Clan Tournament

[Corinthian]

I request a Clan Tournament. We have 6 clans which is sufficient for brackets.

At the Discretion of Siretu, I suggest the Prize is the following.

The Victorious Team gets to choose a SIMPLE, SINGLE, perhaps BENEFICIAL, perhaps SILLY, change that need not last for more than three days. These changes can be GAME ALTERING however.

Here are a few, off the cuff, Examples:

Engine Boost lasts an additional 50 seconds.
Hellfire's cost 0 resources.
The Hangar Bay starts with 2 Mine-Layers.
Base Mine Damage is Tripled.
BattleCruiser's Shields are removed.
Saber's and Hellfire's are given homing, and their ranges are doubled.

[Red-Rocket]

sheild removal sounds evil!

[Hopeinmo]

if you win a tourney, then your team should be penalized, handicapped, so that you receive more of a challenge, it doesn't make sense to make good players overpowered

[Red-Rocket]

all of the other ones sound like major buffs...or are you talking about enemies receiving that? and sabers and hellfires homing upgrade SHOULD be in place for an advanced stage of the game where upgrading is feasible

[Corinthian]

This would be a temporary change to the game. It would apply to both teams equally. The winning team could choose something Ridiculous, like a 1 minute long Boost, which will mean you always overshoot everything you aim directly at, even with Nullifier use, or something Practical that they honestly think would benefit the game. But remember, it would need to be SIMPLE to code.


Ridiculous Examples:
Yamatos are given Infinite Range.
Small Ship Shields provide 500 Shielding.

Horrifying Examples:
Mineral Density increased by 10x. (this could cause awful lag)
Only 5k Ship and Weapon Capacitor. (the Leech would be an instant kill)

Practical Examples:
Missiles can be upgraded for homing and range.
Unlock Camera ability added to Science Console.

id perfer golden or crystalized skins. Hope is right nothing game altering should be given to the over powered winner. Cup holder gets golden or crystal skins (this is more possible than having specific players have altered skills) instead of having a rep requirement these extra skins would require insomni activation. The winning CLAN owns these skins, instead of the participating players. these skins should be baller and desirable. nothing game altering tho, and any tourny match up should be a series like in the NHL :p best 2 out of 3, 3 out of 5, or 4 out of 7.

[Corinthian]

I must be explaining this poorly...

I am not talking about specific players having altered skills.

I am talking about a game change for the entire community. This game change could be Humorous, and quickly swept under the rug, or Practical, and perhaps retained, should the community decide that it is desirable.

[Tempest]

oh. so the winner decides on a change to be made for the game for a temporary patching period. I still like the idea of the #1 clan having decorated skins tho ;o

I hope someone choose no cooldown on Yamato xD

Skins would be a nice award without killing the balance of the game. Bo3 is enough i think, since one game can already take around 40-60 minutes if both teams are cautious.

The more difficult part will be to gather all clans and find a date for the tournament. Another option would be that the teams get a week to find a date to play the encounter. And maybe not every clan wants to participate. So there is much to do beforehand. :p
