: Tulsa/Jenks - Monthly Tournament - 3/11/07 - Vote for Games here!
: X_A February 12, 2007, 12:17:45 PM

Voting over - almost.  Help finish that up here - http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=293.msg3263#new
Voting on Smash Melee Entry Fee's - Open for 16 days - http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=291.0

Actual Tournament thread Here (http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=294.0).
--

How this works -
We throw a monthly event to get the word out about OKgamers.com - in the process we allow the gamers themselves determine what we host a tournament for: by voting, and providing the hardware to play the games they vote in.  Please don't vote for something you wouldn't want to play in. 

3 votes - for 3 different games.  DO NOT vote for the same game, different format [like 2v2 and 4v4 in Halo].  However yes, you can vote for Halo 1 and 2, SSBM and SSB64.

You have 16 days to vote - GET TO VOTING! 

As usual, we will do our best to have the top 3 or more games at the next monthly tournament.  This depends on you the gamers voting them in, and letting us know how much hardware will be there through the pre-registration offered after voting ends.

--
Guitar Hero 2 and Madden are not an option this month due to the upcoming local tournaments.  No need to compete ;)  Same thing for Magic, and WoW the card game, see tournament forums.
--

Halo - is practically a given.  We'll take the top voted for format and go with it.  However, nothing is assured though, and as usual any game with the most votes, or at least close to 10 votes will get in. 

Not on the list?  Three requests for a game not listed will get it added to the poll.  [**Why would a game not be listed?  We haven't seen / thrown a tournament for it.  If you can get the neccessary hardware between you and those you know to pull it off?  We'll happily run it as a addition tournament to our best abilities.  Gears of War falls under this - 'pulling it off' would require AT LEAST 3 to 4 Xbox 360's, and at least 2 to 3 full sets of controllers for example.**]

How many votes do you need for a game to win?  The top 3 need to have at least 10 votes or a clear interest and turnout at a previous tournament - any less would put the need for a tournament for that game into question.  We don't want to waste a spot on a game that won't have anyone show up to play it.  Also, for a new game / game we haven't played at a monthly before, we REQUIRE 2 to 3 setups [game/console/controllers/tv] assured to be there.

What if there's a TIE?!  Then we'll let pre-registration hardware pledges determine what gets played.  So, if game A and B tie, and there are 2 setups for game A promised to be brought, and 3 setups for game B promised by the time pre-registration closes?  We'll play game B.  In that event, simply check the tournament thread after the registration closes to see what is played.  If people promise hardware and don't show up with it?  The game may be temporarily banned from monthly voting - we won't throw events and then not have the hardware to satisify people coming.

NO SPECIAL TREATMENT is given to the games we vote on.  You want to play a game?  You get it on the poll by requesting it, having you and your friends that play it vote for it, then if asked, helping to provide the neccessary hardware to run a tournament.  Pure and simple. 

WHY would a game get played even though it wasn't voted for?  We had the hardware, space and manpower to run it beyond the 3 game slots we offer.  For example Initial D is an option for March, because it'll be sponsored / ran by a local club, and the game is at the venue we have the Monthly tournaments at.

**Remember - with trying to get a 'new' game into the circle, aka a game we've not played at a monthly event, be prepared to bring your hardware, as it's a real concern.  We ask for at least 2 or 3 setups [game/console/controllers/tv] to be provided with a game, so that a tournament can be ran smoothly.  With games we've played it's usually not a problem, but it's important to note, we rely on the goodwill of gamers locally to provide the hardware for the games they want to play - we just provide a venue and structure to the event, all in a effort to let people know OKgamers.com exists, to use it, and to tell others so we get outta the event stone age, and use the internet to know about local events.  Aka, we don't have all the hardware to support all these game types - if you get something new voted in - be prepared for the rules to state you need to bring a setup!

 I really don't like the idea of having SSB64, SSBM, Halo, and Halo 2 taking up all the game slots in a tournament.  If we're going to do that, let those take the same TV/console setups and let's leave room for at least one different title.

