Rule Changes
Please note the following changes from the rules posted in the Conqueror's Cup thread:
1. If a player goes above the 20-game limit, all games above the limit will be remade, same map/settings, with the above-the-limit player replaced. There will be no forfeitures or penalties.
2. The 12-hour fog rule will be in effect. The second team to join a fog game, if they have the first turn, must hold their attack for 12 hours or until a member of the opposing team alerts them that they got their snapshot. In the event that the 12-hour rule is breached, it is the responsibility of the offending team to provide their opponents with placement information that would have been readily apparent on the original map setup. Note that this does not necessarily include attack information.

I'm stunned. Why agree to these rules now KoRT? I'm not trying to flame or bait, but (1) did you decide the 21-game forfeiture rule was now a tad harsh and (2) can all your players magically wait 12 hours after months of being unable to do so against Empire, TOFU, etc.? Say what you will about (1), but (2) was an area of much consternation especially in light of multiple batches where members of TOFU left time for KoRT members to see the map in fog matches, while a few games where KoRT got the first start they gave no such courtesy. Hell, wasn't there a huge hoopla with Empire over the exact same thing?

Ah, what the [frank]. Here's a little flame - maybe with Josko on winter hiatus from middle school he's able to log in and take everyone's turns after waiting 12 hours. Mum not so strictly enforcing beddy bye?

Thota 33 - KoRT 27

Thota 33 - KoRT 27

I missed this part of it. you should not be allowed to change rules for the final, especially when a clan got ejected through one of them.

[Seulessliathan]

good luck ponies and cows!

[L M S]

Thota by 6 games

[khazalid]

a little optimistic, methinks

[Chariot of Fire]

Have to say, I raised an eyebrow too when I saw the rule change. How did that come about?

Currently 29-22 TOFU-KORT (under the new rules that is)

Anyway, don't wish to detract from expressing every best wish to THOTA. gl guys.

Predict 60-0 THOTA (josko gets kicked out for account abuse)

[OutSider]

Thota 58-2

I can't believe I am saying this but....eddie2 has a point

Nice to see that now that one clan has made a bunch of mistakes in the last round, they can turn around and follow completely different rules. Even though if these rules were the ones followed in the last round, a different team would most likely be competing against the apocalyptic horses.

Sounds good to me.

[TheBro]

Good luckto both teams. THOTA should win this heavily; they are playing against the third, maybe possibly fourth best clan so a contest it shant be.

[Chuuuuck]

I would like to say a big THANK YOU to ALL clans who participated in the 1st Annual Conqueror's Cup. I think, for the most part, is has been a huge success and very popular. Everyone should expect to see sign ups for the 2nd Annual Conqueror's Cup while the finals here are running.

With that being said, I say a huge congratulations to both THOTA and KoRT for getting where they are and I wish them both the best of luck in this matchup.


For those of you bickering about their rule changes. This has been discussed before, I have allowed these discussions in every match of the clan wars. I was copied on all discussions and this was agreed to by both sides so as far as the tournament is concerned they are all perfectly acceptable.

Was the 21 game disscussed before you put it in place and agreed with all clans. but enough of that gl thota you are the only real team in the final.

[nagerous]

Good Luck THOTA ill be rooting for you

Echoed.

We have no issue with you giving them the option to change rules Chuck. The issue is with the Cows and their sudden about-face on what they are able to do as a clan and what they think is fair.

[eddie2]

65 thota v -5 kort lol

No Jake the rules should not of been changed. The games are meant to get harder as you get to the finals not easier.

[khazalid]

take it elsewhere, ed.

[eddie2]

take it elsewhere, ed.

Ok i will on one condition.

I like the clan league and feel that thota should do a challenge with the same rules vrs tofu. So the clan world can see what the real cup final should look like, and what the real result would be. Because i think this challenge is a joke, and am sure the whole clan world wants to see the proper final played......

thank you,

eddie2
signing out.

ps. nice wall messages from a kort member asking you to post this.

[khazalid]

we may well do, but that decision is hardly going to be influenced by some loudmouth from neither clan who has been rambling on about the same thing for weeks now, coming in here and posting more times than anyone else who is actually involved in the challenge. is it?

re: wall - i don't see where foxglove has asked me to post anything of the sort. nor would i be likely to do so if she had.

[khazalid]

Before we get started here, I'd like to make a request of the clan community:

Everyone who's reading this knows what went down between Kort and Tofu during their semifinal bout. Everything that could possible be said on the matter has been said, Tofu has publicly buried the hatchet, and it really has no impact on the finals anyway. I see no reason to beat that dead horse here.

So I'd very much prefer it if we could all keep the outright flaming, along with unnecessary reminiscence about the the semis, out of this thread. Let's please keep all banter light and all commentary above-the-belt.

Thanks, and gl to both clans. This has been almost a year in the making, so let's have a good, clean, drama-free tilt.

[danryan]

Hey, good luck to both clans, this should be a great fight. Since THOTA have never lost a straight up clan war I can't pick against them here. I'd guess 35-25 for a final score.

[sonicsteve]

I only dropped into the thread to wish both sides good luck, though I'll be cheering for a THOTA win, too.

[Leehar]

I'm surprised, since when have Thota suddenly become the good guys in the clan scene? No offense to Thota, but I'm too used to them being hated and reviled. I'm just gonna go with Kort 31-29 because the underdogs deserve at least that much
