Administration
Lead Admins:
Dark Phantom (xfire: phantom567459)
Oven/Joseph (joseph9371)
Admins:

Syrion (nykwoonjinn)
More admins please!
Make attacks here!
Battles should by default be scheduled for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. However, if both clans agree, and an admin can commit to coming, then it's OK to schedule earlier in the week. Attacks absolutely must be posted by Wednesday at midnight EST.
Of course, clans may only attack planets which are connected by a line (in the tournament map) to a planet they currently control.
Format your attacks thusly:
Attacking clan:
Defending clan:
Planet:
Date:
Time (EST):
Attacker era/side:
Server location:
In the beginning, each clan may make 2 attacks per week. Because the tournament will have a shorter week-wise duration than previously, we may raise the limit to 3 if the first week(s) go well, if the community consents, and if we have enough admin support.
If a clan forfeits, their planets become native held, and attackers will face a team of "native". Anyone may show up as a native. However in this case the natives may be outnumbered by attackers. But there is a limit of 2 members per clan on the native side.
Clans can make planet announcemenets i.e. "call dibs" before officially listing times, as before.
American games will be hosted by SWBFGamers.

By permission of Joseph, I am posting here. As you should all know I am acting as an Admin this year. If clans want to schedule attacks for weekdays, rather than weekends, I am usually free at this point during the daytime, in the Central Standard Time of the US.(GMT-5 I believe.) So if you want to schedule an attack during that time let me know. ;)

Everyone, please scrap whatever map pack you currently have, we (DP and Phobos) are still working on the final version. It will be ready by the weekend. I think we'll replace Death Star with Tranquaan or Mygeeto.

I just wanted to remind this to all clans, cause it seems like only FC/UEF have posted our attacks...
Maybe you didn't see their posts, but Dark_Phantom and Shazam actually have posted the attacks for BOB and YAK respectively.

Also Majesty said that he didnt have those 75 members he presumed to have, and that PFA might drop cause maybe it would be only him who would show up in the battles.
Any official word about whether PFA will drop the ICW4? Majesty sounds like he doesn't really care.
I agree. We'll find out on Saturday at the latest.
Quote[18:36] Joseph: if PFa is making attacks, you need to post or tell me within 5 hours
[18:38] Joseph: are you avoiding talking to me?
[18:38] ~PFA~ Majesty Leader: wait a minute bro.
[18:43] ~PFA~ Majesty Leader: <This user is now offline>
Quote[12:30] Joseph: is pfa in the tournament or not
[12:30] Joseph: I need an answer now
[13:01] ~PFA~ Majesty Leader: <3 oven <3 :)
[13:01] ~PFA~ Majesty Leader: <This user is now offline>
(If they drop, then the clans which attacked their planets will play natives on Sat).
He said it you joined PFA into the tournament without his permission and that he didn't really care about the tournament cause he didnt have enough members
Quote from: Anyder on July 17, 2014, 02:03:00 PM

False, he was still unsure when the entry deadline arrived, so he agreed to provisionally enter, knowing they could drop out later.
PFA is no longer participating.
Okay so now GRC and BOB are attacking natives? Any other changes?

Same goes for FC/UEF at Egypt.
Please read this post!
1. Here's the map pack, for real, I promise.
ICW4 Official Map Pack (http://speedy.sh/X83fa/ICW4-Official-Map-Pack.7z)
Phobos put a lot of effort into finalizing the map pack, despite having no obligation, which I greatly appreciate.
2. I added a battle schedule to the OP; check for errors.
3. A reminder about Native battles: There is no limit on either team's numbers. But each clan list can have at most two members represented.
4. Speaking of clan lists, remember to keep yours updated. This weekend, if players show up ingame who aren't on a clan-list, who want to play for a clan and not as mercs, we'll let them -- but their name then goes on that clan's list, forever.

Also there were some weird lags, and i can assure it wasn't me cause before the match i rebooted my router just in case... http://zhtw.xfire.com/video/629a52/
Some pre-game pics I thought were worth sharing. Half of them involve Sauce doing something weird.

I thought I left way before most did, and we had to have only 4 YAKs. I guess I should have stayed. :slap:
It doesnt really matter lol, i just wanted to say that the match was a 2vs4, in case someone thought somehing else.
FC+UEF takes Nar Shaddaa. GG
Crappy video: http://classic.xfire.com/video/629b29/
(In the future I'll use bandicam+youtube)
A GRC member made a false start and killed two people. I'm sure it was a misunderstanding, but in the future, there will be some penalty.
Good game, FC/UEF!

Why not? And when you say fake your mean just different names to what you know them by? They have nothing to lose in a way + it can be a bit of fun.

Because if we use our real name, as we must, why not them ?
Anyway Joe saw my point

Read this:
3. Starting this week, use your clan list name(s) only. I may know who you are, but others won't. If you want to use other names, have them added to your clan list next to your original name.
That rule does not apply to mercenaries though?
Some of the mercenaries are not in any of the participating clans, so they don't have a name on a list anywhere that they would have to go by. If they can choose any name, I would think that all mercenaries should be allowed to use whatever name they please. (as long as it's appropriate)
No, if they merc. we wanna know who they are.
If they wanna hide their name it must be because of something.
So if their name is not any member list, they shall use the name they use here, or tell us who they are.
Anyder is correct, mercenaries must use their name that was put on their clan list, and if they are not on a clan list, then they must use their normal names.
Or at least they should use the same name on every match they play.

Certainly this is preferable, but we can't conveniently enforce it.

Who exactly would be "we"? And, well, people use fake names for a lot different reasons, don't really see why that should be forbidden for mercenaries. "Shall", almost sounds like you're in command, does it not? I don't think it matters, you can check IPs now, anyway.
Oven might be able to, but not the rest of the players.
And please, if u don't play the tourney I don't really see why u gotta post here... don't look for drama please. It's already decided for week 2... We wanna know who we're fighting.

Don't really see why that matters, and I'm not really trying to stir up "drama". This was just in discussion. Whether I play or not, is my business.

Whats wrong with somebody not in a clan posting here? What if somebody wants to merc, but not join any real clan? (Don't tell me that's illogical, I know it is.)

Anyder is correct, mercenaries must use their name that was put on their clan list, and if they are not on a clan list, then they must use their normal names.
The problem with making people use their "normal" names, is that they may have many names that they use. How do you classify one name as "normal"? You may know a player by one name and consider it "normal", but someone else may know them by a different name.
I will follow this rule, but I don't quite see the relevancy. If a mercenary is trying to stir up trouble, they can be booted/banned like any other player, and their IP can be checked. If a mercenary is following all of the rules, then the only real "problem" with them using an alternate name is that their opposing team won't know who they are....which may be what they prefer.
