Title: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread
Post by: {PLA}gdh92 on August 12, 2012, 06:57:25 AM
If you want to take part in the SWBF leaderboards please sign up below either as an individual or as a team of 4. Hopefully we can get a good number of players and have some good games. The rules are below.

Rules and outline:
The swbf leaderboards tournament will be split into two sections one for individuals and one for teams of four and will start on September 1st. Thanks to Led/Buckler it will be hosted by SWBFgamers.

Individuals:
The first 20 (I'm optimistic) people to join will be be given random numbers to order them in the scoreboard. If you want to move up in the rankings you need to challenge someone within 3 places of you(for example number 7 can challenge 6, 5 or 4). If you win you take their place and they move down one. New players have to start at the bottom and work up.

Every player is expected to accept 2 challenges a week but there is no maximum. Admins will oversee any matches where a player requests it but both players can agree to no admins before matches. If you want screenshots from the other player you can also arrange this before the match. There would be a time limit of 20 minutes per match for individuals (then first kill wins for ties). There will be no CP bleed (meaning reenforcements will only go down with kills but CPs can be captured. Ticket count will be 15-15.

Teams:
Teams must have 6 registered members and can change only one member a week. Time limit is 30 minutes per match. Other rules are the same as individuals except teams can only challenge within two places and there will be CP bleed. Ticket count will be 250-250.

Both:
The defender would choose the era and map from Cloud city and Mos Eisley with the condition that 2 people cannot play the same map twice in a row. The attacker would choose the team. Gameplay would be capturing cps but no special units for the sake of balance, there will be no AI.

Rules:
1.Screenshots must be taken of all scores.
2.No mods (minimap always on, transparency etc.) Only crosshairs and player skins are allowed.
3.No cussing/swearing
4.No wall hacking
5.Remember this just a game so be nice and play fairly with other players.
6.No challenging the same player more than 2 weeks in a row.
7.No special units (Jets, Wookie or Droideka)
8.No tanks
9.If an admin is requested for a match the match must start within 10 minutes of the proposed time. It will  then start regardless of how many players are present.
10.Matches are based on the position of the players before the match not the leaderboard. Example: If player 5 beats 4 he is then out of range of player 8 even if the leaderboard has not been updated yet. Its not as confusing as that sounds.
11. Challenges must be accepted within 6 days and played 2 days after that or you will be moved below the challenger.
12.Any arguments over matches must be posted the same day     

Penalties for breaking these rules will normally take the form of a place drop.

15. TcF Moya

1. FC/Invis (Fate, Nino, Elite and Rage)
2. TCF
3. 212 (Nixo, Purreboy, Norris, Adamus, Mart and Arrow(?) )

Thanks for setting this up GDH.   I would like to participate.

Post by: {PLA}gdh92 on August 12, 2012, 07:08:33 AM
I'm still learning as I go :) Assuming you can host It will be Mos Eisley and Cloud City for teams and individuals both will have cps but individuals will be no cp bleed. I'll update the rules for ticket count but im thinking 15 for singles and 250 for teams. Also if you want to change the thread title to SWBFgamers.com leaderboards please do. I didn't do it beacuse I wanted to check with you.

Ultimately it depends on who the admins are. If they would make biased decisions they shouldn't be an admin at all. Any admin should be capable of thinking fairly and be able to take all factors into account in order to come to a fair decision. The people who are capable of doing this are far and few between as us humans have a remarkable ability to get stuck in our opinions on who we think is right and refuse to acknowledge any new facts that may change the situation. I think your going to find that no matter how it is done the admins will make mistakes or poor decisions. After all we are only humans.

I agree. All I recommend is that the Admins don't participate in the 4v4. You cant really cheat on 1v1.

I already said I wouldn't do 4on4 and hopefully very few of the 1on1s will need admins ;).  Also if anyone doesn't want me or Sev to participate and doesn't want it public feel free to private message one of us.