I think we're really limiting Saif's efforts and the full potential of this site if we keep catering to the same group of kids. 

Personally, I'd love to see different kids out each month. Maybe we should make an effort to be as diverse as possible so we can get the word out to different groups. As a result, more people might throw their own tournaments around town and we will all benefit from that.

You make a very good point...  And it's a concern I've had heh.  ALSO - what halo players are about to do to this is - if they vote in both halo 1 and 2?  We'll have to make both single elim - I mean come on, we BARELY get enough hardware to make one Halo tournament go within the rules there lol, make TWO Halo events win, and that just spells SINGLE ELIMATION CITY lol.

At the same time - I do like the democratic way we've been doing this.  Nothing to blame anyone for - if it wins - it wins.  Last time with Melee running in there, we saw alot of new faces.  Sure, I wanted to KILL a few Melee players - because they were sooo rude and sooo inconsiderate of what they had even walked into - but beyond that, it showed that - throw another game - and one way or another, they'll find out.

I think we should talk about this at the tourny - maybe 'rig the voting' so to speak.  Sure - have halo.  But then - all agree to vote for - mario kart next time?  Maybe a SF tournament after that?  Basically use the 3rd spot / vote to be something interesting / new.  That leaves 1 slot for Halo, and 1 slot for whatever gets voted in by true interest - this rate it seems to be either halo1 / melee...  An idea at least.

Micah has a point.

I like your suggestions, X A, I think it's a great idea and can help give the other games some light under the sun. I'd like to see some more traditional fighters every once in a while, or maybe even some Armored Core (I love this series!). It's a shame that this upcoming monthly is on the 11th though, I won't be attending due to EvoSouth :(

That's the point I'm trying to make.  I understand I haven't been to many tournaments, but Melee did bring new players.  Last week, you told me that was the first Melee tournament you've ever done.  Personally, I think it went very well and it got word out to a new group of kids.

Looking at pictures from previous tournaments, it seems to be the same group of kids month after month.  It's time to make an effort and expand on that solid following.

Saif, you're right.  If you throw another game in, and give it a little time and promotion, it will find the right crowd.  I'm not particularly a Naruto fan, but I've heard people talking about it on this site, and I have little doubt that the huge following it has will make an effort to spread word about a Naruto tournament.  Anyone agree?  Who cares if there are only 6 people there to play that weekend?  If those 6 kids start telling friends, and then their friends tell friends, this community will grow exponentially.  This community seems flexible and stable enough to be able to accommodate this kind of risk, especially if there are a few staple games for other people.

If this site stays so stagnant, like it has the past few months, people are going to lose interest and this whole endeavor will likely fail. :(

At first, I was hesitant to tell some of my friends about this site because they generally only play fighters and shooters.  I didn't see much going on here to cater to them, so I didn't think they would get much out of it.  However, I have told them, and we all want to make an effort to become more diverse.

Your idea might work.  We should definitely talk about this as a group on the 11th.  I think it would be a very good idea to leave at least one slot open for something new each month.

Vegafuse, I think Armored Core or any 2-D fighter would be a lot of fun.  I even think it'd be a lot of fun to have a couple score-based tournaments.  Maybe even a Galaga tourney on the Fun House cabinet? Something to that extent? That shouldn't be too difficult to organize during everything else, too.

I think a Street Fighter 3, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, or Guilty Gear tournament would also be fun. Here's to hoping.  :-\

Consider these thoughts and please share your own.

I'm one of those friends Micah was talking about. I've been visiting this forum for a bit, never bothering to sign-up or post because there was nothing I was interested in. I feel a little diversity would help out alot.

I have a some friends who would love to join some fighter tourneys but don't have any to go to. I'm positive I could get a minimum of 6 people to a GGX tourney. No doubt.

I would love to join a game but none I like have garnished more than a vote or two.

I'll keep voting in hopes that things will change.

