Putting out a feeler for a series of Death Match Ladder Style Games. I think a modified SubZero Edit would be a great Edit to start with:
1 -vs- 1
6,000 Sectors
Unlim
Aliens Appear on day 1
SBB Port at Dock
Dock Adjacent Fed
No Gold Bubbles
Lots of One-ways
1 Second Photons
1 Planet/Sector
No Foton From FED
100% Cloak Failure
Port Regen 200%
Port MAX 32k
Lock Decay 5 minutes
Multiple fotons
No Free Product
Max Deaths: 1
Max Commands: Unlimited


Players start in a closed game, already created. I would suggest a UnderGround Trader as a starter.

My understanding of a ladder system involves a even number of players, in a structure something like:
Player 1
Player 2\
         A
Player 3/  \
Player 4    \
             Final Match - To The Death
Player 5    /
Player 6\  /
          B
Player 7/
Player 8


I'm thinking hosting the first round for FRIDAY AUGUST 28, 2009 .. Games Open 8PM EASTERN; ExTern at 11PM Eastern.

If anyone is interested Please let me know here in this Thread or if you wish to be anonymous contact me by email myoptik@yahoo.com or ICQ 240-630042. I'll take entries until Midnight AUGUST 27.

I like the setup but can't be there on a Friday. I think we need something like these fairly often - I am rusty.

K. so perhaps first round matchups will partially consider people schedules.. so people who can't play Friday night can play Saturday night.

So far:
HELIX
KEWLBREEZE
PROM (Sat)

----
Edit:
In the event that a Game is set and one of the parties doesn't show the person who does showup wins by default. Similarly. If both parties fail to show, the winner from another Match will automatically advance to the next round.

Will we be taking timezones into consideration? I get home from work at 7pm PDT, I can play any night of the week after that time. If people need to start at 4pm PDT (normal rebang time) Friday, then I am a Sat guy too.

Does that make sense? Also LS, can I play from my server?

Since our Servers are on the same Network and you would get 110ms or better Pings; I (and probably everyone else), would prefer that you don't :wink:

Some of the smack talk was trying do decide exactly what "death match" means. I'm not going into detail here, but since my definition is a bit different than some of the dedicated red cashers definitions are, I think I'll prolly sit it out.

One death, LS, that means 1 SD or 1 pod?

One Ship Destroyed.

Edit: Players still get 2pods/day. Though it's supposed to be a Death Match, in the short term sense. a game can go on for much longer. first person SD'd loses.
