Clans may make their attack announcements in this thread. Remember these rules and guidelines:

QuoteAll battle announcements must be made by Midnight CST on Tuesday, and settled upon by both clans by Midnight CST Thursday. If a large planet is being attacked, both maps must be fought one after the other, in the same server and will be arranged as such by SWBFgamers.

Battles will start when they are scheduled. We understand that coordinating these things is difficult, so admins will be somewhat forgiving about starting on time. But if the game is delayed by an unreasonable amount of time (as determined by the admin, and probably on the order of 10 minutes), we reserve the right to force a start or a forfeit.

The battle announcements must take the following form:
Attacking clan:
Defending clan:
Planet:
Proposed date and time of battle:
Attacker side: (If attacking a native-held planet)

When the defending clan makes their response to the attacker's post, they will select their side.

Only 1 match shall be held at any given time. If a time slot is already taken, another clan will have to choose a different one.

Only posts made in the correct place at swbfgamers.com are considered official. Xfire, GB, and other communications are encouraged but irrelevant for official matters. All official decisions (made by clans or admins) will be posted in these forums for all to see.

Restrictions:
i. Clans may only attack planets that are connected to one of their planets (or those of an allied clan. An official map of the galactic landscape will be posted once the planets have been chosen.

ii. If two clans decide to attack a neutral planet in the same week, then the battle will be held normally, with the clan that announced the attack first getting defender privileges. No more clans may attack a neutral planet after the first 2.

iii. Only one clan may attack a held planet at a time. First come first serve.

Also, alliances may be posted here, with the proviso that representatives from both clans must confirm the alliance.

Attacking clan: FC
Defending clan: Natives
Planet: Endor - Bunker
Proposed date and time of battle: Sunday July 22nd, 6PM EST
Attacker side: FC choose empire

Here is an updated 7z link for the map pack (73MB)
ICW Mod Map Pack Updated (http://www.speedyshare.com/suvRC/ICW-Mod-Maps.7z)

I removed a bunch of extra (1) lvl files that weren't needed and taking up space. Also I added two missing mapinfo.txt files, one for Tranquan and the other for Utapau. You can just make new text files to add into the folders manually or redownload the map pack from this link.

mapinfo.txt file for CTO folder (just make a new file named mapinfo.txt and paste in there)
GCW,TRANQUAN: TECH CENTRE,ctoa,alliance,imperial,200,200

And here is utapau mapinfo.txt
CW,UTAPAU: SINKHOLE CW,uta1c,CIS,republic,200,200
GCW,UTAPAU: SINKHOLE GCW,uta1a,alliance,imperial,200,200

The Dantooine mapinfo.txt looks like it might have bugs that should probably be tested by Led.

EDIT:
I was testing these maps in a server and it crashed on Coruscant City (corus1a). I don't think this map will work with the dedicated hosting tools.

Yes, city has issues with dedi software.  I can host at my house using a game disk, if a neutral site is needed.

Attacking clan: FC
Defending clan: Natives
Planet: Dantooine: Dust
Proposed date and time of battle: Sunday July 22nd, 7PM EST
Attacker side: FC chooses CIS

Attacking clan: YAK

Yes you are. You should probably pick a planet to attack now!

Couple reminders:
Each clan may make up to 2 attacks per week.
You can attack a neutral planet that is already being attacked.

Attacking clan: 212th
Defending clan: Native
Planet: Kamino
Proposed date and time of battle: July 21st Saturday 8pm Berlin time (2pm Est)
Attacker side: Era GCW 212 is Empire  :moo:

Don't forget that any average joe can participate in matches as natives, as long as the ratio is maintained (2 natives for every 3 attackers) and no more than 2 players per clan are there. First come first serve, and admins get first dibs.

There will probably be 1 or 2 more admins announced by the weekend.

Quote from: (212)Arrow on July 17, 2012, 06:27:17 PM
Attacker side: Era GCW 212 is Empire  :moo:

We are using stock Kamino, so 212 chooses Clones

Note the following minor amendment to the rules:

Quoteii. If two clans decide to attack a neutral planet in the same week, then the battle will be held normally, with the clan that announced the attack first getting defender privileges and the ability to choose sides. No more clans may attack a neutral planet after the first 2.

