Ok, winter break is coming up, and people should have a bit more free time on their hands. So I propose that we get the online Somnium up and kicking with a nice crowd. Main reason not many people play is because when they swing through there aren't people to play against, and most of the folks who you find on #erebus probably don't have an OpenID to go off and play against you on request.



So here is a signup sheet for a Somnium Tournament. The only requirement is that you sign up for the tournament before December 23rd, and you state your OpenID login when registering for the tournament (so that your opponent or yourself know what ID to enter for creating the game).


Tournament will be standard ladder format (See below image). Games will be played starting December 29th and going for as long as needed based on the number of participants. Each bracket of the tournament will have an 8 hour block to accomodate all the time-zone differences which will arise. It is the responsibility of the competitors to discuss with each other to decide precisely when their match will occur. Ideally though the first round everyone will try to be online at once so that there are plenty of games for other players to observe :)

To sign up: respond to this thread stating your OpenID login so that a game can be created for you. Sign-ups close December 23rd

Once your match has been decided, you can come to this post and state the results.

Ladder in this post will be updated as regularly as possible. and the last line of the post will state when the current Bracket time allotment expires. First round starts December 29th


EDIT: Signups are closed now and roster is attached. First Round commences at noon PST on December 29th, and results must be posted by midnight PST the same day. Round 2 will be able to start any time after you know who your opponent will be, but the official end time for round two will be noon PST on the 30th of December, Round 3 Officially ending on Midnight of the 30th, and the final round shall take place at noon PST on the 31st of December (or an agreed upon time by the contestants who make the finals, but ideally the time is decided early enough that people can plan to observe the match if they wish to).
 
as of now, I don't have an OpenID login, but I am interested. I'll update my post when I do.
 
Just wondering, where is the signup sheet? Unless it's this thread, which is a little ambiguous since you said the thread was for results of each round.

It is attached to the bottom of the first post.
 
I want to play! My openID is JSchoeck.myopenid.com

Looking forward to playing with and against you people. :)
 
Yay somnium torunament!

I'm interested. It's a bit too luck based, but we'll see. I havn't figured out how to use my google id as openid yet, but I'll get there.
 
Hmmmm ... <tries to work out where he'll be on 29th>

Sure, I think I can sign up and be available!

Will it be a single game in each round, or a "best of" (3,5,etc.) to minimise the luck factor?
 
I was going to just say that it is up to the players to decide BEFORE the first match, assuming most would wind up doing 3/5, but I suppose it would be ideal to have things be regular since it's a tourney and all. I'll edit the first post to state that it should be 3/5 for each round.

I was also going to set it up as double elimination, but I didn't feel like making the ladder work properly for that ;)

EDIT: BTW, I probably won't update the roster to contain all current entrants until after Thursday. Last final then, so I'll be more prone to playing with things.
 
Is there anyway we could get the game hosted on civfanatics? The original host doesn't seem as stable (it's down now).

I just got a blogger acount, http://ffhcomics.blogspot.com/ - ffhcomics is supposed to be the openId, not sure how to use it though, is it just ffhcomics, or what?
 
OpenID logins are full URLs, so it's a bit more than just ffhcomics, if you know which website provided the ID the ID login setup will automatically attach the extra bits for you though (ie, I click on the MyOpenID icon, then just type xienwolf, and it adds the prefix/suffix to make it http://xienwolf.myopenid.com)


Not sure about changing the host, would have to talk with sazzer & Vehem about that since sazzer made it and hosts it on his own space right now.

Thanks Sifaus for posting the list of entrants. I kinda let myself get distracted with debugging these last few days and always thought "I should update and post the ladder...", but never did.

I'll have the main ladder posted sometime tomorrow at the latest, I promise :) But basically it is what Sifaus posted in post #17 plus myself to even it out. I suppose since the roster is pretty short and the thread wasn't bumped for quite some time we might be able to accept a few late entries, but at least with 8 people it is a power of 2 so works out with everyone playing against someone in each round till the winner is declared :) (plus it will actually be possible to finish in a single day with lucky scheduling!)
