Greetings! I have came to suggest something that has popped up in my mind. I find that maybe it could go well, but there are chances where this idea can fall. Anyways, we should have a tournament for lockdown.

Side Note: Instead of creating a huge wall text, I will break them into details and contents, so it would be much easier.
Contents

    "Oh, how does it work?

    It works simple. Have a new mini game added to the Mini games section (Forgot how to spell the name), and have a new circle section "Lockdown Tournaments". Basically it's always Random vs Random and Random vs Random. After, it becomes Win vs win and lose vs lose. This could be fun and competitive at the same time. Admission is 400 crowns.

    "Ok, how is it going to work?"

    Like I said, it's starting with Random teams vs each other in the same, exact tiers. After, it will become "Win vs win and Lose vs Lose". First prize is 800 crowns for First place team, Second place team gets 600 crowns, Third place team gets 400 crowns and last place gets 200 crowns with a message "Thank you for participating! Your team has lost, but nice try!" by mail.

    "Will there be specific teams?"

    Yes. You actually have a button "Play in lockdown tournament" and "Play in guild tournament". If you click the lockdown tournament button, you will be placed in a random, colored team with a name "Team (#color)". No, the team cannot choose the name.

    "What if the other match is taking forever and a long time?"

    Well, that's a very good question. If you are finished, and waiting for the other match to finish and it is taking too long, there is a chance that you will replay your match, and will be sent to the "Win sanctum" automatically. The below team will be sent to the "Lose sanctum" due to the fact that they take 15+ minutes.

    "Can we replay?"

    Yes, you can replay. If everyone decides to replay again, there will be the same people, but everyone will be switched. You can keep replaying, but the tournament (Whole) should end up taking about Half and hour. Lockdown Tournaments have a time limit. If the team finished at 8 minutes and the other team is taking more than 10 minutes, then it's possible that your first match teams are going into the winning sanctum

    "This has been suggested before!"

    Yes, it is possible, but the search bar seems to not work and google is for dummies, more likely... I would like to put this idea back up so that everyone can know this.

    "What happens when there is a server reboot?"

    Well then, everyone will be refunded 400 crowns EXCEPT if the winning sanctum's match ends, then they will get a mail with the prizes.

    "You forgot something. That is Krogmo coins."

    Yes, oh yes. I did forget to mention about it. Each match receives 1 - 3 krogmo coins and if you bribe the king, you can get more prizes / more krogmo coins, but it's more likely to get more coins.

    "But it can be exploitable"

    Yes, but to make that worth, it should be about 1 hour. Every 3 point map will require 1000 points and it will take 20 minutes. 5 point maps require 1800 points and will take a max of 40 minutes. 3 point maps are played in the first round and lose sanctum, then 5 point maps will be played in the winning sanctum. The prize will be 800 CROWNS for each member. Also, if a member leaves, it will still stick to it's grand prize to avoid exploiting. So sticking with 800 crowns as a grand prize is easier. Sure, the other team might need extra rewards, but it's better to stick with the grand prize then getting banned forever for exploiting

    I will be posting more details in the future

    Hey Benightz

    Hey Benightz.. Great idea! I think I suggested something like this before but not as detailed. I would also like to see organized teams Vs. organized teams.. such as allowing players to setup and choose their own teams and tournament type.

    One HUGE problem. you pay

    One HUGE problem. you pay 1,600 cr all together (if a 1v1 is possible, just an example) and in the end 2,000 cr total is given out. this is exploitable, and will break the game.

    Well....

    I'm trying to make it relate to regular lockdown, but with a longer time. Maybe they last for an hour with very long matches. On a side note, details will be added to the thread

    Now, how can I make a link where if you click it, it directs you to that part of the thread? I'm not saying about comments, but the main part of the thread where it has details. Like, I click a link, it directs me to the part I would like to go to in the details.