Is this going to be on any map? or a mod map? Or just cloud city?
Title: Re: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread
Post by: {PLA}gdh92 on August 14, 2012, 10:28:03 AM
It will be Cloud City and Mos Eisley (says in the 'both' section of the rules). I would have liked to do more maps but I don't want to use up too much server space and I would like to keep it on the official servers. For now we will use unmodded maps since glitching and mods aren't allowed in the tournaments but if we get problems we might have to use a map like the tournament version of cloud city. I also want to avoid using addon maps so new players can join without having to learn how to use them straight away.

Changed. Also I see [LK] has quite a few members so maybe you could have a team aswell and show the older battlefront clans how it's done. :)
Title: Re: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread
Post by: Phobos on August 14, 2012, 11:43:01 AM
gdh92 just told me on xfire that map skin mods like cloud city twilight are not allowed. I will be removing myself from this tournament unless this rule is changed. I expect others may also lose interest for being forced to use stock map skins in duels. I had enough of that in Sk's tournament that ugly orange skin on cloud city is just too unbearable. maybe someone else can set up a leaderboards/tournament with not so many restrictions?

i really hope the 'transparency' issue is not the reason why because transparency can be added to player skins just as easily as building skins.
Title: Re: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread
Post by: {PLA}gdh92 on August 14, 2012, 12:04:00 PM
If you had let me get further than than saying 'technically no' before swearing at me and calling me a hater you might learn something. Before you logged off I was trying to say that although I don't want skins like the transparent skin if you told the person you were playing I couldn't see a problem with that skin.
I want this tournament to be more relaxed than others but I put a blanket ban on mods so that there were no 'gray areas' and so new players can enjoy it aswell. For the record I have alot of respect for the work you do and have in the past stood up for your mods but all I've done is tried to make a way for people to have a bit of extra enjoyment in this game and I don't want to be abused for it especially through private messanging when I'm not even doing anything with battlefront. (I don't mind general conversations if I'm on x-fire).
I'll take your name down but hopefully we can work this out.

I concur with Phobos, if map skins aren't allowed then I will not be participating in this tournament. I'm sorry but I just can't stand the CC stock map. :rtfm:
Title: Re: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread

If you do decide to allow twilight map skins, then the roster for our 4v4 will include Fate, Nino, Elite, and myself.

I'm sorry to hear it but thank you for being honest. I had hoped to include all the regular players but finding a balance is impossible when some people wont play when there is mods. The best I can offer is that if both players agree modded skins are fine you can use them but ultimately this is a Battlefront tournament and we can only change the game so much before it becomes unfair. I'm sorry we couldn't work this out but hopefully this way some people can be happy.

Title: Re: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread
Post by: SleepKiller on August 14, 2012, 02:18:40 PM
This is why I had the matches take place inside an addon map. I mean who visits this site who hasn't installed one? And it is the only truly reliable method of stopping people from cheating. Taking screenshots can be gotten around, I won't be saying how but it can be beat quite easily.
Title: Re: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread
Post by: {PLA}gdh92 on August 14, 2012, 02:24:37 PM
It would be up to the players involved to say before the match how much they wanted checked. On request there would be admins available and players would have to take screenshots. It's not a route I want to go down as I believe most people will stick to the rules which is why I'm leaving it as a choice. For later in the tournament I'm looking at using a mod map for the top 10 as requested by some people.

The rule is staying but if the team you play against agrees to use skins I don't mind. I'll leave the team up for now, if you want me to take it down just edit your post to say so and I will theres no need to send me more abuse. :)

im just saying why not let ppl who want to use mods use them and ppl who dont want to use mods let them not use them. maybe we could have another thread for discussing that

Post by: Oven on August 14, 2012, 04:33:19 PM
My two cents (and you get what you pay for): allow skin modifications, at the very least. Screenshots can be trivially gotten around by using a skin changer, unless you want the players to not even have skin changer installed. (This would be truly unfair, as participants would then have have to uninstall and reinstall CCSC for any match.)

Off the top of my head I can think of no strategic advantage offered by, say, the CC twilight skin. Can anyone else?

