I have read, and agree with the rules of this event.
------------------------
<If you wish to be considered for sign up you should include ALL this info in your post. including and especially "I have read, and agree with the rules of this event." >



[Event rules and details follow:]


This will be a ladder event, original concept by Tael.


This is a Grand Tournament consisting of 16 members fighting their way up the ladder to the top, A player will start in a small "Frigate" class ship and work their way up through each opposing member ultimately to the Dreadnought class... Then the final battle, Dread Verses Dread winner takes the grand prize of 1000 Prestige, 1 Month of free playtime, and a rare enhancement(~). There will also be smaller consolation prizes for the ones who make it to the final rounds.(~1)...

    -----Rules:-----


  • The event will be ran by Shigernafy and myself. No one is to fire upon or destroy us. This will result in disqualification.

  • Ships Permitted:
    -ICC-
    Frigate Class - All Frigate Ships.
    Destroyer Class - Missile or Combat Destroyer
    Cruiser Class - Missile or Heavy Cruiser
    Dreadnought Class - Combat Dread...

    -UGTO-
    Frigate Class - All Frigate Ships.
    Destroyer Class - Gunboat or Picket Destroyer
    Cruiser Class - Battle or Missile Cruiser
    Dreadnought Class - Fleet Carrier or Agincourt Carrier...

    -K'Luth-
    Frigate Class - All Frigate Ships.
    Destroyer Class - Stinger or Shell Destroyer
    Cruiser Class - Parasite or Scarab Cruiser
    Dreadnought Class - Ganglia...

    Permitted ships subject to change before event is posted...


  • - The Tournament will consist of 16 players facing off 1 on 1 to the death...(*) Each player will face an even ship(*1) rising up the tier until only 1 remains.

  • - The ladder of ships will contain Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, and the final tier Dreadnoughts.

  • - There will be a grand prize of 1000 Prestige, 1 Month of free playtime, and a rare enhancement(~) and smaller consolation prizes for the final and semi-final contestants( Loser of the Dreadnought match gets the 2nd place prize: 250 prestige, 14 days playtime, 1 enhancement(~); Losers of the Cruiser matches get the 3rd/4th place prize: 100 prestige, 7 days playtime(~) Winners of course get to move on to the next round). - There will also be a Bonus Prize for any captured ship ( 2 Ship Capture points will be added to your release profile for any round won by capture.. )

  • - The matches will take place over a period of two days, each ladder of 8 will battle though per day and the final match will take place on the 2nd day.

  • - Only sign up if you have sufficient rank for all ships. >Admiral (*2)

  • - Each match will be of opposing factions.(*3)

  • - No ships may have enhancements attached, enhanced ships will be disqualified.

  • - (BETA INFO) The event WILL be held in DarkSpace's Beta Server ( pluto.darkspace.net ).. You can go to the beta homepage and click the "Beta Profile Transfer" Link below the RoC and Dev Log links. This will copy your rank from your release account to beta so you can fly the same ships.(*4)... Your release profile and prestige will remain unaffected. Also, make sure you have Beta installed, and updated, this can be a lengthy process for some so, the sooner the better.

  • - Interference is not allowed... Any ship to interfere may be subject to a kick by any local moderator watching the tournament.(*5)...

  • - Point Jumping is permitted within your opponents sensor range, roughly 3-4k GUs more than 5,000 GU is a disqualify-able Jump and is considered a Forfeit, - SubLight Cannot be used to excede the 5000GU limit it is the same as jumping out and considered a forfeit...

  • - When you sign up you will be assigned a faction, you may leave a preferred faction, however you are not guaranteed to get it.

  • - If you capture your opponent it is considered a technical knock out and you will advance to the next round, so don't forget your elite infantry!

    - As a side note if you Self Destruct to kill your opponent and you are successful it is counted as a win and you will move on to the next round.

    - If you capture your opponent, 2 points will be added to your "ships captured" field of your release profile as a consolation prize for a TKO!



