[terry1040]

Thanks

[Cenubi]

Interesting but I'm not so good [:'(]
I think I'll just read your AARs!

[lerugray]

Count me in for the tourney my multiplayer name is also lerugray

[Joel Billings]

Terry1040, thanks for clarifying.

Ok, we've got 13 signed up so far. I'll take 2 alternates over the 16 in case someone has to drop out before the tournament begins. If you sign up and start in the tournament, please be committed to finishing your first round games. Since the scenario is only 5 turns, you've only got 10 total turns to make. Looking forward to kicking this off. We'll expect to be using 1.01.12 which we hope will be made official by the time the games start. The settings that we will be using is Fog of War on (but not Movement FOW), and Lock HQ Support on. Once I get 16, I will get the matchups set up and those wanting to start early will be free to do so (although the 48 hour turn limit won't start until the official start date for the tournament).

Thanks for setting all this up. Good excuse for me to try a MP game finally.

Count me in if theres space.

mp name - cato

[Chuske]

Count me in too, my multiplayer name is the same as my forum name

[Joel Billings]

We need one more person to sign up, and then we can get started.

[comte]

I will throw my hat into the ring.

I have never used the multiplayer server.

I guess my user name would be the same as my forum name Aces8

[Joel Billings]

IIRC, you have to have a Slitherine login name and that's what you use for MP. Please register and let me know if you are using the same name or had to use a different username. Thanks.

Ok I registered as aces8

[Helpless]

Rooster is full. Time to start bidding.

[Joel Billings]

We have our line up set. I will still take two more sign ups as alternates in case anyone drops out before the 14th. I'll try to get the round 1 matchups set up by Monday at which point players can start as long as they use the 1.01.12 public beta (and the 48 hour turn limit will not apply until the 14th). Thanks to Pavel (Helpless) for suggesting the idea of the tournament, and Matrix for putting up the prizes.

Hello,

First of all, I think this is the best place for posting this, but if it is not, sorry in advance, and would apreciate you to move it to the right place.

I am writting to make you know and invite you to try en[.]gametournament[.]net. It could be useful to organize your tournaments.

It allows you to create tournament brackets, manage tournament users, customize a page with all tournament information, a forum for the tournament and much more.
In addition, you can create your own group, to manage your tournaments, rankings, users, etc.

You can see many examples on the web.

Regards.

[Joel Billings]

Thanks for the info, but I'm going to stick with the forum.

Below are the first round matchups using the Usernames used in the MP system. Matchups were determined randomly. Players must be using the 1.01.12 version (either the public beta now and/or the version when it becomes official, hopefully later this week). Each player should set up one Rommel Attacks 43 Multiplayer game. Set yourself as the Allied player, set Fog of War on, but make sure Movement Fog of War is off. Set Lock HQ Support on and East Front control off (this last item should not matter). Create a password for your game. The password should be Tournament (this is to keep anyone not in the tournament from accidentally joining one of these tournament games). If you want to contact your opponent, you can find their Matrix forum name (if different from their MP name) in the earlier post and PM or email them. Once you see your opponents game setup in the MP lobby screen, you can join that game as the German player and start. Please try to keep both games going simultaneously so you can finish the round on time. The 48 hour clock on turns will not start until December 14, so no one needs to start early if it is not convenient for you. If you have any questions, please either post them here or you can PM or email me (I’ll probably see the posts first). Feel free to start an AAR thread if you’re interested as I’m sure there are many people that would be interested in seeing how these games develop. Good luck to all.

I have a question about the 48 hour timer. I will be away 14th and 15th Dec so wouldn't be able to stick to 48 hour rule as wouldn't have access to the game in that 48 hour period, does this mean I shouldn't start earlier than 16th even though I have time before 14th?

I'm ok otherwise, just those 2 days I'm unavailable.

Looking forward to taking part [:D]

[LiquidSky]

Would it be illegal to use the 1.01.14 Beta version from the development forum? Or do I have to figure out how to have two versions running on my computer at the same time

[Helpless]

Players must be using the 1.01.12 version

[Joel Billings]

You must use 1.01.12. I think what you can do is install 1.01.12, then copy it to a different folder, than put the 1.01.14 into that folder so you have both on your computer.
