Gisela Open Chat

[Ther]

The Gisela Open starts soon. Use this thread to discuss any and all aspects of the tournament.

Registration begins Thursday evening! You can find more information by clicking on this link:

[Amaril Torrun]

I would love to take part in this because I remember enjoying reading the threads from one of the last ones (or the only one?), but I'm not sure if I can OCCly or ICly. I'm gonna have to really think of a good reason for Amaril to want to take part in this.

[Saxon]

I have a few questions involving the tournament:

1. Are the units in a character's army to be directly proportional to the character's level, and if so are there certain rules because of this?

2. Is Gold going to play a big part in this tournament? What I mean is, are players going to have to purchase the soldiers in their army in a bazaar-like fashion or can they create armies on the fly?

3. What is the prize for the winner of this year's Gisela Open?

[Amaril Torrun]

I think they are going to come out with more information as it gets closer to registration time. I can't really remember the rules from last time regarding any of those questions, so I'm rather useless.

EDIT: Ignore this post, because it was pointless and only written because I'm bored.

[Bleater]

The only discussion I can add to this is that I'm super, super, super pumped for this. :eek: And can't wait for more info to creep out.

[Andrew]

Traditionally, you just get soldiers to use in the battle from nowhere. Different people have justified it various ways, but I believe the most popular justification is the idea that the soldiers are created by the monks of Aibrone in the same fashion as terrain. We've had a huge variety of armies, many of which would have otherwise been totally impractical. Max's army of high tech dudes, AC's army of dinosaurs, my pixie hoard, and the very idea of anyone following Sighter into battle.

[Koran]

Now, all you need to imagine now...is the entire Roman Legion descending upon you...

...Or the thousand nations of the Persian Empire...

...Or a few thousand Spartans...

...Or the Mongle Hoard...

...Or the Huns...

...Or the European Crusaders... (Although, they were a rather motely assortment of no-bodys and can't-fight-worth-a-shitters...)

...Or whatever you wants...

I'm excited...so many ideas, not enough paper, or time, to get them all down. I missed the last one, I really don't want to miss this one. :)

[Amaril Torrun]

Well, I've got an idea of what I'm planning for this. So does anyone know when the rules and info are gonna come out?

[Breaker]

I have a pretty clever idea for an army, but I think I might have trouble adjusting to writing for a horde rather than one or two people. Has anyone had trouble with this in the past?

[Patois]

Any more updates? With registration opening in just under 36 hours, there's not really much for aspiring "generals" in the means of knowing the rules for planning out our armies. :confused:

[Ther]

Max Dirks is having some personal issues, so we're a little bit behind. I see if I can get the rules up today at some point, though.

[Amaril Torrun]

Does that mean that the registration is also postponed, since the rules aren't out yet?

[Max Dirks]

Correct. Registration is postponed until the 7th.

The rules, however, have been posted. You can find them here (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?p=72214).

:( Argh. One of the three days I'll be out of town. Well, I believe I shall have to work on my submission during vacation and cross my fingers for an open spot to be left on the 8th. :p

[streak101]

Woot! Thats the day when i can use my dads crappy Pc in this crappy hotel!

Aaanyway, allow me to say that All your base are mine, and if i do or don't get a spot in it, good night....and good luck.

[Ther]

Just a note - there's a strong, strong chance that this tournament will fill up quickly after registration begins, maybe as soon as 2-3 hours after the thread goes up, so make sure you're on when registration begins.

[Renjiro]

Is it still starting at 9?

[Amaril Torrun]

Ha, and if it wasn't going to fill up immediately before, it definately will now, since everyone's going to be trying to squeeze in during those early hours.

EDIT: It starts 12 midnight, central time, Saturday night/ Sunday evening

[Bohemia]

I'm awake at nearly all hours of the day. It'll be easy to jump into the Registration, unless I'm out drinking.

Additionally, I still need to decide what character I'm going to enter with. Oh...choices, choices, gat dang it.