Mines are easier to see, people stick out more.

EDIT: Also everyone (Including myself.) should just move along and let the Tournament Admins decide what happens. This is a discussion that shouldn't be gotten into.

If you're referring to the chamber on CC twilight then yes, it is easier to spot the mines but otherwise it doesn't really make a difference. I still get blown up by mines in the chamber anyway.

I'll update the list again now. Thanks to everyone who's still joining.
It seems the people for and against mod skins are pretty much even but it's easy enough to turn off. I will say this for the final time; I have every respect for the mods that are made for this game but if the lighting is changed on a map it does, even in a small way, change the gameplay. If both players/teams are happy I don't mind if it's used though. If players request it videos might have to be made but thats alot of effort for players so I want to avoid it.

I hope everyone can just get along and enjoy the tournament, I only started it for fun and that seems to be something I'm not getting out of it anymore but hopefully others will. :)

If people have any changes they want to the rules/I've missed something please continue to let me know, the only thing I'm considering changing at the moment is to do with the request for a mod map for the top players later in the tournament.

So now you're letting everyone else except me use mod map skins? Really goes to show how you were just looking for a reason to exclude FC members. Nobody can claim they respect my cloud city skin mods when they exclude people from participating for using them. Thank god you will never be getting mmsc this just thread goes to show how far people can take contributions for granted.

I'm going to start another leaderboards tournament with map skin mods allowed the thread will be up later today or tomorrow.

Oven made a good point. Since everyone else is just going to be using cloud city skin changer to put it on stock mode when you guys ask for a screenshot, you truly have no way of preventing people from using twilight skins. You are just excluding the few people who are brave enough to stand up for the mods..

I said anyone can use the twilight mod skin if both teams agree (I've talked to Sev about this and he agrees). I'm not sure how that excludes FC members members, or what they have to do with this sorry if I wasn't clear. Out of interest is it just the twilight skin you want to use or other mods?

I only care about/would only use twilight skins, and I clearly stated if I am allowed to use the skin keep my name on the list, if not then remove it. So you removed my name, but now you are saying twilight skins are ok as long as both teams agree? Sounds fishy.

He's not looking to exclude anyone.  He just wants people to follow a consistent set of rules.  You are welcome to participate or not participate--same as WUSI was for the radar mod being allowed in the ICW--and they elected to not participate.

I'm going to start another leaderboards tournament with map skin mods allowed the thread will be up later today or tomorrow.

Excellent.

Quote from: Phobos on August 15, 2012, 04:50:54 AM
Oven made a good point. Since everyone else is just going to be using cloud city skin changer to put it on stock mode when you guys ask for a screenshot, you truly have no way of preventing people from using twilight skins. You are just excluding the few people who are brave enough to stand up for the mods and that is LOW.

If people are asked to use the stock map, then they should respect the rule and intent of the tournament.  Just because it's possible to not follow the rules and get away with it, it does not mean it's the right thing to do. This has nothing to do with being brave or LOW.  If anything, maybe it's just standing up for the stock map.

I wish your leaderboard thread to be successful.

Well we already know at least some of the others will be abusing the rule then by using CCSC in conditions where the other team has asked them not to use any map skin mods. Unless you have a surefire way to prevent anyone from using it, if you do I'd like to hear it.

I said twilight skins were ok if both teams agreed when you first asked about the rule over X-fire. I removed your name because I thought thats what you wanted. I'll gladly put it back if you're happy with the current rules. I just want to have as many people involved as possible and have a good time. :)

Edit: Sorry posted at the same time as others. I'm not feeling well at the moment and I'm half asleep. Whatever happens this is just game and I wish you the best of luck and will gladly join your tournament.

After the past few days I think you're right. If you're happy for me to use your Cloud city map I will have it for the top 10 after the first 2 weeks assuming that no one has any issues with that.

Yes, we know--but GDH is firm about his wanting to use a map without people having to download.  He is aware of the advantages and disadvantages.  Since it is his tournament idea, we should let him run it as he sees fit.

