it's not a great place to build multiple teams since it's just us passionate enough to stick around that would frequent this place.
Hell, our little thing here might actually create a new MP scene if we manage to get enough people together.
But from my experience when pulling a lot of people along, it's neccesary to get people in the same room, and to get them to start talking. And as such I propose something like a social event.
I'm also volunteering for moderating the event. Teams aren't needed. This is looking like, right now, a 1v1 tournament. I get the sentiment that forums are terrible for building teams... But it's what we've got for now.
That's entirely the plan! This is also a great chance to official bug/balance test in a recorded fashion for Gearbox. Hopefully we can be a hub where the MP community can gather together.
This tournament, essentially, is what that is. It's not got prizes, or professional teams, just the community playing the game they love with a leaderboard slot at the end. At WWHW3, we are planning to do social gatherings on the first weekend of everything month on the back of this, which is just an annual event where we can organize some tournament-style action.
Add me on Steam. I'll set you up as a moderator and give you the guidelines. ^^ Adding you right away! I guess my enthusiasm is getting the better of me! It would perhaps be a bit premature to start asking people to come together en-masse so early on (weeks before release lol >_<). Only happy faces from me sir! ^^ EDIT: Oh right! I would very much like to get my ass handed to me in this glorious event btw! ;D | |

| Subject: Tournament Casting Fri Jan 30, 2015 6:53 am | |
| I would love to have an opportunity to cast some matches.
I'm 25 years old, and married. I've always wanted to cast and while I'm by no means an expert, I do have some experience.
I am a long-time StarCraft player so I understand RTS, and did a few casts of that game. I've also done a full Let's Play of Homeworld consisting of 54 parts, each will commentary, and I even tried my hand at casting a HW1 game.
Since new members can't post links, to get the links to the videos I mentioned you can go to the We Want Homeworld 3 Steam Page, and look under discussions. | |

| Glad to see you here Zamaszysty, I prefer forum over everything else since I can track discussion and other pros of it. Â
Now at topic at hand, I'm kinda concerned about length of tournament it shouldn't last too long because i don't want to see people lose interest both participants and observers. What i suggest is to hold it always on Friday and Saturday(maybe even Sunday as well) and it should last fixed amount of time lasting few hours(that should be discussed). Â It was stated that this is not professional tournament and its purely for fun but I do think we should approach with more commitment so we can keep making events like this.

While I've said it isn't a professional tournament, that doesn't mean we're not going to be as professional as possible, if people don't cooperate then they will be disqualified straight away. (That includes if they don't attend the time-window of their match; no matter the circumstances.) | |

| I know i just felt it is needed to be said. It would be good to have list of rules even at this point in some form. Month away is not that far so I hope we get more people active on these forums since it is a vital part. | |

| I've made a facebook post about this, but might as well post here as well; I'm thinking about getting an artist to make a custom wallpaper for the victor in the tournaments. I think it would be cool to mark the event with something special!
I have also come into contact with an artist, although he would need to be bribed with something. Now, I'm thinking about giving him a HW key, but as im short on money there are no guarantees. Anyone feeling like chipping in, or am I alone in this? I will prolly find a way regardless IF you guys are onboard on this.
So yeah, thoughts? | |

If you can get one, great, otherwise it'll be myself working in Paint.Net & Photoshop doing splash screens with modifiable text - Depending on outcomes. | |

it is a vital part. It might be hard to get a set of rules before You realise what has changed in the cross-game skirmish mode. I would be all for allowing all races to be played in the tournament without using any "classic" modes, but I think that we still need more detailed info about how much has changed , so we can make up some rules. Or we can just make it super simple - don't swear and have fun | |

| Considering how many is actually considering my HWtourney.jpeg on facebook, I cant say you could do any worse. xD And MadCat, greatly apreciated. I'll figure something out. The thing is, the guy I'm talking to is really good, and he takes offence if I ask him to draw for free, since he sinks a lot of time into the things he creates. He got a bit softer when I said I potentially could buy him a game. ;D I'm happy you guys are onboard though! I shall see what I can do! Oh and TheWorldSmith, I've been trying to get in contact with you on steam about the moderation thing! My name is Kerfilicious on steam. | |
