the ASE Tournament. aka: A Stick Empires Tournament.

This tournament is going to be hosted by me, would love to have some help if anyone would like to help. Need some peeps to help commentate, need some peeps to participate and someone to help with the challonge. Any help is awesome, if you want to participate leave your full SE name and code here, and if you want to help/commentate leave your SE name and code here as well.

Thanks, -Ase.

Btw, details are TBD, haven't worked em all out yet.

- All games are best of 3, with the exception of the final rounds (winners, losers, and grand).
- Neutral map list is forest, gates, and ice world. Counterpicks includes desert. Castle, Halloween, Swamp Lands and Grass Hills are all banned and prohibited from use.
- Your first game is played on a neutral map. The player with higher rank points strikes one map before the next player selects from the remaining maps where to go.
- After the first game, the loser has priority to counterpick. However, the winner of game one strikes one map before the loser picks the next map. The winner now has the option to change his empire, before the loser may change his empire. For the best of 5 matches in finals, there are no map strikes in counter-picking.
- A player who has lost on a map may not return there unless he's willing (Dave's Stupid Rule).
- Both players may agree on legal map without going through the process of counterpicking (Gentleman's Clause).
- Any game must be decided within 12 minutes. After the game timer hits 12 minutes, the player with tower control wins the game.
- If the opposing player is lagging, and the game is moving abnormally slow to the point where it is uncomfortable, you have the right to request a lag test. A TO will play an up to three minute deathmatch with the player, before making a verdict. If the player is found to not be giving any significant latency, any results from the previous game remain. However, should there be trouble with lag, the TO has the right to DQ (or disqualify) on grounds of not being able to support the match at proper gameplay speed.
- Pausing for any reason during a game will result in a forfeit if elected by your opponent. Even if there are technical difficulties, it's up to your opponent to allow that. Plan in advance and test your hardware!
- It is not against the rules to talk to your opponent, but keep it clean. Any vulgar language or obscenities will not be tolerated, and you will be DQ'd. If you wish to avoid any in-game talk at all, use the command in the chat "<>.<>" which will have you send out the period, but make it impossible to send or receive any messages in game. This is allowed because the IRC is the encouraged method to handle communication between players.
- If anything your opponent does is questionable, you may take a snapshot of it to provide proof of any illegal play, and upload it to an image sharing site before addressing it to a TO. Abuse of this system, however, will cause for DQ on holding up the match and attempt at creating injustice.
- Wait for bracket announcements within the IRC channel #ASE-tourny. If you are unfamiliar with what an IRC is, I suggest reading this to help you out.
- During the bracket hours, you are required to remain ready and attentive for when it's your turn to play a tournament match. PLAYING ANY FRIENDLIES OR RANKED GAMES DURING THE TOURNAMENT IS IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION.
- After a match, you are required to save your replay link and provide it somewhere appropriate. More details will be given later. For free players, it is recommended to start a notepad or text file to record your matches, as if the set goes to game 5, you are able to look at your replay history past game 2. (Remember, no spoilers as the results will be in a pastebin file and the results will be livestreamed with commentary).


So... yeah. Still trying to work out the times, but for now that is all I got. Basically this is T2P rules.


Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah after all the random shouts and shit like "make it so no really good people can play" "okay myst and wyz can't play" (but somehow Zomar and I still can) and then a clearly poor man's organisation of T2P right down to the ruleset...I'm not particularly interested.

Lastly, bad excuse for naming a tourney after yourself... :/

That thing about myst and wyz not being able to play was just a joke, wasn't being serious, yet I doubt they will want to participate regardless. It's cool that you aren't interested, I don't mind and thanks for your feedback.

This is more of a "for fun" type of tournament so it isn't going to be organized as fk.

Jesus daz. The forum isn't a flesh light for ego. Y'all need to chill sometime.

...what?

It's just a fun thing Ase wanted to organize with no real merit. For fun and nothing more. No need to call him out for something to provoke. Correct me if Im reading that post incorrectly.

There is already 2 ongoing events hosted by zenith at the moment, and the Rage/Mage is going through sign ups. Not sure when to expect next t2p either, but might be sometime during the holiday (if not it should be *cough*). In fact this is t2p, but with a different name. Just dont make it too soon as it might be obscured by other things.

EDIT: In fact it may be an idea to just make it <2k or something, give new players a chance (seen as thats how people want it).

I'll think about it, right now I'm in two events hosted by TZ. Specifically DAZ.

Yeah, but no matter what you host it has to have some sort of organisation level with it. And if you look below, you can clearly see this wasn't a solid timing for it either.

I see. I see.
Ase could possibly just move it to a different time and in doing so would have more time to advertise to lower ranked people in the global chat or something. The game in itself needs more advertising.

I was thinking about having it this Saturday. Does this overlap anything with zenith tournys? Also in fact there are a maybe 5ish smaller players who wanna give it a go as well. Pumu Could you possibly help with some organization plez? Can't do it all by mah self :P

maybe KaitoMaster #473

can you make that wall of text readable ._.

No thank you, I am preparing to run my own.
