I'm in favor of different divisions, but I also think regular deity players can enjoy a lower level game with some restrictions like AWW. Or at least I will. I think divisions should be about game difficulty in general and not just game difficulty level. FOr now I think starting out with 2 divisions should be ok.

I'm also a big fan of easy scoring. Although sometimes being ridiculed for it (RIP Simple Ladder System . I'd say earliest date of finish determines winner, when people end on same date, civ score decides.

I agree processing results should be automated in some form, I'm prepared to look at it but as you all know by now, my programming skills are a 'bit' flimsy. I have reserved time to finish web entry for the ladder during the x-mas holidays, so I can take a look at tourny then too. It would be very helpfull if someone with asp/php skills could help out.

In C3C I don't think we can hold up all random maps. Just the start position placement alone is so crummy (how do they manage to break something that worked ?????) that maps should be looked at. I'm prepared to make a map once in a while, but not all the time because I wanna play myself too

I'd say let's try and start a 'season' on the 1st of january!!

Well maybe we should not get too over-excited here, there has been numerous attempts to have a Single Player game played by everyone here at CDZ and none ever worked. Its very much a PBEM forum where ppl rather spend their time on their PBEMs
We should really check how much feedback we get from KoD2 in order to then launch a Tourney or not.
No ?

But KoD is on Demi-God and I for one wont be playing it for that very reason alone.

Unlike some people I like to start a game I think I can win.

Taking a poll from KoD players seems like a great idea for the Harcore Division but its precisely the softcore players that this 2 tiered system would attract.

How about we just open a poll anyway?

1) Hardcore Div (Deity equivalent and Beyond)
2) Softcore Div (Lesser mortals)
3) Aint gonna play, uh-uh not me sonny...

The most popular tournament division operated at Monarch / Emperor level. Competitive for the lesser mortals yet still a chalenge for fastest win for the hot shots. I'm with Meli. I'm not interested in deity / demi / Sid games that I probably will lose.

Don't be too pessimistic... I think there's an interest in single player, a new tourney might attract new members as well. I always enjoyed reading threads, even when I didn't play.
I for one will try to play, but anything above emperor is beyond me. I've tried the first sp challenge, but I didn't complete it due to "other interests" (not even a pbem, not even playing atm).

Also high difficulty is much more time consuming than lower difficulty. So that might help to get some people to play too.

We indeed might attract players that are for some reason not playing PBEM. Just because they only have a shitty phoneline for example. And not be looking for numbers either which means more admin. I would be perfectly happy with 10 active ppl per division.

Division naming, how about:
- Upper Beings (Deity and Sid)
- Lower Mortals (Monarch to Demi)

or something like:
- Micromanagers
- Governators

For the rules we could start with a dressed up version of the old tourney rules with modifications on simple scoring, divisions and schedule. The tourney site still resides at CFC (and locally on my desktop as well): http://www.civfanatics.net/%7Etournament/main.htm

Do we still like the one game / 2 weeks schedule, that could be a bit to much imo, one / 4 weeks prob. a better fit in everyones pbem affairs.

Comments appreciated!
