Neuroshima Hex Tournament of DOOM!

TheDukesterTheDukester Posts: 1,146Member
August 2012 in Games Discussion
Doom, I say!

Okay, let's throw down on some NH. I'll keep things simple for our first outing here; I've got some ideas for a more elaborate set-up in the future, but that can wait.

Challonge sign-ups: http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/4g38ws62gd ... or search for "Neuroshima Hex Tournament of Doom."

(If for some reason you don't want to mess with Challonge, just add your desired user name here; I'll go ahead and add you manually).

Format: Double-elimination. I'd like to get six players; eight would be ideal; more than eight would be fine, too.

Ties: It is possible to tie in NH. Any tied games will need to be replayed (for you English-types, just think of it as the old, crazy FA Cup format).

Special rule: You cannot play the same faction two games in a row. No stocking up on Borgo every time. We'll have to be on the honor system here; maybe it would be nice if everyone posted what they were playing once a match began?

This is a community event: If you've never posted here, please do so to introduce yourself. Just one post is good enough. But if you can't be bothered to introduce yourself, I'm going to delete your entry.

Other than that, I can't think of much more to add. We've all played NH; we've all used the app; we know how it works. Let's just open it up and see who signs up.

Edit: changed to correct URL.

Edit 2: added posting requirement.
Jeff

    YES! You are awesome, Duke! Your awesomeness in unparalleled in this universe. Thanks for making this event happen.

    Warning to would-be opponents: I am supremely terrible at this game. My terrible-ness is unparalleled in this universe. Enjoy an easy win from me.

    Duke, can you manually add me to the Challonge thingy as "Qryten"?

    Oh, and I'm in, too — just for the record. GameCenter ID = ItsTheDukester; N. Hex ID = TheDukester.

    Excellent! But when I go to the linked URL, I get "The requested tournament's bracket has not yet been published. Please check back later." Nothing comes up when I search, either. Maybe you need to create a public URL in the settings?

    Indeed - I don't see it either. And I was about to press "publish" on a front page post about it. :)

    EDIT: I'm off to bed, so I hit "publish" on that post anyway. I have faith that The Duke will have this sorted before long - noobs, go ahead and post in this thread until Challonge is ready to go.

    No, it's not "publish " ... that's the final step.

    Let me go under the hood here ...

    Bleh, stupid Challonge.

    Okay, got it: checked the box for "add sign-up page" and got a URL:

    http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/4g38ws62gd

    That should do it. I'm going to test it now with my fake account. It's called ... you'll love this ... FakeAccount.

    Edit: Yep, that was the ticket. "FakeAccount" is ready to play! Sadly, he will soon be deleted.

    When will the tourney start? I want to sign up, but internet coverage will be spotty over labor day holiday, and I don't want to frustrate my opponent (who will already be frustrated by my inept gameplay). :)

    Nah, don't let that stop you. Hell, I'll be pretty busy myself over Labor Day weekend, as I suspect many of our American players will be.

    As far as starting, that's up in the air right now. Depends on the level of interest and how many people actually join up. Sign-ups will run for another couple of days, for sure.

    I am signed in. Is NH async multiplayer with a timer similar to the playdeck games?

    It is definitely asynch. No timer, though.

    For the tournament, I will serve as the timer. Anyone who disappears for too long will just be removed.

    Who is "Meridian 99"? Anyone seen someone with that handle ever post here?

    I just removed the event from the searchable index; I'm not interested in trying to chase down strangers.

    Thanks Duke, I'm already in. It seems it will be epic, there are already 14 registered. Since there are too many, maybe you should reconsider the format of the tournament.

    PS: I hope I will not ruin the tournament. There is no experience at all, I have recently purchased NH, I have only played a few games against AI :(

    In the Twitter feed for Big Daddy Games, they posted a link to our tourney. We might be getting outsiders from that link.

    I'd like to get in on this. GC is doublebullout. Are there any limits to factions? Just the basic ones, or are the expansion factions allowed?

    I've never messed with the NH multiplayer.. only against ai. Seeing the GC ids mentioned, is it safe to assume the tourney is iOS only?

    Edited: much of what was said here was resolved in the discussion on the next page.
