Ok I had some time to think and this is what I have in mind:
The main tournament should be jousting. (two horsemen, mano a mano
)
We would need a special map for that and referees.
As I made this up I'll referee alot
but as I want to participate I can't referee it all so we'll need atleast 2 other referees.
I think it would work like this. we make a tournament of (first 32 players) if more sign up, up it to 64. random it and assign everyone a spot ala Wimbledon.
than after the pairs are assigned ill ask each player (or he'll post it) when he can joust between a deadline of a week. with that I can assign referees and games to each day and time so the jousts can take place. if he can't play within the week time, he loses.
The joust will be simple. many can watch but only 2 can spawn as horseman. (with a limit of 2000 gold? or should we make it 3000? )
here comes a problem. you can only win if you knock out your opponent. but if you knock out his horse not him the joust should continue.
somehow we would have to edit the admin tools so that the referee can spawn teh cheapest horse. this to refrain from re-spawning (and gaining back your health).
if a player deliberately kills his opponents horse for more than 3 times he's disqualified.
ok any other rules? any ideas? critique?
mind you i'm open to anything and all critique so don't hold back.
