An American Odyssey: Columbus Winner- abygorb

Post by Fuzzy316 »

AN AMERICAN ODYSSEY is:


A series of 13 tournaments that I have designed to go through American history. Each of the tournaments takes place at pivotal points in America's history (and possible future). Using the maps available here on CC, I have come up with different names of each tourney and will have a small story tidbit to accompany each one. The map that each tourney will be played on will be identified in the story tidbit by being colorized.

Each tourney takes place on a different map, relating to different times in American history. The overall objective of players in the entire series is to score kills. All tourney games for the first 12 Tournaments will be a standard Terminator. Every kill that you make in each game you play will count towards your overall kill total. The 13th Tourney will be a final championship tourney for the top 32 players with the most kills over the first 12 tourneys.

If you are terminated form your game, you are out of the tourney, but not the series. The tourneys will run for 3 rounds each. From 64-players to 16 and then a 4-player final. You must sign up for each tourney.

DUE TO POSSIBLE MULTIPLE TOURNEYS BEING RUN AT ONCE, AND HOW THE CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE PLAYED OUT, ONLY PREMIUMS ARE ALLOWED IN THIS SERIES.

[spoiler=Tourney names]
    1. Columbus
    2. Colonization
    3. The Revolutionary War
    4. The American Civil War
    5. Manifest Destiny
    6. United States
    7. Awakening the Sleeping Giant
    8. Battling the Japanese
    9. Warring in Europe
    10. Race to the Moon
    11. The Cold War
    12. Devastation
    13. The Final Frontier
[/spoiler]

Each tourney will be open to 64 players, with the 13th only being the 32 top killers. Each tourney will also have up to 4 reserves. The more tourneys that you enter as they become active, the better chance you have of winning and moving on to the Championship Tourney. If there happens to be a tie that means more than 32 players, then those players who are tied with kills that result in the over 32 limit, those tied players will play one or more games to determine the final entrants into the tourney. (These games will not count in the overall kill count for the series.)

To join, simply reply that you would like to join in the thread.

For all the tourneys, the game settings remain the same throughout:
4-player games (Match-ups randomly determined using Random.org)
Terminator
Automatic
Sequential
Chained
Foggy
Escalating

There will be special rules for the Championship tourney. As each tourney progresses, overall kill counts will be tabulated after each round, and tables posted. Each kill counts as 1. Whether you win the game or not if you kill a player, it will be counted. Info on the championship can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=89&t=147043&p=3211229#p3211229

UPDATE!!! I have been granted a GA Medal to the individual with the most kills overall in the first 12 tourneys.

COLUMBUS

As most people should know, Christopher Columbus in the latter half of the 15th century, beginning in 1485, sought out funding for ships to be built and outfitted for a voyage in order to gain the upper hand over other countries in the contest for the spice trade with Asia. After numerous failed attempts to the ruling powers of Portugal, England and Spain, Columbus was finally able to persuade Ferdinand and Isabella in the Spanish courts to fund his voyage. Thus he was going to be able to sail... Most of these events took place in Iberia.

Seems to be filling up quickly. Remember to all participants. This will be a series of tourneys, and will be open to all premium players when each tourney becomes active. The more of these you join, the better chance you have at winning the overall championship.

Yeah, that's normal. Most of the people who are heavily into tournaments scan every day or two, so within the first few days you get a lot of signups, and after that it's just a dribble.

I hope it fills up.... it's a nice concept...:-)
