Ohh stats, my favourite!
I'm very unsurprised to see human/elves coming out with the top spots and the best ratios.
Being an orc myself I'm looking forward to another pvp tournament where my spears can get used the way they were meant to be - skewering human horsies.
Anyways, great stats. Yet again I have to congratulate Boromir - I don't think he's gonna need to buy any prestige for years!
EDIT: Oh and yeh I used my 50/150 elite/praetorians from the last tourny all tournament. I had them split across 25 divisions evenly though so I didn't actually lose any at all.

good stuff. an interesting tourney, nice concept but became a bit of a grin. Im not complaining, but a bit more strategy and opportunity for player / player interaction would be nice, and i dont necessarily mean pvp.
anyhow, good work and thanks and congrats to the victors!!!!

It was a lot of fun, and spurred a lot of Intra-Alliance competitions, too.
Now, off to rebuild my Advanced Resources, in particular, Livestock, Saddles, and Plate Armor, that were decimated trying to keep my armies stocked with Cavalry, Longbows, and Men-at-Arms...
Cheers to the Devs for a great Tourney...

We the VALAR would like to thank the Devs for creating this opportunity for a darkhorse alliance such as the VALAR to shine. As I already said in a separate post we are equally cognizant of the sterling performance of Boromir but I would like to out one more secret: we have been cultivating our good relationship
with Boromir from the very time of the Great Teleport Move, when we found him to be one of our new neighbors then. Also and just as equally important, I just would like to give credit to all the other members of the VALAR who made the alliance win happen. This was team effort in our VALAR best.
We also salute our worthy opponents from H?, mCrows, Peace, and Invictus who, seriously, gave us so many sleepless nights, trembling hands, hypertension and bitten fingernails due to the relentless challenge and the tight races. :). Truly you are amongst the best players of the game. And it has been an honor to have played this tournament with your great alliances.
At the very least, we are glad to have done our part in making the game a varied and exciting experience for most, including ourselves, for the greater good of the game.
We shall now take some rest and catch up on some sleep. :)

Any chance we can again be collecting bodypart in the futur, even if just for role play? The king stole my fur collection.
Make it appear on the profil page, so we can brag about it...

| Watch this space, bartimeus. | I'm not sure what bart was asking for, but I like the idea of a "badge of honor" for everyone who has participated in The King's Tournaments... something permanent on the profile page. Or a link on profile pages that shows what tournaments a player has been involved in... kinda like a 'reward for participation' for the folks that didn't have the good fortune/time etc. to win material prizes.

For that matter, in-game record of tournament placement in player history would be nice for winners and participators alike. It would give long-term player accounts more personality and individual context.
Date a: joined alliance x Date b: left joined x joined alliance x2 Date c: placed 3rd in King's First Tournament Date d: placed 12th in King's Second Tournament - individual largest unique collection placed 1st in King's Second Tournament - alliance largest unique collection
...and so on.

I'd like to thank the devs for making this a tourney in which nearly everyone could participate -- even the smaller players. It was great fun collecting the parts and watching our alliance and individual totals add up. And it gave us a reason to use our little armies and get some commander XP. Thank you!!!

Congratulations to all winners! Your perseverance was incredible. This tourney was a great idea, keep up the good work devs!
On a side note, King Sigurd ordering the mass slaughter of 12,972,554 non-aggressive animals (just to collect specimens for a new Museum?) has done nothing to improve his public image. Too much innocent blood has been spilled, too many hunters have not returned home, for too vague a reason.
Some whisper, behind closed doors, that the King and the Council have started to feel more and more uncomfortable with the growing military power of numerous Alliances. To quote from Karlygon, Grantsman of Charters speaking on behalf of the Council: "It is clear to all of us with eyes to see that the continued banding together of Lords, operating outside the wise rules and established covenants of His Majesty King Sigurd, is a threat ." So, what better way to lessen the strength of their armies than a great, blood-splattering, hunt? After all it is known that hunting accidents happen all the time anyway...right?
Undying Flame's word rings more convincing, to many more, after the last tourney: "The Truth is plainly visible even to a simpleton: King Sigurd is naught
but a weak, craven and venal heir to murder, who dances as a puppet on
the strings of a 'Council' that speaks for none but themselves.
Who is it who feeds your family, and who is it who dies abroad in pointless campaigns for the 'glory' of an invisible monarch?
It is you: the goodly, hard-working peoples of the land."

