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

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 3 (SEMIFINALS) began at Midnight on 5/24/2010 and will end at 11:59PM EST on 5/30/2010.

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.

I estimate that Pacov's PLAYYYYY spam will consume at least 95% of the forums.

I try to add valuable content when possible. 

Kalel was saying that he beat who he wanted to late one night....

Anyway... guess we wait until the time limit for this round to expire...

Why would I relinquish a perfectly good used condom.

Damn it KALEL, I'm getting sleepy. I want to provide these people with replays!

Reply #754 Top

^Koush don't even lie, as if you use condoms. I know you're the raunchy type you nasty perv.

Reply #755 Top

See this is why you have the mind of a whore ninki, automatically assumed that the condoms were used in sexual activity.

WATER BALLONS!!!!

Also, to all else, I'm sorry, however I am sleepy, it's 3am almost, Kalel is a no show. SEE YA TOMORROW.

Reply #756 Top

Kalel - hopefully you aren't having any personal issues that are keeping you from your game.  It appears as if everyone else in your match is ready to play and you have vanished.  If you need or want to forfeit the tournament, please click on my name on the left and choose to private message OMG_pacov.  Just let me know that you either can't or don't want to play and we are set. 

At this point, we are waiting for the the time limit on this round of the tournament to expire.  Once it does, we'll decide the next course of action to take.  Honestly, its probably a slight extension followed by a DQ if you remain unresponsive.  I'd personally appreciate it if you contacted me and let me know if you are planning on playing or not. 

Hope to see you soon.

I don't suppose he's muttered anything to you Pacov?

It doesn't much matter - unless kalel contacts me and says he forfeiting, I'll be granting an extension in case something's happened that's prevented him from responding, and then following that up with a DQ.  That seems reasonable in light of how we've handled things.   The extension will more than likely be exactly 1 week.  If the match hasn't happened by then, it will be a forfeit and I'll hand out the money to the winners. 

We could talk substitutions for Kalel, but I don't necessarily think that's fair to zen/koush (eg both zen and koush would have to say they are cool with a sub).  Other options would be to declare zen/koush the winner and then perhaps have an exhibition match using tourney rules where rawrrrr gets to pick a replacement.  It wouldn't be for any money, but it would give us some replays and perhaps give our tourney a somewhat more satisfying finish.  I think most of us agree that this is a pretty big let down to not have the final match (read:fugging lame).

Oh please, I'll destroy Zen and Koush if Kalel doesn't do it himself.

Something is wrong.  Ever sense i got back kalel has been on vent at least once a day reachable if not on 24/7., But has always been reachable.  There should def be an extension because we haven't heard from him.

So in the highly likely case Kalel doesn't join, what's the new deadline?

Something is wrong. Ever sense i got back kalel has been on vent at least once a day reachable if not on 24/7., But has always been reachable. There should def be an extension because we haven't heard from him.

Based on a few comments he made to a few folks before vanishing from vent, its quite possible he has no intention of finishing the tournament.  If he hadn't made those comments, I'd be a little more concerned that something happened to him, etc.  As long as I've known him, he'd been unavailable for like 2 consecutive days max.  So, its either something catastrophic or refusal to complete the tournament for whatever reason. 

So in the highly likely case Kalel doesn't join, what's the new deadline?

The extension will be through next Saturday at midnight (I updated the OP).  If he's made no effort to contact me here or privately, then there will be no more extensions and the tournament will result in a forfeit at that point.  In the meantime, Koush and Zen, if you don't have them already, please setup paypal accounts as I will be transferring the money using that.  Once you do that, send me a pm with your paypal account's email address.

Yay!  Kalel's back online and it looks like will be playing the tourney match today!

Yeah it's good news, hopefully we will get a game going as soon as Zen comes, and finally be done with this tournament.
