April/May/June 2010 2v2 Demigod Community Tournament - Results Thread

from Demigod Forums

This thread has been created for the purpose of tracking results in the April/May 2010 2v2 Demigod Community Tournament. 

Current status:  WINNER! - King_Of_Thorns + Zen_God

Round 1a began at 5PM on 4/21/2010 and ended at 11:59PM EST on 4/30/2010. 

Round 1b began at Midnight on 5/1/2010 and ended at 11:59PM EST on 5/7/2010.

Round 2 began at Midnight on 5/8/2010 and ended at 11:59PM EST on 5/23/2010.

Round 4 (FINALS) began Midnight on 5/31/2010 and will end at 11:59PM EST on 6/5/2010

Players responsible for hosting and scheduling their own matches.  Then, the winning team must provide a replay and a link to the pantheon stats here for tracking purposes, for every game played.  Please feel free to use this thread get your matches scheduled.

There will be a need to disqualify teams that aren't making the required effort to get their games in without penalizing another team that's doing whatever they can to get a match scheduled.  It's probably best if teams that are trying to organize matches go on record in the forums.  For instance, if I was playing against say AtMa and Ba, I'd post something like the following in this thread:

Atma + Ba:  trouser and pacov are generally available M-F from 5pm EST - 1AM EST.  Please let us know if some time in that slot would work for you or recommend a time slot that works.  I'll PM you in a few days if I haven't heard from you or we can discuss this on lagwars vent. 

Something like that.  If it comes down to disqualifying teams because they didn't get their match in, the more info and tracking you have indicating that you did your best to get the match scheduled the better.

Here is the FINAL bracket  - UPDATED 6/5/2010

Tournament Rules:

  • You may only select characters as indicated in the grid below:

  • Each match in the tournament will be the best 2 out of 3 games
  • All matches will be played on cataract with default settings (the only exceptions being AI HP on Very High and AI Gold/XP on low)
  • After teams are formed, they will be randomly placed into a bracket to determine who will fight who.  Everything will be random initially in round 1.  In the following rounds, the winners from one game will play the winners from another based on location in the bracket starting from the top on to the bottom.
  • Each team will play 1 round on light side, then 1 round on dark side.  If there is a 3rd round, the team that had the fastest win in game 1 or 2 gets to pick the side they want to be on (keep in mind the following rule).  
  • The team that is on the dark side must pick their characters and ready up first.  Then the light gets to pick and the dark side does not have a chance to adjust their characters. 
  • To track your wins, you must do the following - post the replay at gamereplays.org.  If you have issues with gamereplays, upload the file to rapid share and provide us with a link.  Also, provide a link to the match in the pantheon and let me know if its a win or loss.  The winning team should do this for each and every match.
  • UberFix 1.02 must be used (http://forums.demigodthegame.com/374315).  UberFix is a mod that fixes many of the bugs in Demigod.  Check the modding forum for everything that is fixed by UberFix 1.02. 

How will we handle crashes:

If there is a game crash, the players involved in that match should see if they can come to a consensus on the probable outcome of the match.  If there is no clear winner, the 2 teams should replay the match using the exact same demigods and sides (light/dark).  If there was a clear winner at that point in the game, then that team should be awarded the win.  If the 2 teams disagree on the outcome, a third party will review the replay of the match and render a decision.  Be aware that the 3rd party must agree that a specific team was going to win or the results will be thrown out and the match redone.

How we will handle invalid game states:

The lastgamereplay file is still created in the event of an invalid game state, so it is still possible to review the results of a match.  In the event of an invalid game state, players should attempt to resolve the issue exactly the same way as game crashes.  If you believe foul play occurred, submit the replay along with any screen shots, etc, as evidence and we will review.  If there is a CLEAR consensus that a team is willingly triggering invalid game states, that team should be disqualified after a thorough review of the facts. Please be reasonable, though.  We all know that Demigod has its bugs and its still pretty easy to encounter an invalid game state even if no one has intentionally triggered it.  If your game does crash, it might be advisable to take a screen shot of the crash as proof.  Be aware that we know invalid game states can occur without any sort of foul play, so please be mindful when submitting requests for review. 

Prizes:

Outside of prestige in our small community, there is also a cash prize thanks to community contributions.  The total (and probably final) amount paid for this tournament is $200.  If you would like to contribute to the pot, please pm me and I'll get you the needed info to send me a payment.  If individuals do not come through on their pledges, I will not be personally covering the difference.  My goal is to collect the pledged amount before the tournament starts and I will be providing updates as I receive the pledged money.

