I'm going to have to give AW another shot. And besides, can I really turn down the prizes that are available?

Okay, signups are CLOSED. We're ready to get started!

I've randomized the list of players and separated them into two groups.  Both groups will play one match on the same 6 player map.  They are as follows:

GAME 1

   1. Toast (5000Cows)
   2. 2dogs (2dogsandaDJ)
   3. Kenku (Kenku)
   4. Kai (KaiAdin)
   5. Dragyn (Dragynwulf)
   6. Trask (Trask)

GAME 2

   7. Clemax
   8. Zavier (2computer1)
   9. Tvorsk
  10. Medik (Medik Jackal)
  11. Virmir (Virmir)
  12. Draykin (Draykin)

Toast will be setting up Game 1. I'll be setting up Game 2.  Look for invites and join the appropriate game!

PRIZES and FINALS

The winner of each preliminary match will receive a sketch as described in the first post and move on to the finals.

The second place winner of each preliminary match will also move on to the finals. "Second place" just means you were the last player eliminated.

The finals match will be a four player Fog of War battle.  More details coming.

Rules for Preliminaries:

Banned COs: Grit, Hachi, Sensei, Javier, Colin, Kanbei, Sturm, Von Bolt, Hawke
Banned units: None
Lab units: None

Invites have been sent for both games.  If you're in Game 1 and did not get it, contact Toast.  If you're in Game 2, contact me.

Links will be posted to the games once they start so people can watch.

Edit: Here's Game 2: http://awbw.amarriner.com/game.php?games_id=143485

Okay, based on my observations in-chat and logs I've been reviewing, more than one person is taking this competition way too far, to the point they are being disruptive in the chat and annoying to other players.

These individuals will most certainly not be allowed in future tournaments.

UNLESS they perform a complete 180 degree turn around right now.

These people are fully capable of recognizing their behavior and changing it immediately, without my contacting them personally.

This is just a fun, relaxed game, played at a slow relaxed pace in a casual, friendly environment.  If anyone has any comments on this, please contact me privately. (I.e. NOT publicly in-chat).

Thanks much, and let's continue to have fun.

sooo... I think 2dogs Lost cause he hadent played within the time interval XP though does down time count in the countdown?

[Virmir]

Downtime does count, but it seems it gives you a grace period if your time runs out while the site is down. (Probably "accidental", as in, until the kicking script next runs.)

I don't think the site was down for the past several days though.  People neeeeed to pay attention and play their turns, or they won't be allowed in future tournaments, sadly.

[Virmir]

Due to the unique situation in game #2 (namely, myself dominating the match, second place falling due to the person who was allied with me, and me taking out the final two players in a single turn), I'm making the following ruling:

Both Medik and Clemax win a sketch.

You may both post your requests here in this thread. Please see the first page for guideline for this sketch. (Blast it... see below. )

Medik will advance alongside me to the finals.

Yes, Medik technically advances due to his cease-fire agreement with me through most of the game.  I said I would not do this, but I messed up. Sorry!

Big matches like this tend to make such agreements unavoidable (and then I feel bad because I don't want to "break them" and cause the other guy to lose because of it).  And with situations where 2nd place also means you can advance, we get situations like this.  To prevent this in the future, I will structure the preliminary matches to have lower numbers of players, i.e. 2-4 per game and where only the winner counts.

There will be more games and more chances for doodle-prizes in the future.  Thanks for playing, folks.

* Virmir waaaaaaaits for game #1 to finish now.

* Virmir waaaaaaaits for game #1 to finish now.

You and me both >.>

[Virmir]

Okay, wow, I just totally realized I screwed up the above as soon as I left the chat and my head hit the pillow *facepaws*

The rules state only FIRST place gets the sketch, and first and second advance to the finals.

So no, if Medik got second, he does not get a sketch.

Aaaaand I guess I will give my sketch to Clemax as the consolation prize. THERE! 1 A.M. justice. *goes back to bed*

[Virmir]

Kai's doodle.



Clem finally got back to me, so his tomorrow.  FINALS MATCH starts soon.

[KaiAdin]

MEwhahaha! X3 YAY finals!

[Virmir]

Aaaand, Clemax's!



It probably won't make much sense unless you were in #MKGuild in 2008 or so.

[Stormkit]

XD I remember that! It was hilarious how absolutely little use Morgan ever got out of those mega tanks. For all that he was good at that game... he was really bad at that game. ^.^
