Linking up profiles
If things are like the last tourney, make sure to put # TEAMCAPTAIN Flun on the first line of your 0.13 .rc file. I think the tourney website will go up sometime today or tomorrow so we can make sure they are linked correctly. --Flun (talk) 16:29, 7 October 2013 (CEST)
Species / Background / God strategy
The team scores bonus points for every distinct species, background and god (S/B/G) that we win with. This bonus is based on the number of wins for that particular S/B/G that have been recorded at the **start** of the game. Given these rules, the bonus points for the popular S/B/Gs will tend to decrease over time while the rarer S/B/Gs will give bigger bonuses over time. Hence I suggest we try to win the popular S/B/Gs first, which will also be the easier combos, so that we get the max amount of bonus points from them as possible.
From the last tourney, we can use this list to see which were the most common S/B/Gs.
Most won S/B/Gs
- Species: Mi, HO, DE, DD
- Background: Be, Fi, Gl, FE
- Gods: Oka, Trog, Vehumet, Makhleb
Lastly, since the bonus you get is based on the number of wins that happened before the start of your game, you don't have to worry about racing to win a particular S/B/G before someone else does. Once you start your game, the bonus points for that game are already decided. If you do die and have to restart, then of course the bonus points may have changed. This means that taking your time and playing carefully may be more important than playing fast.
Anyone have comments? --Flun (talk) 16:42, 9 October 2013 (CEST)
Planned combos
I will probably go for a HOFi or HOGl first, MoogleDan said he wants to do a CeBe. Does anyone want to do a Mi[Gl/Fi] or DEFE? --Flun (talk) 16:42, 9 October 2013 (CEST)
I was thinking that I would start with a DDEE - but I am comfortable starting with MiFi or DEFE - I have had success with both in the past. I am also planning on playing smarter this year, aiming for 3 rune victories at first to try and maximize earlier opportunities for S/B/G related points, and going for extended games later. Flun - if one of those combos work better in the overall plan, just let me know. --sildraith (talk) 21:17, 9 October 2013 (CEST)
- Did you want to go extended with a DDEE or DEFE? Maybe you can get a quick MiFi in before. I'll probably go HOGl as a first char then. Of course don't feel like you are forced to play a certain combo, feel free to switch if you are splatting a lot. --Flun (talk) 21:34, 9 October 2013 (CEST)
- I'm thinking about starting with a SpEn since we don't have it covered yet and can be done quickly. I will probably move on to the new races afterwards. --HilariousDeathArtist
- Great - those were the 6th most species wins and 7th most background wins last tourney - and we look to have a good mix of winnable starting combinations. I went ahead and added it to the starting combos listed on the page - change it if you change your mind, etc. Look forward to talking to everyone during the tourney! --sildraith (talk) 17:29, 11 October 2013 (CEST)
Connection issues
Hmm, looks like I'll get a late start on this one. I appear to be having connection issues.
It probably doesn't help that a couple of garages down the street caught fire. That might have something to do with it. --spudwalt (talk) 19:48, 11 October 2013 (CEST)
- What kind of connection issues? Internet in general? Connecting to a specific server? --Flun (talk) 20:15, 11 October 2013 (CEST)
- I'm trying to start up 0.13 on CAO, but it keeps hanging on the loading screen. I'll try CZSO, and see if that helps at all. --spudwalt (talk) 20:39, 11 October 2013 (CEST)
