winning games) will win the tournament. Therefore this tournament has a large element of teamwork and as such will involve doubles, triples, quadruples and 1v1s only.

WARNING: This is a tournament for teamwork. It is expected that you communicate with your teammates to discuss tactics. Although not mandatory, it will make the game a more interesting experience.

Freemiums are welcome, and only need one slot.

All games will be Freestyle, reflecting the chaos of war.

Game settings for all scenarios will be Standard, Flat Rate, Chained, Sunny.

All games will (for obvious reasons) be played on the Middle Earth map.

The story-line will be based primarily on the films.

For games, players will be seeded to have the best players teamed up with the worst players etc. This will make games fairly evenly balanced in terms of skill.

Now pick Good or Evil, and help decide who will win the War of the Ring!

Current scenario: Scenario I - Weathertop
Good total score: 2
Evil total score: 1
