Sheepstick

Greetings to all! Sheepstick and Malconi will be hosting a 1v1 Tournament for BOTH Horde and Alliance! Date: Moved to weekend of Jan 28th will be updated with better info soon. There will be 24 upto 48 player slots depending on player interest. I will be using Challonge as a public tournament tracker for our brackets, as well as a fight order. We will be streaming the tournament so all can watch as players fight to become the best 1v1'er on our server. There will also be a video of the tourney uploaded to youtube for anyone who doesn't catch the event live. On the streams will be high end video, commentators, cookies and hookers.The event will likely last 3 hours. Spectators will not be allowed and must watch from the stream. From my past experience in previous duel tournaments on this server and others, griefing has been a problem. But we have taken hard steps to prevent this and believe we will have a smooth tournament. Streamer 1: Malconi Streamer 2: Commentator 1: Commentator 2: _______________________________________________________________________________ Buy-in and Prize Pool: There will be an buy in of 30 gold, 100% of which will go into the prize pool. The prize breakdown will be: 1st: 50% + 200 Gold 2nd: 25% 3rd + 4th: 12.5% each _______________________________________________________________________________ How to register: You will need to send an ingame mail to either Sheepstick (Horde) or Sheepwand (Alliance) In the mail you need to include 30 gold, your player name. _______________________________________________________________________________ I will be hiring a few positions in order to make the viewing experience better. They can be horde or alliance and any level. A streamer: Must have a good enough computer to stream on twitch/hitbox at 720p. Minimalistic UI. Click on the participants, and just be a camera for the tournament. You'll need to be able to include the commentators as well. Pay: 200 gold. Commentators: Must have high end pvp knowledge and understand what is going on / why good players do certain things. You just need to commentate on fights you're interested in and the final rounds. Pay: 300 gold each. I will be looking to have 2 commentators, just provide opinions and explain wtf is happening in fights. Must have a microphone as well obviously. Guest commentators for a fight or two are welcome as well. Contact Sheepstick or Sheepwand in game for this. _______________________________________________________________________________ Rules and Regulations: Allowed / Unallowed items. Players will be able to use both engineering and potions. There are some additonal rules for these. But most of Engineering/short-term potions will be allowed _______________________________________________________________________________ Fight Rules: There will be 2 judges: Sheepstick and my co host Malconi. We will have the final call on everything. Including power to DQ, give a warnings, or change small rules mid tournament. We will strive to be fair and unbiased. Our decisions will be made to create fair environment, as well as speed up the tournament if needed. If there are rule violations (not time based) but items or cooldowns. Take a screenshot of it (while not facing the ground) and upload it and send the link to a judge. I reccomend finishing the duel first. If there are any questions / suggestions please feel free to post them below or contact me ingame on Sheepstick (Horde), Sheepwand (Alliance), Malconi (Alliance). I'm on like 10 hours a day and easily reachable.

We will be moving the tournament to next weekend. Next mid-saturday probably. We are doing this because of a lack of sign-ups. I was honestly suprised that we did not have enough players. With all the cartel/mafia guys, premaders and the thousand or more of R8+ pvpers? We hope another week of planning and advertising will allow more players to learn of this tournament and prove their mettle with organized PvP. As well as a high initial gold prize pool. And with Anathema's population not being so high anymore, a more peak time tournament on the weekend should not have too much lag, as well as be a better time for more players. My man Malconi will be taking over of the tournament, as I will be stepping away.

Yup! Anything engineering not specifically disallowed will be allowed. Including for example a mortar or a deathray or reflectors.

That is a fine idea. I will be adding +200 gold to the 1st place winnner while keeping current prizes. With only 3 days left to go we are still looking for many more participants. Slicy, you should join up mate! It is just sapping at the start of the duel, anytime after is fine. This is to prevent shield draining/just adding time to the duel when a rogue will already be opening. If a rogue was going to open 12 seconds after the sap.... just open the first time? Most likely a duel restart, something like that will fall under judge's discretion. We will also change time between duels to 5 minutes, to balance out the difference in cd length between classes. I will also be lowering max players to help account in keeping tournament length not too long. Only 3 days left boys, good time to signup!

I've talked with a few guys in-game for further opinions and will be changing some rules. Eating + Drinking will now be allowed. Again nothing that gives you buffs. Engineering rocket boots will now be allowed (Goblin and Gnomish). I will be looking into ways to make time between duels longer to allow for more useage of 10 min CDs. Thank you to the above, any suggestions are helpful

reserved Q & A Why allow potions and engineering? Vanilla is inherently unbalanced. Potions and engineering adds an extra degree of options, allowing for some classes to fare much better than without. Making the general rock papers scissors not so clean cut anymore, and moves the odds closer to 50:50 overall. This also lets players use more of their pvp skill, which is what were all here for. Are you a scam artist? I'm quite certain an organized scam like this would be a permaban. I'm not looking to lose my BWL geared mage for 1.5k gold. I farmed up a bit of gold from old nost, and I am looking to spend my gold to make a cool in-game event. Why is discord required? I need a way to communicate to all players, both Horde and Alliance. Having a server with all the players would be extremely helpful in making sure the tournament starts off and continues smoothly, while allowing for adaption incase it is needed. It lets all players talk in a general chat, while having the option to listen in on the commentary happening if they are interested. TBH I had never heard of discord on old nost, but nowadays 90% of guilds I know of use discord so most players already have it. If one doesn't want to install it, they can always use the web app. What's with the rogue/warrior rules? These rules aim to minimize the effect of personal lag, server lag, complete RNG, and most importantly stopping fights from being stealth fests. A stealther will get an opener if he wants to. It might take 15 seconds or 9 minutes of running around in a circle. I'll just help speed the tournament up by giving them the opener 10 seconds in. For warriors, not having the initial charge will be a huge detriment. It is just an effort to make it slightly more fair. For the Rog v Rog or Warr v Warr, this is to remove the complete RNG along with the huge advantage for a Euro with 20 ping vs an American with 175 ping. This rule was also used in Kronos I 's 1v1 tourney and my friends that particiapted said it worked out pretty well.

Looking to sell a Dragon Finger of Healing (+33 healing spells). >Pm Sheepstick ingame on Horde or Sheepwand on Alliance. Forums pm also works! This is for the Nostalrius PVP realm. SOLD!
