Brennq Posted September 1, 2003 Posted September 1, 2003 Navaros, since you must witness our battles, what's your WOL nick? (Probably navaros, right?) ;DI think he uses cyrenius
sendakon Posted September 2, 2003 Posted September 2, 2003 NAV its important that u answer weather u r joining the tourney!!!!!!!!!
Navaros Posted September 2, 2003 Author Posted September 2, 2003 sendakon the reason i didn't answer you the first is because your question has already been answered at-length on the first page of this thread. i suggest you go read all that before you participate in this Tourney because that's how it is and you're gonna wanna be sure you agree with all that before you play.
Kyle Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 Navaros and Atomic Mitten, I think i'll be able to play our match on Friday night EST. Is that ok for you guys? If it's not what time is good for you guys? Oh and just an idea, since we have fourteen people, there'll only be 7 people in the second round. It might be good for you, Navaros, to join the tournament then, to even out the numbers. (Just a suggestion ;D )
sendakon Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 I think and im sure everyone else thinks the same that if u get to sit there and watch everyones matches u know all of our strats and tactics at the end it would not b fair for u to say i get to play the winner after he wonthe tourney that is like play who wants to b a millionare and know all the answers and i know that u r a fair player right so for u to chalange the winner is wrong! OH i talked to zilents yesterday and he said he is reinstalling his copy of emp and kicking everyones asssss lol j/k but hes back for a few games so if u want him in the tourny u should add him.
Navaros Posted September 3, 2003 Author Posted September 3, 2003 I think and im sure everyone else thinks the same that if u get to sit there and watch everyones matches u know all of our strats and tactics at the end it would not b fair for u to say i get to play the winner after he wonthe tourney that is like play who wants to b a millionare and know all the answers and i know that u r a fair player right so for u to chalange the winner is wrong! under normal circumstances, i would tend to agree with all of this. however, since i have real-world experience on WOL, i know that WOL is full of conniving slithering snakes. many of these snakes are quite literally obsessed with me.they often come into my games under their many multinicks - like cowards - and play in my games where they know they are not welcome. they know who i am, yet i do not now who they are. they use the exscuse "you would kick me if i came in with my real nick". which is correct. but the more disturbing question is: *WHY* are these snakes so *OBSESSED* with playing in my games? one answer is because they want to learn all my strats and tactics. without letting me know who they are, of course; and then come on this board and say "Hey Nav come play me 1vs1!" under the premise that they know my style before the game even begins, yet i do not know theirs. part of my motivation while i designed the Rules of this Tourney was to strike back against these Nav-obsessed snakes. unfortunately, since i was up-front and honest about everything *i* was going to do - much unlike them - most of these snakes were too cowardly to enter my Tournament. they knew that if they did so, i would be on an even-playing field with them since they have came to spy on me and steal my strats in such a cowardly and dishonorable way. coming from anyone else, sendakon, i may have put more weight to your comments. but since you in particular are the one who has brought it up, and you yourself have admitted to me on WOL that you are guilty of entering my games under multinicks to hide your identity, then i do not see fit that any Rules should be changed based on your comments.
sendakon Posted September 3, 2003 Posted September 3, 2003 Nav im not trying to cause any probs with ya just sayin what a few ppl thought, it is also a game of suprise and tactis its fine with me if u watch and then play at the end i dont care some wont enter the comp because of that fact its up to u.
Navaros Posted September 3, 2003 Author Posted September 3, 2003 Nav im not trying to cause any probs with ya just sayin what a few ppl thought, it is also a game of suprise and tactis its fine with me if u watch and then play at the end i dont care some wont enter the comp because of that fact its up to u.you are not causing problems, you asked a good question and as i said, under normal circumstances - if all WOL players were honorable - you'd be totally right with your analysisyou are right that many people will not enter this Tourney due to my observing Rules. some for the legit reason that it's not fair i get to watch them and they haven't watched me; but *most* of the people who have stayed away due to that Rule are in fact the cowardly snakes who spy on me and who can not stand that thought of having me be on an even playing field with them. to that i say - good riddance to them! what we have left in this Tourney is mostly real men of fortitude instead of cowardly snakes - and that is ok by me. i would like to pat everyone on the back who has entered this Tourney despite all the Rules. that takes courage and sportsmanship - so i commend you guys. you are the "real men" of the Emperor Community.to atomic & kyle: yes, that time should work for me
Atomic Mitten Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 Re Game with Kyle Friday night EST ?up to now Kyle has not answered my Mail to him.What time is EST compared to GMT ?I need to know this because of the time difference.
