DC mini tournament 1

[Shadow]

I am thinking of varying the rules slightly each time. We could do cursed, no town abandons, no town loses, fast pace, higher monster levels, etc.

Yeah, I think there's lots of ways these tournaments could be handled, and they'd all be fun for different reasons. Viper34j's suggestion (no abandoned towns) would be cool. On a similar note, making the number of towns saved the goal (as opposed to character level) would be neat (ESPECIALLY if you can't abandon towns, or if we penalize you for it. Like, your score is the number of saved towns minus half the number of abandoned towns). Or we could make the contest consist of just saving the first town, but judging how FAST we do it. Things like that.

I'm all for each tournament being slightly different than the last one.

Maybe we could have everybody say how many times they restarted when they turn in their game at the end of the week. We could find out a) how everybody did, considering the number of restarts, and b) what fraction of the players like to restart. Then we would have some statistics to go by for the next mini tournament.

I'm all down for varying the game rules, but they need to be grounded somewhere. You can enforce (or even verify) rules like not restarting after a HC death or something like not killing any elfs because they aren't tracked anywhere.

I say anything on the character export is fair game as far as tourny rules go.

I like this idea. I'm sure most people who'd participate in this tourny would be honest. I don't see why anyone would cheat. I died on the first try after an hour (1 shot by a crazy ass boss) so I think it's harsh to have a one week tournament without being able to restart. I don't mind recording the amount of times I restart though, not at all.

Well, I stupidly forgot that I was playing hardcore when the town was viciously attacked! Looking forward to the next mini tournament. <sigh>

Just re-unzip your Gilbert and restart him. It's allowed "8) If you still have time try again"

1) It would be pretty cool to have this in-game. If Mr. Peeler finds free time on his hands, I think that would be great. This actually got me to pick the game up for the first time in a while, as it had been lost among many other games I've been meaning to play (I've been hooked on Evochron: Legends, lately, what a gem). ... Of course, anything with a high score list will automatically draw in cheaters, which would defeat the purpose. I suppose with that taken into account, the informal contests are probably more fun for everyone.

2) For the multi-town based ones, it would be interesting if the game used the same town generation random seed for everyone, maybe embed it in the character file and use that, so everybody's second, third, and fourth towns are identical, etc. I think it would be neat to hear about some people making it through the very same dungeon I got horribly destroyed on. I'm not sure how such a thing would interact with the fact that the next town is generated based on the player's level. Hadn't thought of that.

3) Restrictions on new town level settings? Slow or fast?

Regardless, thanks for the opportunity to try a different build out. My dude is a ice-grenade bombing monster currently! After a nap, I'm going to give my second town a go!

I made it to level 10 last night but stupidly blew up a bunch of barrels while I was standing only a few feet away at half health. Of course one of those barrels were explosive RIP Gilbert #2