: Coolsvilla February 16, 2007, 01:48:28 AM
I totally agree. On of the reasons I wasn't in a rush to get involved was because of the limited selection of games that were played in tournaments. I'm not as avid a Halo 2 player as I once was and I'm pretty sure you guys are at the top of your game, so it's a little intimidating to go play with you guys. I think that trying to get at least one new game every time would be cool and definitely get more people involved. Plus, it would get the existing players to branch out a bit and play new thing.
A variety of games would definitely be cool. It'll give everyone a chance to play. :D
: Re: Tulsa/Jenks - Monthly Tournament - 3/11/07 - Vote for Games here!

: Pinkie February 18, 2007, 08:54:07 PM
I like saifs idea. Let's give two spots to regular voting, Halo is a given I guess, but lets rotate the 3rd game to bring in new people. Deffinately something to think about. Another thing about Halo...I think it should be either 1 or 2 and not both. Honestly...both is just kinda stupid. At this tournament I think it should just be Halo 1 then whatever else gets voted in. Need to mix it up a bit on the Halo scene too.

Yeah, Halo CE and Halo 2 would be kinda pointless.

AND, isn't the point of these tourneys to promote OkGamers and not just the Halo fanbase in Oklahoma?

So, if we had just a poll for all the different Halos, then another for the other games, then it would provide a better view the main games wanting to be played, and not just everyone spliting their votes on the different Halo games/gametypes.

Well - and we can just go with what Pinkie is saying -

HALO - get's one spot.  So - if halo 1 wins, halo 1 wins over 2.  Not both 1 and 2 - thank GOD btw lool.

The other 2 spots - go to what's voted on.

I'll add MvC2 and Gears of War - but eggroll - your bringign at least half the hardware that's needed then lool - and WE WILL NEED HARDWARE IF ONE OF THESE GET VOTED IN!  Cause I sure don't have a 360, and I don't even konw what MvC2 is played on!@#

Well, first you might wanna get the back-up for the voting on it (GOW), cause right now you don't have a lot of votes.Then we worry bout the setups. No need to worry bout if there's gonna be enough setups til the time comes when we'll need them to play.

Well, the problem with the voting is that we discussed different ideas after most people voted (like the Halo 1 and 2 problem) and options were added afterwards. It's not a particularly accurate vote since these things happened. >_>

SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO GET BACK HERE@!#  Lousy halo tournaments :-P

MvC2 has traditionally been played either on arcade or Dreamcast.

XA, is SC3:AE version A or B?  And what kind of sticks are on the machine?

SUP!  Uhhh...  Crap there are versions?!@#  lol
We are sure it's updated - so we are pretty sure it's B
Standard HAP american controllers.  They are maintained, as the owner cares about SC, etc.

Original G - The CompUSA tournament was a Halo tournament.  This - is a monthly tournament thrown to get the word out about the site - we just allow whatever people vote in and bring hardware for - to be played.  We'll structure and promote the event - you say what you want to play, and bring hardware - top 3 games voted in get played. 

VOTES - I can't change the poll - no editing is allowed once it starts beyond adding a option.  SO - because I'm not going to RESTART the vote, I'll just say this - if you voted for Not Listed - PLEASE STATE WHAT YOU VOTED FOR - and we'll adjust the count at the end / as people have stated.

Halo - remember we do 1 or 2 - not both as discussed earlier in the thread.  [Annoyed?  Remember, all I have to go by is your feedback ON THE THREADS, if you keep silent / don't post your feelings, all I have to go by is what others have said.]

Melee - and maybe GoW - will win at this rate.  IF THAT IS THE CASE -

Melee - I'll probably start at 830pm due to a request of players.

GoW - will then have to start around 6pm?  I'm honestly not sure HOW long it'll take / rules / anything. SO!@#

MELEE AND GOW fans - I've got MLG rules on Melee - but nothing on GoW - BE PREPARED TO SUBMIT THOSE AS SOON AS WE KNOW THEY HAVE WON!  [if they get outvoted somehow/all the notlisted aren't for GoW - etc, k, but doubtful.]

