Hello people
As the inn keeper of the Green Dragon, I have been considering a grand tournament this coming summer. I want to gauge the general feeling for a tournament. As it will have some considerable prizes (I hope) the more we have the better the prize support. This means the tournament will be fairly strictly monitored, so if you dont think you will be able to stick to a schedule this may not be for you!
Please make your interest known here, and I will keep a list of those interested.
-
What would the prizes be?
-
Where will it be played?
-
i'm guessing since its in green dragon we're talking of an online tourney. gccg? sda? lacky? what are we using?
-
I'm happy for us to come to a consensus on what platform to use. Prizes are to be decided again, by you lot. Understand though the better the prizes, the higher the entry fee.
-
I vastly prefer GCCG.
-
I would like to take part in this...
Any idea of what formats will be used??
-
Online is the only way to run it, sorry if there was confusion about this we are in the online gaming forum.
As for format, Standard would probably be it, unless you all make a valid case for a different one.

Standard is good.
What sort of prizes do you have in mind?
Concerning: 'Summer tournament'... It is currently Autumn here, it will be winter in one month... What date would you be thinking of starting this?
-
I'd vote for Standard, but also banning New Chapter. Everyone using an endless loop horn deck would be a bit dull. Not sure if its possible, but I'm sure the numbers for tourny would be greatest if it was free, and have some forum medal, and some big gccg $ to buy online cards with.
I fear if tourny is done with real money and real prizes, there will be too much arguing over rules. I've noticed there are plenty of GCCG players that don't know the rules too well.
-
standart sounds really good, gccg too. :up:
if you're banning new champter you have to ban the gil-galad, hkotn + namarie + leaving forever combo too (actually you have to ban all hunter elfs to get a fair tournament...)
-
If you charge some fee to join that alone would propably get away a lot of people and i agree with smallman that will be hard to get in a consensus about the prizes.
For the format i think standard have a lot of almost broken strategies and elves will look like child play compared to the most nasty aspect of standard: site manipulation. The ability of play several time the same site or just to choose for which one your freeps will move makes the capital difference between winning or losing. You can make a solid dwarven tank deck just to see it be butchered by the sitepath and a few key minions, anyway that's just a movie block player toughts ;)
I would like to play even if it is standard, but not sure if i have to pay something.
-
By the way, Pepin, how is our current tournametn going?
-
By the way, Pepin, how is our current tournametn going?
I think we have one more game to go to the last round. I think is the Manuel's one... i will check and see what goes.
-
I don't have as much of an issue with the gilgalad loop, as it can take quite a while to get setup, and has many counters. Need to ban leaving forever to stop the loop, I have a bigger problem with Namarie personally, its definitely overpowered and shuts down too many shadows. I like to see variety.

I played my 3rd game long ago and I am waiting for my next opponent. There might be a result missing, but we don't know who has played so far because no one has made a post about it, even after my repetitive request for tournament information.
There might be a result missing, yes, but it's not mine, so you'd better check again and make that information available for everyone.
Now on-topic, I will be on for this tournament too, but only if no real money is involved. GCCG virtual prices are OK in my opinion.

Here the People should comment on, really. King made a important point. When the guys at decipher not recognized that elven stuff to ban, we should.
-
Things like that will be decided. Can we just stick to making your interest known for now? The tournament will be free, that seesm to be the consensus.
-
I just got GCCG :up: I would join except I would like to play Expanded. #-o
-
If its free, Im in! :up:
-
I'm not gonna play. I'll be away and I don't like standard anyway.
-
Ok so I have some ideas where to go.
We will have a double headed tournament. Standard and Movie. This will cater to the whole forum and allow everyone to join in.
So how do we run it? I could run a league, and then a knockout tournament based on the league placings.
Or we could do a round robin double elimination.
Whichever people think is most fun and easy to manage.
Are you in? Let me know, and any ideas you have.
-
I am in, and favor league or just normal tourney... when ar ethe dates, I do have a vacation planned.
-
I'd be in for a tournament as long as it doesn't cost anything and is played online preferably
-
Sorry should have clarified that
Online only and free!
-
I'd love to do it, since I missed out on the last one.
-
I am in.
Will have to build a movie block deck :) should be fun.
-
I will be out working all the month of July.
So i will decide to join or not only when you guys set up a date for the tourney.
-
i'll have to see. i'd like to...
-
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in :up:
-
Status update, TheJord? ;D
-
Oh yeah... moving house doesnt help my social life...
Who is in?
-
I am in.
-
I could be persuaded... ;)
-
I will play, but can you tell me what you mean by summer tournament, (It's winter here.. :))
When is this likely to start?
-
Summer in The USA :) I'm in :up:
-
I am in. I need someone to help me on SdA or GCCG though. Thanks! :)
-
I am in (once I figure out how to get GCCG going) and would be down for either Standard or Movie Block.
-
In the interest of involving as many people as possible, I think we will run a double tournament, Standard and Movie format. The respective winners will be crowned Champions, with a match to determine the Grand Champion. This needs some thought on how to do.
-
I will play in both.
-
So lets try and get 8 in each tournament. Like Ringbearer, you can participate in both if you wish.
-
Hmm... I guess, you can count me in too! :evil: hehe... let's get the tournament level higher :mrgreen: just kidding
yeah, I think, if we come up with a good day/time, I would like to join
-
I'll do movie
-
I'll play, Movie Format only. No time for anything else than that, but it should be funny anyway :)
-
in,......movie format
-
I'm in for standard, but I wish you guys would organize a Expanded tournament!
-
NO thank you, they allow broken madril in there.
-
I don't know much about deck types and all, but I'll be in. Anyone knows of how to change my username in GCCG? And I can't use Hamachi. Other than that I should be fine. :)
-
If this is actually happening I will join in Movie Format, and Standard I guess.... I like movie more
-
GCCG is so sweet it doenst need Hamachi ^^
-
I'm in too, either Standard or Movie, fine by me.
-
I'd mostly prefer Movie, but I could lose a round or two of Standard. ;)
-
The summer is kinda... over.

