The super late and disorganized team has now been filled

[tasonir]

Usually I try to set up the ol' team before the tournament starts, but being somewhat disorganized this time around I've messaged the old team and only had half of them respond, so there's 3 slots open for anyone who somehow both 1) wants to be on a team, and 2) somehow isn't, despite the tournament having started days ago. Hence the clan name is "The tournament starts when"?

No requirements, we aren't trying to win, feel free to join if you want. About the only benefit I can offer is that I'll look at your morgues and maybe go "ummm hmmm" or possibly "wow", with a small chance of "you could try doing this instead, maybe".

With rewards like that, who can say no?

[Reptisaurus]

Yeah, cool, I'm in. I currently have 5 runes starting Zot, so I miiiiigggghhht win 1.

[delarado]

Is it took late to join? I've never done a tournament before. What do you have to do? How does it work?

[sunspire]

I am happy to join you as a late addition. Tell me what to do. Thanks.

I added this to the top line of my .rc file:
# TEAMCAPTAIN Tasonir


I think you need to add me to your .rc file also

[tasonir]

I'll add all three of you, I am assuming your names are the same on the forum as in the tournament, if anyone's is different let me know.

My rc file is now this:

# TEAMNAME The tournament starts when?
# TEAMMEMBERS mopl glosham sunspire delarado Reptisaurus

You should see yourself show up the next time it refreshes (~15 minutes) if your RC is set up correctly. If it hasn't shown up check your file or yell at me to check mine again

Edit: Delarado: just add the line that sunspire posted to the top of your RC file.

[sunspire]

I noticed that for some reason the first line of my .rc file was not changed, so I updated it. But the system still does not show me in your clan for some reason. Yes, my name should be "sunspire" Does it not add me because I am already in a game?

[delarado]

Does it matter which server I play on? I added that line to my rc on underhound.eu.

Bear in mind Ive never even looked at a tournament before until I posted in this thread. I can play the game, but I have no idea how the other stuff works so I apologise in advance for my stupidity!

What do I need to do? Just add the line to my RC and then play the best I can? Is it just judged on one single game or a few?

EDIT Ive got it now.

https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.24/

Had all the info I needed. I’ll get playing!

[tasonir]

I'm now seeing reptisaurus in the clan, but not delarado/sunspire. It doesn't matter what server you play on, and all games played during the ~16 days will count, so don't worry about when you play them or if you've already started a game. You don't have to quit anything already going.

Make sure the line is at the very top of your RC file, you can't put it in the middle or it won't find it. And also that it's the .24 version, not trunk or any older version.

As far as scoring is concerned, the more games you play the better, you don't lose any points for dying and can die as much as you like. The only time that hurts you is if you won the game before it, then dying ends your streak, but if you guys are new (and there's nothing wrong with that) then you probably aren't trying to streak wins together yet. I've had a few streaks, but lately I don't really play crawl outside of tournaments, so I'm not really pushing for streaks myself either.

[delarado]

Hmmmm.. I just started this game tonight. I definitely have that line in my RC, and I am playing the 0.24 version (not trunk)

Can you see me?

[Reptisaurus]

Cool. As of last night I was 204th in total points, but (tied for) 3rd in most species/class high scores. (The trick is to die a lot and not waste time winning.)

[tasonir]

We have succeeded in basic bookkeeping and now have a valid team of 6 people! Go us! Our page is here: https://crawl.develz.org/tournament/0.2 ... sonir.html

I currently have the most points, but I expect you all to push me down to 6th place by the time this is over!

I also won my first game giving me a 100% winrate, and then have managed to splat roughly 20 characters since then, mostly going after nemelex bonus characters with pretty rough starts, or other weak starts that I happen to like (octopodes, mainly).

[delarado]

I also enjoy an Octopode; but probably won't play any here - as you don't get anythin if you splat, do you?

[tasonir]

You can earn points while still dying, depending on what you do. If you get runes, that's worth some points, and killing ghosts is worth points for the team score (I'm not sure if it gives individual points?). You don't lose any points for dying, aside from breaking streaks, if you're on one. See the full scoring page for details, I'm not really a scoring expert. I mostly just try to get some wins with different background/race, and if possible play carefully when on streak, and that's all the "optimizing" I do for score. If I have the patience, I try to get a speedrun in too, fast wins are also worth more points. That's what led to several Vinestalker deaths yesterday, I like to speedrun them.

[delarado]

f*** Urug and her stupid Javelins. Bye Bye promising DEFE lol.

[Reptisaurus]

Being part of a clan in fun!

If I'm reading this right we got two guys in extended? Yeah! Go team!

1:10:32 ago: sunspire the Minotaur Barricade (L27 MiFi of Okawaru) left Gehenna. (Hell, turn 70855, dur 9:52:09, cao)
22:01:20 ago: mopl the Wrestler (L25 TrWr of Qazlal) entered the Abyss! (Depths:4, turn 51623, dur 3:47:47, cpo)

[sunspire]

Yeah, I've got 9 runes so far with this fortunate build. +12 Vampire's Tooth + rings of slaying is a force to be reckoned with ..

Hell is finished, Pan is next.. I'm going for 15 runes.

[Reptisaurus]

Cool!

I am in Vaults with a ghoul IE of Ru, but feel really weak for this stage in the game. Can't see how I get another rune without splatting.

[Reptisaurus]

Hey, 3 wins! I don't know what's going on, I am usually not this good. I am a little scared.

[delarado]

I've been useless.

First game got owned by Urug as a DEFE. Second game found a +11 mace on D3 which carried me easily until I died to hubris. Third game I died as soon as entered lair because I forgot Axes + Hydras is a bad idea.

[Reptisaurus]

Nah, you had a really high percentage of solid games.

" 124722 Minotaur Fighter Okawaru Warrior Swamp:1 annihilated by a tyrant leech 16 30621 2:15:44 2019-10-31 23:23:48
2 60014 Minotaur Monk Okawaru Fighter D:12 blasted by a necromancer (bolt of fire) 14 21959 1:13:06 2019-11-02 18:35:20"

That's points right there!

And mopl... 15 Ruuuuuuuuunnnnnees! WOO HOO! Great, great, great job! We moved up like 5 places on the clan score list!

[delarado]

not had much chance to play guys but hoping for a win on my current MiMo.

Check the characters in progress forum as I'd like some tips to maximise my success!

Can't believe Mopl won a game in less time than its taken me to finish orc and lair! You go guys!

[sunspire]

Well good games all, as you may have noticed, I died after my 11th rune. Just in case you are wondering the reason I died was, after killing Mnoleg, I was still badly mutated and because I didn't prepare properly ( I didn't bring all my mutation potions, so I ran out of them) , I died trying to escape Pan. It was a good run though.. killed Cerebov too.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a win this tourney, maybe next time.

Good job mopl, Tasonir and Reptisaurus

I finished a lowly 4th in the clan .. a disgrace, I know.

[Reptisaurus]

Yeah, that was fun.

I feel like I should've tried for a 15 rune win at some point.
