WoF to the rescue!
In short, it's like this. There is a serious and imminent threat to Calypso, and most government forces are deployed elsewhere. In the absence of a functional militia the powers that be have elected to utilize the most powerful force our civillians can muster; the combined and competitive firepower of every nation on old Planet Earth. After a gap of nearly two years the World Of Firepower Tournament is to be resurrected WITH ALL HASTE as an official event with many government incentives. WoF participants will be scoring points as well as neutralizing invasions from unexpected foes. The future of Calypso lies in their heavily-armed hands.We need EVERY Nation we can get; and as many teams as possible.
It's a lot to ask, but we need AT LEAST 25 teams to start this thing. The first WoF found 37. The last one, 6 WoFs later, raised 18. By then I'd found myself less and less able to meet the demands of promoting and running the WoF (or even decide on the dates) but we still had a thousand avatars shooting the hell out of everything. After 6 years as a bootleg event the WoF is now OFFICIAL, and will benefit from PROMOTION on all media as well as providing more, and better prizes than ever before. The aim is to bring the WoF back now and starting next year, hold it regularly with greater spectacle each time.
Wanna know the killer?
KICK - OFF is OCTOBER 18th + 19th.
The Tournament will run alongside upcoming Mindark Events, taking pauses where needed, meaning some Stages will take place after the New Year. All team registration will still be done through PCF.
The WoF 2014 Sub-Forum should be up as soon as possible but interest may be registered here for now.
For now, we need to know:
NATION OF CHOICE:
FULL AVATAR NAME:
CHOICE OF CAPTAIN (if known):
A SHORT RECAP OF THE CURRENT RULES:
Teams should represent a Nation of Earth as recognized by the organisers (Flag, Language, Land as a rough guide). Those who feel more aligned to these virtual lands may still hunt for either Eudoria or Amethera.
Teams score points by globalling on various listed Mobs.
Various amounts of bonus points are attached to different scoring achievements.
All hunts are 3 hours each.
Teams are required to elect their own Captain, divide their members into Main Teams and Support Teams, and liase with the Organisers about their chosen match times, all of which is conducted through PCF.
Main Teams are up to 12 Members, of which a maximum of 6 will hunt at once. Support Teams can be of any size.
SCHEDULE:
October 18th+19th: QUALIFIER ROUND A
Each team conducts a 3-hour hunt against the QA Moblist
October 25th+26th: QUALIFIER ROUND B
Each Team conducts a 3-hour hunt against the QB Moblist
Scores from QA and QB are combined to give Qualifying Totals, top 24 teams progress.
Dates to follow;
GROUP STAGE A (Top 24 Teams from the Qualifiers): 3 Weekends of hunts as 6 Groups of 4 hunt against each other in turn.
GROUP STAGE B (Top 12 Teams from Group Stage A): 3 Weekends of hunts as 3 new Groups of 4 hunt against each other in turn.
SEMI-FINALS (Top 6 Teams from Group Stage B): 1 Saturday, 3 one-on-one matches.
3-WAY FINAL (Top 3 Finalists): 1 Saturday (Probably February 2015).
Hints for the first moblist? News of the threat was largely unspecific, but the language was unmistakably robotic
I WOULD ALSO LOVE TO HEAR FROM ALL JUDGES PAST AND PROSPECTIVE; looks like this time around we get some PED for the hours of standing around adding scores as they happen, PRIORITY GIVEN TO JUDGES OF PREVIOUS WoFs BUT ALL APPLICATIONS WELCOME. If you want to be a Judge just add that preference in your sign-up post here or in the Sub-Forum or contact me directly.
Look forward to seeing what this year's braves are capable of.
