I have some advise if you REALLY want to make a tournament that everybody is satisfied with:
1. Unbug the mission if you offer a "homebrew". Some examples:
- "No screen xxx" message everytime you buy AI
- Odd hints from MANDO
- Spawnkilling
- Map border error
- Players not able to buy vehicles, although highest rank, money and
factories
-....
Also the bug report from WM team two days earlier:
"Hi:)
Tournament match ended after about 2 hrs. mission got really bugd, respawn bug(locked out side map grid) for many players. Battle.no's team commander lost construction menu and couldnt get it back even after reboot, dont know about other team commander. Several players lost connection several times. And several players couldnt get back ingame right away, and when they got ingame they had respawnbug. Dont know if this was related to mission it self or the server. Both teams agreed on ending match because it got unplayable."
Well, you cannot merge out every bug all the time, I know. But to say: "The mission works because I made it" is just LOL. What should other clans think of you?!
2. Especially the tournament hosting team should be ready at scheduled time and at full size. Not like it was at our match: 45 minutes after appointment and at 50% strength. This is even worse bcs you rescheduled match a whole week earlier on short notice.
3. Make rules clear to everyone, don't hide secret rules only YOU know about.
Our match ended bcs you destroyed HQ BUT we had several buildings left. Erm, where do you say I can find the definition for "all structures"? I unfortunately cannot open the mission manual at google, but you forum doesn't say it here: Tournament Rules. To which rulebook tournament is bound after all?! manual, forums?! Most servers playing warfare have the rule "all buildings destroyed or towns taken" enabled..but the games end when there is no SPAWN or producing factory left....
4. Bother to explain features or unclear stuff ONLINE, especially if you made the mission. Do you know how often I have to explain features of WF BE ZGM? Rather feel proud of it than being annoyed like you did at our game: welding around with tournament bans and swear words. Just pointing at the manual ain't fair when you are using a mission you know best about. Even testing won't explain any feature or question. This also applies for the rules.
Nothing to add. I had tonight a bad experience with you Rubber.
