Tourney server? Eh, what?

[Skaak]

This is pretty much aimed at SaucyWench, but if anyone else knows a bit...

I've taken a gander at GemDust.com, and it sounds interesting.

However, I haven't signed up because there's nothing that really tells what the heck a "tourney" server is. Was there an announcement in the forums that I just missed (and that my search missed)? Or has Saucy only been promoting it via her rather cryptic signature and website?

I'd be glad to be one of the necessary 30 people if I had any idea what it was and what kind of a time drain it would create in my life.

Basically a Tournament (competition) of 100 game days, to see how far you get in the Hall of Fame. After that 100 days it's all over and you can't keep advancing. The main page shows some of the main settings people are usually interested in (Purple Tourney is 15 forest fights per game day, 5 PvP per day, and two game days per 24 hours) but for *any* server you can see the settings from the login page by clicking Game Setup Info.

Moved to here where it will prbably be better placed.

Boy, ask a simple question and get an entire new forum for it to sit in.

I see, Saucy. I wasn't aware that GemDust wasn't officially endorsed. Thought it was an experimental thing like DragonCat. The other posts in this new forum have answered most of my questions, actually.

I had looked at the setup information for Purple server, but it didn't tell me much beyond the number of forest fights and PvP allowed each day. Thanks for the other info!

Hehe, just seeing some of the "God Mafia" as farmies makes it worth while for me :P


Thanks for doing this Saucy

[SaucyWench]

*laughs* Indeed, ThantosFive.

Skaak, just to let you know, I don't quite think I would call DragonCat experimental - it's true that both DragonCat and Central are still beta servers and do on occasion have code that we have to change, but DragonCat is Kendaer's (Moonchilde's) real, production server, not really a testing ground. We have a testing ground, but it's not really a public server, and it has a different website address.

I have a question. How many real life days do we get to play the 100 game days? Or is there no resurrecting?

[SaucyWench]

Plus resurrections.

It's 100 game days, that happen at the normal New Day times. =) It means it will last 50 real 24-hour periods.
