I'm quite happy to spend some time organising and getting all of this sorted for you guys, as long as there is sufficient interest.

What's the current playerbase like at the moment? I don't imagine a campaign is going to work very well unless there's like 20+ consistent players.

A tournament would be for sure quicker and easier to organise, I can make a campaign last for a while longer though. I figure we could draw inspiration from Groundfire's stellar effort from a few years back.

Let me know your thoughts.

why devs aint supporting this? etc 10 rew units + 5000 gold for winning this, 5 rew units + 3000- for 2nd place and 3 rew units + 20000 - for 3rd place, and each who joins and decides play in tournament get something like 2 rew units. Top 3 teams shoulda get medals or some nasty icon next to the name in forums. Top 3 can get MAUS. I mean those little things like i said woulda be great. Than even guys who never would play vs stack will thing twice. That means more players more fun. Set it to 1 game per week for team if team does not show up, ban from tournament and no rew units.

schmidt how much money ya gonna put in this?

[Shabtajus]

what about rules? I say no rules for company builds errbody uses what they want. 1 game as axis, 1 game as allied. If draws count total points, who have more - wins.

to stop bitchig about maps in coh, all teams will be forced to play same map after switching sides

screenshot in game, screenshot of scores, post in tournament related topic. No hackers, no lies about scores, errbody happy

[Mister Schmidt]

Prize, haven't decided yet, let's just say a few hundred monies will be up for grabs.

Rules I've got a good idea of already, probably best of 3, roll a dice/flip a coin kind of thing to see who plays what first. I'll choose the map, switch sides after each battle. Maybe R+? Playoffs style, matchups drawn from a hat, two best teams eventually face off in the final.

I don't like the idea of score because it's not always a good way of measuring performance.

it will punish spammers, if spam fails it will hurt em 2 x times

I suggesteds this months ago and i think we all decided that it was just to hard to get alot of the playerbase on at the same time to do a match.

[Mister Schmidt]

I'm good at organising shit, worked with these hillbillies before in terms of organising scenarios

[Mister Schmidt]

spam is irrelevant, you bring your favourite best company and so does your opponent, score has far too many factors in it, it's never been a good performance indicator.

[Shabtajus]

schmidt anyway get real man its aint gonna happen lol

[Mister Schmidt]

Not with an attitude like that!

I'm not doing literally anything unless I have concrete numbers of involvement, I said that, this is most certainly not a promise if nobody will bother, just an idea.

Playerbase is a lot lower than the GC era.

I know you guys miss this shit though:

Id play a campaign, referrably right now, or next weekend.

[GrayWolf]

How about :

- only 1 company per campaign
- company must be newly created.
- only uncommon reward units allowed

I never took part in campaign, so maybe I'm talking obvious things, but it's sounds fair.

[shockcoil]

I can help you with a campaign if you want to organise something along the lines of the GC. That was awesome.

(we were gonna win before brn ragequit)

[CrazyWR]

if you do a tournament, it needs to be with 0 game companies so that all vet is equal.

Damn right we were, remember that traitor 3rdCondor?

I Propaganda'd the fuck out of him

[TheIcelandicManiac]

ill help a little with the funding for a reward if you can figure out the paypal crap.

[Mister Schmidt]

Very kind of you!

Prize is only for a tournament, would kinda be negligible in a campaign

Some Fuhrer he turned out to be, turned tail and ran when the going got tough.

No seriously though I think it depends on what you want to achieve. A tournament with money may bring back some old pros but there's no guarantee they will stay. A campaign could do the same with longer staying power and would attract a wider range of players but you need enough people to run one in the first place and I dunno if we have that at the moment.

I could prob bribe the devs into giving the top contributing players reward cards or gold or some crap.

[shockcoil]

I remember in the GC campaign the commanders nominated people every week to receive reward units. I think I did by special achievements and not just the top players but can't remember. It's an idea though
