lol maybe interesting.. or may be crap. i.e. first team picks - "Hey we'll give you guys some good ppl.. here's oak / ub / reg" second team - "oh thx. You can have sedna / reg / qot, gl" ;) Anyway, Cow we kinda do this in some games. "Hey you should go reg so I can be reg!" is something I've said multiple times with success :)
[quote who="Ke5trel" reply="13" id="2598622"]Hold up. Have you been looking at this in terms of the upgrade affecting each owned mine? I can't look at the game right now, and I haven't looked at the mechanics for almost a year, so now I can't remember if Currency affects gold income per mine or without regard to mines at all. I tend to think Currency upgrades income only, not mines owned, so even if no mines are owned you still see the ticks. If someone can
lol. You can't freeze him if he has lvl 3 shield Angro. But ya, you can silence prior to shield and destroy him, and you can swap him near the end of his shield to keep him there. Really tho... I'll bite I suppose. You have to distract the oak and force him to make a mistake. I.E. force him to teleport back to one of his portals to save it. Force him to save a friend and then beat him back to your portal. If he runs to the portal, shield / locks /

[quote]not listening to people whine "I don't want to face (insert random friends or good team here) as early as the first or second round. "[/quote] no team has seriously said this so I don't see where you're getting this from. In fact, multiple teams have specifically stated they don't care about that. It was another issue entirely.
wellllll I had a fun time. 1 vs 5 normal ai. Was trying to find the largest hit.. got a 7052 wooo. Also tried to see if quadruple / quintuple smites are possible.. but they aren't (I know.. looking in the game files woulda told me but w/e). And I finally saw ai buy creep upgrades. They get priests like 20-30 min in or somethin.. giants took them 1:05 (game started on WS10 maxed gold to give them every chance possible). Then I wondered if the gold counter ev
it's 2g / mine / tick. Last I recall, the ticks were a little over a second. Cur1 adds 4g to this at the same rate. Cur2 adds 2g to that at the same rate. So on cataract, your gold goes up in increments of 6 until you get cur1 which makes it 10. 12 w/ cur2, 14 w/ cur 3.
I don't think there was a prize :(
3rd time today, and it's not just me. About 10 people I'm on ventrilo chatting with, nobody can host each time.

I think all voiced concerns have been resolved. Looks good, thanks for changing things around and also for redoing it moments later for teseer :)

I like it. Also, ya I dont mind switching to first round in my bracket just so he has a littlle bit longer to fix his internet. Wouldn't change much at all
lol. While I sometimes really enjoy random games, I also really enjoy the games with the small community I play. Whenever we don't have enough people for 3v3, 4v4, or 2 of us on each team and a 3rd random decent player, it always seems like the opposing team picks oak / ere / ub or some equally strong, strong combo. We have mixed it up and constantly see regs / tb / occ / rook / da and even qot in our mixes. It's nice to have the variety.. but then you get to pug scena

Eh for me it's not that we're facing Janook / Magnus round one but rather that the expected really good games are so spread out and sporadic. But I suppose for a quick fix, swapping Janook / Magnus, Orcun / Mcshane, or Kalel / myself down to the lower half would split things decently enough. All of us have volunteered to even that out :P
It happens often. You do realize the game has been out for a year, yes? And that it wasn't amazingly popular? And that there is still digital distribution for the remaining sales? The only games that stay on the shelf for years and years are the ridiculously popular titles (i.e. you can still buy diablo battlechests last time I checked).
omg yes fix post mortem! :D
koush use imageshack.us to host your images. It's free to use and you don't even have to register. Just go there, hit "browse", find the picture, and upload :) Then it will give you a direct link to the image. Just make sure when you post images on demigod forums you set an alignment (doesnt really matter which one) or else the picture wont be seen.
dunno much about elemental, but Civilization IV was another great addition to the series and an awesome turn based strategy game. It was released in 05 and the new one is coming out in fall this year, but if you haven't tried the series, I'd highly recommend it :)

Yes, that's true, you will face a hard team sooner or later. That's not really the issue. Also, my suggestion on vent was to put the 8 teams in the first round and not take a bye, but the suggestion was made that the way Ninki has it setup allows more teams to play multiple games rather than get knocked out in the first couple games by the 8 teams. Obviously getting a bye is going to happen with the brackets, so who gets it doesn't really matter to me. If it would make

the only person who's suggested double elimination is maxsteel. I wouldn't really be in favor of double elim for this tourney

[quote who="Ke5trel" reply="329" id="2596866"]We aren't producing this for network television, fellas. Random seeding isn't fair or exciting, it's random, and perfect is enemy of the good In the interest of getting this thing started as opposed to making Duke Nukem Forever, let's go with pacov's chart and say it all kicks off tomorrow, with a week for each section. And yes, my words have weight because it's really not in my best interest to keep things

I would agree with Ninki's idea. Just looks like it makes better round 3 / 4 / 5 games to make the tournament more exciting as it goes along. Also I would say Ninki is slightly more impartial in this lol. Regardless of whether you did it random or not, it realllly was in your favor with a straight shot to the semifinals.
There are several times I will abandon a tower. One - to get the other side down. Two - Anything beyond level 7 and that tower will drop regardless of whatever 1 person does to defend if the enemy wants it down. Fireball, spit, minions, mines, 2 seconds from a Rook, etc. Three - To port away for a full team gank on an enemy demigod. Four - To maintain flag control if I know that I can destroy their tower or already have it down
If you don't finish the snipe cast on the erebus before he mists, you won't waste cd or mana. It's only when it's in the air and then he mists that it's wasted. At least.. I was 90% sure that was the case. Also, disagreed on the Oak shielding misted erebus. That has saved many an erebus :) Shield him while misted, then he has time to pop out and tele out at 1hp being camped by someone and in towers FTW.
[quote] He quit at the exploitable time, but I think due to lag, was unable to pull off an exploit. Him urging the host to quit near the end was odd enough.[/quote] several things. Urging the other players to concede rather than just leaving on your own is more polite. I don't see anything wrong with that. Quitting right before the citadel does not cause invalid gamestate. The vast majority of his N/A games are all legitimate < 5 mi
sedna's silence works the same. You finish your entire cast which does nothing (I notice this the most with hammer slam)
