Official NA & EU Events/Tournaments (This means unique rewards)

[WITCHCRAFT]

Also a meassage on every new map on the servers about incoming tounaments or events will be a nice idea. SO more people will notice them and not only people that sit in the forum.

This is a really good idea. Right now the server message is just a generic "hello enjoy your stay" and hasn't been changed in ages (or maybe ever?).

I think it's been changed once in its existence. Before it just had the server info and nothing else.

Maybe instead of the server message (cause I think few read it) have a message appear near the top of the screen in a bold colored font

"TOURNAMENT. JUNE 6. EU_8. GO TO EVENTS THREAD FOR MORE INFO."

and have it repeat once every hour or so.

Yeah, we could probably advertise events/tournaments using the server message on battle, siege, dtv, rageball, and perhaps duel. I think it's clear that not everyone reads these forums often, so anything that helps get the average player/clanless guy involved, helps.

How exactly.

We could also get on Skype and Fap with each other.

How do you set up a system that allows for reliable alteration of the message?

It's a basic warband server feature.

Can admins edit it?

Is there anything in general server maintenance cycle that might undesirably reset it on a regular basis?

Its really easy.You can change it ingame or in the serverfiles,just a few clicks.

Character name: GOBBLINKINGSUMMERVACATION
Ban history(within the last year): I think I've been banned once, possibly twice. Nothing more than 24 hours. One was for typing back what a guy had just said to me (he had said something offensive). I've barely escaped a lot of bans in that time, I'll be honest.
Why you're applying: I've experimented around with being a referee/contributor/organizer in large leagues in other games (like the United Warfare League in DoD:S), and it's fun and rewarding. I find it easy to keep my trolling bullshit compartmentalized away from it because it gives me a different face to put forward and a focus on constructive effort. I have no trouble being impartial. I'm willing to sacrifice anything I have in the game for the overall effort.
Your region(NA/EU/etc.): NA

Big cheers Tydeus ! Those events will sure change us from the usual grind which barely motivates us anymore.

Other than that, I have to say I support the opinion that only STF and non-loomed weapons should be used.
Although I agree that this is C-rpg and we boast diversity, when it comes to a tournament where we are to judge skill and skill only, one shouldn't have an advantage over the other.
Let each person decide his gear/build the way he wants, but do not let one have an advantage just because he grinded strat more than the other. Thats my opinion.

Why restrict it? We can have both.
Crpg-events with main chars and all looms and competition-events with STF chars and all unloomed.

I don't see the point why we should have only one.

Yeah, like 1v1 fights we might prefer STF characters to show who has the better skill, but for something like 5v5, particularly clan 5v5s, no restrictions would be fine I think because the focus is more teamwork than individual OP-ness.

I will certainly participate once my exams are over!
