I don't know how I could have gone for a ram, tape positioned so well, I need someone to run me through anti trap training
Forbidden optimisation tournament knowledge
i play enough dom to know trap positions lol
yeah
ultra mini ion turret (capactatior is to allow it to shoot)
You 2-3 openings but they all were not great Ill admit that
traps are my worst archetype to play and play against
Why the cap though?
so it doesn't instantly run out of power
geo it spawns in with power
ik
so make it even better worse
not enough tho
????
Those nukes were illegal
they were deff manual nukes
sush
no theyre not illegal
why are they illegal
smallest laser turret possible (there is only 1 crew)
nope
Uh oh ,_,
i honestly don't know either
????
Is it not best of 3 ?
i think "illegal nukes" should be allowed too
checking for illegal nukes
KABAM
Oh okay
oki
smallest ***LASER *** turret possible
once nukes have a 360 fire radius I'll allow it
in my opinion it's intended
Walt said it wasn't if I remember correctly
ok still i can make smaller
fine
Walt has quite literally said its not intended
Oh heck ://///
tada
how are these nukes illegal and locking allowed fine your call
#1020489415476396043 message
oki :3
ok (explode the charge)
The same way it has been for previous tournaments. Locking was deemed an interesting mechanic and illegal nukes were deemed not so
yeah i'm just an activist for manual control of nukes i know it's tough for you 2 ๐
it's why i stopped using nion,
this is why i dont use nukes
did i make any other mistakes?
Good news is that in a future rebalance mod tournament we don't need to worry about illegal nukes
fine
explode the charge
I feel like "illegal nukes" should be allowed for the same reason that locking is allowed
I have to build that EVERY TIME I want a smol
only 3k
your ship is WEAK
Not sure. I think you might have been able to get a better angle from the beginning but idk. You did pretty well. Its a though matchup
i've succesfully sneaked in a couple of times illegal nukes in tourneys
ty
who is weak here
Locking directly violates thruster deadzone
yeah i disagree it's more powerful but fine
who needs 12K
I don't disagree that locking is cool I just don't like that players can get beamed for something that they may not know about
how do you get the crew in
how do you get your crew in
oh snow definitely knows about that
fair
i knew tape was gonna play rails, thought it was gonna be a TB rail so was worried about using a flak wall
i knew you were weak to traps and that you thought it was going to be a tb rail
so i used traps instead
wp snow
gg xsnow
dang
gg
well done sno :D
I was out planned
Dang snow wp, I was sure you would play traps or morbiter
playing the wildcard was a good call
I'm never not going to use a flak wall again :3
Absolutely, wp, gl in turney
you too!
my problem with "illegal nukes" is the name
if you call them illegal of course they shouldnt be allowed
those side nukes are pain
You can blame saris for that
if anything at least I'm consistent, last tournament I also got 1-2 and got a buy in a round
but realistically its based on if its actually fun, is it interesting and unique?
i think so, they're vital for rammers with side nukes and a natural way to play if you use manual weapons control
it's your call though
its not of the same calibre as locking, explosion guns, pikes, nuke flingers etc
who won the losers bracket?
stil ongoing
not over yet
got it
wait guessing I don't, but do I get a 3rd chance or something
who remaining?
next tournament :)
oh
I love the squib.
sadly i didn't meet my goal of not getting last place
yes :3
but i still took a fair amount of experience away
"can't mine rock so i mine you"
Too op
gg tape
wp tape
ok so i dont stay
i did not knew we was under the glare of a paragon
vilda
ah
oh wait im dumb
why did i think that was someone else lol
hold up is my next game gonna be a bo3?
im too lazy to see myself
Dang I'm still surprised how this ion rammer was agile
@desert sky commentators are wondering pronouns
ohhhh
I'm laughing but only because they can re
ye
same
sno that was amazing :D
ouch
So proud
Hmm
i wish illegal mines were allowed (and i wish they still worked)
Sno teach me your intimidation strategies <-<
you have to destroy your blasters first
What a nice duel
what did i do
That moment when you told tape "I have my pick" sounded so ominous somehow haha
welp blaze vs tape
i'm glad i got this far
You did really good sno :p
this this is over i can finally post Mischief now :P
thanks alot to @granite river who helped me optimizing it, without em i wouldn't have won against Luna
very good avoider
i didn't understand why you werent adding mines to them if you were having trouble with rammers
You've inspired me to make a mine avoider of my own :p
I may actually take you up on that offer, I only really know the basics
who won round 1?
idk
tape?
yes
because it took away 4 hours of my life and i did not had time before
what else
yay!
rift ping me if you host a creative for geo some day
@naive lion Congrats!!!
