Kind of, I guess? I don't have as many limitations. It's not related at all though.

I need to start collecting a list of horrible rules people make for tournaments. This one is quite creative, in a grim way!

Can I ask why 135? Any reason to go above meta?

so you can't even wear the hat of chester..
shame shame

My guess is because he is too lazy to make a character at the correct level for hosting a tournament and is smart enough to know that it's not worth enforcing a 125 cap on a character who can summon as high as 135.

What rules are that terrible?

It's what I can summon on my character.

You are not allowed to have more than 1 of the same spell attuned.

I crossed out all the rules that aren't awful.

It's a little excessive, I know. But the Rules might change still by Tuesday. Me and the other owner of my YT channel are still discussing rules. This is just a "first draft". I didn't want too many restrictions like the X360 one, but I feel some things need to be restricted. We also might be re-doing this every so often. All depends on how this goes.

I'll remove the restriction on DLC stuff.

It has nothing to do with how powerful the DLC equipment is, it's an issue of access. Not everybody has access to DLC content, thus allowing it would unfairly advantage people who have the DLC.

It is silly to be concerned over this, though, since anybody who is serious about the PvP will have bought the DLC.

One day notice for a tournament with an actual prize, an "in progress" rule list, a discussion with another person with equal say in what happens, and an SL135 cap? This is extremely unprofessional altogether for a posted event with an actual prize.
You give it a minimum one week in advance, you have a carefully considered rule list set by an experienced PVPer, you do NOT discuss anything with anyone who has the same amount of power in it as you because that wastes time, and you make the soul level the meta, and make it one single level, not a level range, so everyone has the same build potential.

I recommend rescheduling, and getting your stuff together.

You can't really check SL though. And I guess you are right, I'll make this 1 week from tomorrow.

Sneezer wrote:make it one single level, not a level range, so everyone has the same build potential.

You can't actually force people not to use lower level builds, though. Tournaments only need to set a max level, the participants should be smart enough to use a build at the max level instead of showing up with a SL 90.

Of course you can't force anyone to do anything, especially since they would put themselves at a disadvantage. You say it's one level to discourage people from straying, so it's generally a more even playing field. That, and so people don't have an easy excuse when they lose, because whining is annoying.

How am I supposed to prepare my build for this with a day's notice? How am I supposed to make weapons and armor for a tourney? And going up to 135 is stupid as well, you can tell by the number of souls a defeated person gives you what level he was and thus it's easy to see if he's cheating. Also, Dukes Archives is a poor place for this as the lockon range for melee is very short which throws an unexpected factor into the mix, one which many people are not used to dueling with if you care so much about "fairness" as to ban wakeup attacks and spears. Tourney should be 120-125 or 99-100. Also, define "backstab fishing". If someone is trying to roll attack me with a great club you can be damn sure I'm going to try for a bs because it's the best way to deal with those people.

"It looks like that guy who just lost was cheating! I guess we'd disqualify him if he hadn't just been eliminated."

the day has been changed, June 4th. The level restriction will be 125. back stab fishing has also been removed from rules.

"Every participant is required to be killed by the host once to test Soul Level." Nice and simple rule and it keeps things fair.

Why waste the time and risk somebody out-smarting the rule? This problem was solved eons ago. The host runs the tournament with a SL 105 character. Anybody above SL 125 will be unsummonable.

The only thing wrong with that is that the only character I have even close to that is 113.