The justification for this is that the clan who attacks first should not be hurt for doing so.

Attacking clan: ELK
Defending clan: 212
Planet: Kamino
Proposed date and time of battle: Saturday, July 21st 2:00 PM EST
Attacker side: 212 has chosen Republic, so ELK will be CIS

Proposed Date and Time of Battle: Friday, July 20th, 6:00pm CST
Attacker side: YAK chooses Empire

FC attacks dantooine at this time. The original plan was to have only 1 server/match running at any given time. This rule may be relaxed depending on whether 4 admins will be online at this time (2 for each match), but I wouldn't bet on it. So could you change the time? 7central would be perfect.

The Battle announcement deadline has been moved to Wednesdays at midnight central.
Justification: No real need to dedicate Wednesday and Thursday just for fine-tuning the schedule. (and sluggishness from certain clans. Don't worry, I'll hurry them along.)

YAK and ELK are alligning. How should we go about doing so?

Frost, just post that you accept our offer...:shrug:

We are moving our attack on Utapau to 7:00pm CST.

Attacking clan: YAK
Defending clan: FC
Planet:Dantooine
Proposed time: Same as FCs
YAK gets Republic, since FC chose CIS

I'm wondering, since both FC and YAK are attacking Dantooine, will one or both clans have to fight natives first? Or is that process skipped and it automatically is considered clan attacking another clan-owned small planet?

If it is skipped, then the battle would be limited to 8 members from each clan, whereas a clan vs native battle would be unlimited members right?

You are correct. The native battle is skipped in this case and the battle is 8v8 max

Does there have to be an even amount of defenders and attackers? Or can one side have 6 while the other side has 8?

8v8 max. As in YAK can have as many as eight members battle, same with FC. If we fall short, they can still have 8, or vise-versa.

We won't fall short though. We have plenty of members. ;)

I would as well.

I would only think someone were stupid if they actually thought I was God. I don't think that is the case for anyone here, so I do not see the harm in this simple password.

Because a large number of other players (and my admins) have been told that the password is ovenisgod, some of whom rely on my xfire chats and not this forum for information, I cannot change it with such short notice, especially for today's game. Sorry, I will have it changed when I am confident that no one will be excluded from playing as a result.

I have removed the server password for right now.  I doubt that intruders will bother with the mod maps.  I will put in a new passwork for the Saturday servers once it can be sorted out.

For now, if anyone unexpected comes in, you will need to vote boot.

When possible, and when FC has the choice of server host location, we would prefer Chicago first, or Atlanta if that isn't feasible. Thanks.

I understand.  This time it was a timing issue.  I can see what I can do to move saturdays matches.

Oven thanks for under standing and respecting our belief.I apreciate it.

Alright, match 1 of YAK v. Natives went very well. YAK pulled a win over the defending natives. Here is the screenshot of final match results.

Congrats to YAK.

It was a good game, but I think ELK used too many members. They should only have been allowed to use 2 max according to the rules right?

Quote from: Oven on July 02, 2012, 09:31:15 PM

Alliances. A Clan may have at most one ally. Justification: this promotes diversity of factions, increases competition, and encourages clan development rather than powerful-friend development.

If clan A is allied with Clan B, these are the benefits:

i. Members of clan B may play as members of clan A in any situation. However the team must be composed of at least 2/3 clan A. Example: 6 members of Clan A show up to attack a planet. At most 3 allied clan members may help out.

That's what I understand, and so we had too many members. Perhaps we need a rematch?

ELK had too many members but the game will not be overturned due to the hassle of rescheduling and because it doesn't look like it would have affected the outcome of the game. In the future please observe the 1:2 rule

Question when there are to many allied clan members and more join who has the right to stay is it first come first serve or if you join some who has be on must leave.

This decision should be made by the leader or whoever is in charge of the match

I thought both YAK and ELK were the same clan divided in 2 groups or teams,not 2 different clans,so we could fill in the members in a Yak match with Elk and an Elk match with Yak. But since Yak and Elk are attacking different planets,the rule is the same with the other clans? (1:2 rule)

By leader you mean clan rep.Or a admin.right

Yes, a clan rep

212 v. ELK match, I was the admin in the server.  212 won the match, defending the planet.

http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/124604974-4.jpg

Please note, my screenshot doesn't show the ELK who joined the server late and didn't get a chance to play. Which brings me to another question, I had no idea what to do about this in the server.