MELEE / GOW - WE MUST HAVE HARDWARE BROUGHT!@#  I have niether console...  So - you guys - we'll need AT LEAST 2+ SETUPS pre-registered by the night before the tournament, else we reserve the right to cancel the game.  SO - please pre-register and bring hardware so we can have a successful / smooth running tournament.

Melee - GO VOTE ON COST.

Hey um, I would LOVE to have a Halo 1 2v2 instead of 4v4. The 4v4 is hard enough to get a good turnout and with halo 1 it would be very difficult to get a team of four. So I'm voting for a halo 1 2v2 because thats how the game is ment to be played.

Speaking of hardware we have 3 copys of halo 1 between me, blawblaw, and smiley. 2v2 is usually played on split-screen so that would cut down on the hassle of EVERYONE needing to bring a TV. If 3 more people can bring a copy of halo 1 we can get 3 stations of 2v2 going which will go by fast. Now as much as I talk about halo 1 I'm not that good at it... I just like to make it seem like I'm amazing so when I get farted on in the game I can say I was'nt trying  ;D So ya, anyone looking to have MAD FUN should sign up and vote for halo1 2v2.

: Sparkz February 27, 2007, 10:45:09 PM
Hey whoever is in charge of the Poll can you change the votes to 2v2? Like just count all the votes for the 4v4 and put it towards the 2v2... um, our team wont be competing in the Halo 2 portion of the next monthly tournament. So it's up for grabs. Good luck guys.

On another note I dont think there should be a pot in the Halo 1 part of the tournament. We should just play to have fun like they did in the old days. Anyone who hasnt played Halo 1 should know that it is by far the most fun FPS on console. Just play it at the funhouse and you'll be amazed.

Re pole - no.  Sorry, but people voted for 4v4, I'm not ignoring their votes off and counting them towards something else.

What I WILL do - is post "Halo 1 Teams" assuming it wins, and make it clear that if 100% of the people that show up agree to play 2v2 instead of 4v4, we'll do it. 

Also - REMEMBER - no halo 1 & halo 2 - if 1 wins, it'll be halo 1, melee, and something else - maybe GoW at this rate, dunno.  All depends on - Votes - and Hardware pledged to come in the pre-registration thread once it's up.

AND - we don't actually do pots for the first time a game gets voted in...  So - Halo 1 without a pot - shouldn't be a issue.  I won't count it as h2 rules/pot - because it is different, etc.

PRE-REGISTRATION - that thread starts once voting is over, so just watch for it after this finishes.

Halo 1 players - if it gets voted in, we'll need rules too btw.

VOTE OVER -

Looks like - Halo 1 / SSBM / and GoW? won...

Halo 1 - WE NEED RULES - help me out.  I'll also need to post about the whole '4v4 vs 2v2' thing....

SSBM - Got official rules in this same forum - go check em out - will be linking to them as soon as this is all finalized.

Re - GoW - HI - So - I've got 2 that voted directly, and a total of 6 'not listed' votes - of those - I count -

pinkie - gow 2v2
coolsvilla - gears
Eggroll - gow
lonewolf - gow

Making a total of 6 - which wins...  Except if I got the count wrong / they didn't actually vote 'not listed' for GoW.

SO - We'll wait 48 hours to allow them to see this post / adjust their statements in posts.  I'll pm them too lol.  If any of the 4 didn't vote - then we'll have a tie between GoW and GGXX - if more than 1 didn't vote for GoW - then GGXX will win.  We'll see in 2 days.

AFTER THAT - I'll update the main tournament thread, and then get a pre-registration thread together.

HALO / SMASH PLAYERS - review what I said above. 

NEW!~@# - We are planning on having a test 'monthly meeting' right before our monthly tournament - to help get staff / people looking to help out - in the loop.  Go check that out here (http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=353.0).

