Greeting to Team GUINEA and welcome to Stage Two of the WoF; Part Two of the Qualifiers.

Thanks for your prompt booking of next weekend's timeslot.

Depending on the number of teams to eventually take part, your score from this and the the previous Stage combine to either progress or eliminate you, or seed your places in the forthcoming groups. The higher your score, the easier you will find the Group Stages. The lowest score currently is 8 points. The highest is 485.

The mobs on the moblist will spawn in several locations on Amethera and should be here from Wednesday (locations will be made available), feel free to have a look. As before, points will still count if scored on non-event spawns (on Calypso).

Good luck!

Team Guinea will be shooting at 19:00 Saturday, meet at 18:00 at Camp Caravan (to attempt to avoid the end of HM lag at Nymph). Hope to see you all then. :yay:

Hello TEAM GUINEA and welcome to the last weekend of the WoF Qualifiers; Stage 2, Weekend 2.

I notice you have not booked a timeslot for a re-match. If you wish to do so, please post in the Judge's Thread as soon as you can before the Timeslot chosen, or ask in-game during another match. There should be ample Judges for you this weekend.

PROGRESSION:

18 Teams have now submitted a score, meaning the event is following the 18-team protocol. Qualifying Totals will be used for seeding of Groups according to the teams' positions at Top, Middle or Bottom of the Group. Actual Group Selection will be conducted with a draw.

Your current Qualifying Total is 799.
This puts you in the TOP 6 of the Progressing Teams.
Your overall position is currently 5/18.

The next Stage is STAGE 3. The new Moblist will be up SUNDAY NIGHT. Teams will be in 6 Groups of 3.

STAGE 3 SCHEDULE: The three hunt weekends of Stage 3 wil be as follows:

NOVEMBER 22nd, Saturday + NOVEMBER 23rd, Sunday (Team 1 vs 2)

*1-weekend gap*

DECEMBER 6th, Saturday + DECEMBER 7th, Sunday (Team 1 vs 3)

DECEMBER 13th, Saturday + DECEMBER 14th, Sunday (Team 2 vs 3)


This MONDAY I will post in each of your team threads with details of the DRAW, your first opponents and your upcoming fixtures in the Stage. PLEASE RESPOND TO TIMESLOT REQUESTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. You should try to be available for a number of timeslots to accomodate different timezones.


PRIZES:

Mindark have confirmed the following Prizes for the Finalists:

Main Team Finalists will receive both a BLP and Laser (L) weapon per member, increasing in power from 3rd Place to 1st Place. Details to follow.
Winners (First Place) will also receive a first-run WoF Trophy as a personal item, and a skill pill.

Support Teams of winning Nations will also be rewarded; the top 12 Support Team Members as supplied and agreed by the National Teams in 3rd, 2nd and 1st place will also receive two weapons each and a skill pill.
The 12 top Supporters of the Winning Team will each receive a WoF Support Trophy as a personal item.

Calypso Cross: This award will be presented at the close of the tournament. The prize is as yet unconfirmed. This rewards ONE team (Main + Support) for ONE match. After the Final, every match that took place from Stage 3 through to the Final will be analysed with regards to the score, and the number of avatars involved in getting it. The team that in ONE match scored the highest amount of points PER PERSON (Main AND Support) wins the Calypso Cross.
Example: If a team of 5 scored 250, this equals 50 points per person. If a team of 25 scored 250, this equals 10 points per person. The smaller team that does best at "punching above their weight" is the most likely to win this, although a highly-efficient larger team might succeed.

That's all for now, see you soon:)

Oh good, work out a time with another team or go to work and earn money to be able to play (and pay bills). :scratch2: Thanks for the fun choice Hurrikane.

Hello Team GUINEA and welcome to STAGE 3 of the WoF.

This is the first of two group Stages. A draw was conducted a short while after the last match of Stage 2, with my 2-year old daughter Inara doing the honours and pulling 18 different colour jellybeans out of a bowl. She ate most of them but we recorded the order (each group, top, middle and bottom, was given 6 colours and drawn separately). Here are the Groups: You are in Group F.

Group A:

1. DACH / 2. FINLAND / 3. CZECH

Group B:

1. SWEDEN / 2. AMETHERA / 3. POLAND

Group C:

1. USA / 2. ITALY / 3. BENELUX

Group D:

1. GREAT BRITAIN / 2. EUDORIA / 3. WALES

Group E:

1. FRANCE / 2. ROMANIA / 3. CANADA

Group F:

1. GUINEA / 2. AUSTRALIA / 3. AFRICA



All teams will now hunt against the others in their Group. Each team has TWO matches in Stage 3.