[Ther]

Well, if you don't get in, we may have something under our sleeves to make it up to you ;)

[Saxon]

EDIT: My jaw dropped when I saw what time registration is opening. I'm going to be in a mad rush to get my army registration completed since I looked at the time of when registration opens and I was wondering if the possibility of registering and adding your army for approval a few hours later is allowed?

[Renjiro]

No, I just asked. Apparently it is at 12:00 am CST July 7th

EDIT: Okay, so it is now 2.5 hours after the time that is shown in the registration thread...

Double EDIT: Dmn screen messing up. Explanation already given.

[Saxon]

I suppose the words "Max, you owe me a cookie." Are going to replace my registered thing. *looks at time* 3:02 A.M. -_-

One of those things where I'm afraid to go to bed in case I miss it but I want to say "Fuck it!" and walk away. Damn your temptations, Gisela Open, Damn them!

[Max Dirks]

I apologize to those who stayed up. I completely overlooked my mistake on the time. Registration opens at 12 PM CST later today. I will edit that, and thanks for staying up. At least you had an excuse to drink an extra beer!

[Thoracis]

I just registered.

Now everyone can talk about how afraid they are. Or how nobody thinks I will be active for it. Either way, I'm looking so forward to this I can barely stand it.

[Saxon]

You and me both. I've been dying to see what a bunch of shield-eating monks and psychic insects can do to an army of elves. ;)

[Thoracis]

I have no heroes and no flight capable units. Sweet.

[streak101]

hmm....Santhalas your skills as a fortune teller is a poem of two words....

YOU SUCK

Seriously though, is this slower registration pace than usual?

[streak101]

Double post:

On that note, I already registered and after looking at the current line up...

*In a nyah nyah nyah tone* I'm gonna get pwned! I'm gonna get pwned! I'm gonna get pwned!

[Max Dirks]

Not slow at all. Gisela registration requires more effort (i.e. describing the armies) than the other tournaments (which require a simple reply). I suspect that by the end of the weekend the number of registered participants will have tripled.

[Renjiro]

If this keeps up will be able to start by the 12th?

[Amaril Torrun]

I was expecting a bunch of people to have their armies saved on word, ready to copy and paste as soon as the thread opened up.

[Renjiro]

Yes, but we received the rules and format only a couple of days before registration, so a lot have people may not have had a lot of time to prepare it. Plus, it was right after the forth. Some people might still be out of town.

[Max Dirks]

Ignore all dates previously listed. I will give the actual dates as registration progresses.

[Thoracis]

I know I would love to see some more registrations before the weekend. Being a co-founder of this tournament I'd have to say that my favorite thing so far is seeing the creativity that is produced in different people's armies. This tournament, unlike all others, allows us to step out of that dueling mindset we get so accustomed to in normal Althanas battle and step up to a much larger scope. Nowhere else around here do you get this kind of sheer scope, nor do you get as much emphasis on the strategical side of things like terrain or even troop movement for that matter... move a unit to the wrong position and it could be 400 dead troops... that's fun. I also think it levels the playing field because the best 1v1 warrior might not be worth a dime when it comes to writing for their character, 3 heroes, and an entire army.

I'm so pumped up... I don't get why everyone else doesn't seem to be. Plus I get to make my first appearence, let alone a tournament appearence, since winning the LCC. I'm looking to start a streak and I need opponents to make that happen ;)

[grim137]

I'm seriously psyched about this as well. Honestly this is the first Gisela I've had a chance to enter (I was around for the second one but I couldn't register due to not having computer access during the time of registration) and honestly, my mind has been buzzing wiht various scenarious and storylines possible in this tournament since I registered.

[Amaril Torrun]

Yeah, I missed out on both of the past Gisela's and I'm looking forward to actually participating in this one. I honestly have no idea how to RP an entire army, but I've got a few ideas (I know that made absolutely no sense).

So sign up people!

[Saxon]

I'm kind've curious to see what exactly is considered to be the 'norm' of this tournament. So far there are elves, dragons, humans.. a roman legion.. (can't wait to see how that pans out).. and a hodgepodge of other stuff. It'd be kind've cool to see the patterns writers usually fall on in Althanian terms when it comes to war.