Congrats @naive lion
To both of you @naive lion and @hazy brook
very nice tourney
Oh there's an active tournament going on?
Wow.
Oh and someone won
I'm just in time.
GG GAMEKNIGHT even though I have zero layers of context.
good job to gameknight
if you want you can dm me and we can set up a time
ssure
@naive lion Congrats!
i was lowkey happy when tape beat u cuz i didnt think i could beat you again xD
@raven fern @gilded spindle BTW, you guys did a great job hosting! Sounded like a real test of endurance.
Same! I didn't want to go through two best of 5 haha!
gg gameknight, deserved. Thank you for hosting slow and blaze ๐
Jokes aside, tape beat me fair and square so well played!
ye tape surprised us all i think
Tell me about it, dude is meme'ing his way through the tournament and almost winning. I don't think I need a round of testing for the rebalance mod now to determine if rails are in need of a buff haha
very well done to all participants, and congrats on winning GK
well played!
yeah i agree i should have consider using my traps more
I shouldnt have picked something that gets hardcountered
So you shouldn't have picked anything? ๐
Exactly
200iq. can't lose if you don't play!
why didnt i think of that
Your opponent can't destroy your ship if you destroy it yourself first! I just had to clip this
what happened why the name mention
(press alt+f to focus and lock rotation)
Is friendly fire on or smth?
If you target yourself it will friendly fire
Other wise no
Same thing like chopping of your own frontal armor with aimable ions
@gilded spindle @raven fern my pronouns are he/his.
watchin the replay & while i don't usually correct people, tbh i don't really care about pronouns, but i've felt some discomfort when you started to stutter about it during your commentating.
although i do think the "I mean God knows--" by slowking is pretty funny xd
Hmmm
Simply a genius strategy.
Itโs unfortunate that we had to stop on it, though since we were corrected on it before we wanted to get it right
๐ sorry snow
I think its best to just stick with names and not deal with pronouns, it will be abit awkward
yeah
Using they/them is 2nd best choice but sometimes invite unecessary arguing, also abit confusing if your english is garbage
they them is fine if you use it for everyone you don't know too yep
aaaa i do not want to start this again
i don't care say whatever you want but please pick one over the other
(even if arbitrary)
That's true, English is not my mother tongue. I guess it's also the case of many people here. That's why I stick with names because using pronouns is a source of mistakes and don't want offense people.
maybe the solution is putting your pronouns in your name or profile
not the place for this conversation
Oo wow Gameknight rocking that red drip, GGs my man.
this is why i sleep on tournaments
ggk
Do the submissions for the design contest need to be submitted today, or is the 1. of February acceptable too?
Thx!
There will be another one, as they take place frequently. Will surely be announced here.
i should start figuring out orbiters
they seem useful from the tourney im watching on yt
If you want to learn more about them and other PVP archetypes then I highly recommend you check out these links:

Website appears to be down for now, should be up and running soon
Who can create a tournament ? I would like to make a build competition for artistic refineries, in 3 round for 3 ressources (or ressource group), and noted in art and cost efficiency
You have to ask a moderator
okay thanks
@young jacinth are you sure this is even remotely playable?
Find out xD
Its gonna be fun at least
And yes I did test runs
Doing some games against sorail rn
it'll be a very small tournament
I'm playing asteroids rn lmao
boost is going to be literally insane
tas gameplay
oem tournament
speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed tourney
I ||am s||peed
"ah i'll just activate my boost to get closer to the ene-" teleports 5kms into the rod
you'll boost a hole straight through the enemy ship and asteroids
if you hit an asteroid you'd take it with you to the rod
it would be so "funny" if there was collision damage
good lick modding that witout lagging
hits asteroid accidentally
"where is my ship???"
hella funny
i almost typed โlickโ into the gif search but thought better of it
not that bad
Hmm, that reminds me of one certain scene...
i like how the first result is capo
Star trek?