Kamino has a bleed. By the time everyone had joined the server, the ticket count would have been down 20-30 reinforcements. Instead of a countdown, I made it very aware that the match would start once the server restarted. That led to many ELK not joining fast enough and not playing.

212 vs ELK on Kamino was unfair. Kamino had bleed, so we decided to capture the command posts and start the match as soon as the new map loaded. Due to this, many of the 212 members were spawned and capturing command posts before some of our members even joined. We had at least 3 members that did not get to partake or even spawn in the match, since we lost our CPs within 2 minutes.

I respectfully ask for a rematch sometime today while our members are still online.

Good game with ELK on Mustafar but we could have done with more natives to make for a better game. Also if we know theres no Australians (or NZ and other nearby countries :) ) in a match/clan would it be possible to have an East coast server since quite a few Europeans are playing and we're getting pings of around 240.

ELK v. natives on Mustafar.  Congrats to ELK.

http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/124605864-4.jpg

I will not be online for the next battle, GRC v. UEF at 4:00 pm Est. on Tech Center.

Remember, A Native team may contain literally anyone, including tournament Admins, other clan members, and other members of SWBFgamers who are interesting in participating, so show up and play!

GG everyone!

I mentioned this to Jamman, but I think I may have a solution for starting maps that have bleed.

Like most games, everyone joins the server and gets situated and practices, then when it's time for the battle to start one team captures the command posts to allow the map to switch. I think all players should get accounted for and then once the next map starts you wait until a certain number on the reinforcement count.

Example: On Kamino, since both sides bleed, you could set both reinforcements to 230 or so, since it's on 200 on the map normally. Once the reinforcement bleeds to 200, then that could start the game and the Admin could say go.

Just my thoughts, although I don't really have a solution for maps that only one side bleeds at the start. Perhaps modding it.
--
EDIT: Also, I would like a rematch with 212 on Kamino that will not take away from our 2 attacks per week. Thanks.

I believe bleed can be removed from mod maps via hex editing. But changing startup bleed to regular bleed, would be much harder to hex edit, although still possible i think.

Okie, so today was the battle between GRC vs. UEF.
UEF won, but the GRC guy was alone  :blink:
so i think we should rematch or something like that :D

Sunday Servers have been made.

Phobos made a 250 ticket Ord Mantel Mission.  Ive hosted it at home.  It will ping 9999.  Make sure everyone knows how to get in 9999 servers.  I could host it by DC if needed.

The other servers are hosted in Atlanta.

This is the week where bugs in the system are found. And so far, we have found several. I assure everyone that they will be resolved in a timely manner

So is there a re-match between 212 and Elk???

Just to make sure, in the rules it says when a clan attacks another clan on a small planet, the attackers get to choose sides. But in the case of both clans attacking a native-owned planet (like fc and yak attacking dantooine), its set up so the first clan to announce the attack gets to pick side (which would be the defending clan)?

These rules remind me of doing my taxes  ;)

Correct Phobos and Led.

Nixo, that has yet to be decided.

Oven, Sha Zam, ; I think a rematch will be possible on Monday 7/23/12 We will not fight on Sunday. It can be a 4v4 Same time 2pm EST 8pm Berlin time. With what ever changes need to be made to make the match as fair as possible :) Although I'm not sure how many members will show.

If you want a YAK I can be there. I think It's 7pm u.k. :)

Yes, very good battles fought today. Congrats to those who won, its quite the competitive tournament.

Just a reminder, if an admin is observing the game and is clearly doing so by being spawned as a jet on a roof out of combat in prone position, do not shoot the admin, especially if the admin had already asked you not to.

And please remember, letter H. under Rules of Engagement.

I will not be able to compete in any battles from 7:00am-6:00pm Monday-Friday CST due to my football practice schedule. Hopefully we can plan our battles this weekend (12:00 and 2:00pm CST for our battles is best for most members to participate) If I miss any battles, good luck YAK and ELK!