[Tiberius]

I'm wondering what it'll be like to fight an army of undead...

...or an army of elves...

...I'll soon find out!

A word of advice (from a guy who has never been in this tourny before) do not seperate your troops! Stay together as a collective whole...

...Seperation just means a fast, painful death...

...Or a slow, and equally painful and dramatically drawn out one...

...:)

[The Architect]

I'm so pumped up... I don't get why everyone else doesn't seem to be.
I for one am not registering because I've only seen one example of a Gisela battle, and it's likely that the majority of the other newbies haven't seen one at all.

[Thoracis]

Everyone has seen an example of a Gisela battle. Ever read any books by John Marco? George R.R. Martin? People might not know them all that well... how about Tolkien? Those authors have had some fairly large and rather epic battle scenes in their books. None of us have achieved anything quite that good of course, but you get the idea.

I wish the TGA-Purifiers clan war battle was still around... it went unfinished but it was certainly grand in scope. Madison and me went pretty much all out in that one. Ah well, we're sure to have some good ones once this thing gets going.

[Saxon]

I have a question about units. My guerilla fighters produce traps (bear traps, pitfalls, etc etc) on the battlefield would they be classified as a unit or something summoned? It'd be helpful to get this answer fast in case I need to make some changes.

[Thoracis]

Are you asking if the traps would be units? If that's the case then no. The actual soldiers themselves are what counts towards your total unit count, nothing that they produce.

[Renjiro]

When will we hear about our armies. Is anyone going to go ahead and approve the people that have already registered?

[Thoracis]

I haven't talked to Dirks about it personally, but I think the wait might be for this now abnormally slow registration to come closer to completing.

[Slayer of the Rot]

You know, I was never particularly...fond of the Gisela. In fact, I was just wondering if I was going to bother registering this year before I happened to see the first place prize.

I'll have my army up soon.

[Amaril Torrun]

Yeah, first place would be pretty nifty...

[Christina Bredith]

It's a shame I'll be on vacation for the second week of the first round. I don't think I'll risk it. I may have internet access but more importantly than that I'll be short on time. =\ Oh well, I was never much good at these battles anyway.

[Tiberius]

Slayer!?

Active!?

For a tournament!?

That...that's unreal. I am shocked.

More people need to register! Please! I don't want to be shorted on the one tournament that I actually wanted to participate in!

The cell was fun, but not that fun.

[Renjiro]

It's a shame I'll be on vacation for the second week of the first round. I don't think I'll risk it. I may have internet access but more importantly than that I'll be short on time. =\ Oh well, I was never much good at these battles anyway.

With the way registration is going right now, you might not miss any of it.

[Saxon]

Besides, theres no point in dropping out when nothing has happened yet. Just keep up to date and see what happens, and think about writing some clips ahead of time.

[Christina Bredith]

Heh, you may be right about that. I've already got 95% of my army written up anyway... not for the tournament, but because of a Citadel battle I'll be doing. I guess I can at least see where things are next week or so.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I have a question about mounted units. Some people seem to have listed the riders and the mounts as separate units, while others (I've seen at least one) have the rider + mount listed as one unit. Which is the proper way to go?

[Io Beauregard]

If it's anything like the character registration the mount should be grouped in with the soldier using it. The Architect is probably right. Not many new people have seen an example of an Althanas gisela battle, so they're not participating.

To be honest I don't have that much of a problem with a small number of participants. That means the whole thing will go by a little quicker.

[Atzar]

With the way registration is going right now, you might not miss any of it.

Relax. Dirks is dealing with real life first. As soon as things settle down for a few of the mods involved in this, your tournament will get under way.

Just be patient.

[Thoracis]

Cavalry doesn't count for two seperate units because of the horse. I know where people might think that seems unfair since cavalry>infantry in theory, but someone could go all cavalry and I doubt they would do that well unless they wrote it extremely well.... You still need flexibility.