Atomic Mitten Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 Just a thought, having just tried to play an online game of EMP and getting the blue connecting screen, it once again locked up my Computer.If this is going to keep on, how are we going to play the tournament ???It happened last night too, out of 6 games it only managed to connect once ??? >:(
Kyle Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 I think Timenn is right-so if I were to go on at 6:00, it would be 11:00 for you, Atomic. I know it's either 4 or 5 hours, I'm not sure which, though. How late can you be up until? Cause i might not be able to get on until after 7. You might want to meet me on the site(fed2k) first and then we'll go have our match. I'll try to get on as early as i can so that it's not too late for you. If you can't do it tomorrow night(friday night), then we should be able to do it sometime this weekend.
Atomic Mitten Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 ok kyle, I can meet you on wol, and wait for u.If there is a problem on the wol server, maybe we could meet on Olaf van der spek 's server ?Please let me know what you think.
d3m0nger Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 ''Ap01ly0n vs. D3M0NGER''Alright, Ap01ly0n, IM me.. I already IM'ed you but you didn't respond.My time is +1 GMT
Apollyon Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 Yep, been on holiday. Every game I play on WOL never works ever. Unless it begins to work I guess I'm out.
Navaros Posted September 6, 2003 Author Posted September 6, 2003 yesterday i tried to have the caid vs. newt match and also later on, the kyle vs. atomic match, and none of the games were able to start thx to WOL being ruined at the moment :(i was thinking about maybe moving this Tourney to Olaf's server...? what do you guys think about that? i don't know how long WOL is gonna stay screwed-up for (maybe it'll be fixed tomorrow, maybe never...)... what do you guys think we should do?
Apollyon Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Well that's all very well but some people, warskum for one, report the same thing happening on Olaf's server as well.
Navaros Posted September 6, 2003 Author Posted September 6, 2003 what a horrible way for WOL to go down. you'd think EA would at least give it the dignity of pulling the plug all at once. wait, this is EA we're talking about, what am i thinking...
Atomic Mitten Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 According to Olaf, who just mailed me, his server should be back up today.He didn't specify a time though, so I Guess I'll keep on trying until it works. ;)
atrd3m0n Posted September 12, 2003 Posted September 12, 2003 Sup @ll here's doomy again... :OI just read the topic and man what a bunch of totally weird rules (nothing weird considering its Nag that organizes the tourny :P) And whats that about you fighting the last remaining contestant of the tourny..? Why not play from the start? I havent been on in ages and since most of the good players and lots of my friends have left this awesome game, either to do more interesting stuff or moving on to generals, I havent been eager to play aswell. Its so funny to see you stirr your mouth now most of the players that are better then u FOR SURE are gone. It's like joining the fight when the battle is already over..Anyways I still dont get why, if u would set up a tourny, you cant apply NORMAL rules to it.
Jack Leaf Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 I don't know anything about Emperor multiplayergaming system, because I don't have chance to play it online. ... but it isn't very hard to find out, that WOL is wrecked.Can you play Emperor via IP addresses? Or will it reguire WOL, too? These IP games may save this tournament.
rigel6669 Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 You can play games without WOL by faking a lan game with the battlelan program. ( see emperor essentials thread )
Navaros Posted September 26, 2003 Author Posted September 26, 2003 ok everyone this Tourney is rolling on to cbrick & dard3th: there have been reports of you two ducking each other prior to the downfall of WOL. let's have none of thatto everyone else, re-schedule your matches please