Congratulations to all clans for a good Week 1. Almost everybody gained new ground and from here on out all battles will be clan-on-clan.

Week 2 Thread (http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=4970.0) contains a summary of the new galactic landscape. You may announce battles there between now and Wednesday at 12 central.

I don't think there has been an offical battle made yet... Is there going to be ELK present for the 4v4? I think the battle should be soon someone needs to lauch attacks from Kamino!  :xmastim:

I don't know about the rest of the ELKs, but I should be able to make it at that time.

Scratch that, I won't be available today until at least 7 or 8 PM EST. If you guys still want to do the battle, that's fine with me I just won't be able to make it.

2:30pm EST There was no ICW admins online and due to no ICW Kamino server being I thought it was best to call off the 212vELK rematch.... I would like somthing done  :wacko:

There was no official battle taking place at that time. Shazam said he would talk to you about rematch times, and you guys would do it at a time when an ICW admin is online. I assume you have all admins added so that you can talk to them over xfire. I can't do it during the week.

I think you and shazam both know the rules pretty well so if you can pull off a fair fight for which the outcome is agreed upon by both representatives, then you may do it without an admin.

I was planning on a 4v4 at the soonest time possible. I want ComFrost and myself present (and two others, obviously) and also 4 of your members. Nixo, Vixx, and you are online a lot. Can you make sure they can participate? (and find one more member)

well i guess we are going to have to not attack anyone from kamino this week. So Sha Zam how does this Saturday at 8pm Berlin time 2pm EST a 6v6 maybe? ;)

wendesday 2pm est?  :shrug:

...Sometimes I wonder about you. ::)

As stated above, I will not be available from about 7:00am to 6:00pm CST. 2:00 EST is 1:00 CST, I will not be online then.

Tomorrow or Thursday from 7:00pm-9:00 would be the best time, but I am a little flexible with my schedule.

EDIT: Hmm, that would be awfully late for you... time restraints are a bummer.

Sorry 212 cant work with your scheudle  :'(

In regards to the rematch, I will be available today from about 2-4 PM EST, and then I won't be available until Friday. I might not be available on Friday either. Honestly, I think we should just cancel the rematch and give Kamino to 212. They only have one other planet...

If you are planning a re-match I would get the server sorted out in advance that last one was very laggy then crashed (I appreciate 212 hosting though :) ).

So Sha zam and comfrost are not availible this week till the weekend O_o oh geez rematch will have to be weekend...

If other YAK and ELK want to rematch without us, I suppose they could. Just make sure to have an Admin present, since neither YAK or ELK representatives will be there.

Please decide soon.  :ohmy:

I am posting because Im tired of this back and forth and no decision being made. So lets Be clear, Sha-zam is ok to have the battle if him and comfrost cant make it. We need to know if Yak/ELK can have at least 4 players on wed, thur, or friday. and if an admin is available one of those days? The server isnt an issue as long as we let gdh92 know in decent time before the battle. Or Sha-Zam and comfrost need to discuss if they still want to delcare a rematch. Thanks and if i broke a rule by posting i will remove myself from the tournament. - Norris

Everyone is encouraged to post in these threads.

I had hoped for a resolution by tonight so that the victor could make battle plans. At this point, I don't care how you guys resolve it. You can do a 1v1, 2v2, ..., planetary trades, under-the-table-deals...If you guys want an admin to attend a match, just talk to them. Here are active admin xfires one more time:

ovenlovesyou
wildisbeast
jammy19
rtlbuckler

Suffice it to say that in the future, if a battle's results are contested, they must be contested immediately after the game ends, by messaging one of the ingame admins over xfire.

I think we should have rock paper siccsors contest :XD: But I don't think we can fit a rematch.... maybe a 2v2? but i think that will be too um boring and useless :( In my opinion I think 212 should keep Kamino.

I am a member of ELK and agree with Arrow and ComFrost.I think 212 should be allowed to keep the planet because they have only one other. If Elk wants it they will just have to attack it. :cheers:

I tend to agree with this as well, "unofficially" of course. Are there any grave objections to giving 212 the planet?

212 should keep it, I don't mind. We don't need to argue anymore, someone should change the map.

Thanks guys, Im glad that is over with  :tu: Now may we continue on with the tournament!  :D
