Apolyton CtP2 Multiplayer Tournament

[Locutus]

Greetings everyone,

The reason for this thread is to inform you all that Apolyton is organizing a Multiplayer Tournament. The singleplayer Tournament feature Apolyton has been organizing has quickly become popular so the next step is a logical one: a multiplayer Tournament. So that's exactly what's we're currently organizing - and we need players! So if you're interested in playing Multiplayer CtP2, whether you've never played MP before and would like to give it a try or whether you are a veteran player keen on showing all of Apolyton you're the best, sign up for the MP tournament now! So far 8 players have signed up and 2 more are still considering, but there is plenty of room for more people. A sign-up bonus has been written out for all participants: everyone who plays gets a discount from the Apolyton Store! Details on the structure and the rules of the tournament are currently being discussed and you are most welcome to join in, just proceed to the Apolyton forums, for discussion and/or to sign up. If you have any questions, remarks, comments, etc, that is also the place for such things. Alternatively you can contact me, the organizer of the Tournament (email: locutus@apolyton.net, ICQ: 52912776, MSN: woutersnijders@hotmail.com). A starting date for the Tournament has not yet been set, but for the time being we're aiming for early August (that's about 1 or 2 weeks from now, maybe a little later).

OK Locutus, now if you let me know exactly what kind of the "organization/moderation" help you mentioned you need...

Since when do you post here?
Anyway, you know all about that...

Update: the number of participants is now 11, with 1 considering and more probably signing up soon

Join now, it'll be fun!

An update on the Tournament:

1) We'll be playing on random maps
2) We will be playing with the default, unmodded, patched game. If I can arrange things with Mazaika et al we will be using the rush-buy bug fix (even though it's not a 100% fix).
3) There will be 2 AI player per human player, but the total number of players will never exceed 8 (and the number of humans 4). For the first round I aim at having as many groups of 4 players as possible, but that depends on how many players exactly sign up. The details on the structure of the tournament have been posted on Apolyton, in the thread I linked to in my first post.
4) Piracy and Pillaging will be allowed, wonders and nukes will be disabled. (I would prefer to have everything enabled myself but many seem to prefer to have these latter two disabled).
5) Difficulty level will impossible, with barbarians in the maximum setting. Pollution will be on, bloodlust off.
6) Everyone will start with 4 Settlers and 10,000 Gold and PW.
7) The size of the map will be Regular.
8) 1 call for restart.
9) Map properties: maximum Wet, maximum Warm, 50% Land, 50% Continent, maximum Diverse and 80% Goods.
10) Their will be a limit of 5 minutes on the turn, to prevent people from walking away and stuff.

The Tournament is scheduled to start Sept 7. Although it may not be possible to have *everyone* play that day, we're trying to get as many participants as possible to play then. I want everyone interested in playing to let me know on or before the 5th, if they're interested and if they can play on the 7th or 8th (and if not, when else). I need this info to make the draft to determine who plays against who.

One last update: the deadline has been lenghtened until next Friday, the tournament will start Saturday (many people needed more time). So, if you want to sign up, do so while you still can!