My not listed was for Dead or Alive 4.  :'(

uh...  Yea.  Except.  I just checked SSBM $$ vote - with 8 votes - no charge wins.  So - with Halo 1 being a new game as I mentioned earlier - there will be no pot.  And SSBM - the players choose - no pot.  And GoW/GGXX/whatever wins 3rd - falls under the "first time we've played it" rule like halo 1 - so...  No pot.

Sure - I'll be trying to get prizes / etc from sponsors as always - but yea.  EZ money?  lol

i think we should do the same as the CompUsa tourny.

Then add a Halo 1 4v4 sunday?.... make a 2 day tourny.

we could have H2, FFA (Single Elim.), 2v2 (Single/double elim), 4v4 (Double Elim)

On a friday or saturday.

And have H1 4v4 saturday or sunday.

Here are some basic rules we can change future but here is what I am thinkin 2v2 Gow double elim. Lets do warzone no weapons swap 5 mins rounds ppl vote on the map and mb execution but with same rules also bleed out time is 20 secs. If you want any change thats fine with me also any glitch will result on a forfeit there will be a game of 3-5 rounds seems fair. There are just some basic rules any change is fine with me

I thought you guys wanted to play by MLG rules for everything? Not that I'm complaining or really mind what the rules are, but Gears MLG is:

Gametypes and Maps
Execution - Canals
Execution - Clocktower
Execution - Fuel Depot
Execution - Gridlock
Execution - Mansion
Execution - War Machine

Gametype Settings
1. Extreme Content = Off
2. Gametype = Execution
3. Number of Rounds = 5
4. Bleed-Out Duration = 30
5. Round Duration = 5
6. Friendly Fire = Yes
7. Weapons Swapped = Yes
8. Replace Hammer of Dawn with Boomshot

Not a fan of MLG myself, but those are the official rules, if anyone cares.  :P

STEEEL - on the monthlies - we have anywhere from 4pm till 11pm on Sundays at Funhouse...  But we just don't have enough time for 2 halo tournaments.  A ffa would take several hours.  Anything else would take 4+ hours if it's double elim.  Just no time.  Heck, doing JUST one 2v2 or 4v4 - has taken till 1 or 2am because of hardware / other concerns... So no - just one Halo tournament during the Monthly.  As for multiple day?  It's kinda a fun idea, but best kept to a CompUSA / etc format.  As I say to EffectZ here in a second, and is covered earlier in the thread - the monthly tournaments - are to get the word out about OKgamers - to as many types of gamers as possible - thus the multi-game format.  So....

Cools - exactly.

o no halo 1 and 2 well then i wont be there lol gl to whos going

EffectZ - http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=293.msg2900#msg2900

Right there, finishing on page 2 - it was decided that we should just have Halo take ONE spot - not 2.

FIRST OFF - We do NOT HAVE THE ROOM NOR TIME to do TWO halo tournaments.  I'm sorry, it's just not feasable at this time.  We start renting out hotel rooms - etc?  Then we'll talk.  Else - the monthly tournament area is just not large enough / enough time.

Second - the whole purpose of the Monthly Tournaments?  Is to get the word out about OKgamers.com  - SURE - I have NO PROBLEM throwing a halo tournament every month - because there are plenty of halo players helping out the cause.  But 2 Halo's - is exessive, to say the least.  It looks like we will be throwing another CompUSA tournament - approval pending.  So - in a few months, we'll have another big all day Halo event.

This is not that.  This is to get the word out about the site - to as many people as possible.  As discussed through page 1 and 2 of this thread, please refer to it :)  No others spoke up / out about it, so I assumed it was as consensus as possible.


And - that last bit is kinda my defining point to all this.  If we get feedback otherwise on the forums - it'd been different.  But February 15th, at 10:49am - Micah suggested (http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php?topic=293.msg2746#msg2746) we stop doing ALL the SAME GAMES over and over again.  Still on Page 1, a couple hours later I post - stating not only does it suck because we are limiting our crowd, Halo players voting in TWO halo's - are killing us on time/space/people bringing enough hardware - we just can't do that properly / the way they want - with one screen per person, etc etc.

