A little while back I hosted a 3v3 tournament as some of you might remember.
It was a little hectic, had a lot of bad decisions, but what I got backf rom feedback was that people had fun.
So instead of me planning a tournament on myself or something like that. I would like to hear what you the community would like to try.
As the cogs, rumble and urz upcoming tournament tend to be on the more competitive and side of the fence, I will have no trouble hosting events that are experimental (like the spire tournament or squid races).
There are some things I won't be doing again, like having a stream running for 5 hours straight or having a uncompleted ruleset.
If you wan't to pitch some ideas, feel free to discuss it in this thread, and If you'd like to help host/manage/referee/cast it also post here ;)
Here are some Ideas I have had myself:
A battle between americas vs. rest of the world (eu, asia, au etc. etc.)
a crazy kings event.
all-star event, community picks out teams of allstars and make them fight eachother.
Hope you'll all give some feedback, I'm not going off board planning something you guys have no interest in :)
-
Quite a nice idea you got there. Here, have my salute.
I like your 'location based battle'-idea, might add some feeling of togetherness (is that the right word?) which could result in something like fun. (Well, if that wasn't badly written...)
Something like 'girls vs boys' would be kinda cool too, but I don't know if everybody feels adressed and if there are enough female players.
-
I loved the 3v3 tournament, but I'd really like to see a CP or crazy king tournament. Those game types are underplayed, I feel. Scrap can be a ton of fun if the teams are more or less even.

the only problem I see about this event is that you have to engage into atleast 2 days of play time, or put a limit to maybe 8 teams and then single elimination (still fun, but sad to lose 1st game). I am not willing to keep people going for 5 hours again :p
even 4 teams is enough if you want to stream the entire event.
-
Something like a world series might work. I know there are enough german (and german speaking) people around to have a full team. There's also a large number of scandinavians, french, british, and russian guys that might be able to get at least eight guys together. I think it's worth a try. Get a representative for each nation or colaboration and let them build their team. Would be hella fun.
As another idea, which would be more just for fun though where the enemy team chooses ship and loadout for you. With some rules like no ship twice, no gun more then twice etc. It could turn out hilarious yet very challenging. The ship and its components will be decided before you enter lobby.
-
Squid racing needs to be a thing.
But I do also like the Americas vs Rest of world idea.
And I've been thinking for a while that there needs to be a CP tournament. Maybe something like a 'Chief of the Anglean Raiders' tournament.
-
I think some sort of Guns of Icarus World Cup would be an awesomely hilarious idea. Would love to see the kind of fun combinations of pilots and crew that would happen!
Also, some sort of 3v3 CP Tourney would be fun. Even if it was single elimination or just 4 or 8 teams, I would just like to watch some of those matches at a competitive level.
-
I would really like a tournament between different nations... Though assembling a Team Canada might not be the easiest thing, lol.
-
Here's an idea I just thought of. A kind of mega clan tournament. The general concept would be that it would be a tournament between only a few of the bigger clans where each clan has to put forward multiple teams. I can't think of the logistical assets of the tournament and there would probably be a few issues in mustering enough members to fill several teams, but it would be a great opportunity for lesser clan members to take part in competitive play.
-
I think nations would probaly screw a lot of people over, continents maybe?
russia being both asia and europe
-
The continent rumble would take a metric shittonne of organisation to just get the teams. But it would be totally awesome and worth it.
-
I have an idea for a Knightly Tournament! With specialty events, Such as 3v3/4v4 squidfights, Pyra jousting, fish fighting, and others. An open tournament, where indie teams can register and compete as to open it beyond clan play.
Been playing around with the idea for awhile.

But seriously, having a worldwide tourny would be ridiculously epic. I am 420% positive that it would attract loads of support cross-game, and generally it would be such fun. Individual countries could work, except for the fact that it might be a little bit duff as think of how many Americans and Brits play GOI compared with a lot of smaller countries: it'd be easier to represent smaller countries which might lead to slightly unbalanced competition. However, as posted above by Gryhpos, it'd be worth it.
-
I would love to do individual countries, but I feel that goio competitive scene is too small for the eu guys to find eachother, think about if USA would be divided into states.
The way I would run this however would be an EU tourney, a US tourney and possibly an asian tourney if there's enough teams signing up from japan/russia/aussie. Then have it end up in a finals between the best regional teams.
a problem here is that 3 regions would give a very weird finals, so possibly giving the region with most sign ups 2 finalists teams would help.
Its a big aim to get all these teams to sign up, and even finding a time that is fair for all countires in the world for a finals.
it would actual have to run over atleast 2 days, i´m liking this idea so I would give up some saturdays if thats needed. I´d also need a insane amount of help from casters, refs and someone to help sketch out rule book.
-
Not to mention teams that are split EU and US, this would cause people to have to organize whole new teams, just for the event. Which would I think effect the amount of people that enter.
-
What about a lore tournament where each clan fights for one of the factions in the game?