We will have to just trust that players don't violate the rules or the spirit of the rules.

As I stated in the readme anyone is free to use it as they will. That wasn't what I was thinking exactly when I said "tournament map" since FC would most likely drop out if it was used. Truth be told I don't know what I was thinkinh half the time I don't. "I'm a dog chasing cars. I don't think I just do."

Post by: Phobos on August 15, 2012, 05:32:23 AM
As long as I get to use twilight skin for the majority of the time (since I'm sure most players wouldn't object to it) then I suppose I could live with using the ugly orange stock skin :censored: for the few instances where it is mandatory. I still have sleepkillers tournament map in my secondary addon folder, I think it was a good way to force the exact play conditions the host wants. Maybe this concept could be expanded on to allow for both teams on CC, and on mos also.

Thank you and I'm glad we could work this out. I'll add your name back now. Theres plenty of time to add new maps later in the tournament to keep things entertaining so I'll definately consider that. :)
Edit: If Nino wants to come back now the rules have been clarified that would be good to see.

Mod maps won't be until later anyway. I'll do my best to find a way for you not to use them. Is it a problem where one of your players can't use them or you just don't want to?

Until me and Sev have discussed this it applies only to teams where we need a clear idea of members. While sooner is better individuals are welcome to join and work their way up later in the tournament. :)

Yes there's no limit to teams from anywhere and all team members can also be in the 1on1, and thanks I was starting to get worried about the teams.
Just in case anyones unsure the limit of six people is a guideline; if you're confident you can make it to matches you can just have 4 or 5, but the other team has the right to start with the full 4 people even if you only turn up with 3 :)

I guess I'll give it a shot, but I'm still not 100% convinced if I will be able to participate for the whole duration of this tournament. Events outside SWBF may coincide with the tourny, particularly near the end of September... so you can put me on the temporary list for now.

I would really like to participate, but unfortunately I don't think that I'll have time, especially if the ICW is still going. I might join later and start at the bottom if I find that I have time.

In regards to the common.lvl, I can just make a video of the main things that it changes. It mostly changes the text and makes the scope more realistic when you zoom in, as far as I can see.
Title: Re: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread
Post by: {PLA}gdh92 on August 18, 2012, 08:26:44 AM
I'll put not confirmed by your name for now then. Since you were there from the beggining and sign ups are slowing down now I'll leave you in the top 20 unless you definately won't be here (there should be very few battles going on in the ICW by then since there's effectively only 2 teams left). Unless it changes anything else I can't see a problem with that common.
Also if YAK want to participate, it would be less battles than the ICW and I can't be a part but it would be nice to see YAK continue. :)
Title: Re: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread
Post by: ComFrost on August 24, 2012, 09:06:33 AM
Can I drop out if I don't have time? Or forfeit battles that I don't have time for?
Title: Re: SWBF leaderboards - Sign up thread
Post by: {PLA}gdh92 on August 24, 2012, 11:01:49 AM
Anyone can drop out. It's not legally binding. ;) As long as you don't forfeit a planned battle there won't be any penalties for missing the the odd match as long as you don't miss 3 or more since people can challenge within 3 places so you will just get moved down anyway if you don't play much. :)

The tournament map is one of a few ideas I'm considering for later in the tournament if people using mods becomes a problem for players. For now no downloads are needed to play. :)

I'll be sure to make it on BF when I can.  ;) I just don't know if I'll be able to commit to something like a tourney in the first month of school. I'll probably come to one and done things like DCs and Sleepkiller's Courtyard Bash that will be just an hour or two on a Saturday afternoon. :D

I'll tell ComCody, he might want to participate. IDK if he will have internet back then or not though...  :shrug:

Hey guys -

Sorry, but I have too much homework to do so I am dropping out of the tournament. I will let another one of my members Gambit take my spot.

His email is gambitswbf@gmail.com, and his xfire is gambit556 if you ever need to contact him.