    -----Notes:-----


    (
    ~1 - Loser of the Dreadnought match gets the 2nd place prize: 250 prestige, 14 days playtime, 1 enhancement(~); Losers of the Cruiser matches get the 3rd/4th place prize: 100 prestige, 7 days playtime(~) Winners of course get to move on to the next round.)

    (
    ~ - Prizes HAVE changed. Have received admin approval.)

  • Notes Regarding Ships Permitted:
    After testing over the past few days I found a weakness in ICC shields, the weakness is most present in ICC Dreadnoughts. Thus I have lowered the class of the UGTO and K'Luth ships, for the Dreadnoughts, to Sub-Combat... This may change pending farther testing with ICC shielding, or any updates.

  • (*: -More or less depending on sign ups...)

  • (*1: -Each ship vs ship battle will be two ships the of same class (assault classes are forbidden unless both players agree to an assault match up...)

  • (*2: -Admiral is the rank required for combat and sub-combat classes dreadnoughts, if you are a Vice Admiral, you may be assigned UGTO with the either the Fleet or Agincourt Carrier Dreads, if a slot in UGTO is unavailable, you may not be able to join unfortunately...)

  • (*3: -Any member may be asked to change faction depending on the lineup...)

  • (*4: -Ship layouts, in beta, have been altered from their release versions, they should be just as balanced if not more... )

  • (*5: -There is no guarantee that any moderator will be present at all...)

now if my calculations are correct this takes place at 12:00 AM for UK players on the first day and 11:00 PM on the second day.

now there i think is a 6 hour time difference from UK to the USA many of us in the uk are about to have their glass of milk and their cookie and go to sleep for work the next day. Now i would join up if u can put this to 10:00 PM for both days or at least put it to 11:00 PM that would be approx

16:00 hours = 4:00 PM USA + 6 hours = 10:00 PM UK
or
17:00 hours = 5:00 PM USA + 6 hours = 11:00 PM UK

either one of them times would be ok for me so with out further adue

Barring any unforeseen events, I sign up to be the Staff On Duty at the time - I'll be present, adjudicating any disputes, judging (with JBud, obviously) any disputes or debates, and providing crowd control as best I can.

If for some reason I can't make it, I'll do my best to get alternate coverage.

This is a prime example of a bad sign-up. I would like to thank Pakhos.

There is two things wrong here, 1: He decided for a second option he chose a faction not part if this event, no real big deal, it just wont happen.

He also didn't include the VERY important disclaimer I am requiring for any considered sign-up (* I have read and agree with the rules of this event *) - Same goes for All Under Heaven, if you're missing this, it's a problem.

While disclaimer is a problem, you can decide that you want to be in one faction or not play, likely, you will get your choice for a first round but inevitably you will probably be asked to change faction at some point in the tournament. It is an unfortunate part of tournaments that occur when you have 3 factions, different players that cannot face their own faction, and the likely chance that they will end up against one another.


--------------------------------------------

On an unrelated note, the Prizes have increased!

Grand Prize is now: 30 Days playtime, 1000 Prestige, and 1 Enhancement.

Secondary Prize is now: 14 Days playtime, 250 Prestige, and 1 Enhancement.

Third place prizes are now: 7 Days playtime, and 100 Prestige.

TKO Consolation prize: 2 points per ship capture added to your release profile.


Event Roster updated.

==================================
Player: Grand Admiral dj42 {C?} [Evil Empires, Inc]

Preferred Faction: K'luth

Second Option: UGTO (8 year Kluth player)

I have read and agree with the rules of this event.
==================================

"Interference is not aloud." (aloud=allowed)

I wish this happened back in my prime, but I'd really enjoy participating as K'luth.

================================
================================
Questions:
================================
================================
How do we handle the "battleground"?

Is the battle in very deep space to keep us away from planets/gas giants/stars etc?

And if so, I assume there will be a supply ship on hand to get all combatants to 100% before the battle begins?

