New PS3 tournament/ladder/league (discussion)

I'm comfortable with that layout, however i believe Limited Fuel/Ammo should be on at all times

[MACADEMIC]

Hello all,

I've been away skiing for a bit, no internet there which explains my absence from the game and the forum.

About sponsoring, yes the publisher has indicated his okay for that but they need to await their marketing budget to be approved before they can officially commit to sponsoring a new tournament.

Will keep you posted as to when and what they're going to sponsor.

Best,

MACADEMIC

I agree, I just want to make sure enough combat styles are included. Realistically, in a 2v2 team battle, if one team is killed off, then during the time it takes them to respawn, you could figure the other team is able to return to base, refuel and reload for another sortie. I'll try to find a way to put it to a vote among everyone who's posted here.

There's a big kind of night crowd playing right now, huge games but almost all dogfights with unlimited ammo, the usual 2-dimensional thing. Some of them may have trouble adjusting. That's pretty much all anyone does anymore, except the occasional destroy-the-airfield mode and crash-into-the-bunker mode.

Macademic does the publisher want to have all the funding and etc in order before the competition starts? Or should we go ahead cause things look ready to roll soon. Lost Cause is motivating people for a battle-of-the-planes deathmatch kind of mini-tournament, and telling people to post on this forum. So there will be a lot of people around, it's a good time to start forming teams, sometime during the next week.

Hi Kozz, they didn't say but I'd think they'd want to know what they're sponsoring before it starts. My guess is that they'll want to sponsor some tournament similiar to Ace of Aces, for individuals. Easier to market that.

Anyhow, I don't see why your competition shouldn't start, even without prices.

I hope the near-death of these forums doesn't make people stop posting though. That was nearly the end of everything.

I agree it would be easier to have prizes for a 1 on 1 thing. What do you think of the top-8/second-8/unranked ladder scheme? Where you'd make a challenge to the next highest group instead of to individuals, and play the first one to defend, and they get points if they win, if they lose, you take 8th spot in their group.

I'll wait one or two more days for comments on team rules and then post a draft proposal for a ruleset, maybe as a poll.

Then we can form teams and kill each other.

That may be possibly the best summing up of the human race I've ever read. Genius.

working on revised rules now, based on all the comments here, will post them in a day or two. Hopefully team formation can more or less coincide with the "battle of the planes" thing lost cause is organizing (friday and saturday, I think)
