You'd be willing to do it Gfich? I dunno, I'm concerned about the complexity of doing this. We would have to keep track of unit hp... That alone will make screen shots of the game non-intuitive. And for each turn you would have to take our moves step by step, to see what is revealed by our vision.

For example, suppose Team America puts a move together, the 1st and 2nd moves being to spawn a runner and move the runner. Suppose moving the runner reveals an enemy unit. We would have to wait to hear from you whether there is an enemy in the fog of war after spawning the runner, then proceed, and then wait to hear from you whether there is a unit in the fog of war after moving the runner, then proceed, etc... This would just slow things down and make the game pretty complicated to run....

On the other hand, we would be able to take more than 4 days for each turn. So that's good. Though, I was kind of looking forward to the 4 day limit, will keep the game moving at a brisk pace and participation up.

Anyway, as you can see the forums are ready, so I'm ready to do signups. But, we should decide if we want to do an OMC map or an in-game map, first. Thoughts?

In-game for sure. Why do the more complicated way when in-game is so much easier?

I'd say an in-game map. Perhaps Skullduggery or Peekaboo. An OMC map would be too complicated to manage.

But then there's the matchup factor too. I don't want to see SvA. I think SvF or AvF would be the most interesting to play.

I was going to let each team pick their team. Seems likely we'll get AvA, but I agree it would be more interesting to get a cool matchup like AvF. Just, hopefully no brambles!

[Alvendor]

Yeah OMC map would definately make things more complicated. Maybe something to try later on if this one turns out well

FvF creates a lot of fun mind games!

Hey!

Bright Idea! We could use someone's alt account or create a new account. So, if someone starts and realizes it's too much work. They can sign out and pass the torch to another person.

Another thought, this one is just out there, I think you might be able to sign into GC in more then one device at the same time. Maybe we could all get on and view at the same time?

Also, I'm interested in this, but I'm not reading or doing anything productive until today is over.

I see the forums are made. when do we get the password?

Ideally this matchup would be 4 games: each team gets to pick the map 2x and each team has to play with each race once.

And it makes Sweetie Plains a more interesting map, doesn't it?

Please stand by, I am writing the signups thread now.

Would also like to hear everyone's thoughts on determining FTA. We could assign it randomly with relative ease. Another option is to run 2 games simultaneously on the same map, like in the Winter World Cup. However, I am reluctant to run more than 1 game at a time since this is our first time doing this.

Have 4 sequence matches on 2 maps. Each with being P1 on each map.