@white apex when
i can probably do phase 2 today
thanks sweetie
Hey slow, did you forget to create a sign-up post or should we use the one from the January tournament?
yep, it'll be reused
veto sound intresting
@gilded spindle how r seeds given
I like this ruleset :3
@gilded spindle question about the weapon veto rule, if someone wants to play a ship with that weapon are they allowed to play it but with that weapon turned off?
yes i love needing to make monoweapon versions of all my ships
the main weapon I'm thinking of is ebs which a lot of ships have
That is a really good point on a specific weapon type.
Also, I am presuming that you specifically have to choose nukes, he, mines, emp rather than just a missile launcher to negate it.
yep, every weapon type is an option and ones that can change like missiles are each individual choices
and if you preload a missile type to negate the ban rule, that's an immediate loss
is it allowed to prelod mines when they're banned, but switch to he immediately
or can u just not use the thpe during the whole match
Ban means in this case to not have them at all
hmmmm
so just save a new one without mines for example
can i ban ions and then just hope that the enemy won't use dc rammers?
i can win this with a railfan! yay
also i assume nre is counted as a bug
actually i'll just use either on kine or luna
luna gets ions veto'd and kine gets dc veto'd
unless luna has a deckcannon rammer that i do not know about
or i can just veto dc and use mines
that also works
I'll ask walt what of the pvp viable bugs will be banned
360 ik is banned but nre i don't remember
Though if you think of NRE in a basic way, it's not a bug
its just shooting nukes at a small target that they'll inevitably miss and shoot out forward
I understand
Are tb and pd bannable or no
all weapons includes them
tb can be argued for, but PD has an attack setting so it is straightup a weapon
i'd count tb as a weapon
tho banning it is kinda worthless
if you fear tb rails just ban rails
sumo
tb is not in a weapon tab though
and pd is in a weapon category
Here's hoping that locking remains. Would be a shame to cut off that path of creativity after it has been allowed for half a dozen tournaments
I felt bad for my opponent who's locking effort messed up twice. Although I almost lost due to horrible piloting.
Yeah that was unfortunate. It was either due to the lag spikes during that match or there was a flaw with the lock as if it works once then it works every time
I'll be editing the document briefly,
it was a flaw in design, they had structure that prevented a lock
any response?
All exploits are on the table, aside from the 360 nuke bug
nice
It had around a 1/48ish chance of failure
i dont understand the reasoning behind this, if a weapon gets banned and you bring it anyways (but turned off) your at a disadvantage, why disallow a disadvantage, if the person uses the weapon in match they loose, just allow then to carry dead weight
I dont see a reason why I should allow a banned weapon in the game
if anything it's an advantage
if you want to use your avoider still when ebs are banned, just make a hl version
The problem is not everyone is gonna want to build a bunch of new ships just in case one of their hybrids' weapons gets banned.
i dont understand why you think its an advantage but alr
Ships like ul nukes can get banned by both pd and nukes, to combat this people are expected to build variations of all of these hybrid type ships
I mean that's a fair way to put it
I think this was polled before in favor of allowing banned weapons if they are turned off
It would just allow more people to use the ships they want without the time investment of ship modifications just for a rule
I suppose that's fair, though should I poll it or rather just set it as such in the rules
i mean im on the side of just adding it but a poll would make sense
For preloaded Weapons I assume you'ld have to fire them when you spawn in?
360 nukes are not allowed? (to have it clear)
No 360 nukes
fire them or change ammo type
i might go through after the tournement and see what weapons are banned the most
my hypothesis is disruptors
I'm thinking either nukes or mines.
reasoning: they are one of the most common weapons, making appearances on many ship types
by banning them you weaken avoiders, 95% of ions, most walls, UL nuke flak
im banning ions but that's just because i plau rails
i lied
If I am matched with you it might just be rails banned.
I dont have pd on my ul nukers
So pip abuse is allowed? xD
Something else to look forward to, in typical fashion we should expect the modular thruster update to drop on the day of the tournament ๐
Bruh, it was just an example of a hybrid ship
I would maybe include a list in the doc?
