ITT: DJL tourney; now AN tourney. Also, general OT callout

[Neoteny]

Obviously I could just post an actual callout thread in callouts, but it sort of defeats the purpose of the tourney. So, this thread is to see if there would be enough interest to put together a round robin-/single elimination-/best of-style tourney consisting entirely of you assholes. Unfortunately, since the concept does not include allowing randoms in, I can't apply for tourney privileges to set such a thing up, but I'm sure we can work around that.

Alternatively, we could do something silly with teams related to off-topic discussion, like a game to decide if there is a god, or Tea Party Death Squad vs. Obama is killing grandma. Again, I'm just throwing this stuff out there to see if it's worth me pursuing. If I get enough people showing interest, perhaps I'll send some pms, start a callout thread, and make it an invitational or something.

For simplicity's sake, we'll say classic map with standardish settings. That's flexible though.

Opinions?

i'd be interested in anything pretty much, but i am a horrible slacker of a TO. haven't played a game in months though, and might miss the occasional turn

I sort of envision something pretty laid back. The idea behind this is that OTers may not take CC quite so seriously, and we all have enough personality to create some interesting game chat. It's still more about the socializing than the competition. The winner gets to go on a CC date with saxi or something. Avatar bets and whatnot. On the other hand, if I and too many others are too lax, this could just flounder into oblivion. Another reason to gauge interest.

Besides, if you miss your turn, someone will benefit from it, and anyone that doesn't can just suck it up or go hang out in GD or something. As long as you join any games you are supposed to do in a reasonable amount of time, then I'm all, "whatever."

I'd be in.

(Why haven't you made a poll with kittens or Hecter as an option?)

I get to mess with people in the forum and in their games? I'm down.

Because all you bastards will vote yes, and then i'd get all excited and put something together and nobody would show. Doing it this way, I know to whom I need to send harassing, bigotry-laced pms if it fizzles.

Also, old man, people have even less of a clue what a hecter is than they used to.

[thegreekdog]

I'm obviously in.

I wonder how the ranks match up between two sides of different issues. Like isn't Phatscotty a colonel? Isn't Player a seargeant?

I earned and lost my first major rank today, which is completely shocking to me. I normally ignore such things in others, but that could be a fun twist.

[Lootifer]

lol we could have some funny doubles, like PS/NS vs BBS/TGD vs Loot/Natty vs AoG/Ardhaus

It'd be like Conserv vs Libertarian vs Commies vs Viral internet whackjobs

[Neoteny]

Speaking of, if you know of any banned fools that can and do still play, and want to proxy their intent to me, I'm open to such endeavors as well.

And they need reminding!

I just considered foe lists, which may be a dealbreaker for some. I feel that you should have to temporarily unfoe someone to keep with the spirit of the competition. Indeed, I will actively encourage bickering for the amusement of others.

I hate you.

I'll probably let this simmer overnight, to allow 9-5 workers and non-USers to post some feedback. I'm pretty satisfied with the results so far, considering the time of day. If you want to post one or two users you think I should invite, please feel free. Better yet, harass them yourself.

Homework for tonight includes telling your bffs about this awesome opportunity to make Haggis change his avatar to a picture of Jesus. A serious one though.