I would say 8 People each tournament would be fine, as the Jord said. That would be 7 Rounds. As soon as all opponents are chosen, we can fix dates induvidually, I think.
Afterwards, we can declare results here, and write the tournament report ;D.
This guy redid our computer and now I can't play
:-k Do you think we can solve that problem? If not, maybe you can use another PC eg in the Library, in the Internet-Cafe, at Public Computers, or you might try to use one of your sibblings Computers, or abuse those in school...
Why can not you run gccg?
-
Count me out. This guy redid our computer and now I can't play GCCG
?? how does that work? what is stopping it from working?
and count me out of the tourney.
-
What is the format? I am familiar with FOTR, and my casual deck, but I think I may be able to try standard. :)

@Bombadil, The Jord, Vroengard and any other member! Please say in which Tournament you want to participate (both are possible too) by 4th September.
@The Jord: is this ok for you so far? We need someone who coordinates the cup and judges...
:cheers: kind regards, Elrohir
-
I'm gonna play both even though I'm no fan of standard.
-
i can play standard too if you need another player

I will play in standard and movie (if numbers permits) although movie block is new to me so not very confidant.
-
I only play fellowship block at the moment, but I'm not interested in a tournament anyways.

I don't want to pour rain on the parade... but this summer tournament is going to be a autumn tournament soon. :P
-
I'm out on both - I got myself a second job to bring in some extra $, so I've got no extra time anymore. Not gonna be buying any RoS or T&D, even though I still need more of both, but I don't know what else I might spend it on either. Maybe I'll pay down some credit cards...
-
by now i'd be up for movie too.
edit/ 4th september?! :o it's froday, right? i'm not surte if there's time for me...
-
Any chance I could still get in on this? and is there any cost? I'd play movie.

Question 1: Do we need to register a tournament deck? If not, can we use different decks in different matches?
Question 2: How am I supposed to play with my opponent if he had not logged into GCCG for 6 weeks and had visited the TLHH forums for five?
-

Second both of these questions. Are we going with the rules from the last tourney (register, flag, etc)? Time per round (1 week sounds reasonable)? Maybe better to pair sweet vs. Malachi.
-
hey kralik what time is good for you?
-
hey kralik what time is good for you?
We'll handle it over PM once I find out if I have to register my deck. :)
-
No, we do not need to register decks, unless TheJord says anything else. So they may be changed. 1 week per game sounds good.
1. Round: Sweet X Malachi
Could anyone explain me the rules of the last tourney?
-
Rules were:
Register your deck so you use the same deck throughout the tourney.
Change your avatar to your home flag while playing a tournament match.
Don't spy on "flagged" tournament matches (your opponent's decks).
The registering and "don't spy" were so that you couldn't custom-pick a deck to destroy your opponent, or know their strategy in advance. But I suppose it can work either way -- if no one registers, then you don't know in advance which deck you are going to face.
-
How do we register our decks? :)
-
i would say have the players in the standard tournament register to kralik and the players in the movie tournament register to elrohir
-
Actually, IF we decide to register decks (meaning only one deck for the whole tourney), there is a built-in function in GCCG. Check out the last tourney thread for details.
Can we have a final word on whether we will be switching decks or not?
-
I think it's better if decks are not switched. This encourages fair play. If decks are allowed to be switched, then if a players happens to know the decktype of the other, then he may change to a different deck to cope better.
-
It is decided than: Deck Registration needed.

Can the tour still be joined ?
-
@Tempest: Which format? Standard or movie?
Yes, you can participate in the tourney.
-
standard ofc :P
-
Where do we post results?
-
Uhm, ok, I just realized right now that the tournament has started ;D I will PM Pepin right now and see what can we do. Cheers!
-
So we can choose only 1 deck for the entire tournament ?
Also just reg it on gccg or something else ?
-
Yes, use the command /rd.
And if yiou play in both, use /rd2
-
Ok, so I have noticed that I am in the tournament, haha. Will try to find the members I am supposed to play against.
-
ok heard about a tourney today.. can I still join? If i can, GE will fill me in on the details.. movievlock would be nice....(as opposed to standard in which i managed to loose 2 games in a row using my Gil Galad hunter tentacle loop and a horn trollswarm... I had to see it coming :-[ I should have stayed with solo Boromir... ;))

I will join the movie block tournament but not the standard. I'm really sorry to not have followed the trouney progress and combinations.
Hope all goes well.
-
OMG! :o ](*,)
I forgot the summer tournament!
Thats probably cause heres not summer #-o
I really want to play movie, but can go into standard too, as you counted me in.
I wasnt looking into the forums lately, so didnt notice it till i got a PM to play my first standard game, sorry people.
If theres place for another one in movie, Ill play. And Ill PM Elrohir back to play standard.
Bombadil.
-
Okay, I am sorry for this confusing start. Now things are changed and should be ok for all by now.
Good luck,
Elrohir
UPDATE
-
how does the /rd: command work?
-
just type /rd to register a deck. when you next start a game with that deck, it will say its a registered deck. Any change will remove teh registration.
-
BOTH my opponents didnt respond....
-
...current status on here?
-
Pepin and me will probably play our game on tuesday!
-
i am ready for both, muadib and olorin! so come and get me (rather try it) :P