Later, Vega backs it up.  Then Micah clarifies - pointing out that "If this site stays so stagnant, like it has the past few months, people are going to lose interest and this whole endeavor will likely fail.".  Which I've got to say, is a concern. 

Then Penquinotic agree's, continuing the call for more games.  Coolsvilla as well, pointing out more games.

2 days later?  Pinkie comes in and sums it up:

Give 2 spots to what is voted in for Halo / other, 1 spot we try and keep ROTATING for everything else.

...After a full 4 days to see opinions - I come back in, and go with what has been overwhelmingly agreed upon.  Which really is?

We vote on 3 games:

1 - will probably always be Halo - whatever the Halo types vote most for - we'll play.
1 - will probably be current favorite - seems to be SSBM now.
1 - we will try and swing the vote to be - something new.

This month - it seems to have been GoW.  Next month?  I say GGXX since it got the next to most votes this month.  After that?  Maybe DOA, MvC or a SF game.  Etc.  Etc.

Why not just drop halo 2 for a single tourny? Halo 1 will bring in a breath of fresh air and will be a whole new tournament.

Effectively?  That's whats happened.  We said we couldn't do more than one Halo game - and you guys voted in h1 vs h2...

However - for the whole 'third game' thing - that's something that'll be around for a while - just need to get a list of games people want to do for the next 4 or so Monthlies, and start it up!

I'm happy to see everyone opening up to new ideas.  I think you're making the right moves, and this site will start to benefit in the ways you intended it to.

I'll do my best to make it to future meetings.

Let me know what else I can do to help.

Hey X_A,

     Sorry I haven't been around to the last few monthly tournies.  It has been one headache after another at my job and family comitments have been getting in the way.  I will try to make it next Sunday but it dosen't appear that there are any games I play (Halo a little but I have never played against anyone).

Micah - you've had good input, I appreciate it.  In the middle of running things, plus all the stresses associated with real life / etc - I've just not had the time to step back and make those initial observations -_-

Joshua - no biggie man - now we do have staff positions opened up - you should swing by the chat forum and check it out - maybe you can help out that way!  Also, we've got SF in the list for the new 'swing vote' games - hopefully that'll get in and you'll get to come for that!

Here's my comment on the earlier dialogue about what games should and shouldn't be played.

First...halo should have one automatic, guaranteed slot.  That's what brings the crowds right now...and if you don't have it for ONE tournament...even just ONE...I think there will be a major drop-off in attendance.  I could be wrong...but it would be wise not to tamper with that.

With that said...there should be like...2-3 yearly halo 1 tourny's (and one of them be replaced with h2 when halo 3 hits the market) that take the spot of the halo slot.
There's no reason to run H1, 2, or even 3 at the same time.  It's all the same crowd, and we have time constraints as it is.

Second...I think there should only be 2-3 games each tournament, and THOSE should be what's voted on.  Also...halo should have the option of either a 2v2...4v4...or halo 1 2v2/4v4 set up.  Other than that...the games should be decided by the competitors that come and play.  If they want gears of war...they can have it.  If they want smash...they can have it.  But there's no reason that halo...with as much weight that comes with the simple title "Halo" should ever be off that list.  And that's not trying to cater to a certain crowd...that's giving support to the crowd that has brought this place this far.  I'm not saying that halo did all the work...but look at the registration numbers.

I bet at least 60% of those members are here for halo.  Nuff said.

I'm not sure that I'll make it to this month's tournament...but I'd like to if I can.  Mine is just an issue of not really planning things well.

But overall...the things I've seen come out of this place, so far, have been pretty amazing...and I haven't even gotten to tell most of the kids that came to my tournament a year ago, yet.  I get XBL on Thursday...and BOY!  Will I be making announcements!

Anyway...just my 2 cents.
