The rules of this tournament are terrible and only bad players would ever use these rules, therefore I am boycotting it and I urge everyone else to do so too.

EDIT: nevermind I decided I win tourney ok : )

I endorse the Boston Fruit Party due to the terrible injustice of this line;

"First turnblocking (rushing) is NOT allowed. No attacks on enemy in the first turn at all (also not with more units). Doing this in the game will lead in a automaticly loss for that match. "

Additional rule: First turnblocking (rushing) is NOT allowed. No attacks on enemy in the first turn at all (also not with more units). Doing this in the game will lead in a automaticly loss for that match.

This is a good and necessary rule.
In addition, I agree with almost all other settings, but not with the starting funds.
Meanwhile, I support Ironails opinion that Europe+ and 10k make a game much fairer, compared to the settings of the last tournament. So since this one is already Europe+ you should change it to 10k.

I didn't expect a other reaction of you (fruit), it's not about the rules; but about who created the tournament that looks like a problem for you. You can also put a suggestion here, so maybe we can change something, in stead of trolling again. The rules are not much different then previous tournaments so i don't understand the problem (if any). Only the map changed, it's 3mins, and first TB is not allowed. Also in previous tournament is was not 'gentle' to do first turn blocking, so it wasn't really used. If you don't want to participate in this tournament, fine with me. Let the other players decide for themselves.

Please, don't use this forum for any personal issue's with me; if you have a problem, PM me in game. If there are more players having problems with the rules; let me know, everything can be changed.

I also got some PM's from other players in game that wanted 10k. Therefore I changed it to 10k now; if there is anyone that wants 5k again, let me know.

If you don't like the rules then just don't play in the tournament. Don't make non constructive posts in this thread please.

Count me and my friend in!

TopHats and The Father

Team name: PWNHAMMER (and it has to be in CAPS for intimidation purposes )

Anyone want to be on my team? I just want to play for the fun really.

Team: THAI FIGHTERS

So what are the prizes for the winners? im curious

I might be able to get a buddy, we both suck but we can be a reserve team if nobody shows up.

Most likely the usual 1000+ sp and a nifty little trophy. Although since it's a autumn tourney, the trophy should have a sort of maple leaf in the background.

I think it's funny how TopHats wanted this tournament so bad, so Hug creates one and since he isn't a developer, this tournament is still player-made.
But the first thing TopHat asks is for the prizes. Sad.
Dude, this is a player-made tournament with not even enough registered teams now. You play it for the fun of competition. Probably Ivan didn't even notice it now, so how should there be any prizes? Not that hard to figure that out.

Ironail signing up with anyone who wants to be with me. I'm fairly decent and I have a bit of experience in europe+ 10K. It is fully up to my own discretion who I pick to be with me.

I know how to play almost every strat to an acceptable level, although I'm particularly good with Blitzkrieg, Guerilla Warfare, Iron Fist and Great Combinator. My only requirement is that our team name be "IRONAIL AND < partner name here > GO CAMPING"


@ Hugosch: Thanks for organising this. I was going to suggest allowing rushing, but this would no doubt lead to some confusion and a lot of angry people claiming that they were turnblocked when their opponent tried to rush.

Thx for your reply Iron! Allowing rushing, but not blocking in the first turn will lead to confusion. People don't know when the can or can't attack, that is why i didn't allow first turn attacks at all. As most players are ok with this, i think the rule will stand. As requested by many; i changed the 5k rule to 10k.

I need a partner ,

I think Cow had a great idea about having permanent teams playing ladder matches which I supported.
