Aerodrome: TMW Final 8/22 Details and Voting

[Squidslinger Gilder]

First off, congrads to:

  -  Moonshine Lollipops and Phobos LLC
  -  Crimson Sky Morepork
  -  Compensate Ryders
  -  Fancy Rydr
  -  Geographical Llamas Reservoir
  -  The Bard's Trade Union

You are the top 6 finalists that will be going on to the best of 5 event on the 22nd. Also thank you to all teams who participated. Saw some great matches during these past 4 weeks.

So that said lets get the details going for the final week. First up in this thread there is a community vote for the match order for the final week. So you all get to decide what order the maps take place in. If I can get a mod to add a poll to this with all 5 TDM 3v3 maps listed, that would be awesome. Go ahead an allow multiple votes if you can.

The poll will run till next Saturday when the list will be finalized and the teams will then have a week to confer together. The top scoring team will be given spawn choice for the first match. After that, the teams will switch sides. So if they want blue spawn first, they'll get red spawn in match 2 and blue in 3 or reverse if they want red first.

As far as teams go. finalists please get together and decide your teams during this time. You'll also have till next Saturday to decide on official teams. Please think up a Conglomerate name for your new combined team. Literally multiple companies are coming together to forge one major company.

On the final week leading up till the 22nd I'll be posting the schedule along with stats of all teams. Passwords for those matches will be the same as the normal weeks.

So till then, make the most of your bye week and get ready for your best of 5 battle to decide the champions!

[Squidslinger Gilder]

Safe to say our match list is going to be:

Ambush
Fjords
Hazard
Firnfeld
Dunes

Still need confirmations from teams as to who they are teaming with. If you haven't spoken to the other teams, speak on up now in this thread. Or message privately. Either way, someone needs to give details on who is joining with who and what your new conglomerate name for the event will be.

[Squidslinger Gilder]

Got a confirmation it's going to be:

Moonshine Lollipops and Phobos LLC
Crimson Sky Morepork
The Bard's Trade Union

vs

Compensate Ryders
Fancy Rydr
Geographical Llamas Reservoir

Conglomerate names will be added later. Lollipops lemmie know what spawn you want to start off on.

[Squidslinger Gilder]

Keep in mind, I could just assign you names.

Right now they'd likely be:

Crimson Lollipop Trade Union

and

Fancy Llama Ryders

or

Bard's Morepork Lollipops
Geographical Fancy Ryders

The possibilities are endless

[Dementio]

The following companies:
Compensate Ryders
Fancy Rydr
Geographical Llamas Reservoir

Have decided to call themselves Geographically compensated Reservoir filled with Fancy Llamas, plus Rydr Ryder Alliance

_{Logo coming soon...}

[Squidslinger Gilder]

Alright, gonna just list it in the books as...

Ryder Alliance vs Crimson Lollipop Trade Union

Best of 5 match finale kicks off tomorrow! We'll also be giving a teaser announcement regarding a special coming competitive event direct from Muse itself.

[Elazul]

If I can make a last minute request, could our team name be Crimson, Bards, and Phobos Trade Alliance?

Sorry this is so last minute.

[Squidslinger Gilder]

Sure. Glad you guys got a name picked. So it's gonna be...

Ryder Alliance vs Crimson, Bards, and Phobos Trade Alliance.

Oh, last second rule going into the finals. Apologies this wasn't addressed.

In the event of a tie in a match, there will be a 5 minute overtime. If the match is still undecided, victory will be recorded for the team that got the first kill.

[Squidslinger Gilder]

Congrads to the Ryders. Undefeated in Aerodrome for a 3rd time. Submit your roster to Muse with prize selections. Remember, you guys get a $5 limit on items this time. Only ones by Muse.

To the runners up, also submit your rosters for your $1 prizes. Special thanks to GSR and those that filled in for Clan Clan in such short notice. You are eligible for the prize so submit away too.

So that is a wrap of the Mercantile War. We will be releasing the final letters vid shortly. It's in audio mastering right now. There has been something special added on to the ending which will be for the RP community here, or really anyone that is remotely interested in the storyline. It won't make much sense now but it will in the future. Extra credit to those who recognize the homages in it .
