Would it ever be possible?

The Entropia Forum Tournament Discussion Thread

To set up a nock-out tournament with a selection of clans. The tourney would have a low entrance fee and most, if not all, of the money would go towards the prize (the prize would differ depending how much money is raise). The general idea is to have the contenders go into an apartment from two different entrances and fight. The basic rules would be:

-No exiting the arena(apartment) before the match is over

-No-one is to enter the arena after the match has started (pretty easy to do with the property owner at the terminal).

-If any-one fires outside of the apartment or cheats in anyway, their opponent will be made winner of that match.

That’s pretty much it, i think it’d be fun to have a tourney but i want C & C before organising it. And the fact remains that i lack an apartment.

Hmm… I think you just solved the problem of Battle Tournaments! :slight_smile:

It’s an excellent idea you just posted and it would certainly stop people ruining it for everyone else…

here.. have some +Rep :smiley:

I was pondering the idea for a long time before i came here. The other fun death game would be hide and seek extreme. Using the first 5 floors of the appartment building, let a clan in to form and ambush, 30 secs later let the other clan in.

i gotta be with ulti here, its a very nice idea, and the way to solve those cheating problems.

Do you think i should post my idea in general rather than the noobs corner and what kind of pricing should i put? There needs to be pricing so i can actually make a decent prize. The prize would most likely be the apartment we use, I was hoping to raise enough for a medium or large apartment. Although it would work best if there were several people letting the tourney use thier apartments.

I’ll just move this thread to general, as for starting an event like this we have an ā€œEventsā€ forum.

That wont work, if the appartment owner turns OFF entrance while there are ppl in the appartment, the ones inside will be kicked out automatically, i tried it at the EF party, ppl was kicked to the balcony or outside at the door.

they could just stand in the doorway couldn’t they?

The owner Will only allow the combantant’s to enter… No one else (but the owner). No problem there…

Yep… but I think rather than an apartment, a Hanger would be better. :slight_smile:

If you have a hanger for it to happen in, im willing to use it :stuck_out_tongue: . But the likelyhood is that we’d only ever get one hanger to use, that would restrict us to one battle at a time. I think apartments would be better because multiple people can have matches at one time then. If it is a nock-out with 1v1 matches.

Ok so the owner has to allow in only the contestants, and i would prefer if there was regulations on what items migh tbe laying around. Because having a table in some matches but not others is kinda unfair because it provides cover for people.

EDIT:
I’d really like peoples opinion on the price to enter?

It’s pvp but weve already established a way around this

The winner should get to pull a skill from the looser or they get pulled before the game. :laugh:

if you are worried about people hiding behind a table then you don’t want to do it in a hanger as the ship never leaves it :wink:

Lol fair enough, it was a fairly petty thing, i was just thinking that some players might complain if there was difference in thier surrounding from one match to the next. But i think it would be nice to use a hanger and it means we don’t have to have just 1v1 matches. I was thinking it’d be fun to try a kind of caputer the skull. Have two sculls dropped, one in each ā€˜base’. The ā€˜bases’ should be as far away from each other as possible and both be equal space from an enterance. The object is to get the other teams skull from thier ā€˜bases’ to the owner (outside).

i think the only person who owns a hanger in a pvp area is deathifier, so you would have to ask him :wink:

I shall pm him, just out of curiosity what address should i email if i wanted to talk to some-one from Mindark. I was going to email or pm Marco but hes on holiday, I was hoping to get three trophies. I can model them and I would be willing to give mindark any profit made on the tournament if they so wish. It would also be nice to get some champagne to spray around in celebration along with a possible picture of the three best contenders. I was thinking stand them on the podium at billy’s then after lots of screen shots have give them their appropriate awards (gold ,silver ,bronze ). Possibly framing one of the screenshots.

Although I don’t rate my chances of getting those items.

EDIT:
Deathifier has been pmified .

EDIT2:
Deathifier has agreed but warned me that you cannot go into the space the ship takes up even if the ship isn’t there.

I was also thinking if we use the hangar he owns then there is the possibility of veiwing from the ship, this could make some money i could pay deathifier with (if he wants it) or more prize money. I just need an email to contact some-one from MindArk at.

This is great, i just went to see the hangar. It could easily fit 3v3 or 4v4 matches with ample room, if both enterances were opened those would be thier enterance points. Perfect symetry for the capture the skull idea. According to deathifier we could quite possibly have veiwing from the ship, this is think would be nice. I can’t see many veiwing points though :frowning: the cockpit and the two side guns look pretty nice for veiwing out of, but i see no other windows.

Why not use the observation levels or the main floor and promonade as arenas.

What, can you explain your post more fully. I also advise you to read the whole thread. It has to be an owned place as well so people can’t just have thier friends go and kill people whilst they (the friends) don’t compete.

Since I’m currently the owner of a bugged ship which I left up at the space station, I can confirm that after a few days of leaving your ship up there, if you go back into your hanger, there is nothing there but an empty hanger which would provide plenty of empty space for a pvp battle.