Isn't this going to happen in AM though?
-
Lore event would be grand.
For the Fjord!
If there is anything AK/Aero can do to help let us know.
-
keep the ideas coming :)
-
The 'Master & Commander' tournament, similar to the Baptism by Spire tournament, except this time people can only use Galleons.

That would be interesting to take part of!
Generally a set type of ship (or combination of ships in a team) would be a really, really good event as it relies even more heavily on skill against your opponent.
-
I think we should do a restriction event tournament still, where all of these custom game ideas can come into play, it would be similar to Flotsam where as Clans would sign up for the restriction events they wanted to take part in.
-
You could just go simple and make a 4v4 tournament
-
so here's whats happening now.
some other events are coming up, meanwhile me and relyks are trying to find something to do as an event.
in general just keep posting ideas, if we can't use them, maybe someone else can use them in the future.
-
All Mobula Tournament, maybe? Mobula doesn't get enough love.
-
Something like 'girls vs boys' would be kinda cool too, but I don't know if everybody feels adressed and if there are enough female players.
I refuse to play against Nara, andika AND B'Elanna on the same ship. I'd rather just take my ship and fly it somewhere a little safer tbh :/
-
All Mobulas against all spires? Red is mobulas blue is spires? something like that?
-
4v4 deathmatch all squid tournament.
4v4 squid battles get insane! And a whole tournament of them would be awesome.

That there is a terrifying combination, then again you, me, and Kirk could get a ship together.
Also how about we try a 3v3 ship denial style event (Not sure if that is the proper term, let me explain) So say we have a tournament with 4 matches, if one should use say, the galleon in match 1, that ship can no longer be used (By the pilot, not the team) for the rest of the tournament. However, if you should use a ship you are completely unfamiliar with you're going to lose (More then likely at least) so it encourages you to use ships you don't use very often. I don't really know, comments? Concerns?
-
Has there been a 3v3 tournament yet?
-
yup... organized by Skrim
-
Is there video up for that one? Would be interesting to see the team setups.
-
hmmm it was split casted between qwerty's stream and imagine's... I do not have the direct links though :(

We definitely need another 3v3 tournament. It's a shame the competitive scene is so restricted to 2v2.

We've played 3v3 scrimmages with BFS. It's possible as long as everyone agrees to it.

Yeah, but we still need another official 3v3 tournament.
-
I'd be willing to help organize a 3v3 Event after the holidays. Anyone interested in helping out shoot me a PM on here or a msg on steam.

i actually agree, but i want to be participating myself
-
I would like to see one with no sniper builds. Only because they are no fun to watch or cast.

I guess we can be glad there has been a drop in sniping recently.
Although... that does actually give me an idea for an event...
An all-sniping tournament where the first kill wins a match.

But what would you define, specifically, as a sniper?

You could define it as combat taking place over a certain distance

Seems like a good time to remind Muse of the map scale suggestion!
-
Red Sepulcher was a nice addition to the map pool, though I doubt we'll have much chance to actually use it.

The big problem there is some people still have a lot of issues playing the 4v4 maps. I've been in a few where it just slide show lagged through a good part of the match.
-
There should just be a whole tournament dedicated to the lesser used ships, one where you could only use Squids, Spires, Mobulas and maybe Goldfish.
-
No Mercury games. Or lumberjacks.
Or a 4v4 NPC Hapoonula game (5 harpoon mobula, no real crew.)
Even just take cogs teams and smash em together for 4v4 (no brood/raft teams or any "same clan" teams)
-
I feel like most competitive matches and pub matches are no mercury lumberjack matches. Might be more interesting to have a no carronade, mortar, gattling match.
Also a 4v4 would be awesome but where's the fun in that if I can't make an Uber Duck team? (think I just thought of the team name for that).
-
I very much like the idea of a no gatling tournament

You killed the pyramidion, there's nothing else for the front. Not that I fly pyra, but I do roll gatmortar junker.
And so you can't make the überduck. It would be OP as hell. You'd do this to the gentlemen

(goddamn that was a chore to find)
-
Carronade works great in the place of a gat. Magma isn't too bad either.
Not to mention how much potential merc/flak Pyra has.
-
I dont think the Uberduck would be any more OP than any other highly competitive teams combined. We don't exactly have our teams designed to click for a 4 v 4 action.
Side note, Uberduck is the name of the Galleon I have collecting dust in my garage.
-
I'm still reeling in agony of the lucky duck thank you very much sammy. I think the ducks should lose a ship as a handicap xD so its 4v3 :P
