A note from Hindenberg:
This was a great game! We both had Sovas but I was able to get a trade network going. That gave me the edge with the economy but Ruin is better at tactics. I got a second cap ship and took out his Sova but he built a TON of frigates and took out my Sova too. He established more colonies that I did and, at that point, I thought I was toast but I was able to get a colony going myself which was just enough to keep up with him. I was able to keep the pirates on him the whole game which also was a help. This was one of the best games I've ever played of SINS.

Thanks for running the tournament!

**All will be meeting at IRC channel #sinstourny

Q: How do i join that?
A: Run stardock central, click chat and connect. Then type in /join #sinstourny. If you use IRC, connect to the irc.stardock.com server and /join #sinstourny. Please use your ingame (ICO) name.

** Connection issues

If a player drops in the first 30min of the round, the game will be restarted. If a player drops any time after 30min he/she will automatically forfeit. If the game is restarted and the same player drops again at any time, he/she will automatically forfeit.

** Complete game crashes

If the whole game crashes, we will deal with it on a case by case basis after watching the replay. We don't expect this to happen as it's historically rare, which is why we decided to go case by case.

Q: Then what do i do, if this happens?
A: Report to #sinstourny with your group

** Teams

Teams have been randomly picked by using an online random number generator. As there are no 3-player maps, we have decided to add Hard AI as players since we didn't want any planets to be free for grabs.

Teams will be LOCKED FFA. To avoid any issues with an alliance accidentally winning the map (sorry, only one player from each game gets to move on to round 2!) and to have everyone on the same footing, after much discussion we decided not to leave teams unlocked. We encourage people to realize that just because the "ally" buttons are disabled does not mean there is no room for any inter-player diplomacy, and we encourage everyone to explore those options.

For any questions or concerns, either post or contact Multianna or Annatar, and we will do our best to address them. But keep in mind, we're pretty set on these rules so unless you discover something horrible that we missed, they are unlikely to change!

Thanks everyone for signing up, and HAVE FUN!



The winner of the 3 rounds will be receiving 5 tokens

Which can be used on TotalGaming.net

yeah, random maps tend not to fare so well. perhaps each round will be a different map?
Reply #52 from Sins Forums Top

when are the times? also did the dates change?
End of quote


times you can already see, and the dates are the same.


Okay, I am assuming at this point you guys already have the maps picked out. In order to prevent any unfair advantages, could you perhaps share with us which maps you plan on using?

Also, how will the FFA groups be divided up? Will it be a random thing?

Thanks for any info guys. This is going to be awesome. What a great idea!

That info will come later, properly after the submissions are closed.

That makes sense. Once you know how many players there are, you can pick the most appropriate maps.

We'll announce the maps a bit later, since they'll depend on how many signups we end up with and how the games will be split up. But we are going to use existing scenario maps, not random

The groups will be randomly made, we're trying to explore ways right now to do it in a way that won't give anyone a reason to complain
Reply #55 from Sins Forums Top
Haha, people will ALWAYS find a reason to complain.

But a random FFA player group assembly system that the more reasonable players can be happy with is fine by me. It likely won't be perfect, but then what is?

What counts here is that we all remember that this is about having a good time together.

Just realized I can't make it the second two dates :/ I don't get outta school until 2:03 and I don't get home till around 2:45 (EST). Should I bother coming to the first one? I really want those damned tokens too!

You are in school on a Saturday? Dedicated to learning, aren't we

Would it be possible to leave early to be online in time?

Hmmm, another issue that occurs to me is multiplayer connectivity. Some games are going to crash, nothing to be done about it. So, what do we do when crashes occur?

We could have a referee look at each crashed game's recording and decide a winner. I don't think anybody wants that. Besides, there will be arguments like "my fleet was bigger", "I had more planets", "I had more $" and so on.

Maybe a referee could look at any crashed games recordings and remove the weakest player from the list as that is usually easier to determine. So, if a 5 player FFA game crashes, the ref would remove the weakest player from the list, and the remaining 4 would start again. This way, even if the game keeps crashing, a winner will be eventually decided.

In games where one player gets dropped (usually due to slow connection), do all the players stop the game and restart, or do they keep going and consider the dropped player killed off? Hehe, if the AI that takes over for the dropped players wins, does that mean the dropped player won?

Anyway, I have a high speed line that is about 4-5 times faster than an 8 meg cable line. 8 meg lines are usually the max speed ISPs will hook non business subscribers up with. Usually for around $55 a month. I also have low latency.

So for the games I am involved in, I can host if you wish. It will likely help reduce connectivity issues.

multi is prolly going to mod a map after Barbie's Paradise Island and make us play that...
Reply #62 from Sins Forums Top
I didn't even know that there was such thing as a Barbie Paradise Island.
Reply #63 from Sins Forums Top
there probably isnt, considering i just made it up
Reply #64 from Sins Forums Top
Actually I think there is a game like that
Reply #65 from Sins Forums Top
I found a game called "Campus: A Student Life Simulation" the other day. So, Barbie Paradise Island really isn't that far-fetched.

Oh wow hey I thought it was during the week. Nevermind!

I probably won't make it out of the first round alive anyways.