How do we deal with interference? AI or otherwise?

How far can you travel sub-light away from your enemy as k'luth? Or irrespective of faction?

Do SD-kills count as a tie or a win?

Can the 5Kgu limit be repealed if your enemy is running away from you at high speed?

Who is judging? Other than Shig.

Can you swap weapons? Or does that fall under "no enhancements"?

Is there a time limit on the battle before a "Draw" is declared?

=========================================
Also, formal request for the following players to sign up:
=========================================

GothThug
Jack
Josef
Sheng
Sauur
xTx
Quistis
Faustus
HellGremlin
Warren
Veronw
and a few others.

If I'm going out in the first round, I want some competition and familiar faces.

-------------------------------------------------
As an aside, I think Faction Preference ought to be determined by sign-up date on the account you're playing with. So if a person wants UGTO and another wants UGTO, and one member signed up in 2004 and the other signed up in 2008, the person with the 2004 sign up gets UGTO, the other gets his secondary pick.

Time signed up is the only fair benchmark, since the prestige growth rate has changed over the years.

Questions:

How do we handle the "battleground"?

"Well, At the moment the plan is to meat at Rogen's Rift Gate in the Begginers area, unless we get a map change"

Is the battle in very deep space to keep us away from planets/gas giants/stars etc?

"Yes."

And if so, I assume there will be a supply ship on hand to get all combatants to 100% before the battle begins?

" Everyone will be changing ship after each battle. When you bring your ship make sure it is fully stocked with inf and loaded with ammo for battle."
How do we deal with interference? AI or otherwise?

"AI: AI, afaik, are not present at the area surrounding Rogen's Gate.
Otherwise: Shigernafy will be around to issue kicks to anyone who interferes, his judgment ultimately, however so I'll let him answer this one for certainty"


How far can you travel sub-light away from your enemy as k'luth? Or irrespective of faction?

" I will be monitoring the K'Luth faction, They must stay within the 4 - 5 thousand GU area - I will make a note in the rules."

Do SD-kills count as a tie or a win?

"Good question, I was going to judge by the first death to show up as a message, in-case of a photo finish as it were, however if it is a SD kill, I would say that would be a valid kill - I will make a note in the rules."

Can the 5Kgu limit be repealed if your enemy is running away from you at high speed?

"I'm not ignoring this question I need you to rephrase as I dun get wut ur askin "

Who is judging?

"Shigernafy, and I"

Can you swap weapons? Or does that fall under "no enhancements"?
"Yes, you can. No, It does not fall under enhancements."

Is there a time limit on the battle before a "Draw" is declared?

"No."


Since you are an early sign up I will put you in K'Luth, however if you are faced up against another K'Luth member, one of you may be asked to swap factions, Though I did place you in a good position you are likely to stay K'Luth, but it all depends on the winners.

-Roster Updated.

If a K'luth is cloaked, it's possible for the enemy to inadvertently exceed the 5000gu threshold... therefore, while no one has broken a rule knowingly, it may require a jump in excess of 5000gu to reacquire the enemy. That's gist of my question.

As for a supply ship being on hand, if we're allowing point jumps and the battles last a long time, we need to be refueled prior to battle. Running out of fuel to point jump could be very bad, indeed.

How about a time limit on the battle? Is it unlimited?

You've got K'luth repair drones, shield and armor repair, etc.... time of battle has an impact on the tactics involved. If it's a 10 minute fight to the death, that's different than a 5 minute or 1 hour. For example.

An exception can be made, however the K'Luth ship is responsible for making sure it stays within this limit.

The event will be taken place near the Rogen's Rift Gate. Any ship to spawn there would not have to jump to get to the fight location. so just make sure you have fuel when you spawn. A spectator in a supply or station may be on hand just in-case.

there is no limit to the length of the battles.

for future reference, there is a thread for questions and feedback I'm trying to keep this one just for signups
