SotM Event #5 - Grudge Match

General GTG Events
1

So people wanted something that doesn't involve playing a ton of games, so here we go. I am starting this now, becuae it might take a week or two to do everything.

First everyone who wants to participate should sign up here. Whether teams are made randomly or chosen is something we can decide upon. Depending on how many people we get, there will be 3 or 4 teams.

Each team will start out with the full roster of 18 heroes. There will be 4 different matches, one against each difficulty of villain. Each match will use 4 heroes, and we will start with the difficulty 1, and move right up. However, each hero can only be used once. You can decide on which heroes you are using after finding out about the villain and environment, but you can't reuse any heroes.

Depending on how many people are interested, will depend on how many games are played for each match. For example, each team might need to play 3 different games of the 4 heroes against that villain. I will give a few days between each match to give poeple enough time to play the game. The matches can be played live, with Google+, or on the forum, it doesn't matter.

Each win will give the team points equal to the difficulty of the villain. The team with the most points after all the games are played is the winner.

If we're choosing teams, G+ people for me please. I don't get to play much with "real" people but I play online a lot.

3

Same here. I will only be able to play on weekends though, so I don't mind being a sub or alternate if that's possible.

4

One of the reason why I don't think there should be 1 game for each team member. Maybe some people can't do it or don't have the chracters, but everyone can contribute to which heroes should be in the next game.

5

Also, if people want to make their own teams, it's fine with me.

6

I'm interested if people want to do this on G+. A forum game might work, too, but that would take more than a week or two.

7

I am cautiously in. Forums would be nice, but are rather slow...

8

Honestly, anything works. Want one game a week? Fine. Want to sivide up into groups of 2 or 3 people fine. I am gladly run anything.

9

Ok, how about this. Evweyone pick there own team. I will give a week in between each game, so that if people want to play-by-forum they can. I will announce the first game for this weekend, and it will be against a difficulty 1 villain.

10

I'm in, but I've got my own private team of friends that will join me in playing these matches.

11

What settings are the villains? Do people who play Advanced get more points? Also, if you lose to a villain, can you retry that game with a different set of heroes?

12

Want to be on a team, Silverleaf?

13

I didn’t plan on it being on advanced. One reason was that it is a lot harder to control the difficulty.

There are 4 games of 4 heroes. There isn’t rwally any room for retries. I guess I am trusting everyone to be honest and only play 1 game.

Now whether or not we limit the environments is interesting. Right not I plan on doing random, but if people really don’t want something in there that’s ok.

One Idea was that it will be random, but once one ia chosen, I won’t choose another from that set.

14

Yay, that sounds fun. :slight_smile:

I am going to post the first game soon, but I won't give an official end time. I want people to have enough time to make a team and play the game. I am hoping the next game will be posted by next weekend, but we will see.

I also wanted to go over a couple of rules:

 

In each game, you will choose 4 heroes to play. You cannot reuse any of those heroes.

You CANNOT use any promo heroes, and no promo villains will be used.

You CAN make your team after finding out about the villain and environment.

While the environment will be random, You will not see two environments from the same expansion. For this game, the mini-expansions are considered one expansion.

The first game will be against a level 1 villain, the next a level 2, etc. 

I will be using the official difficulties. This means that Gloomweaver is a 3 (if many people want to move him, we can), and Kismet is a 2. I asked Christopher about this. The printed version is correct, and the online version the Sentinels Sidekick need to be changed.

You can only play the game once. If you win, you recieve points equal to the difficulty of the villain.

No advance mode.

 

The first game will either be against Baron Blade or Omnitron in any environment.

My only advice is to plan ahead. Think about what heroes you really need against those level 4 villains.

 

I will post the first game soon. If there are any questions, please ask.

16

Haha! I laugh at planning ahead! There's nothing better than just winging it!

17

I would love to do this on G+, if someone wants me on their team.

18

FORUMITES U-FORUM-NITE!

I suppose that doesn't really work to rally the forum game players, since we're all forumites... Eh.

19

Sounds good to me.

I'm too sexy for this game.
