Questions: Dustbowl Loves Warpath

[MateoTheBold!]

Any questions about the event? Ask them here. Any rulings or clarifications will be updated to the official rules/info thread here: http://www.thevilluns.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=374914

Use that thread to locate match times, rules, etc.

Sir I have a question or two.

1. Will these be 12v12 matchs or 9v9 or ?
2. Are there class limits beyond the way db/wp servers are normally setup?

Thank you.

Just interested, how does the alternate system work for this again? Do we get drafted at random if we're needed or do the captains pick their ringer(s)?

12 vs 12 is what I was told. I want to know the class limits as well.
EDIT: And just like that the rules appear in the rule thread.

I would like to suggest random crits be turned off for the duration of the event.

Aye, I think I covered everything in my rules thread by now. The alternate system is that each of you gets assigned a random number, and in the event that a team cannot field 12 players, we use random.org to pick one of your numbers. Captains, nor admins, have any input on who is selected.

Beware the cruel wheel of fate, lest ye be tempted! (the shared alternate pool is to prevent teams from playing down a member, not to allow captains to game the sytem).

This isn't The Ville Cup, so there are several rules different from how we have done things in the past to differentiate the two events, and to help them work to towards slightly different goals that the two events have.

I edited my post to inquire about turning off random crits.

I edited my post to inquire about turning off random crits.

The goal is to have the maps appear as closely in order to show off the TV6/TV8 experience and smell to the participating players (hence the player limit, class limits mimicing our server setup). Crits, weapon spread, etc. will remain in place.

You will drop an ubercharge due to a random crit during the event, and a single tear of happiness will roll down your cheek when you think back to this post.

Could you make team 2's name official please? "Chokepoints and Demomen- International"

[The Domer]

GL HF all. With standard class limits, I predict many sentries and one-eyed scottish black cyclopi. I hope it doesn't turn into a battle of who can turtle dustbowl final the hardest.

USE MULTIPLE MEDICS

"Alternate fire on melee weapons, and secondary items such as targe/jarate, may not be used." -info thread
Does this mean that just the altfire exploits such as on gunslinger are banned, or that the regular use of jaratee/targe are outright banned aswell?

[ADevilishPotato]

I think that is for Captain showdown only

[Fraulein Arztin]

I find it unfair that team 1 plays on Dustbowl only 1 time and warpath 3 times.
Shouldn't it even out? Warpath 2 times and dustbowl 2 times?
I'm a little confused.

Any team will be able to keep DB 3-2.

3 competent engineers and a good pyro or two = impossible.

This only affects the melee only super sudden death mode for DB. If DB ties, goes into sudden death (and ties in sudden death) one player from each team will melee only to decide the match winner. The chances of this happening are pretty much non-existent, but you never know, so we made sure to have a mechanism in place to prevent a tie. Captains, or their alternate, can have any secondary they want equipped, they just can't use them (no targing, no throwing milk/jarate. etc). If you are a scout, you can't alt fire your clever or bonk ball, etc.

Assuming the gunslinger glitch is still active by the time we play, it will not be allowed for the melee only super sudden death mode. You can still use gunslinger during normal competition.

Sorry, typo. Each team plays WP twice and DB twice. It's fixed now.

oh thanks Mateo! I just thought it was kind of unusual...
Didn't want to be naggy.
