Online Con Prep Event 4x400

[Dysole]

Hello everybody! This is a thread for the Online Con Prep Event in two weeks. It's a chance to get used to the online interface, or to try out the map pool for Online Con, or just play in a Heroscape tournament.



Location: Discord server.

Date and Time: 11am Eastern, Saturday June 27th. Expect the event to go for about 5 hours. We'll likely have a break in the middle for lunch. Playoffs will happen after the event at night to determine a winner out of undefeated players.

Format: Bring 4 400 point armies. 18 figure limit. No figures repeated between armies. You will play one army per round, each army once in your 4 games. Classic Heroscape only: no Marvel, no Customs. 4 rounds guaranteed. Playoffs as necessary to determine champion will have each player to ban one of their opponents 4 armies and then each player will draft from their remaining 3.

Prize: Set of Online Con Prize Dice (still a work in progress but will be revealed soon)

If you have any specific questions or issues regarding the event, Discord, or the sign up form, please PM an organizer and they will either answer your question or get you to someone who can. Organizers are dok, Dysole, kevindola, Kinseth, Scaperedude, Sir Heroscape, superfrog, and vegietarian18.


~Dysole, kicking this off

[Chris Perkins]

Signed up & looking forward to it!

Question about Discord names - the submission form didn't ask about it, but if our Discord name is something different than our heroscapers.com name, will we need to provide that information somewhere?

[vegietarian18]

You can change your Discord display name on a per server basis (Change Nickname) and what we're going to generally ask is that people use a nickname that matches their Heroscape forum name. We'll probably operate under a system similar to the last event though where everything happens under Discord names at the end of the day.

I am just wondering if we will get a confirmation that we signed up for the 4x400 tournament. I tried to post a question earlier on the forums but it never went through, I am still wondering if my account is banned because I was inactive on it ~ 13 years (I see a banned message when I click on the Home tab), but my username is not crossed out. I did already fill out the first form on Google Docs for this tournament, but I wanted to double check before I fill out the doc with my army information. Thanks!

Some weird site stuff prevented you from posting. I have resolved it.

~Dysole, who wants you to PM her if there's any further issues

It is all set now. Thanks for fixing the issue. I am looking forward to the tournament.

I am so bummed that I cannot play in this one. I have a wedding that afternoon.

[vegietarian18]

Reminder that the event is this Saturday! Get your armies in soon. Looking forward to the games.

Will there be a list going out of players who have submitted armies? Just want to make sure mine were all set. Thanks!

[Dysole]

If there's any issues with an army we'll contact you. If you don't hear anything you're good to go. If you want to confirm what you submitted is what we got, PM me and I'll double check.

~Dysole, piecing it all together

[Cleon]

Submitted.

Will we be playing our armies in the order we filled out or will it be randomized?

[vegietarian18]

Randomized order for armies.

At the moment participation in this event is a little low (7 players registered with armies). We expect to get a few more tonight but pending exact number of registrants we may change format of the event from single elim to double elim as this event is about learning and we need multiple rounds to do that. We'll let you know at the start of the event. Prize dice will still be awarded to winner and it should still be fun.