Just wanted to unnecessarly state my opinion of pd on ul nukers
understandable, have a good day
im rules, the bug rule was changed to be "Exploits are allowed unless deemed to be unsportsmanlike or unfun to watch"
which pip bug is both
Ah ok
Pip exploit โ
Nuke exploit โ
Locking exploit โ
NRE โ
Crew pretask โ
Mine instant arming โ
The last 3 are authorized I imagine?
yep
two are creative solutions to non-problems and the other is just inconsistent
Still disagree with inconsistent lol
Inconsistent if you haven't built it purposefully to do so
I built a mine avoider recently and the timings seemed fairly consistent
And I dont even really have a lot of practice with mines
Only when you're going at full speed I imagine?
I made classic cannon traps in modern but with no armour and speed recently
I mean I have a feeling for how fast they are going to arm
but yea, mines need 120 for arm afaik
Yeah that's one of the ranges of speed where it's possible to do so
slow much?
?
but I guess, my avoider does 115 ish and never arms
it might just have minor sweet spots
whats NRE?
Nuke range extension
ah
That would be very strange. Ill have to test this more
is mine instant arming just go a certain speed?
Thats what I think at least
There are multiple ranges of speed where it's possible to instantly arm them. We know that around 120m/s it's possible and according to Plaus it is as well around 105m/s
I think 75m/s too
alr
Can you reproduce that?
I think I got one to go at 90 smthn once or twice
I remember doing it around that speed a while ago, cant say for sure it's 75m/s. I'd have to check again.
Discovering every possible speed where instantly arming mines is possible shouldn't be difficult. Just time consuming to iterate through let's say 50m/s to 180m/s
I just find it very strange that it would happen at different speeds. I just assumed its a range ~105-120. But i currently have a lot of time so I could actually run the tests in the next few days.
wait mine instant arming is a thing???
yeah, iirc mines arm when their speed is under a certain threshold, so if you cancel out momentum they then stop instantly
ah ok
already knew this with some mine kiter stuff
also im done for in the next tournament lol someone can just ban rails
What if we choose to ban thrusters during the match?
bans huge thrusters
it should be rails banned
what happen if the player only have ship of one weapon and it get banned? it's fairly common in tournaments to have a player with a single ship
do they just get disqualified
can't they just use another ship? if not then they just turn it off and try to not die ig or i just didn't read the rules properly
If you only have one ship for a tournament thatโs meant to bring variety youโre not playing to win
Just have two ships
ah yes they will just turn weapon off
just don't play the ship with the banned weapon
as slowk said make another ship, have some variety
@gilded spindle could you tell me which weapons are banned on the tournament on the 24th?
please be mines
Read the document
The players decide before every match
iirc each player picks a weapon
i have enough time to get good at something other than rails
avoider players are y'all willing to teach me? ๐ฅบ
Of course
@gilded spindle how are seeds determined
Yes :p
i'll start by making 40%-66% weapons avoider
i think i could just attend w/ last tourney's ships
*that i was in
since they were also build for weapon choice
Seeds are based on the excelsior database first, and expectancy to win second
say if 1 paragon, 1 expert and 1 adept signed up, paragon gets seed 1, expert seed 2 and adept seed 3
i see
and if they dont fit into that I'll draw my own judgement
what about people not in excelsior?
They'll be seeded on expectancy to win, basically how I and other hosts see their chances of perfect winning the tourney over others
sooo basically the hosts just eyeballing it
Pretty much, same way it was done in previous tournaments with Saris
First lesson, don't take an avoider 
lmao
avoiders are too fun not to take
i'll take an ultraheavy nuke orbi with me anyways
take all the ships
however i cannot guarantee that i can use them properly
literal avoider pilot going back to the fort college days lmao
nuki if you're serious about wanting to learn avoiders I'm happy to teach you a bit
ok
alrighty (i wasn't really serious but tbh i still kinda wanna learn)
learning avoiders is really hard you better be quite serious lol
but basics arenโt too bad
ok forget about avoiders i've failed to build one so i am going to assume iam going to suck at it, i'll just bring a morbiter or something with me and hope no one bans rails
Well if they known you main rails theyโre going to ban rails
I play exclusively rails,
better diversify before the tournament
Nah, I'm sure it'll be fine
I'll have someone lend me their non rail ship if rails get banned and improvise
can't use other people's ships iirc
If you play me Ill gladly give you an avoider
You can't use other people ships for the 0 drag tournament ?
