[Imposter]

I'd like to just start matches now, since it's been a long time since this idea came up and I'm an impatient person. How about Saturday as the deadline for the first match, with individual games scheduled by the people playing?

[Jahkaivah]

I'm already playing in another Frozen Synapse tournement, but I had signed up to this one beforehand so I'll take part.

A few suggestions:

-Maybe most wins out of three matches as opposed to best score out of two? It would be easier not to have to look into the games scoring system to determine whether our win in one game will beat the other's guys win in another. And rather stick to the straight foward "a win's a win" mentality for each game.

-A bit of caution towards deadlines, if the other tourney any indication some of us are bound to be busy at times so expect them to not be met and a bit of leeway is needed.

[RPharazon]

Awesome. I'm paired against Valaqil. I can't wait to terribly and utterly lose at everything.

Yeah, I was going to go with best 2 out of three, but then Imposter suggested the other way when I was too tired to think. Changed now.

[dj_bushido]

I agree with giving a bit of leeway, but let's seriously keep it within a specific limit - say that you have to have your matches done within a week? My favorite part of Frozen Synapse is that you don't have to do everything right then and there.

Hey, no using the source of my dumb suggestions to escape blame for agreeing with them.

[Valaqil]

Awesome. I'm paired against Valaqil. I can't wait to terribly and utterly lose at everything.

This actually should be hilarious. I'm okay at it, but I've played exactly one versus match (Scuzz?) and that was a month ago. RPharazon, I challenge you to a duel!

[Badgerish]

My vatforms advance on Watsyurname529's slaves' position.

I hope that is the right person. Would be so embarrassing to be shooting the wrong person's property.

[RPharazon]

I have challenged Valaqil to manly vatform combat.
Of course, he immediately hid and is now shivering in abject terror.

PROOF.

<RPharazon> I challenged you
<RPharazon> HAVE AT THEE
<Valaqil> NOES!

Yup. Forgive me if I am a little late responding in killing all of your troops completing this gentlemanly challenge because I'm just finishing up a summer college course, and my final is this Wednesday.

[RPharazon]

I beat Valaqil after two games. 152893, and 164724.
164724 was interesting in that, had Valaqil ran away like a coward during the last turn, I would have lost nobody, and he would have died. Instead, he stayed in the room and managed to off one of my guys.

Next!

[watsyurname529]

My orders have finally been sent and let the killing commence.

[Zen Master]

So um .... how to enter?

[Tzekan]

I'd be happy to enter this tourney, if it's made clear how to do so.

The week deadline idea sounds good, this should be fun

[watsyurname529]

Argh. Lost my first two straight in a row.

I really didn't expect to lose that fast in the second match, but apparently I was at just the slightest disadvantage to get shot.

[Scuzzball]

Sorry for confusion to enter. Link is now in first post, and now here:

Jibbers I need to shoot at you! Sorry for delay for camping.

[Badgerish]

The Tactical Badger is victorious (for now)

Matches:
149076 - both of us played a bit defensive, until all hell broke loose.
180114 - a small yet open arena, only 6 vatforms, knew this would be short and painful (like a badger), but 6.25sec was notably brutal.

Wats: it was close with our shotgun duel in the second match, but my vatform had cover from the corner, that seemed to seal it.

Yeah, both my shotgun and gunner had just slightly bad angles on the corners which gave the advantage to you.
