PvP Tournament - Alexander - 11-10-2006
It's been a long while since we had one, and I was considering holding one for former-AE before we left the server. But well, having left the server, a tournament seemed silly then. And now, an AE-Tourny seems more silly since we have all of 3 people or so. Not including myself. I did plan to attempt a full-server tourny if the AE one went well. Seems I won't get that test phase, but I will attempt a full-server tournament. We had a lot of fun at the last one, right? So why not?
Here's how it'll work.
I'm just going to go ahead and say enter multiple chars if you want. My reasoning? I can't prove who's char belongs to who. No matter if someone "knows" or not, there's no undisputed proof like IPs that I can nail. So no point trying to fight that one. As an aside, I also, will personally, not participate. That would be silly.
Here's the catch, if you're not there for your match, too bad. If you're matched against yourself, one is getting eliminated.
The match-ups will be selected entirely at random. All the people registered will be given a number according to the order they registered. I'll then enter that number into a dice-roller program, and thus come up with the brackets. So if you're a 1/1 novie against a 99/70 trans class. Tough luck. Most people are within similar range of each other by now anyway.
It will be best 2 out of 3 matches, elimination style.
I won't allow healing items of any kind. Unless you're an alchemist / biocreator using the SKILL throw potion. Potting, fruits, any other form of healing items are prohibited. If I catch you using one, you're eliminated regardless of the outcome of the match. This includes blue potions(again, unless alchemist using the skill).
Other forms of items are generally welcome. Like EDP bottles, acid bottles, traps, these are all things used by a class skill. Feel free. Use common sense.
ASPD pots are fine. This was a hot issue before on whether or not they should be allowed. I understand both sides of the argument, but I'm going to have to say they're ok.
No outside buffs. If you can't bless yourself, I don't want to see you blessed. More common sense, really.
During the fight, remain inside the ring. If you are knocked outside the ring by a skill or otherwise, you will be counted down and if time runs out, eliminated. I understand people could use a cheap tactic, such as firewalling or icewalling the opponent outside of the ring. In this case, I will not count out.
Spectators are welcome, but please, be respectful to those busy with their match, and for the love of god, make my life easier if you really want to do this. Honestly, I don't have GM powers. I can't zap people who disrupt. A lot of this is going to be based on the good of the community. If things get out of hand, I guess I'll have to cancel and we'll call it a failed attempt. But, lets try to avoid that and make it enjoyable for everyone.
And finally, the goodies. Keep in mind, this is entirely a player-run event. The GMs have zero to do with this. Nothing. Zip. Nadda. If they want to help me out, that'd be nice. With crowd control or prizes or what not. But this right here is coming straight out of my pocket.
If GMs will do so, damage viewing will be disabled.
1st prize?? 35 OBBs + 500,000 zeny + maybe something else...
2nd prize??15 OBBs + 250,000 zeny

Interested? Respond to the thread and list character name, class, level. Example.
Alexander
Lord Knight
99/70
I'm currently thinking I'll hold the actual tournament Friday the 24th, at 7 PM central time. If something comes up(because yes, I do have a life) I'll have to change it. I'll keep registration open until the 22nd. I will need time to draw up the brackets, after all. It's about 2 weeks to register. If not enough people register, it'll be cancelled. After all, I can only do so much.

GM-Mystra

I'l be there to help you out Alexander, and I'l zap a few if need be. Guess I can't participate though... to bad!
RE: PvP Tournament - Alexander - 11-10-2006
New rule: GM accounts can't register.
Thanks, Mystra.
RE: PvP Tournament - Général_Argos - 11-10-2006
Hmm good idea that gms are gonna help on this, cuz someone could cheat with using fishes.
What about panacea, green pots, green herb, anodine, authoritative badge and items like that?
Krimlin
Palladin
95/65
RE: PvP Tournament - silvanel - 11-10-2006
problem with tourny lie these, is time ... since usualy gm gotta check the character, like Krimlin just stated, fish doesnt show up when you use it. So that is a problem.
My proposition,
since alexander and gm mystra will be both there,
Both alexander and mystra should make 1 party.
each of you invite 1 contestant.
Why?
To check with party life bar, if they use some kind of healing items.
RE: PvP Tournament - Former-GM-Hermes - 11-10-2006
I will be there also and try to help out. Silv has a good idea btw. Hope this will go well Alex. I suggest you annouce it in-game also since many people dont use the forums.
RE: PvP Tournament - Alexander - 11-10-2006
Green herbs / authoritive badges / ect, I'm going to say none of those.
I also have never used the fishing system yet, or the fishes. So I was unaware that they were able to be used without any detection to other players.
That is a very good idea though, to solve the situation. I also believe partys wouldn't be needed. From what I understand, GMs can see all player's HP regardless. Unless Mystra needs to have a certain amount of GM power for that.
RE: PvP Tournament - Eldakar - 11-10-2006
Shame, I cant participate.
RE: PvP Tournament - GM-Pandora - 11-10-2006
Nice initiative
GMs can provide a check before the players are warped (check for fish or any other illegal items). GMs also do see hp of players and of course we can mute or jail any people who disturb.
I'll think of prizes to add to your own. How about a prize for winning a match?
I'll let you decide which map you want to use, any map is ok (we'll need to check for exp loss and gvg), we can warp if need be.