[Elrundir]

Well, he can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he was trying to say anything against Max there. There are only 11 people out of the expected 24 who have registered, after all, so things in that department are certainly progressing more slowly than expected, which naturally has nothing to do with the people running the show. I think that's just what he meant.

Actually, with a good balance between heavy, light and horse archers...an army could be nearly unstoppable. The Huns were testament to that. Even if they still used infantry from time to time.

Yes, I meant nothing against Dirks.

[Atzar]

Fair enough. My bad.

[Serilliant]

Rest assured that I am merely taking some extra time to temper and tweak my force to perfection. Announcing my army too early would have prompted a mass exodus from the registration thread. As soon as more people are locked in and unable to retreat, I shall reveal that which will undo you.

[Amaril Torrun]

Anyone else frightened by the one with the duck avatar? :p

[Max Dirks]

The registration will remain open until its full, but at this rate I might be forced to lift certain multiple character restrictions.

Do you PG's know that you can win an HQ (for free), and get all the benefits from it (for free)? Lord, if I was a PG leader, I'd have the entire tournament flooded with my members.

No real life problems here. Just finish registration and I'll approve the armies!

[Letho]

Why not lower the number of participants to 16 instead of allowing multiple characters? With multiple characters, we wouldn't be getting any real increase in activity; the same number writers would still participate in the tournament, only they'd post twice instead of once. If we lower the number of participants, the tournament would be easier to handle and it would finish sooner.

[Tiberius]

I agree with Letho! Besides, it might mean more one on one army battles instead of the huge conflicts you guys have planed. @.@;

Wheee! Fun stuff. Yay!

Not to worry Serilliant, I made a hero just for you if you did decide to enter, and he gets hungry easily. ;)

Wheee! Fun stuff. Yay!

I think the way they have designed it is awesome. I can't wait to try it out.

[Thoracis]

I wouldn't be opposed to rolling with 16 armies either....

Dirks is right about the HQ thing though. I half expected this to turn into a clan war with a few others like myself being like wild cards. A free HQ is HUGE.

[Koran]

Slayer! You'd better win! <.<

[Karuka]

I know a couple of people from The House of Sora have registered, and one or two from the Gol'Bron, I think...and one from the Audeamus. Audeamus hasn't shown much interest, surprisingly.

[Koran]

I can't. I'm already reg'd as another character. :p

[Cyrus the virus]

And I don't really give a shit :p We'll get the HQ our own way.

[Saxon]

Something has been nagging at me since I registered for the tournament:

What is the position of bunnying in the tournament moderator's eyes, because I'd hate to have to go through 10 posts explaining how an ogre rips an elf's head off like a bottle cap from a coca-cola bottle. :rolleyes:

Somehow this seems to strike me as somewhat of a novice-like question tournament-wise.

[Thoracis]

You pretty much have to be as careful as you would be in any other situation. For example, it probably wouldn't be in anyone's best interest to write anything to the effect of, "the archers let loose a volley which dropped the entire front line of the charging enemy unit."

It can be tricky, yes, but don't forget that if you pull off an attack, or through use of good strategy put your opponent in a situation where they HAVE to take some losses and they shrug it off like nothing happened, or otherwise mitigate the losses in a way that they shouldn't, then a judge will notice.

[Renjiro]

Could we say, "the archers let loose a volley which dropped upon the front line of the charging enemy unit"?

[Koran]

Perhaps "The archers loosed, the scream of their missiles as they flew threw the air distant compared to the steady darrum-darrum-darrum of the approaching soldiers. With a steady and practiced hand, they set their next arrows to the string, pulled fletching to ear and with the shouted command of their officer, let fly another deadly wall of wood and steel. The first volley, having just reached the apogee of its flight, began to descend upon the steadily approaching enemy, even as the archers set themselves for their third volley."

Boink! That'd be how I'd write it...<.<

[Max Dirks]

I am going to close registration on Gisela at 7:00 PM EST on Wednesday, and adjust for the number of players accordingly. At that time, armies will be approved. The tournament will begin shortly thereafter.

[Amaril Torrun]

Argh, so much for a good sized tourney. It'll still be fun though.

