that's fair... and I agree.

While everyone is trying to get this set up I have a question.. considering I just bought the game recently and today noticed it has its own tourn. How would I go about signing up or is it based on how many win/losses a person has? Also noticed on one of the earlier posts (either first or second tourn one) it mentions about having an alternate.. if you can't find an alternate couldn't the team use a computer instead? (that way the rule about having alternates being in multiple teams and other things can be avoided) that would be IF you couldn't find a human alt.

Ah I see. Guess I will have to continue the single player tourney to get a feeling for them all (played the demo a bit before buying) Also played Warcrafts dota but wasn't any good though.. think half the issue was i didn't play it as much as some and you had to piece together things to make an item. Speaking of items, is there a item restriction or long as you can pay for it you can have it?

Hello and I know trust me :/ theres been a couple games like that.. one of them that I got really good pretty quick winning almost every match was warcrafts custom map called Peon Wars.. orc peons built towers in a rush to destroy the fortress on the otherside which each fortress was surrounded by water.. sorry for ranting. Besides the Oaks spirit rushing the citadel bit, is there any other skills that would be disqualification worthy?

I don't suppose there is a link handy for the rules?

Neither do I USO. I wouldn't mind joining in a team if you want. (Also, I found the list of rules so ignore earlier question)

A qot without shield = a sed without heal = an oak without shield = an ub with beastial wrath. All are teh unwin.

Well I finished all the assassin demigods solo tourney besides demon assassin because its not available right now.. started generals with sed and I do know one thing.. if I get stuck with sed in a tourney match against others my team probably wont make it lol

edit: I half take back what I said.. found out she can go into tanking mode at the expense of the healing others ability so it will depend

I'd be happy to play w/ you sometime though, add me as a friend in game.

Oh, he's soooooo charming!

hey fellas - its been a little bit since I've chimed in.  I've been giving this some thought and I've come up with a conclusion.  Mini-tournaments are the way to go for us.  I think we really want to do a 3v3 tourney amongst the dedicated players, but no one really wants to put in the painful hours of "waiting/hoping someone logs on."  So, I propose a series of mini tournaments.  The goal would be to have the tourney played out over either a single night or 2 days.  This way, folks know in advance that if they want to play, they must be available between X time EST and X time on X date.  I think that will be MUCH easier than what we've tried in the past.  So, as the tourney will be shorter in duration, then the prizes will also be smaller.  We still have some money from the previous tourney, so we'll decide in advance how many tourneys we want to have using that prize money, and schedule them accordingly.  This way, people lament less about who their team is.  They can just play 3-4 games in a single night and the tourney is over.  If someone drives you nuts, then you are done.  Anyway, I think this is best route for us to take.  Discuss a bit and provide some feedback.  If you fellas agree, then we discuss prize money for the next tourney AND dg selection rules.  And remember, as we are talking about multiple tourneys, it really doesn't matter if tourney 1 is X dg selection rules as long as tourney 2 has different rules.  That way, we cater to folks that are good with all dgs and also to folks that are not.  And we keep it simple.  ALL TEAMS will be required to be available at X time when we start the tourney.  If a FULL team isn't there, they are dq'd and can play in the next tourney.  Anyway, I think this will work best for us. 

side note - I think what will likely happen in tourney 3 is that I will make a decision on what we are doing and then folks will decide if they want to participate or not.  Then we can go back to soliciting ideas from the community for tourney 4 and so on. I think its a good idea to kick start the next tourney with some formulated ideas by one individual (knowing that my number 1 goal is a tourney that actually has an ending and is easy for all to participate). 

I'll post some more over the next few days and we'll come up with an official format.  I expect tourney 3 will take place in February without a doubt, if not magically sooner. 

neilo - let me start by saying - PLAY A LOT OF DEMIGOD STARTING NOW.  That said... I think anyone that is still around is quite willing to accept lag if need be.  If I remember right, I play with doggu from time to time, and I think he is an Aussie, but I might be wrong.  Anyway, no real connectivity issues from me to him.  The bottom line is that if you want to play, you will be welcome.  If you want to win, scrape the rust off and try to find a good team.  The good news, anyway, is that we will likely have 3-4 tournaments with prize money before we have to start soliciting prize money from the community.  Side note, prize money will be small, but I think all will have fun. 

I can also promise that we will try to pick the best time for the tournament based on the user's participating.  It will likely occur on the weekend, but folks will be expected to suck it up as needed (eg, we might start when its a little late for you and run until SUPER late for you, but you WILL know that in advance before you decide to play or not - and the tourney's will be short, so you know you are only taking a sleep hit for 1 or 2 nights).  The goal will be to pick a time where ALL of us are willing to say hey, it might not be super convenient to play this on a Saturday at 3PM EST, but I'm willing to do that for the community.