MATCH SCHEDULE: Each Group will conduct the following matches;

Team 1 vs Team 2

Team 1 vs Team 3

Team 2 vs Team 3


HUNT WEEKENDS:

November 22nd/23rd

December 6th/7th

December 13th/14th


You have two matches to organise
. Please contact your opponents and agree a timeslot from the six already in use (SAT 14:00, 19:00, SUN 00:00, 07:00, 12:00, 17:00) as soon as possible. Your matches can take place in any order and on any of the 6 days listed above. Any matches not played by the last slot of the Stage (17:00 Sunday December 14th) will be declared a no-score. Any team who agrees a time then does not attend will be scored 0. All matches will start on time unless there are major technical issues. Teams may start a hunt late but will finish hunting when their opponents do. Any team finding it hard to agree a time MUST suggest 4 out of the 6 timeslots they CAN hunt (and therefore agree with at least one of their opponent's 4) or forfeit the match. If Team A offers four options and none are agreed by Team B then the match takes place on the preferred timeslot of Team A. If neither team offers 4 choices of timeslot and no choices coincide then both teams score 0 for that match.

PLEASE AGREE AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE, PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE OF THE DIFFERENT TIME-ZONES OF YOUR OPPONENTS, PM ME ALL AGREED TIMESLOTS ASAP STATING ALL TEAMS INVOLVED PLEASE.

Team GUINEA, your upcoming matches are:

GUINEA vs AUSTRALIA

GUINEA vs AFRICA​

Short Straw Bonus of 10 points now applies to Main and Support respectively. Details below.
Loot Bonus of 15 points now applies.
Win Bonus of 100 points per match now applies.

After all matches are played
, Team scores will be totalled and the top two teams in each group will progress to Stage 4. Stage 4 will consist of 3 groups of 4. The top 3 scoring Teams from Stage 3 will be seeded to head each group in Stage 4. The Groups will then be decided with a second draw with Inara and the jellybeans.

STAGE 3 MOBLIST:

MAIN TEAM:

HISPIDUS: Provider and Above: 10 points
CAPERON: Provider and Above: 9 points
ITUMATROX: ANY: 8 points
CAPERON: Young, Mature and Old: 7 points
HISPIDUS: Young, Mature and Old: 6 points
KINGFISHER: ANY: 5 points / Carries SHORT STRAW BONUS highest amount in a global during the match on a 5 point mob earns that team 10 points at the close of the match.

SUPPORT:

ATRAX: ANY: 4 points / Some ATRAX QUEENS may appear in certain spawns, these also score 4 also so it might be best to avoid them until after the match.
TANTARDION: ANY: 3 points / More due to arrive, co-ords to be announced.
ARGONAUT: ANY: 2 points
SABAKUMA: ANY: 1 point / Carries SHORT STRAW BONUS highest amount in a global during the match on a 1 point mob earns that team 10 points at the close of the match. / Rumour has it some extra-large Sabakumas will be arriving to bolster their wriggly ranks.

BONUS MOB: WILD CARD. / The first team in a match to global on an unlisted mob will make that mob the Bonus Mob for that match and score 25 points. Their opponents must then hunt whatever it was to get their 25 points. All Wild cards are ANY maturity i.e. opponents only need global on the same species, not maturity that the first team scored with.
Exceptions: No Turp, gibnib, fugabarba, no mob unavailable to your opponents for hunting, no mob not found on Calypso in a current spawn. No mob that requires a toxic shot to hunt due to location (unless also found elsewhere on Calypso). Robots allowed. Vanguards not allowed. Event mobs not allowed. FOMA and CP mobs not allowed. Shared Loot mobs not allowed.

START/FINISH POINT
67700, 71830, 271
A nice valley with a lovely view​


CALYPSO CROSS:
From this Stage to the Final, each match offers the chance for one team to win the Calypso Cross. This is an award for the Team that scores the most per person during a single match.
Example:
Team A score 250 using 5 people in total = 50 points per person.
Team B score 500 using 25 people in total = 20 points per person.
After the Final, when every score of every match is analysed, whatever team scored the most points per person will win the award. This is intended to reward those determined smaller teams who punch above their weight and achieve a good score despite a lack of numbers, but could as easily reward a larger team who hunt efficiently despite the chaos of the WoF:)

The award itself has been confirmed, the details of the prize have not. Will keep you posted.