[Saxon]

Its about to be on.. like donkey kong. Eh, we don't need a lot of people, I'm sure there will be a lot of time taken out to teach us beginners how to do it or something. O_o

[Bleater]

Are we to assume that updated info will be coming at the time the first round starts? I figure largely that several final details would need to be sorted out before we could actually start RPing in this, such as

-Are there format changes now with the lower number of entrants? (How it's running now, if differently)
-What "areas" do each army start in, and what's the general geographic/topographic makeup of the interim areas? (Where we're at)
-Which armies will be placed together in each division? (Who we're fighting)

[Breaker]

When will the gambling thread be up?

[Max Dirks]

Bleater, all of your questions are answered by reading the threads in your division. Random series of numbers, gambling will most likely begin tomorrow.

In any event, the tournament has now begun! Go kick some ass.

[RumpleGrumblePuss]

Yay the Gisela has finally started. ^^


Am I the only person here that is worried of getting stomped into a gooey puddle?

[Saxon]

I'm rather excited about my match-up and I can't wait to get the ball rolling. It was kind've confusing to understand about the whole 6 different threads thing, but I'm starting to catch on and should have my post up very soon. ;)

[Twisted Infinitum]

I wasn't worried about being stomped into a gooey puddle until I realized the difference in scale to the previous Gisela. My main magical tactic covers two acres. That is rather small in the terrains used in the old tourney, now that I think about it. In this one, it's meaningless. There are 640 acres in a mile, and each region is 15 to 20 miles long. It's smaller than a pixel on that map...

It especially sucks because it's a land shaping ability that takes three or four posts to make anything really noticeable. Given the scale of these battles, I could have made a small group of earth mages that would do the same within the time frame of a single post.

I limited myself to 600 troops because I thought I might be too powerful with it, and the number won't get any higher than 650 with my heroes that create troops. I'd say it's a good chance it'll be ineffectual, anyway. "My troops aren't on that specific pin prick of the map."

Partially my fault for registering early and putting the distance too small for even what I was expecting, but it would have been nice to have some idea of scale or even a little warning on approval.

[Thoracis]

I think your Landscaping is still fairly powerful. If I read it correctly you had never really planned on using it to like... swallow and entire unit into the eart or anything... so in localized combat that still seems like a pretty badass ability to me.

From reading your registration I had the impression you felt it was overpowered and didn't want to use it on that large of a scale anyway... perhaps I just came away from that wrong?

[Twisted Infinitum]

I didn't intend it to swallow anyone. It's mainly to change the level of the ground so that my tech users will have angled surfaces to redirect gravity with. The real reason that it's obsolete now is that I had limited myself to choosing the location of that area, then waiting a few posts for the full effect. I can only do that once in a round. With the terrain so much larger than I expected, (the armies are smaller than the last Gisela, after all) the amount of traffic that a two acre space would see from any force isn't worth the compensation I did for it.

EDIT: I did ask Dirks through PM if it could be changed, but I'm not holding out hope. Precedent and all. I just needed to get it off my chest so I don't look like I intentionally threw away over 300 troops for an ability that could have been accomplished by a small unit. That would look somewhat stupid.

[Wyfind]

I would love to join tournaments but I don't think my role playing skills are enough for Gisela so I did not register. Perhaps another tournament.

[Saxon]

Quick question: Should we list our casualities in OOC chat at the end of each post or should we tally it up at the end of the round?

[Max Dirks]

Whichever you'd prefer. I'll be closely monitoring casualties between rounds.

[Tiberius]

Wewt! I haven't fought anyone...

...Yet...

...Rawr!

[Amaril Torrun]

Lol, me neither. But a few of my guys got killed regardless. :(

[Bleater]

When do the current rounds end? It seems like I remember it being said something like three weeks per round, but I'm not sure when we're looking at exactly. If I gauged it right, it's somewhere around... Sunday night?

[Max Dirks]

The first round ends today at 9 PM CST.

Post your conclusions!

[Bleater]

The first round ends today at 9 PM CST.

Post your conclusions!

