Re: Fire 2012 Tournament Sorry I have been busy this last few weeks , and now I have time to discuss
this with my fellow corpies ... we have decided to withdraw from the tourney. I was hoping we would be able to put a team together or join one. But since we are down to the wire .. I'll let it move on without us. I love this edit and know it will be enjoyable in the new twgs v2.17 The new death/loss limit and bugs removed will make the server of the future  Good luck and enjoy We will see you all next time Vid Kid/CareTaker _________________ TWGS V2 Vids World on Guam Port 2002 Telnet://vkworld.ddns.net:2002 Discord @ DiverDave#8374 Vid's World Discord Founding Member -=[Team Kraaken]=- Ka Pla  Winners of Gridwars 2010 MBN Fall Tournament 2011 winners Team Kraaken Undisputed Champions of 2019 HHT Just for showing up!

Re: Fire 2012 Tournament Current Teams as I know them:
The Mods Crosby Oso Helix maybe if he shows before Friday Team Killbillies T0yman Xanos Micro Kaus Cruncher Kind of lopsided here, and there’s still time for additional teams or players to sign up. All the names above are committed to playing, regardless of additional players showing or not, so this game is officially a go for Friday at 8pm EST. I’ll not run the setup scripts I was going to. This game will be a bang and go. I’ll get some settings posted here real soon.

Re: Fire 2012 Tournament I'm trying to be sure I have this setting correct
The lock-out mode defines the criteria for elimating players from the tournament. Options are "Pods & Deaths" and "Deaths Only". With "Deaths Only", the game tracks the number of times a player is killed, either in battle or by other means (murdered on StarDock, CBY, etc). With "Pods & Deaths" the game tracks not only player deaths, but also the number of times a player abandons ship in an escape pod. 1) Pods and Deaths 2) Deaths Only <-- Selected 3) None So if I'm reading this correctly, abandoning your ship is not a death, it will require a pod exploding, or being murdered to up your death count. I'd love to hear some feedback if anybody has tested this mode. _________________ American soldiers don't fight because they hate what's in front of them...they fight because they love what's behind them. http://www.runawayproton.com <-- Expired telnet://runawayproton.dyndns.org:223 V2.20b Games <-- Expired http://www.twsubspace.com <-- Expired Teamspeak 3 50.23.212.53:4196 <-- Expired Just a has been now. |

Re: Fire 2012 Tournament I think the desired setting is "1) Pods and Deaths".

Re: Fire 2012 Tournament Helix wrote: We are waiting for 2.17 for any final changes to the TWA. The only changes so far are: 1. Off. Odds on Invader increased to 2.5 from 1.0 2. Colos (tentatively) 500k to start up to a max of 1 mill (regen 10k/day) 3. Will likely change death limit to 10 for losing a ship (Pod), 5 for actually deaths (#SD) All of these are tentative and will be finalized with a concensus. H This is what has always been discussed. Surrendering a ship does not count as a time blown up..... interesting since it always has in the past. The Correct setting should be Pods & Death so it is whichever comes first. 10 Pods or 10 #SD# Seems kind of squirelly and there should be a seperate setting allow for the following menu: <R> Tournament Mode : On <S> # Days to allow entry : 30 <U> Lock-out Mode : Pods & Deaths <T> Max Pod and/or Death Count: 10 When you hit <T> should that be a submenu? <1> Deaths : 10 <2> Pods : 5 <R> Tournament Mode : On <S> # Days to allow entry : 30 <U> Lock-out Mode : Pods & Deaths <T> Max Pod and/or Death Count: 5 / 10 _________________ T0yman (Permanently Retired since 2012) Proverbs 17:28 <-- Don't know it, most should it would stop a lot of the discussions on here. |

Re: Fire 2012 Tournament The way I'm reading this is Deaths only do not count being podded against your death limit. Vid asked for a "hybrid" type setting but that's not what we got.
Option 1 > Pod & Death = each are counted equally toward the death limit Option 2 > Death Only = only #SD# are counted toward the death limit. Either are fine settings for a death limit game. Option 1 is default, and I beleive the best option for a more challening game. If you screw-up, or your script malfunctions and you get podded, that's gonna hurt! If you want to use option 2, then please lower the death limit to 5 or less. Both options can have some fun challenges, with option 2 more forgiving for those times when we goof up and somehow self-pod. But harder to get the opponent out if you must force them to #SD# to get them out. _________________ BOTE 1998 Champs: Team Fament HHT 2015 Champs: Cloud09 Big Game 2016 Champs: Draft team HHT 2018 Champs: Rock Stars Big Game 2019 Champs: Draft Team Classic Style Games Here: telnet://crunchers-twgs.com:2002 Web page from 1990's: https://web.archive.org/web/20170103155645/http://tradewars.fament.com/Cruncher/tradewar.htm Blog with current server info: http://cruncherstw.blogspot.com Discord: https://discord.gg/4dja5Z8 E-mail: Cruncherstw@gmail.com FaceBook: http://www.facebook.com/CrunchersTW |

Re: Fire 2012 Tournament 5 vs 2?
Noone wants to play with Oso and Crosby? I think it's safe to assume Helix isn't going to show. _________________ Dark Dominion TWGS Telnet://twgs.darkworlds.org:23 ICQ#31380757, -=English 101 pwns me=- "This one claims to have been playing since 1993 and didn't know upgrading a port would raise his alignment." |
