FFA TOURNEY

Hello, i was thinking of hosting a ffa tourney next week or this week friday night or the next day.(sad is that its a 1 vs 1 week in the 15.03.2014).There are chances that i wont be present at the tourney and il try to find som1 to host it instead of me.

Rules of the tourney:

1.Dont intentionally lag the game, or you will be eliminated from the tourney.

2.Clan mates will be manually placed far away from each other on the map or in different battles, so teaming up will be harder.

3.Standard map that i suggest is :KOlmogorov http://zero-k.info/Maps/Detail/7993
(i wait for more ideas regarding maps). The reason i select this map is because of the mex balancing and the chances each player has. What i mean is that every1 can eco and make big units, and stuff with those 3 mexes that he can overdrive.(Its a 10 player map)

4.Teaming up is allowed, with the condition that you must declare it while playing in game.(will be interesting to watch diplomacy at its best :D, careful not to team up with traitors!)

5.Please dont extend the game in case you can win it. Instantly kill the enemy if hes the last one and finish the game so we dont lose time.

6.Depending on the people that join the tourney there will have games up to 10 players fighting on the map. In case there are more then 20-30 players that join the tourney there will be 3 or more separate games running at the same time.

How the finals and semifinals will be:

1.The last 3 remaining players will go to the semifinals with the exception of the game winner who will go directly to the finals.
2.Regarding the other 6 players that are eliminated in the game, there will be another match where only one player(the winner) will be sent to the semifinals.
3.The semifinals will be like this:
a.The winner of that game will be sent to the finals
b.The remaining players will play 1 aditional battle with players in same category and the winer will go to the finals
4. I suggest the finals to be made in the next day, and it will go like this:
There will be as many games until a player wins a total of 3 games. When he does that hes declared Tourney Winner

So please write here "I WANT TO JOIN" so i will know how many players will be.(Curently i just want to knwo how many, so i know for sure if il start the tourney or not)
Aditional information:
As a reminder the standard map that contains all 10 players will be Kolmogorov. The semifinal map i think it will be sandcastles but i will want to let it to player choice, same for the 6 first eliminated player map.

In case there will be 30 players for example:
After the 3 matches the finalists and semifinalists will watch the 3 games where they will see the fights between the first 6 players that were eliminated in the game 1 , 2 and 3(18 players in total ,player switch possible). Winners of those matches will go to the semifinals and a semifinal will contain 4 players. So we will have 3 semifinal matches at the same time.

The 3 Semifinals matches and how it will be:
Winers goes to finals
All losers of the semifinals will have 1 extra match where they all play in one last game( there will be 9 players)and the winer will go to the finals.

So there will be a total of 7 finalists.

The Finals(will be a lot of games and i suggest it to happen in the next day after the tournament started)I remind that i say this from the perspective of 30 players joining the tourney
A)In the first match the winner will be able to eliminate 3 players from the first 5 players that died first.
B)There were be as many games possible until one of the 4 player has a 3 game win score.

Sorry for my bad english and i ask a dev to change the words in case i wrote them wrong. Hope you guys will enjoy it. Il wait for the subscribe. Please write ony here and be patience, first of all i just want to see how many players will want this tourney.

We add another rule: small units with no purpose and no building ability if a player has only this will be eliminated(detriment , starlight, nukes and so on are not included). Cloacked coms with 2 energy cells hiding and waiting to be the second or third last player that dies on map just to go in semifinals will be considered. I mean its a sneaky tactic...

Thats what i said, i want to see how many and then decide the maps. If there are at least 10 players il try to talk with all of them to play the map i mentioned. If not we will see :)

The rules sound a bit too open to interpretation.

You could try the less laggy and porcy ffa maps like Violence and Black Star. Generally I think it is a bad idea to have a single match with 10 players in. It could take a very long time to finish and may be difficult to organize.

Thats why i told about the rule Yogzototh that when you team up with a player you must say it in chat so all will know. When all know they will make theyir own teams to kill the first and second player who can win the game.

Regarding the less porcy maps...some of the 1 vs 1 players will play and 1800-1900 elo players that do excelent in ffa will die fast because of theyir brutal expansion and raid. I just want to give a chance to all. Kolmogorov is a good example where you can 50% porc and 50% raid or use tactical nukes for instant killing from long range.
With the rules that i mentioned people will be verry carefull at attacking the other player, they will all keep an eye for the biggest elo player and teaming up will make the game more interesting, once you see traitors :D.

the players that are near that "alliance"" will see the declaration of teaming up and thus they wont let the other enemy near them die to them or he will be next, so they will both team up against the other 2...Dont worry they will know how to make diplomacy

Because Yogzototh if players dont declare the 4-5 player alliance to kill the punny 5 remaning nabs it wont be fair.

quote: FFA it wont be fair it wont be fair it wont be fair

quote: the 4-5 player alliance to kill the punny 5 remaning nabs

And declaring an alliance would change this how? And when is that alliance supposed to be declared? On game start? When the first nab gets attacked? How the hell does that even work?


And man, the 4-5 player alliance thing... I dont think i have ever, ever seen such a thing in a FFA.
Its almost like you live in some illusionary world, where FFAs are fair, and players are smart enough to figure who to team up against, but not smart enough to do it without explicitly declaring an alliance.

There must be 1 match winner and 3 last remaining players. Thas why i wanted bigger map for more players, so teaming up will be harder and more problematic in case other people see it.
