I'm not out of town, as it turns out, so I'm in. I'll PM you my build as soon as I have it.

IGN: Flaxative

p.s. Glory to the Sorcererers!!

 

Im in , need start work on my deck

 

I will join.

Not that I intend to use this, but you should clarify if holiday items and the item they are based on count as the same item.

 

Should be fun!

Even if it was 7 PM UTC it would be till 10 PM UTC, which means it would be 2 AM to 5 AM for you since you have to stay for the full 3 hours or you're pretty much disqualified from any prizes. Seems like that would be too late for anyone, or am I mistaken?

Good point, I'll update it to clarify that holiday items count as the same item they are based on for duplicate purposes and are thus illegal to use both at the same time.

 

I should be posting my build later tonight / early tomorrow morning publicly. That's when everyone is free to send me their build. You can change it at any time up to an hour before the tournament in case you find some new items or come up with a new strategy. Remember, any questions or concerns feel free to ask here or contact me privately! =)

 

So... does that mean this is going to be at 2pm Eastern, 3pm Eastern or 4 pm Eastern?

 

Good question! It is set for 3 PM Eastern (8 PM UTC) at the moment. Unless there is some overwhelming response from a large number of people for it to change... it will stay at that time.

 

OK so I have only one copy of an Epic item but I want to use it in the same slot on one of my main characters AND the alternate/sub character that I want to swap that character with...so ?
Looks like I am playing at high noon.

 

That's fine as long as your sub always swaps with the person who carries the same item. However, you're limiting yourself for your sub to only swap with that single character because otherwise it would make your party invalid.

 

I'm in. I'll PM my build when it's ready.

 

Working on a build for the tournament. Expect me to submit something when I'm ready too.

 

Are we going to face each person in the tournament once, as in one 11-minute battle, or are we going to face each opponent with a best of three?
Just to be clear.

 

First post says 6 rounds of 30 minutes (11 minutes per player + extra time for managing). So only one battle per round. Maybe best of three for the finals that will take place on another day.

So ya, what's the point of the sidekick (the 4th guy allowed for replacement)?

 

Just to add a bit of flexibility. It is very minor and completely optional. The primary reason for it is if your main build doesn't seem to be working for you in the first round or two you could swap in your sub and see if you do better.

The finals will maybe be a best of 3, I haven't really determined how it will work exactly but it will definitely be on a different day with just the 4 finalists. No need to worry about it now, it is more going to be a spectator event for others.

 

Okay, here is my build below (and in the second post). I hope it helps explain the things you can do with a sub with the note at the bottom.

I'll submit my build a bit later.

 

I'm in Sydney, +10. So it's early sunday morning for me.

 

Yeah, but that isn't too bad. I mean for some people it is like 2 AM to 5 AM which isn't really feasible unless they are night owls or super dedicated to Card Hunter.

It is hard to schedule people to play given all the different time zones in the world. It just seems like this (plus or minus an hour) is the best for the largest number of players (given that the game is in English and thus most players speak English).

The first community run tournament (by Flaxative) had each match schedule at a different time. It was a nightmare to organize all the people from all around the world and lasted like a month or so. While it definitely did a lot of neat things, like the ability for Flaxative and/or CT5 to narrate all the matches, it was also LONG and CONFUSING. Having everyone play at once really makes it easier to run, more structured to play, and a lot more exciting overall.

 

If it's staying at UTC 8pm, you can sign me up. I should be able to get up.