Bah. Oops, didn't get time to throw my final OOC note up. Ah well, I'll put it in here, just because I wanted to make the note to the judges.

I thought I'd also touch on one thing, being that I used both past and present verb tense in my writings. Yes, I know multiple verb tenses is a no-no (I've been slammed on it twice in judgements before, usually double-whammying my Mechanics and Clarity scores). I wanted to point out that this time it was quite intentional, as I segregated the "backstory" with past tense from the "current events" in present tense. So hopefully this time it shouldn't be a Mechanics issue, only a Clarity one (and I already know my Clarity score's gone to hell with the format I used :p)

[Thoracis]

Looks like there was no reason to worry since you advanced anyway.

[Tiberius]

The tension...

...Grah! I hope I at least don't get last in my division. =(

[Amaril Torrun]

I feel kind of guilty about my advancement...

[Karuka]

Don't, man. He that does stuff ought to reap advantages over lazy bums who don't.

[Thoracis]

That punk chump Drax Piston might have bitten off a bit more then he can chew this time.

Don't get over-confident Dirksy. I'm not rolling over for you.

[Tiberius]

Great.

I start in a desert.

=/

[Thoracis]

You should be more worried that you're coming after me first. ;)

[Tiberius]

I'm not coming after anyone, I'm just marching to get free of the desert. Besides, it might turn out to be an interesting battle, no?

Or perhaps, a one sided fight.

[Amaril Torrun]

Wow, I made my army march out of the desert just to get out of the desert too. They are also marching straight into another army.

Stop reading my posts... even though I posted after you. :eek:

[Thoracis]

The only one sided-ness about it will be me trying to fight off three armies.

[Tiberius]

Wow, I made my army march out of the desert just to get out of the desert too. They are also marching straight into another army.

Stop reading my posts... even though I posted after you. :eek:

Yes, I believe it should be that you need to stop reading my posts, mm?

lol

Anyway, who the hell wants to camp in a desert? O.o Not me and my army.

Besides, plains make for fun battlegrounds and for good cavalry movements. So long as you can get across the rivers well enough...

[Thoracis]

I think we have a sweet battle going so far, even without much actual action.

It's going to get messy pretty quick though I think.

[Rayse Valentino]

Thoracis is pretty fat and juicy so it's not like they could've avoided you.

[Max Dirks]

Yeah, you guys are screwed :)

[Thoracis]

Only because I let you do what you want.

[Tiberius]

I still think I should just burn you all. >.>

[Thoracis]

I should have a post up tonight. Sorry for the wait. Weekends usually aren't the best posting time for me.

[Cyrus the virus]

So can Luc interrupt this tournament to destroy everyone's army on his own, or what?

[Thoracis]

Luc couldn't beat Thoracis alone. How could he beat Thoracis plus an army? Or multiple armies?

[Twisted Infinitum]

Behold the inevitable question (especially since we had a period of downtime).

When does this round end?

[Slayer of the Rot]

Luc couldn't beat Thoracis alone. How could he beat Thoracis plus an army? Or multiple armies?

Dan comes with him. (One of) The ultimate ass wrecking team.

[Max Dirks]

I'm extending the round 5 days.

[Bleater]

I'm extending the round 5 days.

<_< Now to see if anyone else in our division actually appears again, or if I have to go Hulk Smash on them. :p

[Thoracis]

I was hoping someone else would post again, so I had something to respond to. I'm kind of stuck with Tiberius where we are.

[Thoracis]

Nice move Bleater. I shall now unleash all of Thoracis' fury at Alerar on your army. :p

[Bleater]

Nice move Bleater. I shall now unleash all of Thoracis' fury at Alerar on your army. :p

It's the price I gladly pay for a good story. :D

Just wondering if we can get any update on where we're at with this? I know the new FQ is coming up soon and am fearing this possibly ending up overshadowed a bit. :confused:

Sorry for the delay, the Aztar division judgment will be posted tomorrow.

The final round will start shortly thereafter. Expect only a short overlap with the end of the Gisela and the start of the FQ.
