1 vs 1 Tournament

1 vs 1 Tournament

I decided it is time this game has an organized 1 vs 1 tournament by players of Illyriad. Perhaps if players really need help controlling this tournament, the GM's can create a feature default button which could simplify the event for the players involved.

Now my ideas are pretty raw, so I would like a lot of input from players about this 1 vs 1 idea in regards of how it would work the best.

Here are my ideas:

-This tournament would be organized based on population.

-A player would need to have siege technology to enter tournament.

-The tournament will have different tournaments for different player populations. This would ensure most players can experience this event.

-5000 pop and under would be one tourney. 5001 - 10000 pop would be another tourney. 10001 - 30000 would be another tourney. And 30001 and above would be the last of the tourney (heavy weight fight if you will).

-To enter the tournament a player would need to have 100,000 gold for 5000 pop and under. 200,000 gold for 5001-10000 pop. 300,000 gold for 10001-30000 pop. And 500,000 gold for 30001 pop and above.

-1st place gets 75% of the pot. 2nd place gets 20% of the pot. 3rd place gets 5% of the pot.

-A player has to destroy the other players city (only one city can be destroyed) first to advance in the tournament. A player can attack any city of the other player's account. A player in this tournament can only use one account for the event. A player can not get help from friends, allies, and their own alliance. Basically it is 1 vs 1, so it will be on you.

-All of the gold has to be sent to the player or GM in charge of the event. He or she will give out the gold to the winners after the event is over. If the player does not give back the gold. The community will destroy all of the cities on the persons account.

-If a player is caught cheating, he or she will be banned from future events. He or she will penalized by losing one city.   If a player wins and is caught cheating, he or she will lose more than one city depending on what the community thinks.

-The tournament will start every 2 months, giving players time to replenish and be ready for next tournament, thus allowing the tournament in progress to finish.

-A player has to lose a city to lose in the tournament, there is no white flag.

-If you are paired against a fellow alliance, confederation, and nap player, one of you has to leave your alliance to make the battle work. Yes, once the battle is done, have your alliance invite you back.

-If a player is in the tournament and gets attacked by a player or players other than the player he or she is supposed to fight, the community will take a city away from each of the players involved in the incident.

-Once a player defeats his or her opponent by a siege and raze of his or her city; the other player that may have a siege going on in progress with the other player that won, has to call back his siege camp as soon as possible with a messenger. A messenger or messengers should already be made before your battle with your opponent started to call back all of your armies. A player that lost the battle (lost a city) has 12 hours after defeat to call back his army with a messenger. Once a player city falls and his or her siege camp or army is still at your opponents city; he or she will lose another city by the community for failing to follow the tourney rules.

-Every player will be named for the tournament by random. I need some ideas on how to make this fair.

-The winner of the tournament will be named and should get a thread stating how awesome they are. These players should also get the title of KING or something. Maybe the GMs can implement something like this for the winner.

-Once these rules are approved by the community, there will be no questions involved in what to do if a horrible thing happens in the event. You entered the tournament knowing the rules, you cheated, now you will get punished so to speak for not following the rules.

I want the community to come up with more ideas of how this event would work best. Lets brainstorm and make this idea work! Post here for any suggestions or support you have in this thread.

Keep in mind, that this tourney is to prove who the best 1 vs 1 player is.

Thanks

Conquering should be allowed over destroying, hI think.

Also, hI vould totally be up for dis if not for da fact dat my cities are scattered around da vorld. Also, how vill hyu treat trade and da like for dis purposes? ha lot of people already hef large harmies from tradink, or hef received regular material support from dere alliance...

Also, get harmless? to run dis if hyu can, or at least sponsor it. Dats a goot reason for heffink such overwhelming force! Hyu can actually handle the rule breaking consequences of dis vitout triggerink a hyuge var. And people generally trust dem.

Unless hyu is member of dem already. hI'm not goink to check, doh. :P

The point of the tourney is the slaughter of hundreds, if not thousands, of civilians You monsters actually support this? I... I'm disgusted.

War is a battle for profit, honor and/or glory.

Why restrict profit to only the 1st place winner?

Allow the conquest of cities.  Players then can still come out ahead or at least break even-ish... for better or worse.

A tournament where you can win about 500k gold and lose a city worth maybe a thousand times more and then not even speaking about the military units you can lose... hmm.. This tournament needs alot more balancing I guess..