Please thank our contributors and consider contributing to the prize yourself.

Yeah it's good to see you've sorted it out rawrrrrr, as pacov said computers can be such a pain the ass sometimes X|

Good stuff guys.  I'll get the op updated as soon as I get a chance today... I think that leaves us with 2 matches left in round 2 and then its semi finals time!
End of OMG_pacov's quote

Actually, just 1, your match is the only one left.

Atma & Ba vs. Renz and Mith happened a few pages back.

janook/mags fought king/zen already?  maybe I am missing things... I'll have to take a look.  Thanks for the heads up. 

 

Reply #530 from Demigod Forums Top

Got it - OP is updated with latest bracket... are we still missing replays on the atma/ba game?  Not a single replay out of 3 games played?

Reply #533 from Stardock Forums Top

boo on the replays - oh well though...

rawrrr/kale - do you think tonight will work?  I'm hoping for either tonight or tomorrow to get our game in.  I really hope 1 of us blows it early too so we don't end up playing 2-3, hour and 1/2 games... :)

Reply #534 from Demigod Forums Top

me and rawrrrr were on all night.  Trouser was available but Kalel's whereabouts are unknown.  Hopefully we'll get our game in tomorrow - but I'm not sure that I'll have time.  I'll check in and see if you fellas are available at some point tomorrow.  Looking like this might drag to sunday, though. 

Reply #535 from Demigod Forums Top

The anticipation is killing me!

Reply #536 from Demigod Forums Top

Just checked into lagwars - kal is still off somewhere atm... I don't expect to be on until late tonight (midnight or >), so I doubt today will happen... you never know...

Reply #537 from Demigod Forums Top

wellll the only thing that I remember is that he said he might be losing internet soon.  That would explain him not being online for a day and a half.  But maybe he's doing something with his family.. dunno.  I'll keep a look out on vent.

Thx for posting rawrrr... no link from me (i posted it though :)).

Reply #550 from Demigod Forums Top

Ok - the op is updated.  The Semi-finals have officially begun.  Each of the remaining 4 teams have until 11:59PM EST on 5/30/2010 to get their game in... and then its finals time!  Pacov has the winning teams' money ready to distribute.  Best of luck to everyone still in hanging in there.

 

Ok - onto a little tourney feedback.  And I'll start by saying I'm glad me/trouser and rawrrrr/kal got our game in.  They played better than us and won.  No problem.  No gripe.  Congrats on the win. I wish everyone that registered for the tourney actually played in the tourney. 

That said, here's my feedback.  WTF!!! Because its a community tournament, I did a few things that I didn't think were logical or fair.  1 - because it a community tourney, I, even though I am pretty well running things and keeping us moving as best as possible, couldn't make executive decisions.  For instance, the whole haxthias thing... he was a guy that admitted to being noobish, but wanted to play for fun.  He got randomly teamed up with achilles.  Achillies didn't want him as a teammate (even though achillies had the same option as all of the free agents to get a partner on their own).  Achillies makes it clear he wants to drop hax so he might have a chance in the tourney (granted, he didn't with hax), and a few folks in the community decide screw it... drop hax.  So, hax gets dropped.  Granted, I probably could have stood some ground there, but I was already accused by the community of stacking our randomly generated brackets... so I was on the defensive.  Imo hax should have been allowed to play based on our rules... anyway, moving on quickly  - disqualifications... WTF again.  We decided to try to have rounds last 1 week.  We/me granted extensions out the ass.  We disqualified 1 team when it took them "too long" but then were insanely patient with other teams.  NOT FAIR.  The rawrrr/kale extension is the best example... our match was like a week overdue.  That's ridiculous.  I'm actually cool with the delay because rawrrr had some issues outside of his control, but seriously... we could have dragged the matchup of rawwr/kalel v pacov/trouser out at least another week (read: 3 weeks+ for 1 match).  We need clearly defined rules.  I personally think we should pick like 2 weeks per round and make a very hard and fast FU rule if you don't get your match in.  While I'm willing to wait for someone as a courtesy, its really not fair. 

Anyway, my 2 cents is that the next tourney should be run by an individual who will make the calls as they see fit.  I'd probably be willing to do this 1 more time, but seriously - we will agree on all the rules before it starts and I will dogmatically enforce them.
