Abq Announcing StL's first ever FF- wide Galactic Battlegrounds Tourney!!

Posted on the CR boards:

Hello!
This is Dajuan CR from St. Louis. Our Fan Force is organizing and hosting a Galactic Battlegrounds tournament. Any two players from each Fan Force are eligible to play; they simply must be registered by August of 2004. The players should also be active members of your Fan Force. We want this to be a Fan Force only game, this way we each can cheer our own city/country.

I have included the rules for the tournament. The game master is Jedi_Dajuan. She will create the game schedule, enforce the rules, and be the point-woman for any questions or concerns. All players need to contact her by September 12th to give her enough time to set up the schedule. The games start the week on September 20th.

Please pass this information on to your Fan Force. I?ll be happy to answer any or all questions you may have. For official game updates visit the Official Game Thread on the FF community board or on the StL board.

The Rules

1. If more than 2 people from each Fan Force wish to play, a preliminary round will determine which members will be allowed to play. This way by the time the games reach the national level, each Fan Force has the same number of representatives, with out slowing down the tournament too much. Just must notify the game master, Jedi_Dajuan, by 9/12/04 via PM if you?re interested in playing. (A tourney bracket will be created by the start date.)

2. Players must be a posting member of your FF since at least August of ?04 before the start of the games.

3. You will need the Clone Campaigns Expansion pack to play. Also be sure to download the update from here. If you do not download it you will not be able to play.

4. No cheats allowed.

5. You may be any civilization you wish.

6. All games but the final will have the following specs
:
* Type: Random Map

* Map Type: Star Wars Local

* Location: Random

* Map Size: Normal (6 player)

* Resources: High

* Population: 250

* Reveal Map: Normal

* Initial Tech: Standard

* Victory: Standard

7. The final game will be a Death Match.

8. You will be allowed a week in which to play your game. If a longer time is needed the game master will need to approve it.

9. Both players will need to PM Jedi_Dajuan the result of the game. Be honest. If someone is found to be cheating/lying he or she will be removed from the game and banned for 24 hours.

10. The host of the games will be determined by the players. Whoever has the fastest connection, and no home network, should host it.

11. Players may forfeit if necessary.

12. Be polite to one another. Friendly taunts are fine, but nothing board unfriendly.

13. Prize is titles and colors for the winning team, and bragging rights for the winning city.



Games start the 20th of September and continue until they?re done.

I'm in on this. Anyone care to join me?

 

Oooh, I love GB! But am I good enough to play against others? That's another question. I'll have to think about it.

Edit: One question, Bob, maybe you can post this in the original thread, but is full Tech tree for each civ going to be allowed or not?

 

I'll ask, Brian.

I love GB, too. And I have the same question as you do. Am I good enough to play against others? I don't know. I guess we'll find out...

Maybe you and I could play head-to-head sometime...

 

That sounds good. Who's your favorite civ? Mine's the Galactic Republic.

 

To tell you the truth, I haven't played all the way through the game.

*ducks flying bricks*

So I haven't played all civs yet.

But guess what I'm doing tonight?

 

*throws brick*

Bob, you disappoint me. Sigh.

 

I'll make up for it, I promise!

 

So Brian, we gonna do this? Looks like the only interested ones are you and me.

We gots ta reprazent da Mos Alba!

 

Oh, here's an answer by Jedi_Dajuan:

Tech level will be Standard and only the ones that are normally supported by your race.

 

Got it.

Bob, I'm thinking we've gotta show them what Mos Alba's made of.

 

Yes ::waves hand:: you want to enter the game ::waves hand::

You guys in??

 

Sorry, Jedi_Dajuan, I meant to let you know. Yes, me and LetoQuorme are in...

 

Gottcha!

 

So, Brian, you didn't tell me you lost, too. How did Hama beat you?

 

Oh, yeah. I seriously got my ass kicked. It started out all right, I managed to get 4/5 holocrons, which helped. Only problem was, while I built up my air force, he made this huge army of cannons, hvy assault mechs and destroyer droids, marched over, and stomped all over me. It was a good game, though.