Yes you cant
Then it's my ship I was just heavily inspired by something I found on exelsior
avoider? ๐
They aren't unplayable
just not as good as usually
It's like driving a supercar with no brakes
I heavily disagree
There are better things but avoiders are decent
The main advantage is that you can face the enemy while slowing down
also low rampup probably is very good
cruisers
Also, low rampup literally means nothing, once you accelerate to certain speed, it won't allow to change direcion any faster
worse, the lack of engine power will literally tacle you
I'm not playing the modded tournament
but what if you need to slow down and face an enemy 90 degree from you?
Was talking about the ragular one with ou
Hmmm
Why the fuck would you want to slow down
Because
Becuase I dont wnat to fly into the rod?
rod ?
ring of death
oh
I can't remember if a straight answer was given for TB regarding whether or not we are considering it as a weapon for the tournament
We didnt. This was the last statement
teaching an archetype that need innovations is hard
thats why i will stick with what i already use
i mean not everyone knows
and then again, rammer users won't ban rails anyways because they counter them
however anyone with ss would ban rails immediately
hey why won't you make a tb rail
i already have some but i mostly forgor about them when i wrote that
thanks for reminding people will ban rails either way
ig time to surrender to ulnuke speed meta...
unless someone bans nukes instead of rails that is
i will live a railfan main and i will die a railfan main
tournament in 8 days!!!
Hmmm
Oh my Gosh thanks you for the reminder ยฐ~ยฐ
I don't think i will partake in it -
- o-or atleast not seriously ><
8 days???? wowza!
It is sooner than that now.
six days
@hard rover
uh oh i forgor about it
wait lemme activate mods
probably should put me later in the list or something
helo
ok then @vocal cloak @hybrid tulip
@flint hound you also signed up just as a reminder
Oops I forgor to sign up on the hyperspeed tourney.
Oh well, not like I had any experience with those mods anyways.
you wanna join?
you still could
@hard rover
No thanks, by the time I turn on the game and then the mods the heat death of the universe will happen.
ok
it's overprice by 800
Ah right
One sec, loading up game
@vocal cloak @hard rover
@vocal cloak
Hmmm
@flint hound @hard rover
what is starmade lol
also this si abit much isnt it plaus
how many self win tourneys at this point?
Plaus proving how good he is at his own game.
lmao
I was plaus close to be a champion
Plaus is another level of brain
I managed to beat him once in a FFA
with point defense ahah
I mean I've beaten him a lot but I'm not as good as him.
Because I am innately not a tryhard I guess.
Next tourney ruleset:
- Plaus
/j
Plaus is banned for being too good at his game.
I didnt edit that setting so I guess youtube choose for me lol
I hid a +1000รท damage modifier that only applies to me in the mod files
watching the vod now
I wish we had tournament highlight lmao
Welp whatever it is it's not canonically a Walternate Realitiesยฎ๏ธ property.
31 minutes in
initial D theme starts playing
no drag good
Yea lmao
Especially when you are playing at 5 fps so you have no idea how fast your ship is actually moving
Then shoot past the enemy, into the rod to never be seen again
I wonder what the module thruster + no drag would do to this universe.
game about making spaceships, idk how youtube managed to confuse it with cosmo since they're sooo different from eachother
tbh the best plays ended up just not moving
because if you start moving at anything faster than 5m/s you'd end up in rod before you can even fire once
speed of light probably
@gilded spindle Does vetoing a weapon apply to both players or just the opponent?
just the opponent
@gilded spindle can we veto tractor beams
can we veto control rooms
they aren't a weapon so no
I do consider them a weapon even if they don't do damage
so that's why i'm asking
if you have none, you cannot deal damage, and weapons deal damage, therefore it is a weapon
I think it's reasonable to ban tb
agreed
The real question is would explosive charges count as a weapon? I hope not for hooks/combind ships. (I think tb is more of a weapon type compared typically with explosive charges.)
You can weaponise reactors and thatโs not bannable
As of now I feel TB are a movement option and not a weapon so for now, not going to be bannable
wait til someone brings a sumo ship
also tb is not under a weapon category
Very bad choice, Air effectively cheesed this decision with three individual specific ship-counters last time we did this.
