hmmmm what are the rules?

OH! Also, MM, I was thinking our team name should be "The Skam". (Skawilly + Matthias)

Skawilly, here is a repost of the original post describing the rules. We will also be using the Multi-player section of the Tournament rules http://sfr-inc.com/TournamentRules.pdf (thanks again, Chuck!):

Years ago, the Dragon Dice™ listserve had the International Dragon Dice™ League and an associated tournament. Everyone grouped up into teams of 3 members and fought to the death to be crowned the winningest group of them all.

It is time to revive this old tournament with the first Periodic Games. All games should be played out either on the SFR forum or by e-mail. If you wish to play in another format, say in person, please let me know before the game.

Rules
Current Rulebook (v2.6)
Standard Construction Rules
24-points Armies
10 points of Reserve Dice used to exchange between games.
Teams of 2 players to speed up games
First team to have a single player capture two terrain or eliminate all players of the opposing team wins.

Additionally, there are a few time rules.

If any player does not respond within 1 day without notice, the player will have their entire army consumed by a Giant Space Hamster. Any terrain controlled by that player are moved down to the 7th face.

All teams must have started their game within 2 days of each round. They will also agree upon what method the game will use.

Initially, there will be one bracket of randomly assigned teams. However, once the first round of games are played, all of the teams that lost in the first round will go into the Second Chance bracket to duke it out for the title of Comeback Kid. The winning team of the main bracket will be declared winner of the Periodic Games and will square off against the winners of the Second Chance bracket to be declared the Grand Champion of the Periodic Games.

Registration is simple, you and your teammate will respond to the post and optionally name your team. All interested teams must be declared by June 1. The tournament will start June 2 and last until a winner is declared.

Will there be glory? Of course! Will there be triumph? Definitely. Will there be riches? Not from me. I may give you all a high five if we ever met up in person. Why play at all? You will have an opportunity to play in an organized event with fellow Dragon Dice™ players from around the world.[/img][/url]

Unless more teams arrive, we should probably just do round robin as suggested by Dolus and the top two winningest teams get the coveted prizes: titles.

I've got some really sad news: I'm afraid I'm going to have to cancel for these games. My study has me swamped with work and Damoclesian fine is hovering above my head if I fail to get it done in time. My current game is already taking up too much time (and 'thought-space') as it is, so I'm going to have to restrain myself from entering a second game. I'm really sorry to let you all know on such short notice.

That's understandable. Education is always important!

As a reminder to everyone else, the final day is tomorrow to declare teams for the start of the tournament on June 2.

Right now, here are the teams:

Team #1
sweetberlinetta

Team #2
Mattheus Maccabeus
Skawilly

Team #3
Dolus
caranmegil

Is anyone out there interested in joining up with sweetberlinetta?

Hopefully somebody signs up. Maybe Emeroth will join in? I've recently been teaching a friend or two online, though I don't think they're quite ready to build armies and they're also probably too busy to play.

Rules question (go me for waiting for the last minute). Can we get clarification on how the games will play out? Since we have 3 teams, I'm assuming round robin. Is each team going to play each other once? If so, how will sideboards come into play? When are we allowed to sideboard?

Would anyone be opposed to extending the start to Monday? Maybe give some time for someone to join Team #1. If not, sweetberlinetta, would you have a problem with playing two different armies?

Sadly, because of the team count, the sideboard would probably allow die exchanges between a tie breaker game.

Monday is fine with me. Just a side not, I'm heading out for a week long speaking engagement tomorrow. I should still be able to post at least once a day, but that may be it.

Due to lack of interest, the Periodic Games will not be held.
