New idea for Subtourny
I was thinking of a kewl subtourny that is based on the Clans land system. How would it work to make a smaller land confuguration, and hold a lottery assign the lands initially to players. Each land holding its own unique bonus. And then players hold free challenge games challenging players for there lands. Land holder gets to choose the map played..
Who ever conquers all lands or a certain % wins.
Here is a SAMPLE land. Once all lands were assigned to a player the players could name there own land. ( Lands stay with that name thru out tourny then).
Let me know your thoughts.

Kind of like a risk type tourney, something similar to what Pan and Wacko did with bastards, was a really good idea, except for non committal players  Always thought an idea like that had merit. Like a warlords tourney but on a map with continuing gains.

So does this sound like a tourny that would be kewl to run? I know warlords was popular, and Clan lands system is addictive. This tourny would be alot easy to fight and obtain lands since, its individual players owning lands, its NOT a team.
With the sample map I made, there are 25 lands. So 25 people potentially holding a land to start. SHouldnt be any trouble finding a game to fight for someones land.

It sounds like an interesting idea. Just a couple points I need clarification on.
1. How many challenges do you have to accept? Also how many are you allowed to make?
2. When 2 people do fight how and the defender wins what does he or she get?

Well to challenge a player for his land you simply e-mail them or contact them in GameSpy and request a challenge for there land. Then if you beat them the land becomes yours.
I havent worked out any of the fine details, this was just an idea I had. Havent gotten many posts so either people dont visit message board anymore or this idea doesnt appeal to anyone at this time.

Ves gave me the go ahead to run the tourny. Now I gotta start to fine toon the details. ANyone want to offer any?
Zud suggested assigning each land with a map. So which ever land you own you must defend it with the map it holds. So for example if I challenge Blue Camel for his land on map UTB and I win then anyone that challenges me for that land, I must use UTB etc. And each land would have different map. So thearetically there can be 24 different maps for the lands.
Now need to find out if there be atleast 24 players interested in holding lands to begin with.
Also if I get enough interest, I need to come up with 24 unique bonuses for each land.

I like the section of Australia I got. Isn't Canberra in there, somewhere? lol.
Jinx, a similar idea was recently proposed on the Vandea Forum as a possibility for the Vandea tournament, and I pretty-much nixed it. That's not to say it couldn't work in a larger framework like ToH, but I'll share my concerns just in case anyone's interested. My experience has been that players come and go. That means that as soon as all the lands are filled, the tourney can accept no more new players. I'd hate to turn people away who wanted to join up and play. On the other hand, clans become defunct. Some mechanism would need to be in place to deal with these losses. Perhaps their lands would be forfiet and new players (on a waiting list, presumably) could then be randomly assigned a starting land from the defunct player's lands. The problem here becomes determining when a player (or clan) is truly "defunct." Most clans just hold on to their lands and fade away. To my knowledge, only one Axeoth clan has ever "disbanded," and that was over an ethical issue.
Anyway, these are some things you might want to think about as you put together the sub-tourney. And I really like the idea of the clan being able to name their own home territory.

Laelth those are good points. I think it would be simple to just have a waiting list and any players that show to be inactive, we simply e-mail them to and give them a warning and have them reply with if they are gonna be active...if they dont reply then we can take that as a no, and give the land to next on the list.
Even though this has same kinda feel as clans system this is different in the sense that each land is owned by single players. And the lands are fought for via free challenge matches etc. So lands can trade hands very fast. I would suspect something like this would be much more active. And since each land would have its own unique bonus, it woulld also be appealing to players to want to expand and conquer lands.
There are 24 lands set up on the map I threw together. But even if all lands were not initially claimed, we could have special requests from 2 land holders to do battle for one of the open lands. Maybe even give each player so much gold or prestige or something to start and if they want to challenge for one of the open non taken lands they gotta post up so much gold or prestige. That way a player couldnt just challenge and take all open lands etc, since they wouldnt have that much gold or prestige.
Each land won you would gain some gold or prestige. COuld also come in handy if you challenge someone and they are hestitant to accept you could bribe them with x amount of gold or prestige. etc. Just some brain storming here.