(Big asterisk, I am not fully aware about this tournament as I've been living in a comfy boulder for last couple months, whatever I'm saying might be completely wrong)
They brought three ships with similar counters and such, and you can do a similar thing with deck cannons and ions
This tournament format is very different. I would always ban rails over tb
Oh so you ban a weapon type over banning a ship and having one weapon type.
Veeery interesting.
Wdym with "and having one weapon type?"
*Per ship
I mean per set.
So like you can't use the same weapon on two ships.
It was a tourney Saris did a couple months ago.
Also wow @young jacinth #tournament-announcements message This is such a phenomenal and fun idea for a tournament, I applaud you.
What is the settings?
forgor to attach rip
I think having a large map with big distance between players would be good, just so they have time to spread out and strategize.
Tahnks for reminding me lol
No worries.
railorbiter ftw
Acutally yea Im gonna change that. good idea
time to break relationships with uls and shit :D
i'll bring bad internet to make sure i control the pacing (lmao just joking around 8 players guaranteed bad internet anyways)
Nuki, pst, do we secretly tea up
to the dms
||๐ต||
๐ต
Tea up xd
tea parties create teams
I'm joking obviously, the fun of this kind of tournament is mind games on the spot, instead of pre-planning.
hehe backstabby tournament go brr
8 railfan orbiters in a lobby, this will be chaotic
lmao
easy sora win time /j
imo people will bring railfans, rail spinners and msf
they will also bring tbr and ships that are better with help
wish i could join but its a bit early for me to not be half asleep lol
@hazy root pwo
wrong channel plaus but sure ig
I think this is the kind of tournament were redundancy of sides and back armor might genuinely be invaluable.
i can deal with the politics
im barely holding myself from dumping all my possible strategies pregame here
You only need 1 though?
I dont think sorail would play the railspinner with squib
Yeah it can be very tempting to share your smart ideas and mind games, but... The issue is it ruins those ideas in of itself as suddently everyone can use them and the playing field becomes both more unpredictable yet more predictable at the same time to its detriment (Fancy way of saying your strategy loses surprise element and thus power). It's like dissecting a frog, you share its ins and outs but you kill it in the process.
pretty much why i am holding myself from it
all the strats are soooo coool and interesting i love this tournament
Yes kine we need more people like you.
Tomfoolery is the best form of trickery and mind games.
anyway
since this is a plaus torney
we make sure he wins yea?
so we can continue the streak
of him rigging games
(Let's all team up against him just so he doesn't get to win again, this is getting out of hand)
Picks reactors pikes, choose to screw one player in particular. Mission accomplished
i was thinking just being super annoying and stall but that works too
Bring an UL minelayer and spam mines in the center ๐
i was thinking of a literal 1.5m block of armor with a CR and SR
Would work so much better if mines had 8 minute lifetime as it used to
back in my day ๐ง
Oh you're evil. Whoever tries to kill you is serving themselves up to other players
I made a minelayer that can fire for 12 mins straight, should work pretty well!
Whoever tries to kill you will be a huge backstabbing potential.
Ohhh I have fac-based TB minelayer but it's unfinished.
like all the ideaas in my head currently is either some stall strat or just a fuck you in particular build lol
Well just see 150m/s rail orbiters
according to qawa it is 1080p railfan
high damage railfan, just a typically shieldless railfan designed for maximum damage and rail length
cries in avoider counter
avoiders when i can oneshot even when they spread all the damage
,_,
What the hell is instant mine arming? Is it the thing with targeting mines to structure?
Launch mines at the same speed your ship is going so they instantly stop in place
Which arms them
:p
why woudl that be considered an exploit lol
that is like saying momentum boosting missiles so their trajectory changes is an exploit
Thereโs not a lot of counterplay
So it's just the going back quickly thing.
