At the regional level, it was fascinating to see the regional dominance of some alliances (eg. VicX in Larn and Kem).

Well done all.

Congratulations to all, winners and non-winners alike.. maybe next time.

By the way, shouldn't all tied get same reward? I see many of those tied at second rank, but how about 3rd?

Example, windlost.

Since
Yesterday
Now Since
Midnight
Alliance Champions Won
No Change 1 No Change Elysian Fields [Shade] 13
No Change 2 No Change Murder of Crows [mCrow] 3
No Change 3 No Change SnugglersCrowalition [HUGcr] 2
No Change 3 No Change The More the Merrier [*TMM] 2
No Change 3 No Change The Liberation [HEAT] 2
No Change 6 No Change Pending... [Soon™] 1
No Change 6 No Change Illy Training Ground [ITG] 1

Here, three alliances tied for 3rd rank, even if alphabetically Snugglers show up first, shouldn't all three get the prize? ( I can understand that if there was 2 x 1st, or 2x 2nds, not to be any third.. but why one and not the other 2?)

cheers,

I think Yhina makes a very reasonable point here, surely equal achievement deserves an equal reward and should not be dictated simply by an accident of the the alphabet.  Explanation please LUNA. Confused

Nothing to do with Luna - my fault entirely, I'm afraid.  Embarrassed 

All alliances tied for third place should, of course, get the reward (if they haven't already) - and I'll make this good in the next 24hrs.

Apologies,

SC

I looked in the original prizes and rewards thread but just for clarification, is prestige the only rewards given SC? I heard something about medals and i understand there were individual medals but what about alliance ones for 1st - 3rd? Also great job to all those who participated.

Only medals were the ones people got for getting champions.

Again, sheepish apologies for those alliances left off rewards by my frankly appalling SQL Embarrassed

This is what happens when I write it instead of TC :)

Having reviewed everything, I feel the following awards are appropriate, and will be giving them out shortly.  However, if anyone still thinks I've missed something, please don't hesitate to let me know (in this thread, which I'm watching please).

Best,

UPDATES TO REGIONAL WINNERS

In addition to the winners mentioned above, I'm adding (due to a calculation error on our part, apologies) the following alliances for the following squares and positions:

  • The Old Republic [TOR] deserves 3rd= for Meilla
  • Slaves to Armok [StA] deserves 3rd= for Middle Kingdom
  • Dwarven Lords [Dlord] deserves 3rd= for Middle Kingdom
  • The Crows [Crow]  deserves 2nd= for Tallimar
  • Dwarven Lords [Dlord] deserves 3rd= for Western Realms
  • Kaendran Crows [KCrow] deserves 3rd= for Western Realms

  • The More the Merrier [*TMM] deserves 3rd= for Windlost
  • The Liberation [HEAT] deserves 3rd= for Windlost
Congratulations to all the above alliances.  If I manage to edit the official record above (given this crappy forum software which someone in authority should really do something about, ohwai...), I'll make sure you're in there too :)

Best,

SC

How are you travelling for the rest of the stats for the tourney i.e units killed etc?

Actually, TC and I have just been discussing the datasets and how to cut them.

What we're wondering is...

How would the tournament participants feel about a full or semi-full data set that you yourselves could analyse...?

We're talking a dump of each and every combat during the tournies, all participants and casualties etc.  Think of it as an entire XML dataset (we'd probably release it as flat files for download expediency!) of the full system logs for any combat on tournament squares during the tournie.

This would let everyone cut the data anyway they liked.  We're totally willing to accept anonymisation etc, though we equally accept that the granularity of that could also be compromised by other data sources that we do make public.

ofc, we're still happy to produce the tournie aggregate data ourselves as well, or indeed some hybrid where we aggregate data by some variables that largely anonymise data (eg by day, by attacker/defender, by unit type lost etc, but leaving out players and alliances.)

I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this?  (And I'm sure you do!)

