[CC2] 2nd Annual Conqueror's Cup!!

[maasman]

I completely understand the consistency issues, but new clans also are definitely not in the same position as wild geese. To me that trumps the consistency of the old rule and sets up consistency for a new one.

KORT, TOFU, Wild Geese(to a lesser extent) We all had past clan members, and such. We all had to wait. They can also.

i agree... they have absolutely no history of performance and that matters. as it stands, we could have 20 clans form in the morning and try to get in, just because they can. the wild geese can wait like the rest of us did, they aren't special, they are just a new clan with no track record...-the black jesus

[maasman]

Huh, alright. I just figured since I think around 100% of them were in clans very recently that an exception could be made, but oh well.

[FarangDemon]

I agree with the dark prophet. CC needs consistency and I have just the metamucil:

I suggest a Steel Cage Match to consist of 30 games, all 2 vs 2 vs 2.

Wild Geese vs
lolkittens' "I need people for mah new clan *become high ranks*" vs
The Evil Paratroopers of London

3 clans enter, 1 clan leaves...
3 clans enter, 1 clan leaves...
3 clans..

How much more time do we have to decide if we are in?

[Chariot of Fire]

It's not like it's a CC rule. It's a tourney and so it's the organiser's rule.

I don't recall any exclusions being made in C.Cup I, so why implement them now?

A clan is a clan. If they're not worth their salt then they won't get beyond the qualifiers.

Ljex is correct George, you all have until Friday. I would love to see TSM join us.

[IcePack]

The problem with exceptions to the rule is if all came from clans let them in, so if 4 clans had ppl leave to combined a new of 25% membership of each clan (is: clan 1 clan 2 clan 3 clan 4 all contribute 25% of new clan A) would they get in?

What if half of clan A has members all from same clan and 50% new members? You just open the door for all kinds of "what if" scenarios. If u wanted to be treated like L4D and have the history count for L4D, then those "few new members" should be added to L4D not disband and make a new one.

No?

We're on the fence. I think the problem, for many clans, is that ccup is just so long. Other clans have skipped cla and ccup2 because they are still playing in ccup1. It cannot eat up the entire year, its a really big commitment. We still have not come to a conclusion, but I'll say that the biggest stumbling block is just how long the cup is.

We're still playing cla. Just a thought, for ccup administrators (empire) to consider. You could cut a few wars shorter. Round 1 20 games, round 2 40 games? Get this thing done in 8 months or so, before cla. Just my thoughts, hopefully someone from tsm will give an definite answer before friday.

P.s. Would like to play low again soon too : )

timeframe which Chuuuck suggested I think is good, and better fits than the last one of CCup1, which was really too long, but i think this time we will be on time with schedule. some overlapping is hard to avoid, but probably here will not be 32 clans signed up, so top clans will then get round of 32 bye, so i dont think it will be a lot of overlapping.

[Georgerx7di]

If there was some kind of quasi-guarantee that it would be over by september or october, I think monki's would be in. What is the projected time frame anyway, I'm too drunk to look it up right now?

This seems almost doable, like a 160 pound girl when you've had 4 beers : P

That takes at least 6 in an hour and a half. Light weight...

I understand the feeling that it is too long, but once I looked at the schedule, it doesn't seem so bad. It is 4 challenges for the 2 teams that make it to the finals. The majority of clans that enter will only play in 2 challenges. It doesn't really seem like that huge of a commitment.

[Chariot of Fire]

Only 4 beers? I'd be getting laid after lunch!

There's not much provision in those dates for a lengthy summer break.

[Ace Rimmer]

I'll show the love to the 160 lb girls without any beers.

You don't want R1 being 20 games because then it wouldn't count as a clan challenge, minimum is 41 games now.

[lord voldemort]

the timetable seems fair and reasonable for 4 challenges (if you run that deep)
last years ran so long as there was 2 decent size breaks and then some pretty decent delays in games being sent..
i think if people are more diligent in games being sent (game creation rights will help here) then it will run much smoother and faster

Both "delays" are with clans who had game rights at the time.

[lord voldemort]

well no 1 delay was cause they wanted a break..
the other was a whole other issue that really doesnt need to be talked about

[Chariot of Fire]

If the TO is present this time then I expect it will go a whole lot smoother. His absence in CC1 meant it was left to the clans to set deadlines and a whole lot of requests to establish dates were simply overlooked.
