Title: King of FFA II!
Post by: FML|Mage on June 10, 2013, 10:47:40 am
:FMLN:

Those of you that have been watching Game of Thrones may have come to the conclusion that there can only be one king.  This is entirely correct, and leads to the problem of others who aren’t king trying to kill off the current king if they aren’t strong enough to prevail.  Our current king, :Canada: :hu: FML|Renaud has had his iron throne for a long time... but has he become lazy and negligent during that time, or been training every night to prevent a usurper from taking over?

There’s only one way to find out... It’s time to find out, who. is. the.

KING OF FFA?

How does it work you ask, well I’m glad you did.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... Damn it, Worpex says he doesn’t want Disney to sue us, so I’m afraid we’ll just to have to get down to the details.

# of rounds: 5 Rounds (One Every Weekend):
1: 12 Man FFA (June 21st - 23rd)
2: 8 Man FFA (June 28th - 30th)
3: 6 Man FFA (July 14th - 16th)
4: 12 Man FFA (July 21st - 23rd)
5: 4 Man GRAND FINAL!
Player Maximum: UNLIMITED!
Date: June the 21st to July the 23rd
Match Times: 3 Set times per weekend:
Friday at 6PM EST - 24:00 CET
Saturday at 3PM EST - 21:00 CET
Sunday at 12PM EST - 18:00 CET

Signing Up

Each Round will take place on 3 separate days and times. From Monday to Thursday people will sign-up for which day they would like to play on, and they will then be added to the match scheduled for that day. If you are unable to make it to a match for a week, its not a problem, you will never be disqualified for only making it to a limited number of matches. Show up when you can!

You can only sign up for one match per a week.  However, if you don’t win your match then you can show up to sub/fill in for later matches.  If you win, you’re done for the week.  Players that have not yet played a game will be given priority over players who have played already.

Games will be done on a first come first serve basis.  However, if enough people sign up multiple games will be created!

The Points

12 Man FFA, starting with first place working down to 12th
30, 15, 15, 10, 10, 10, 5, 5, 5, 1, 1, 1

8 Man FFA, starting with first place working down to 8th
25, 15, 15, 10, 10, 5, 5, 1

6 Man FFA, Starting with first place working down to 6th
25, 10, 10, 5, 5, 1

Prize: Winner of the season will get an awesome signature banner that Worpex has created for us.  It looks like this:

is it possible to compete even if you can't compete every week? Like I can't guarantee I can make it every week, but I want to still play when I can. Or do you have to make sure to play 1 match every week in order to sign up?

Worp I already knew the answer, clearly I was asking a dumb question so that people don't have to ask it later.

Sounds cool, but I won't be able to play in it since those times all never work for me.

 :icon_sad:

What about the ladder?  The idea of ladder is nice because it accommodates everyone.  Whenever they are able to play and a custom game can get started, it can count towards ladder.  This would add more meaning to custom games and improve activity even more so.

Could there be thought given to running FML ladder season 3 as well, since KOFFA is only on the weekends on a set time each day?

What times would be better for you? It seems only the sunday time is popular right now so we can move the other 2 to times that accommodate people better.

seems like last time those maps weren't working on the bot or something, or at least obs on defeat wasn't available
Title: Re: King of FFA II!
Post by: FML|Mage on June 10, 2013, 02:29:51 pm
When you did those maps was it .maps map name or .load map name?

Thanks for the flag though, def good to look into it before we use them haha

not rly sure what you're asking but last week we played divide and conquer, not sure if I remember correctly but i think they couldnt get emerald to work or the d&c taverns, but the divide and conquer we hosted didn't have full obs/obs on defeat
Title: Re: King of FFA II!
Post by: FML|Mage on June 10, 2013, 02:41:02 pm
Ok, there are two ways to load maps.  By using the .map (map name) command or the .load (map name) command.  The former does not have any obs abilities, the latter does.  It's possible that the bot has not been configured for those maps yet though.  We'll check it out!

Sup Mage!!!

i have some questions sorry if i dont understand well  :icon_confused:
there are 4 rounds and the grand final.
 According to that if u dont win u can play later games to sub/fill, and if u win u are done for that week, some ppl can mass games if they are lucky even can play 3 games per week and might get more points than the previous winner?
Title: Re: King of FFA II!
Post by: FML|Renaud on June 10, 2013, 03:20:22 pm
If you play 3 games in a week, and get 2nd place every time, you wont end up with 45 points, only 15.

(points example is assuming its a 12 player game)
Title: Re: King of FFA II!
Post by: NoMercy2 on June 10, 2013, 03:28:56 pm
I see its like u will get points of ur better place of the 3 games?? (if someone played 3 games), is it right?

Hey Buddy!  Renaud answered the question, but only your best showing points wise for the week will be counted.  If you get 10 points Friday, 20 on Saturday, and 5 on Sunday you would only get to count the 20 point game on Saturday.  We do encourage showing up to games your not signed up for though, since the odds are pretty good we'll need some subs or fill ins!

Yeah, I din't remember what we decided, so I picked that ambiguous example :P

i dunno if this is a good idea/what everyone else thinks but have u considered doing a 6 player final?

We did, very seriously actually.  While it isn't going to be implemented this KoFFA, I think the door is open for it in future ones!

So far we have an article on WCR and TFT.Replayers promoting this.  We've had a great amount of turnout for only a day so far so I'm feeling very optimistic.  If anyone has other suggestions on what WC3 sites to promote the event then I'd love to hear them!

yo, once u have won a 12s ffa u should not be allowed to play another one during the same round, since u could help another one to get max points or similar stuff.

I'll clarify


If you WIN on Friday, you cannot play on Saturday or Sunday.

If you WIN on Saturday, you cannot play on Sunday.

Post by: Pinballmap on June 11, 2013, 03:01:34 pm
I still remember 1st KoFFA well.

Renaud finished 12th in the 12way then somehow he made amazing results in the following rounds and then he won the finals vs Maga,ashalar and Brainman :D

Games will be played on a low-ping multi realm host.  Meet in Clan FML on Azeroth before your game is scheduled to start and someone will help you out with finding the proper game.

Just a note, games do start today.  FML|Renaud and FML|Persuade at least should be there to help get games started smoothly.

Post by: FML|Mage on June 21, 2013, 01:06:22 pm
Ok, let's see if this helps.

Quote from: Battle.Net
To join a channel on Battle.net, click on the Channel button in your Battle.net interface. Select a channel from the list, or manually type in the desired channel name in the area provided, and click OK. You will then be placed in the designated channel.

As an alternative to the Channel button, the /join command may be used to quickly join a desired channel. Usage: /join [channel name] Example: "/join Clan FML"

Note that the terms "join" and "create" may often be used interchangeably when referring to battle.net chat channels. If a channel is empty when you enter it, then you are "creating" the channel - if it already has players when you enter it, then you are "joining" the channel

So when you click the channel button you enter "Clan FML" in the space provided and then click join.  If it gives you some type of error message then let me know and we can work from there.

Post by: FML|Mage on June 21, 2013, 01:16:49 pm
You are trying to join through US East, Azeroth correct?  You're not having anything to do with euro battle or whatever client you normally use?

No.  That's why I was talking about the Battle.net Realms.  The ping will be the same but you have to join from an official battle.net realm.
