The Training Grounds is a community-based PvP tournament. Each week, players will be given opportunities to hone their homicidal tactics in a variety of round-based settings. Fort Silence will be a mock town to house the first of (hopefully) many Training Ground events to come.
Various info:
-Registration will open on the day before each event in a dedicated thread
-Registered members receive priority over walk-ons in the event that max player size is met.
-Only characters made specifically for these events can participate. **Everyone should start on a similar playing field** Characters will be verified upon the start of each round. Characters that survive upon the completion of a training day and/or round will be saved/verified and can be used at the start of the tournament/round.
-Leveling Training Grounds characters outside of tournament rounds is strictly prohibited (and shouldn't be possible if the verification methodology is on par)
-Outside weapons/tools is strictly prohibited. Smugglers will be banned indefinitely from all future events (because F*** cheaters)
-weapon/ammo crates will be dispersed based on game settings.
-Accrued rank system for various stats including: kills, rounds won, rounds survived
-Winner (points-based) of prior training day has dibs on Captain. Other captain(s) can then be decided by community vote or RNG.
-Captain Draft Pick: players are selected one at a time starting with Captain 1 (past winner of tourney/round)
-Participants must abide by tourney naming conventions.
-Prizes TBD. Incentives are implicit: get better at killing and teamwork in a conducive and fast-paced environment.
Suggested Game Settings:
-FFA
-Team Death Match
-Capture the Flag
Other:
-We have a location selected to serve as the grounds, but require the aid of those willing to plan and then build the mock town.
-Dedicated admin host would be preferable, to both run the tourney round-by-round as well as verify avatars (we will go over the verification methodology later but it's going to most likely be SS unless there are built-in admin checks that could facilitate such endeavors).
This is a discussion-based thread and I will be editing details as they get mapped out. Will inquire if this tournament can get its own sub-forum for poll and registration-based threads. Thanks for reading and I look forward to any and all ideas! Peace.