Date a: joined alliance x Date b: left joined x joined alliance x2 Date c: placed 3rd in King's First Tournament Date d: placed 12th in King's Second Tournament - individual largest unique collection placed 1st in King's Second Tournament - alliance largest unique collection
...and so on.

The above post made by Tinuviel is truly wonderful and has kept within the spirit of the game.
Congratulations specifically to the Order of the Valar who managed to put in a commtted and gritty perfomance. They were well led. well organised and highly motivated. Boromir and darkone have already been mentioned. These are the quiet people who (unlike me ) don't court the limelight of Chat or the forums. You can also add duQ. tigre, darkstirder , kudruk and others. They don't seek kudos or notoriety. They just team up and do the business.
I am humbled.

Congratulations to all winners! Your perseverance was incredible. This tourney was a great idea, keep up the good work devs!
On a side note, King Sigurd ordering the mass slaughter of 12,972,554 non-aggressive animals (just to collect specimens for a new Museum?) has done nothing to improve his public image. Too much innocent blood has been spilled, too many hunters have not returned home, for too vague a reason.
Some whisper, behind closed doors, that the King and the Council have started to feel more and more uncomfortable with the growing military power of numerous Alliances. To quote from Karlygon, Grantsman of Charters speaking on behalf of the Council: "It is clear to all of us with eyes to see that the continued banding together of Lords, operating outside the wise rules and established covenants of His Majesty King Sigurd, is a threat ." So, what better way to lessen the strength of their armies than a great, blood-splattering, hunt? After all it is known that hunting accidents happen all the time anyway...right?
Undying Flame's word rings more convincing, to many more, after the last tourney: "The Truth is plainly visible even to a simpleton: King Sigurd is naught
but a weak, craven and venal heir to murder, who dances as a puppet on
the strings of a 'Council' that speaks for none but themselves.
Who is it who feeds your family, and who is it who dies abroad in pointless campaigns for the 'glory' of an invisible monarch?
It is you: the goodly, hard-working peoples of the land."

Exactly my point! King Sigurd is evil! We must band together and overthrow him!
People of Illy..... Think of your armies. Their families. Grieving because this... this KING has decided he wants a bit of scientific knowledge?! Or does he have an ulterior motive.
I refuse to acknowledge this man as king. Sigurd is a liar, a thief, and a murderer on the scale of a thousand fold. Do you want to lose thousands upon thousands of soldiers, just because this man wants some nice things to display?! nOr does he fear the power of allinces.
We CAN overthrow him. And we will.

I've lost that many troops just out of interest or vague boredom. Nice things to diplay seems like a good reason to me.

I would love to see a gold ph cost ratio on troops lost for each race compared to the npc's
- Human Players: 1,973,420 Casualties Taken whilst killing 5,775,141 NPCs (Ratio 1:2.9)
- Elf Players: 1,362,061 Casualties Taken whilst killing 3,404,796 NPCs (Ratio 1:2.5)
- Dwarf Players: 1,162,472 Casualties Taken whilst killing 2,683,866 NPCs (Ratio: 1:2.3)
- Orc Players: 601,908 Casualties Taken whilst killing 1,108,751 NPCs (Ratio: 1:1.8)

I think you'd find that humans would gain an even higher preference in this tourny - due to their cavalry with higher upkeep - elves + dwarves would rise slightly and Orcs would be even further at the bottom of the pile.