Momentum manipulation shouldn't even count as an exploit, it's literally just nukeflinging for mines.
could change mine behavior to time instead of speed but that has other issues
i would decrease the speed margin from 100ยฑ30 to 100ยฑ10
maybe ยฑ5
having funny thoughts about building a small laser avoider in case someone bans hl
do it
quick clarification question, do weapon bans happen before or after ship selection? seems to me like before but iโm not 100% sure
because a ban after could just be crippling lmao
i meannnnnnn they'd ban disrupters soooo that's something
imo banning disrupters is better than banning hls
hlspam
if i could ban thrusters i'd just ban your ers and see what happens
if i ban something i myself cant use it right?
nope
ohhh it applies to both?
idk
if you ban it only your opponent wouldn't be able to use it
@gilded spindle how does this work? if i ban something is it for both sides or only enemy?
slowk clarified earlier iirc
hehe, i wanna play but just havenโt built stuff for it yet
i can't participate either way so idk
would feel good to ban shit like eb lol
:/
i sleep at 10pm due to school (weekends being thursday and friday are an exception)
Wanna strategize a bit for fun lol
totally not worried about getting crucial things banned and needing a backup
@gilded spindle question regarding launchers - if my opponent bans something like mines that i have in my missile launchers, but i have nuke parts to reload, is it acceptable to simply switch the launcher type and leave the mine parts in space?
You can do that as long as the banned weapon is never used
before
after would be crazy lol
after would be hilarious
imagine i pick a morbi against a cg main right
they ban missiles, i ban cgs
tf even happens
rod
tru
tournament tomorrow!!!
aaa right
oh my gosh i keep forgetting
yes
Wish I could sign up but my friend had to invite me to his birthday party ๐
more fun than getting counterpicked
i wish allow ship construction was on
I am ready to have fun being defeated.
it's still in serval hours
๐ฌ gl to all participants
it's still in serval hours
why would i join lol i'm trash rn
did i ever said you should join?!!
someone ping me 1 hour before the tournament so that i can see if i can join with my current arsenal, i wanna do something really funny this tournament
im bringing a fanged fighter this tournament
i'll build a version for every weapon so that no one can possibly stop me
ik im losing but if i win by some miracle that would be soooo funny
@gilded spindle please put me late in the bracket if possible
felt it was implied
I implied I still had time to sign up for context
mh fair
I'm gonna ping you an hour before sign ups close fyi, so in about 2.5 hours
Honestly a bit disappointed in myself that I'm not participating.
just participate
aww that sucks
Hey Nick hope someday you will get back the hype. I would really appreciate to see you again in a turney.
Seeing ships that only you build and play is always refreshing
I absolutely hate it when people irl try to schedule things right on top of things iโve already put on my calendar
i might have to withdraw again but hopefully not
at the tournament's time i have to play terraria multiplayer with kokice and slime, finish ftl ship and sleep
maybe i can make it though
youโre not :(
but i understand not feeling up to your standards
Beating yourself about rust wonโt help you derust
And besides, youโre losing nothing at all by joining aside a little time and itโs mainly for fun
Sweating profusely and trying to win is a close second though
and that's why i am playing with a fanged fighter
ik i can't win because people would just ban rails for me so that i don't use my best ships so i am going full meme material
i'll end up in a blaze short
Thanks. Your kind words almost make up for all the rage when I get beaten by a TB ion LOL
Go make a broadside for the memes
oh yeah sleep is a thing
can't really afford to lose that anymore
TLDR just sleep for 10 minutes today
Air issue.
But realistically health is more important than cosmoteer
@gilded spindle Concerning futur tournaments; how unflexible the deadline is? Like, assuming i can only arrive after 19:30 can i still sign up
Start a game of checkers with your enemy :D
lmao
If you miss your match you automatically lose, Iโll give three minutes to join
No really, if you're going full on fanged figther might as well try that.
Well you should be asleep right now
if rod wasn't real that would be sooo good
Get them to play a game before they murder you, if you manage to do a full or even partial game of checkers at least one round you'll be my hero.
Bring fanged fighter too just in case.
i have 2 rounds i can try this
Also credit me for the board.
how much does it cost?
700K or something.
But if someone asked and is placed late in the bracket, is that allowed? Plaus did it earlier
Cheap
fanged fighter as the executor
He'll be the judge/referee of the game.
I wish I'd gotten a full chessboard running before the tournament, we could've done a full on chess tournament parody MID-TOURNAMENT
''And here comes the most fascinating part of this game folks, It's white to play, Nuki has both his queen and bishop pinned by Gameknight's... Knight, what will he do to avoid this perilous situation... And, in a magnifiscent twist of events, Nuki sacrifices THE ROOK!!!!!''
And are client mods allowed
blaster kite gaming this tourney
They are, we have no way of verifying whether or not players are using them anyway
Good point.
