Fixed.

But I just fixed it right before you did.
Do we call that a simul-fix?
-
Eh?

Qwerty2jam had to cancel.
Papa paradox and brick hardcastle will take over his stream.
Same link but just diffrent caster. (I don't want to change the last picture, so just pretend that it says papa paradox)
-
Oh I wouldn't ever encourage the competitors to rename one of their ships...Brick Nyancastle ;D *wink* *wink*
Really...as his wingman I could never suggest such hilarity be brought into such serious competitive play ;D *wink* *wink*
Just like I'd never suggest naming a ship Kusanyaagi ;D *wink* *wink*
Or Algernyan...heh heh...heheheh...my work here is done... ;D
-
We should all give our ships some ridiculous almost illegible names just to throw the casters off and also to bring some more fun into comp play.
-
Know what would be even better? If every ship in the match had the same name.
-
Yes please.
-
Know what would be even better? If every ship in the match had the same name.
You monster.
-
just for one match it could be fun to watch :p
-

So, y'know.... you've been warned.

-

Good games to MM/Corvus, Valiant/NAF, and Polaris/FoS. We did okay considering that our team had... Erm... Never practiced together before, but that 6-7 in our last match was heartbreaking (not that I'm going to whine or anything). Well played by all.

Finals: Merry Marauder vs P&S
Winner: Merry Marauders.
thanks to everyone playing in the tournament.
Thanks to everyone who helped do it.
A couple of things went wrong.
The antidae team had a dc after 20 mins of gameplay where the score was 2-2.
I decided to let the game continue though It might not have been fair to antidae.
I apologize for the amateur fault of not specifying rules like this, I take this into account for the future.
I'm really sorry if you feel that this was a wrong decision, and I don't know If I can make it up to you guys.
it was never intended that this was supposed to be a hardcore tournament, therefore the rules have been unspecified.
please leave criticism, if not for me then for everyone who wants to host tournaments in the future.
I had a quick talk with keyvias on the possibility of making a tournament mode with implements:
referee being able to pause the game
dc = auto pause of the game
setting a time limit for each game (the host decides and if it runs out, the first kill counts).
If we can get this ingame I think we will have a lot more fair grounds to play on.
Tomorrow: saturday
I will start gathering your prize wishes.
for every participant you need to contact your team representant and tell him which costume you want.
you can only choose costumes that you are able to buy
except for nightinggale, dr schnabel and holiday items.
specify if its for male or female!
the winning team also recieves the choice between a copy of guns of icarus online, or a copy of the adventure mode.
Do not send this to muse, send it to me. (less work for muse)
Thanks again!
Skrimskraw.

Good job to every team, I had a blast. A few drawn out matches, but once they got going, damn... lots of adrenaline.
-
Thanks for organizing the tournament, Skrim! It was great to see 3v3 in competitive play.
So, to clarify... Every single participant from every team gets a costume, regardless of results in the tournament?

Gratz MM!!! Well deserved!
Not much you can do about disconnects. Last week has been rather flaky.
-
Well... Our game against Valiant/NAF was restarted because of one engineer DC on the other team (though it was at the start of the match).

yes sorry I should have written that.
I´ll elaborate why anitidaephobia was upset over having their game continue.
I gave my referees permission to judge the situations. Kyren decided to restart the quack valiant(..) game because it had a disconnected player right of the bat.
I think kyren made the right decision here to quickly reboot the game before no kills were made.
in the anitidaephobia vs p&s game the referee Mattilald decided to consult me on the matter,and I said continue the game, my reasoning being that kills had been made and several mins of game play had passed.
this created a very chaotic confusion because there were no rules about it, and that is my fault entirely.
-
Ggs everyone. My head became a square after 6 matches lol. We ended at 6 am. The matches with merry were sooo close.
-
I agree with Zitrus... Some very good games all around.... The amount of tension during all of those games had me on the edge of my seat everytime (even if it wasn't as entertaining for the fans :)))... I would also like give a shoutout to Crafe, and his Corvus boat... at first, we were all a bit skeptical bringing the Spire in, but there really is no other ship I would rather see you guys in. Once again, great games, and I look forward to future tournaments :)

Agreed. I know the casters even made a comment at the start of our first game about how the Quack Street Boys might have an advantage as far as communication and cohesion goes since they had an all Duck team whereas we were joining forces with another team. I wasn't really familiar with the people on our Corvus ship at the beginning, but after making it all the way to the end with them, nothing but love for those guys. They played incredibly, in a spire no less. I hope we can team up with them in the future, it was a real pleasure.
Also nothing but love for P&S and the Ducks for sticking it out for that long, those were some insane matches. Excellent playing by everyone who participated.
-
Advantage in communication for us? If they had been listening to our teamspeak conversations...
-
I am most displeased.
-
Well, I finally got to participate in a tournament. I was completely unprepared (I had no idea they needed me to be a pilot! I was ready to whack things with a spanner), extremely sleep deprived/exhausted from an early 9 hour work shift, and I did terrible. So I guess I fit right in on the Muse team. :P
Just teasing! Love you Muse! I'd be more than happy to fill in on any games any time you need me and I'm available. Had a great time. I love the pressure of a 'real' match. Sorry for sucking!!
Huge congrats to the Merry Marauders, and kudos to everyone involved!!
-
Yes, that was extremely close. I wonder how they Galleon survive that at the last moment of fight. He was realy near to death. I'm not sure if that was good skill or just luck, but i must confess - well played, Merry Marauders. Congratulations.
-
On behalf of the Merry Marauders team, I'd like to say gg's to everyone. So many 7-6 matches coming down the the very wire. I cant describe how tense it was.
The matches may of taken quite awhile, but if only you could hear our chatting back and forth figuring out how to approach what felt like impossible odds sometimes. It was a great experience. Thanks again to all the refs, organizer, and teams.
-

This is why spectators should be able to listen in on voice comms, since it would give casters something more to talk about and give better perspective on what's going on.

I wonder how it survived as well, and I was the one repairing it. :P Was spanner-ing faster than I had ever spanner-ed before, and was sure we were about to lose. Mostly just came down to being lucky that one of our ships managed to get the kill within those final few seconds, I wouldn't have been able to hold it much longer at all.
This is why spectators should be able to listen in on voice comms, since it would give casters something more to talk about and give better perspective on what's going on.
That would make long matches and tense moments much more interesting, but if those got broadcasted to the stream I'd be concerned with teams keeping the stream open to hear enemy voice chat.

This sounds a lot better in theory than in practice.

Make the stream delay even longer, maybe?

Well, that's one aspect, but the other is that unless there's some way to control the volume of the chat or when it's on or off, having voices talk over each other is generally horrible.
-
I wasn't suggesting that it be always on, just something you can tap into when you want it. Sort of like how you can make the text chat appear and disappear.
-
we dont use ingame voice chat anymore.
steam has been horrible and sometimes you cannot hear eachother ingame.
-
I have received costume wished from merry marauders and polaris.
I still need from qsb, anitidaephobia and the valiant northern air fleet.
the guys who played with MUSE will have to contact MUSE on the matter.
Bubbles have insisted on taking care of giving you guys your costume, my hands are tied here.
-
polaris
P&S - Polaris and Sodom. That's important because it's actually two clans - Polaris Company and Fleet of Sodom. That's why team was named P&S. Two Polaris ships (Vulpes and -P- Aquarius) and one Sodom ship (-FoS- Sara). Not complaining or anything, just for clarify.
