A tournament to celebrate the first patch of 2014 - Such prize! Saturday 18th Jan!

400 to 600 is mostly about weird acu rush play. Especially with the imba repair bots we have now. Should be 600 to 800

This is right, it will lead to boring and one dimensional games

I Agree, but I think a match had to be about 40 minutes or something like that, you can't control it exactly unless you look at the stats after 40 min. Maybe there can be some rules that we have to follow that wil prevent the one dimensional games.


EDIT:
Just a simple question from now, its 2 hours and 30 min till games start right? Do you have to be in the chat by then or do the games start then?

Correct. Games start in a little over 2 hours from now.

You'll want to be in the IRC chat to get organized and matched up.

ok thnx

The standard accepted planet (that i've used before) is a 700r, low height, and average water height.

Keeps the game brief, but also opens up multiple avenues for gameplay.

I know it is full. Please add me to reserve slots. Name seinnuB.

Thanks.

So the rules for planet sizes and system structure have been finalized and updated on the spreadsheet.

Take a look and be sure any system that you create for official play is compliant with this setup!

Game is up for GodJesus and me. My name is bilbo Swaggins

Didn't put up a good game, but this was fun. I'd love to see this sort of thing organized more often. Also, has anyone else noticed a bug where sometimes holkins wont shoot? They have view and it's been a while since they last shot, but they just sit there. It's not minimum range either, am I missing something? They haven't implemented needing metal to shoot yet have they?

I don't know what you mean by one denominational, but it does force you to majorly respond in a specific way. As long as replicating strategy isn't the only valid response then the tactic is okay.

Thanks for getting the tourny set up. Was interesting to watch since everyone had a unique build order/ fighting style

Thank you to all the contestants, and to the casters and officiators who helped to run the tournament. Sadly I was unable to watch any of the matches live as I was forced to be away for most of the evening, but I got back in time to watch the end of the final game and it was one of the most intense games of PA I've ever watched. I'll be going back to watch a load tomorrow.

Congratulations to the tournament winner, Godde, and to the runner-up, Matiz. Please contact me via PM to collect your prizes! You're now both rich shibes!

Are there vods to watch somewhere? =o And grats godde!

Also what are the gentleman's rules mentioned on the doc?

Congrats to Godde, fantastic final. Matiz really gave him a run for the money. The other games they spawned a bit close to eachother but thankfully the final match had some nice spaced out spawns.

Thanks to the sponsers for making it happen, and the people taking part, and zaphod for casting with your sidekick Meta

Congrats Godde nice win.
Gotta give it to Matiz though for holding on so long T2 flak is really really good