Well I know which chess streamer you follow at this point.
thats allowed but there's only so much lower bracket
Nah I don't watch Gotham that much, I've just seen a couple of his videos and that line is engraved in my memory.
@hard rover its about an hour before the tournament, i reccomend if you want to sign up that you do it soon
The only reason i even can join this is because i slept very early
hmmm
hmmm
hmmm
:D
Question about the ban, I think already answered, but to be sure. When you ban a weapon, it's only for the opponent right ? So if I ban nukes, I will be able to use Nukes ? I prefer to be sure ๐
you could still use nukes
if you ban a weapon your opponent cannot use it but you can
yes
given its almost 15 minutes till the tourney starts i want to wish everyone good luck <3
ill be calming my nerves meanwhile
same
Shuffled seeds, will tell you once I do it
hi
im excited!
im going to play checkers!!
there is some probability i'm gonna get randomly ripped out of the tourney but hopefully i go out before that happens
if rails don't get banned i'll play a railfan once
epic stream thumbnail
Alright, games starting
@gilded spindle May I advice you keep all the announcements and discussions in this chat instead of the Tourney Announcements? It'd do good in both making this chat more alive and won't absolutley clog up #tournament-announcements
Mistakes were made, redoing plaus
Like seriously, when I try to find a past event like the DC announcements I have to trudge through 500 pages of Slowking text.
is the bracket changing?
Okay, fixed
@fast oracle
Thanks
bruh im vs gk again ๐
Heheheheh good luck.
Now at least somebody knows how it felt when I got to face against Salephz as the first round in my first tourney :agony:
She may be finishing up a game in a room.
Luna automatically loses at :04
nice
well that is fair (referring to blaze in stream)
just a little boring that im facing the same player again
i dont mind though haha
gl!
Who bans first?
High seed bans first
oh im 8th seed, nice
Thanks
@granite river nooooo
aaaa
why are we against each other
oh god
well i know exactly what sno is going to ban lol
Do you?
maybe
rails? :3
ggs for luna
@short tartan @sterile flame
how were seeds even chosen lmao
i'm sure no one will ban rails unless they're fighting me
i'm 100% banning rails against you
how come an adept above an expert
Wait higher seed is lower number?
damm it
unlucky
@short tartan Ya lose against an AI
Really unlucky of you
Context: that a sarcastic joke in reference to the AI tournament hosted a while back
That's what this ship was based on.
starmade returns

lol
don't worry i won't use my kites
awww rift
ban mines :3
well that game went perfectly
oof
ouch
yeah
@hazy root vs @hard rover
in my head i was thinking ban rails
omw
but to be cautious i decided to ban mines
mines were a good call
i didn't think gk would bring the same ship as last game
but rails prob better
after be banned nukes i was kinda scrambling
rip coco
oh well
approaching his ship like that was a fatal mistake
i should have tried to orbit
PFFFFT
LMAO
this is the greatest tournament pick of all time
agreed
lmao
based nuki
this is amazing
rule ammendment for now, building up
YEAHHHH
hell yes
disco paint job wooooooo
i did NOT expect to see checkers today
agreed
Good thing I'm not fighting Nuki,I don't know how to play checkers,just chess.
only if night agrees
Tune in for some epic competitive gameplay!
One could argue night can easily kill nuki right before he lose
true
ooof
aw
I guess this is a way of balancing GK really fast match :agony:
lol
You're missing checkers gameplay rn
this is real gameplay
it should be alright
alr
blaze is just not talking as of rn
i can hear you 2
thank rod lol
thanks gosh
that was too funny but too long haha
@hard rover can i challenge you to checkers later in a casual lobby lol
@rain loom
bit went on for too long lol
the disconnect was a shame lol
i couldnt really ff ๐
well you could just kill him
@surreal pecan i've done it
sure
But missiles are not allowed on checkers
you can always just choose flip table or in this case blow up table command center
@gilded spindle could you turn music down to low after this match?

One of the most common mistakes that inexperienced chess players make is accepting the Queenโs Gambit. Unbeknownst to them, this is a fatal mistake that exposes them to dangers such as nuclear warheads and supersonic interceptor aircraft ...
crap, that's chess not checkers lol
get the icbm video for chess
blaze is playing very defensivly, nice to see