Please pitch in here...!

SC

I should add that we'd mostly be interested in someone (or some different people) producing a really interesting public dataset here as well. I certainly wouldn't want this dataset being in the wholly exclusive provenance of technically-capable entities!


Posted By: Malek
Date Posted: 16 May 2013 at 02:53
I think that this would be a great idea.

Excellent Suggestion SC.

I don't object to having data from tournament squares released, as long as it is accurate.  Everyone already knows that my armies are pathetic anyway.

I would be willing to coordinate a team to create a publicly useful dataset (with the ability to create simple reports, perhaps, as well as simply to grab the raw data and manipulate it).  I do not have the skills to do the work myself, but I am willing to find the people with these abilities and bribe them with cows, if necessary.

As a starter, I'd like to see the exact same stats as were given in the last tournament.  My impression is that this tournament had WAY more units involved than the last one, and I'm really interested in seeing the numbers for comparison!
 
Making the raw data available for download on top of that would be awesome.
 
Cheers!

am i correct in understanding that NO Tournament Medal will be given to top 3 alliances for winning the tournament as done in previous tournies? 



Posted By: Rill
Date Posted: 16 May 2013 at 06:04
right, no tournament medals for the winners, just for the people who got champions.

I would love to have access to the data set file to cut up all different ways.

I was not able to post any of the publicly available data that I compiled for this tournament onto the Illy forums but I did share it via a link to a google doc.

So not only do the members who were unable to WIN a champ because they arrived at squares late/used all their men supporting other alliance members to hold the square get NO CHAMPS, they also get no tourney medal either.  So they get nothing basically for 1 month of effort (100 prestige per alliance per square won is nothing)?

A lil Harsh ditto but I would Echo the same sentiments, I was under the impression the medals would go to the top 3 alliances like previosly- not individuals. That being said the top 3 alliances have nearly 100 members- broken down thats not very much prestige per player. And nothing for those who were slower to the squares/ were unlucky enough to lose the square minutes before being taken over.

I have to agree with the previous two posts. In the rules of the tournament it states;
 
"The devious-minded might suspect that the tournament has been set up this way to reward alliances who can cooperate and organize themselves well, rather than just those with a few huge players."

If this is the case and alliance cooperation was needed why is there not a medal for the first 3 alliances' player that participated. What actually did happen was essentially the reverse with those "few huge players" the ones that ended up with the most medals, off the top of my head

- DD89              10
-Ditto                 9
- Empress olivia    9
Though this is good for the players, the rest of the alliance (in this case H? and Crow), provided the troop support throughout the tourney for these players to be able to get their medals for that achievement. To me the individual medals nullify's the great support shown by the top 3 alliances players by them contributing a lot of the work for no reward. What makes the lack of a medal harder to swallow is the pretense that this tourney was all about alliance teamwork and coordination yet only individuals were rewarded.  The amount of effort that went into the tourney by all was astronomical due to the tourney mechanics and to not see that hard work rewarded for all in those top 3 alliances is a little disappointing, especially considering how close the tourney was for first and third positions.

I thought the purpose of the tournament was to relieve me of my excess troops so I was no longer suffering from negative gold.  And it accomplished that very well!

Rill thats what Audrey feeding is for.  

I agree with the sentiment it could have been more alliance focused.  Randomness was bad as well.

Hoping the next tournament won't be a repeat king of the hill.

I agree with others who have pointed out this tourney required alliance coordination and we have many members who did NOT earn a medal but were helping the alliance on multiple squares.    While the least favorite of all the tourneys so far, I did have a great time coordinating with my fellow alliance mates, the last day was both thrilling and a nail bitter  (kudos to Crows again).    I'd rather give up my individual medal in favor of the alliance medals that go to all members in H.     We won as a team, not as individuals.

Can we get an update:  I have a unassigned petition from May 1st submitted at the request of Luna plus there was a good amount of input in this thread.
