Hiya guys!
This is my first topic in this section, so please be understanding if its not quite what you're expecting to read.
Anyway! Some of you forum browsers out there might know about the player-driven tournaments like this one. Heck, there was even the SK Olympics (did it actually happen? I wasn't there to see it). Regardless, I was thinking about mashing up a pile of these events and making them into every-player-friendly events.
Yet, how can I level the playing field amongst Lockdown elites and the casual monster basher? So, the idea of a Vanilla tournament came to mind!
First Notes
________________________________________________________
Everything presented here is currently just an idea. No funding or dedicated applications have been made. If the support is strong, it might become a reality.
The Aim of the Vanilla Tournament
________________________________________________________
Some of you might be wondering what the point of this is? We already have those events, why another one? Quite simply, they tend to involve restrictions and are mostly to do with the "elites" of Spiral Knights. The people who play quite a lot, and have put a lot of thought into their equipment. I figured it would be good to level the playing field to try and match up the elite with the casual, giving everyone a fun-filled experience, regardless of skill level and money.
The Events
________________________________________________________
The current selection of events is much under construction, and events will be based upon user support and suggestions.
Lockdown Mashup
The mashup involves players pitting themselves against one another in anything from 1v1s to entire team gameplay (ie. 2v2, etc)! Applicants will be split into divisions based upon their tier and star level. The various divisions of the same type of mashup will ultimately have a Division Leader (the winner of that division). From there, divisions are pitted against one another for the title of Tier Leader. Winning a division will earn you a small prize, while winning the tier will earn you a larger one (note: if only one division of a mashup exists, winning the division will earn you both prizes).
Map Management
Set on Lockdown maps, applicants will race to capture points and get their team to reach the target score first (this score might be less than the map's actual target, depending on how players feel about the length of the event). This event is intended to be either 1v1 or 2v2, depending on the map.
One rule applies! If a member of the opposing team is already at a point you go to capture, you must leave the point and find another (aka, you can't sit on a point so no one can take it).
Spiral Intelligence
Inspired by the Olympics Trivia, this is an event where applicants use their knowledge to try and outsmart others about everything Spiral Knights!
Survival of the Fittest
Based in Lockdown, two teams will have a designated "target", which the other team must eliminate. The first team to get the target 3 times wins! Said target cannot be a Recon, or stay in their Base. Teams will be in divisions similar to Mashup, but this will be 6v6 effort (maybe less if interest is low).
Suggestions please! If you think you have a good idea for an event that people will love, let me know!
Restrictions
________________________________________________________
I'm trying to make this as open as possible, but we can't have an event without ANY restrictions. They are as follows:
- Any bets made in regards to the outcome of events is at the discretion of those involved. I take no responsibly for loss of property.
- Applicants cannot use equipment with UVs, or with UVs that do significantly offer an unfair advantage to the user. You're placed in divisions based on your gear, so you can only use what you tell me.
Prizes
________________________________________________________
Prizes will be chosen individually for events. I'm not a rich player, so sponsors will likely be needed for prizes. As such, no exact amounts can currently be given. Typically the prizes will be crowns and/or energy. Possibly items.
Final Remarks
________________________________________________________
This event is intended to be open for everyone to join in. No bets. No pressure. Just fun, with the chance to grab some fun prizes!
If you support the event idea, let me know!
If you think this is pointless and a waste of time, also let me know!
does this mean that if i use my iron slug asi vh + ctr high i wouldn't be allowed to play
because that's probably all i'd want to use for a weapon anyway
