2 vs 2 tournament

from Demigod Forums

Hey, Im wondering if some of you would be interrested in a 2 vs 2 tournament. It would be played on either Crucible, Prison or Cataract tell me which one you think fits the best :D Another rule I think should be that only ONE tier 1 demigod is allowed in a team (erebus, oak, ub, rook). This will make people use the lesser played demigods aswell.

Another rule (Cowbuttzex's rule): The second demigod in your team will have to be either Reg, Tb or DA

How many of the GMs want to play? I think I left MCshane out.. :|

About the map I think Cataract suits this one the best dont you think so too?

And about skipping the tier 1 demigods..... hmm... I really like the rules we have now. Im gonna play reg and is looking for an oak or erebus as a teammate:)

 

Edit: btw, pacov are you interested in playing aswell? Ive seen you writing here somewhere:)

Can you have 2 tier 2 dgs or MUST you have a tier 1?

Reply #104 from Demigod Forums Top

I thought that the reg, da or tb was a must and the Tier 1 was a choice of yours. Having two tier 2 demigods is fine I suppose.

Another issue is demigod selection. Do we have to use the same demigod choices every game?

Do we have every game between 2 teams be "Best out of Three" where Forces of Light has to ready-up first, then each time they switch?

Ok - so to cover the current rules for the 2-man tournament regarding Demigod selection:

  • Exactly 1 player on the team MUST choose either Reg, DA, or TB.
  • The 2nd player may choose any Demigod but cannot select the same Demigod as his teammate

And regarding what is still being discussed - I think this should be best 2 out of 3 games.  And it is Demigod - we should decide in advance how crashes should be handled. 

Regarding the map - cataract seems most appropriate along with default settings.  Though the AI should be set to very high HP and low or very low xp/gold.

Yes best 2 out of 3 suits the best. And you bring up a very good point, the crashes. Im not sure about having disconnects allowed. I bet someone would use this too ''fake crash'' when he thinks hes about to loose. If we play best 2 out of 3 games that means you still have a chance of victory.

We could also simply rematch if someone would crash. That takes that everyone trust that nobody would exploit this.

the crashes

Yeah - the last dg tournament (lagwars) was certainly influenced by crashes pretty heavily.  Erska and Sakke may have won it all if not for 2 crashes.  I know we need to make a rule about this, certainly, but its a shame that more than likely at least 1 of these teams will be eliminated due to the games stability or a users connection and not truly being beaten.

Busy guy!

I approve of the team name Pacov!

It is actually around 27 pages, but one of them is a group project, and a game development/management project. I need to start on the backstory of the game soon.

Reply #123 from Stardock Forums Top

Let's see if we can semi-quickly lock down the rules.  Then perhaps we can get onto picking the dates.  Here's what we have so far:

  • Exactly 1 player on the team MUST choose either Reg, DA, or TB.
  • The 2nd player may choose any Demigod but cannot select the same Demigod as his teammate
  • Each match in the tournament will be the best 2 out of 3

Additional rules to discuss:

  • As you can change demigods (as long as 1 teammate has reg/da/tb) should we have a rule that team on light must pick their characters and ready up and then dark gets to pick?  (then the teams would just switch roles for the next game)
  • How will crashes be handled?
  • Map selection - cataract seems to be the logical choice, but no one has confirmed that this is it.  We good with this?
  • How will we handle tracking wins/losses.  Post a screenshot here?  Are replays required?
  • Will the tournament span mutliple days - round 1 on X day, round 2 X day, etc. 
  • Who's drawing up some brackets for us?

I think all of these rules are excellant and should stay exactly as you have stated them.

I agree with this rule completely because I usually end up counter picking my opponents characters and this would give both teams equal chances to do this.


How will crashes be handled?
Map selection - cataract seems to be the logical choice, but no one has confirmed that this is it.  We good with this?

I think Catarct with all standard settings would work the best for this because playing reg on Prison is not much fun.

How will we handle tracking wins/losses.  Post a screenshot here?  Are replays required?

Replays posted on gamereplays.org would be the easiest way to determine who won the game. If any strange discrepencies like someone D/C when they obviously have the game in hand could result in the D/C team still recieving a win for that round with the review of the replay.


Will the tournament span mutliple days - round 1 on X day, round 2 X day, etc.

Replays posted on gamereplays.org

Is gamereplays.org even working now?  I believe they dropped support of dg.  Anyone successfully post a replay there recently?

Updated - added cataract to agreed upon. Added quesiton about map settings

What we've agreed on:

  • Exactly 1 player on the team MUST choose either Reg, DA, or TB.
  • The 2nd player may choose any Demigod but cannot select the same Demigod as his teammate
  • Each match in the tournament will be the best 2 out of 3
  • Map will be cataract

Additional rules to discuss:

  • As you can change demigods (as long as 1 teammate has reg/da/tb) should we have a rule that team on light must pick their characters and ready up and then dark gets to pick?  (then the teams would just switch roles for the next game) - hedgie, cow, and pacov support this idea
  • How will crashes be handled?
  • How will we handle tracking wins/losses.  Post a screenshot here?  Are replays required? - waiting for confirmation that game we can still upload to game replays.org
  • Will the tournament span mutliple days - round 1 on X day, round 2 X day, etc. 
  • Who's drawing up some brackets for us?
  • What settings should we use for the map.  My vote would be default settings, but very high HP and very low Exp/Gold for AI.  This at least gives a team that loses a player late game a chance.
