[CC2] 2nd Annual Conqueror's Cup!!

[Chariot of Fire]

It's a Trapyoung post mate - I don't think they're to be taken at face value, lol.

[shocked439]

What am I missing, shocked? I thought both clans have the deadline to send their homegames at the same time, so neither clan would have the advantage of deciding based on what the other clan sent (except when the other clan sends in their games early, of course).

lubawski is right i was confused by the two batch concept and missed the ten at a time clause. i'm good now

[Bruceswar]

Maybe there should make a no sitter rule and people should be proactive and plan better.

I dunno, I can see where you're coming from, but a blanket "no sitter" rule would be A) impossible to enforce, and B) a bit of an over-reaction.

woosh...


Score one for trappy.. anyhow lets see what chuuuuck says

Heh, fair enough. I think, rather than take it at face value, I read a little too much into it.

[lord voldemort]

I would like to say congratulations to Eddie on refusing to let anything go and finally pushing me to where he has become the first person I have ever foed in the forums. Well done mate!

Bit harsh there mate. All he has done is state his case, so I can't see why you'd want to foe him.

Delusions of grandeur perchance?

Si you gotta stop posting after bar crawling around Wanchai all night
Eddie spells like a 10 year and acts like a 8 year old so its entirely appropriate that he be treated like a 6 year old who has thrown constant tantrums

actually funny lol

[TheSaxlad]

Lubawski has it correct. Up until the quarter finals, there is no chance of a tie breaker because an odd number of games is built in. With that game being built in, it applies to the maximum playing rule. This is for the purpose of keeping the tournament moving along. Once we get to the semi finals, the competition becomes more of a spectators gallery and that kind of anticipation is fun so we will allow games to end in a tie and then proceed to start a 7 game tie breaker. Who makes the game is somewhat irrelevant, but for the ease of it being someone's responsibility we will say the higher seeded clan makes the extra game with the specific settings outlined in this thread. Also, we will say that the extra game should be made with the first batch since it is a quads game and we are encouraging clans to send their larger games in the first batch (not mandatory) in order to get results sooner from the games that will last longer. I will update all of this in the OP.

That was the answer I was looking for, thank you!


Finally, I see there is 29 clans that signed up, that is great news! Do you then need to re-format your tourney bracket? If so, then it may be possible a few higher seeded clans could have a bye?

Someone should give all the highest seeded clans except THOTA a bye, just for giggles.



On a serious note however when does the cup actually start? This thread is just about going round in circles, in fact I wouldnt be suprised if Eddie posted again soon... but we need some action

I think what Chuuuuck is trying to say is that he's tired of Eddie derailing the thread when he already has gotten his answer multiple times. There's a difference between "stating your case" and being a constant annoyance when you get an answer you don't like. I don't blame him for not wanting to see his posts anymore so he can move on with the important things.

Not to mention that Eddie has a history for spamming PM's to people as well (plus he's already admitted to sending Chuuuuck some in this thread), so I'm sure Chuuuuck has been pushed over the edge more than we've all seen.

let me say this i was not pming chuuuck and if you read my last posts even before chuuuck gave his decision i agreed with a post from bones that aka sit this one out Page 22. I then was saying that THE PACK should be allowed to enter it was due to the time split that delayed the challenge via them. So i was asking chuuuck not to punish them through my actions from the past. I totally agreed with chuuuck when he said no. but don't agree with the pack not getting a place.i have highlighted my comments in red just in case you missed them

[Dako]

"Remember, all dates mentioned mean the games must be sent by the end of that day" <---- What happens when a clan is late with games? I think there should be stiff penalties in order to keep this moving along. If we start bending the rules challenges will run extra long. Keep on schedule is key here. Sure real life happens, but plan ahead and be pro active rather than reactive.

If a clan is still late in sending/joining home games or joining games they will forfeit 1 game per day late. The opposing team will choose which game they forfeit from the batch of games in question (i.e. if a clan sends their home games 1 day late, the opposing team will choose one of those games the late clan forfeits once they receive them)


From the rules.

50 minutes. Damn you Saxlad [shakes angry fist]

I'm quoting this so Chuck HAS to read it. lol.

Eddie, the Pack knew what they were getting into when they agreed to a challenge with you. I think the Pack is going to be a pretty good clan, but so far, leadership there has taken on a challenge from you and JefJef. They seem to WANT controversy in their challenges (or are otherwise oblivious to all things CC). It is nice of you to argue on their behalf, but using flawed logic to do so doesn't really help. They will have fun in the newcomers cup I am sure.

I would like to say congratulations to Eddie on refusing to let anything go and finally pushing me to where he has become the first person I have ever foed in the forums. Well done mate!

Bit harsh there mate. All he has done is state his case, so I can't see why you'd want to foe him.

Delusions of grandeur perchance?

Si you gotta stop posting after bar crawling around Wanchai all night
Eddie spells like a 10 year and acts like a 8 year old so its entirely appropriate that he be treated like a 6 year old who has thrown constant tantrums

Why do so many people get there panties twisted from spelling and grammer? This is conquerclub.com, not spellingandgrammer.com. Grow up people! We aint graded on it here either, this isnt grade school....If you cant find something better to talk trash about, i feel for you!

haha, glad someone else picked up on that one.

Not so! We took on Wonderboy (jefjef) just to to put a boot in his mouth and spank his clan (as we did)! Then we worked out a challege with Eddie cause he was another new clan. But they has been 0 issues with AKA. And yes me and Great-Ollie are somewhat newer to clan life, and I didnt keep up with clan stuff much before running this clan. But i have never had an issue with Eddie. He likes pushing buttons, but there are people on here that start crap a lot more than him!

Darn you, don't you EVER do that again!

C'mon chuckster....get the damn rankings out already...we've been waiting waaay too long now.

They were done and ready earlier in the week. I am just having them looked over for errors and corrections first which isn't done yet. Should be any day.

[stahrgazer]

It never ceases to amaze me how defensive people get at minor corrections.

If the grammar is wrong, it's no big deal; but correcting it can be helpful for those who WANT to learn to speak/write English properly, and those who don't, can ignore those posts.

Thanks for keeping us informed, Chuuuck.
