Topic: Kodabear's 3rd server wide Tournament
Posted By: kodabear
Subject: Kodabear's 3rd server wide Tournament
Date Posted: 16 Nov 2017 at 00:07
Hello, everyone, I am planning on another Tournament.  This Tournament will be in January and will have all new Tournament sqs (see SC quote below for more information). I don't know if the devs will be changing the  http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/World/TournamentSquares" rel="nofollow - http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/World/TournamentSquares   but I will post them on this post on January 1st as soon as I can. The Tournament will start on the 2nd as I will need time to edit the Tournament database. If you have any question you can post it here or send me an IGM and I may answer it should I be in a non-lazy mood 

From Midnight server time on the 2nd of January through to Midnight on the 2nd of February, any member of any alliance in an occupation of these squares receives credit for holding the square.

 Any army arriving (= the so-called combat occurrence date) BEFORE midnight 2nd of January will NOT be counted. So even if you have an army that arrived one second before the tournament start and stays there for the whole duration of the tournament not a single second of your occupation will be considered. So make sure that your armies arrive AFTER the tournament start.

Credit is based on the length of occupation of each square.  The time occupied by an alliance on each square counts towards the Alliance total.

 

This credit is on an alliance basis - individual players cannot participate in this tournament.

 You are not allowed to leave your alliance and join another alliance while you have any armies on one of the Tournament Squares (I am hoping the devs will do the normal thing where you can't leave your alliance if you have troops on one of the Tournament Squares)


This time I am going to force the alliance leaders to gather the list of combat API keys from their members that will be taking part.  This way will be it easier for alliance leaders to know who and who hasn't sent in their API keys. One's an alliance leader has collected all the API keys from their members they can send me the list of API keys and playerIDs and player names.


Prizes

This time around I won't be offering any my own res for prizes but if any player wants to donate stuff for prizes you are more than welcome to send. If you do send stuff that you want to be used for prizes please also send me an IGM listing what you sent just in case I have to cancel the Tournament should something get into the way. 


(copied from a post that Digioso did)

We need three things from each participant in order for you to join the tournament.

a) Your player name (so basically you name in the game)
b) Your player ID
c) Your Combat reports API key 

How can you obtain these?
a) Your name in the game. Mine would be Digioso.
b) Check out the below picture:


c) Open this link:  http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Player/Account?page=api" rel="nofollow - http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Player/Account?page=api
There is a Key text field behind the text "Combat Reports". Click in the text field, hit CTRL+A (or whatever you need to do on your Operating system to do that) to mark the whole key. Copy it to the clipboard and paste it into the form that will be provided.

This is how it looks: The big black box on the screenshot has the key:
Combat API

Hey Koda,

Your call on the square rotation!

I'm not sure why it's not automatically rotating every 3 months, but I can certainly make sure they randomly move on Jan 1st, if you'd prefer that for your tournie...?

Let me know, and gl with the tournament. We'll certainly be providing some unique GM prizes - details to follow.

Best,

SC

I'll make sure you get an excel spreadsheet and delimited file with X|Y co-ords of each new tournament square.

Devs are doing a harvesting tourney. King of the Hill is WAY better than nothing. And if you don't like it, figure out a way to run one you find more interesting. So far, Koda is the only one to step up.

You are more than welcome to either get someone to create some coding for you or create your own coding for a Tournament. and then pay for a server and a database and then collect all the API keys (if that is needed) and then listen to all the whining that is likely to happen. As this is the only one I am currently doing.

Your efforts are highly appreciated Koda. King of the Hill may not be an inventive tournament, but it's always been a lot of fun and most of us know you put a lot of work in it. 

If people don't like King of the Hill, just don't participate and complain to the devs for lack of different tournaments instead of complaining to the only person who arranges something for the entire server to enjoy.

Keep in mind folks, Illy is a sandbox game as has been said numerous times by the developers.

Only problem is most of the sandbox toys are old or broken.  

A few players have attempted to create fun for the server but when the devs have given up on the game it's hard to really do much.

Most of their "updates" are the equivalent of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Happy I jumped in a lifeboat weeks ago.  Done wasting my time with this stale game.

I agree with you Stukah, and for the reasons you say, I respect every player who contributes.

Are we supposed to send api keys etc in igm? If so, will we hear back if there are problems or when we sent short on information?


Posted By: Twist
Date Posted: 31 Dec 2017 at 20:53
alliance members need to send their API keys to their alliance leader.... each alliance leader then sends the API keys to Kodabear 

needs to be done quickly though, not sure when the deadline is?

Squares are still at the same location. Does this mean that we can assume that's where the tournament will be held? I havn't heard anything about it for a while. Does it even go on?

It said SC would change them today, and either he or Koda will give a heads up in here.

I wouldn't go storming out at midnight before a confirmation.

heheh.  Very wise words, indeed, from CK!

The tournament squares have randomly relocated themselves, one per region, with the usual sensible ruleset (not a player city, no sov, no incoming settlers, no incoming units, no pre-occupying armies, no NPCs etc).

With best wishes, best of luck with the tournament, and a very Happy New Year to you all,

SC

Koda is busy, imagine what his inbox looks like.  He's been online and I'm confident the tourney will start as scheduled, after all,  Mr. MagicBear always follows through.

I would suggest you do not IGM him unless you have questions or are submitting API information.  Please give him time to process the API keys for the tourney.

Thanks!

Great to hear that Koda is doing his thing. Tourneyers (?) owe him a lot.

Unfortunately, due to a prior engagement, Aesir will not be able to take part on this occasion. However we will sponsor a prize. 

The prize is 1 Prestige parchment plus 1 orc tentacle. It will go to the individual who achieves the highest kill ratio in a single kill killing more than 10k. So get your crafted gear in order and good luck. I'll also award medals for the best kill ratios on each terrain type for kills over 10k.

Good luck everyone and Thank You Kodabear
