Afterward & Awards

As the name of the event suggests, 7 Deadly Ships unfortunately only lasts 7 weeks. With that being said, very big congratulations to Storm Ryders for securing the first place position. And a furthermore congratulations to everyone who made it through all 7 weeks of the event. As an organizer I hope that everyone had fun and enjoyed themselves with a set-up so different from the norm or what is to be expected of competitive Guns of Icarus.

Now on to the thing that everyone is chomping on the bit at, I'm sure: prizes.

Awards:
1.     First place team will receive: "7 Deadly Ships” Champion Badge and a Unique Title
2.     Second place team will receive: “7 Deadly Ships” Runner-Up Badge and a Unique Title
3.     Other Participates will receive: “7 Deadly Ships” Participation Badge

As stated in the OP, most participants are eligible for a prize of some degree. Up to 12 people will be accepted per team to receive prizes. These players must have played a minimum of 2 weeks to be eligible to receive a prize. Team captains/leaders are asked to send an email to competitive@musegames.com with their team's list of players, meeting the above criteria.

Feedback on the Event

Again, I truly hope everyone enjoyed playing in 7 Deadly Ships. It certainly wasn't easy to design/set-up/or run, but we tried our best to make a fun competitive event for everyone. If you have any feedback or further questions you'd like to say/ask, please feel free to ask it here.



Thanks for playing!~

im sure everything will be fine.

just be ready to answer this question / give the suvgestion before its asked.

team: you reduced my tier because of blah. what gun can i use to put be back at the higher tier.

I make a solemn vow to answer any load-out question as swiftly as I can. Teams' best bet would be to PM me here over the forums.

Did you guys look at the proposal about tighten the rule about manual point adjustments? I'm not worried about giving advantages to certain teams, just about generally advantages without the possibility to count on some loadouts for the other teams. Just to make it more fair for everyone.

Myself and the other organizers did review your proposal and after about an hour long discussion it was decided to not change the rule.

Teams in Guns of Icarus are fairly lax when it comes to things such as "prepared-ness" and we didn't want to further stress teams out by forcing them to have to think 'X-time' in advance of what crazy load-outs they might want to try. We can at any point in time review and discuss a load-out with a team that messages me. But, in the event that a team has a silly load-out that WOULD need a tier reduction, and doesn't ask about it before hand for whatever reason, we didn't want to have to shoot them in the foot over that. Posting a list of the ship builds getting this tier-reduction also seems against the nature of what the blind-pick should be. Even if those teams don't bring that particular load-out, teams shouldn't have any idea what anyone else is going to bring, other than the ship type that is the theme of the week.

If this rule causes serious issues during the event, we will look at it again and consider changing it, but it has not been changed at this time.

7 Deadly Ships Official Sign-Ups

This is the official sign-up thread for 7 Deadly Ships. A team consists of 8-player or 2 full ships. ONLY sign up if you and your teammates are committed to attending ALL 7 weeks. If you are a 4-player team but interested in joining, look for a team to alliance with HERE. Once you have found a partner come back here to sign up as a full team.

Remember, by signing up you are agreeing that you have read, understand and will abide by the rules of 7 Deadly Ships. (Full Rule Set)

To sign-up: Point of Contacts Please List:

• Team Name
• 2 Point of Contact: In Game Name and Steam ID (Steam ID can be sent to the organizers privately). If a Steam ID is not given and you are not in game to be contacted, the responsibility still falls upon the Point of Contact to know when their team is playing.

7 Deadly Ships Partner Sign-Ups

THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL SIGN UP

Interested in 7 Deadly Ships but only have 1 full ship? List your team and point of contact here!

Meet and Greet with other 4-player teams to alliance with and create the next big 8-player team! Some great competitive teams have came from alliances (ex: HRA, CakeWatch, and StarBards). So give it a shot, play with some other teams, see who your team flies well with and who you don't. It will be your responsibility to contact the other point of contacts and set up times in-game to play with each other and see how the chemistry fits.

The organizers of 7 Deadly Ships WILL NOT be assigning any teams to each other. All alliances must be created on their own. All full teams will be required to make an official sign up on the Official Sign-Ups thread that that is to come.

ONLY post your team and point of contact if you are positive that you and your crew will be able to keep the alliance the WHOLE 7 weeks. Nothing is more frustrating than having to forfeit because half your team didn't show up. Don't be that team. 

If you have a full team (remember, TWO ships is a full team), sign up to the tournament here on the official sign-up thread!
