Though my opinion stands - this will be a MOR'S default or 3v3 not diplo.

Nope this will be free for all point grabbing game and I feel myself fairly comfortable at that. 8)



Yeah that's my experience of default. At d1 everybody tries to get points. Game ends in 10 minutes.
Yeah come to think of it this will be fun :O. I can't wait.

I will not allow noobs to play, simply because its a tournament and you need some kind of experience after all. Not sure why people view this as a "third party mode". Yes it may not acquire the ultimate skills that you need in 2v2 but there is a complete different set of skill that come with diplomacy. In my view diplomacy is much much harder to win then a 2v2 simply because there is no set tactics there is no set way to win. Also it should be viewed as a recreational mode where you can have fun and have a good time. Not so serious like 2v2.

Edit: As much as I don't like ROFL, Endless and the rest of them, but they are a good example on how diplomacy has a completely different set of skills. They have mastered diplomacy and developed a unique set of skills far more complex then your 2V2 game. Diplomacy is like a intersection each way will lead you to a different out come.

Tried my best to explain in a way someone could understand :)

Edit: One last thing LOL, finds out my friends car has wifi in it so I can check up on the forums now and then.

Id like to see you get more victories over me in 1v1 and 2v2 than in diplo. As you said in your view diplo is much harder to win than a 2v2.

It is harder to win then 1v1 and 2v2 (Sometimes) There are diplo games where its just a bunch of noobs and you can win by just sitting there.

My specialty haha:
  1. Proclaim yourself a pacifist.
  2. Whenever someone leaves/is kicked from the alliance, arrange private peace.
  3. Drive whoever is cold-hearted enough to backstab you...into the ground.

yep, I do not play those kind of diplomacy games, they are much to boring. Most people view diplomacy as that of what I just described. Yes there are for the most part Diplomacy games like that, Yes I agree they are stuiped boring and pointless. But when you get a group of good players in a diplomacy game, anything gos. That is why I like diplomacy, only if you can get decent players to join in on the fun :D

I noticed that Endless is not banned anymore. Cool.
I wonder what name he'll be playing under.


Side-note: In spite of the pros playing in this tourny, my goal will be to try to score as high as i can and on their expense as much as possible :).

I can state to you with fact, that I will not be playing in this tournament, nor any games in the foreseeable future. This is mostly because I am working 70+ hours per week between Kentucky state police and selling toyotas. I might spectate a few but I just don't have the drive atm.
