Bangerz'z "Anything But First" Tournament [May]

Strategy, feedback, or anything SUBTERFUGE-related

  • Anything But First Tournament


    Registration is now open! It will close on April 24th!


    Raise your hand if you've ever helped bolster the first place player because you knew he/she could carry you to a second place finish? ;) Come on, we've all been there.

    This series will finally give those second-place minions the recognition they deserve!

    Fight for second in this series, because first place finishers walk away with nothing.


    (BTW, I pretty much just stole this format from Topkilla with a few tweaks :lol: )

    To sign up, Please reply here with your Username (You have to be L2 to play simultaneous games)

    Stage 1:

    Stage 1 will consist of 4 Events and scoring will be on a point based system.

    Event 1: Goal - 200 Neptunium. Balanced. (9 Player)
    Event 2: Goal - 200 Neptunium. Factory Heavy. (9 Players)
    Event 3: Goal - 200 Neptunium. Balanced. (9 Players)
    Event 4: Goal - Goal - 200 Neptunium. Generator Heavy. (9 Players)


    Event's 1 and 2 will start on May 1st.
    Event's 3 and 4 will start on May 17th.


    Scoring:

    Points will assessed at the end of each game. At the end of Stage 1, Everyone's total points across the 4 games will be added together. The 9 players with the highest score's will move on to Stage 2.

    In the event of a tie; whoever has more Total Neptunium across the 4 games will receive the higher placement.

    The point values:

    1st: 3 Points :cry:
    2nd: 10 Points
    3rd: 8 Points
    4th: 7 Points
    5th: 6 Points
    6th: 4 Points
    7th: 4 Points
    8th: 3 Points
    9th: 3 Points


    Stage 2:

    In this final game, the third place finisher is the winner of the tournament!

    Stage 2 will consist of a single game with the highest scoring 9 players. The Goal will be 200 Neptunium and the map will be Balanced. We will plan to have this final game start June 1st.

    Additional Rules (Subject to change before the tournament, if more suitable replacements are suggested)

    1. You must build your first mine by day 5. This means at the start of day 5, there must be 9 mines on the map (given all 9 are still alive). Anyone without a mine at that time will be politely asked to sit still for the rest of the game.

    2. If by the start of day 10, the game is not projected to finish by start of day 12, the host will contact me via forum pm. A third party will use a random number generator to choose a number 6-48. That number will indicate how many hours after the start of day 12 the game will artificially end. This number will be kept hidden from the players of that game. (This measure is to speed up the game in case players are stalling to avoid first place).

  • I feel like first should still be allowed some points as getting first would still be better than getting eliminated.

  • I'm interested, but I think you should increase the score for better positions and drop first to 1 so it avoids stacking positions

    How do you mean about "stacking positions?"

  • That 2 positions don't receive the same # of points

  • I agree with kingtwfy, I think it would be better like, for example, this:

    1. Place: 2
    2. Place: 12
    3. Place: 10
    4. Place: 8
    5. Place: 6
    6. Place: 5
    7. Place: 4
    8. Place: 3
    9. Place: 2
    Imagine how stupid the average person is. Then realize that half of the people are even stupider than that.
