hehe the name's subject to change. but anyways, if i can get enough participants, i'll host another mmcafe tournament. i've been planning this for a while, but my classes threw me off. thanks to Omar for triggering that little spark in my brain @_@
this is how it goes. there's a game located at http://www.tetrinet.org/ which is pretty much an online version of Tetris. well, sorta. there's an added feature (which can be turned off, by the way) that allows you to collect "special blocks" to "heal" yourself or "attack" your opponent. at first, it can be pretty complicated. but after you get used to the special blocks, it'll all make sense
when i first thought this tournament through, i was gonna do it like the previous tournament -- free for all. then i remembered that tetrinet allows you to have teams. so i will allow teams ranging from 1 to 3 players
for example, Jimmy can be on a team by himself, or he can team up with Johnny to make a two-player team. finally, Jimmy and Johnny can team up with Julie to make a three player team
to avoid confusion (and insanity), each match will always contain two teams. as for the choice of playing "classic" (no special blocks. when you clear more than one block, it'll add lines to all your enemies), "special-only" (only special blocks. when you clear more than one line, it won't add lines to your enemies), or both (special blocks will appear. also, when you clear more than one line, it'll add lines to your enemies), i'm not sure how to set this up. maybe before the match begins, each team can declare what they want, and if their choices conflict, i'll flip a coin or something to see which team gets to play on their terms
so what do you guys think?
EDIT:
oh yea, this'll probably start a couple of days after the first MMCD to give you guys a little breathing room (and to let you guys practice using tetrinet a bit, and get any technical problems out of the way)
i've given it some thought. i know that having two whole teams show up online at the same time can be pretty tough. so after all the teams have been formed and the brackets have been created, the schedule of the fights will totally be up to the players
oh, and any help organizing and managing this tournament is appreciated ^-^

I like the idea, but I'm quite restricted in the internet use right now... if the matches are played in saturdays, I could enter, I think.
Oh! One little problem! The MMCafe members are spread all over the world, so there will be problems to arrange some matches. For example, from Spain to US West coast there's 9!! hours of difference, so for example an IronD (you live in California, right?) vs Time Mage could be difficult to arrange.

Sounds fun...
But how would teams be decided? Is KoF? Do we represent games or countries of origin or something? Do we get to pick our own teams or would be assigned?

there's also the thought that lag may be a problem. don't worry. in a game like this, lag isn't a big factor. when those small seconds mean a win or loss, lag might affect the outcome of a game, but i seriously doubt it'll be a big problem. it's just another friendly tournament anyways, eh? ^_^

Maybe teams and/or brackets should be assambled based on their available time.
Say, everyone on Spain or similar time are one bracket. That way you'll only end up coordinating a single team from a different time vs another team (that won it's bracket), instead of many.
I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense. I'm all out of cofee and I need it.
very good idea! brackets based on time would help out a lot of the matches (at least in the beginning)

That's right. Southern California.
This is an interesting idea, but I'm still finding all the set-up to be intimidating. Plus, I'm sure that many members of the Cafe, including myself, have other things to attend to, therefore getting everyone together would be difficult. Wouldn't it?
If we could get this to work, then I'm all for it!
oh yea, this tournament is no rush at all. if it's gonna take a while to get a certain match started, then that's cool

crime in Gotham City doesn't exactly seem to be affected by a man dressed as a bat flapping around the place. But no-one disobeys a man wearing a necklace of human nipples.
