vDip cup Round 2 sign up thread
So around 18 months ago, I hosted a tournament dubbed the vdip cup which featured a series of 1v1s between players to determine who was the king of 1v1s.

If you have interest in playing in the next one, which will probably start in October, please sign up below.

WWIV Grab Your Buddy Team Game unfair???
Ive been watching said game for a while and have always wondered how the teams are split up with an odd number of territories. First team to a combined 100 scs wins i would imagine. I know there cant be a team of one because he would have no sure ally. So there has to be a team of three. when that teams gets to one hundred, do they win? or do they have to get to 150? someone help a brotha out

A complicated tournament...

Ok so we start out with a Chaos game... 34 players. you can't attack other countries until you have conquered your own first, and can only attack other united countries though(further explanation to come)... The top 7 seeded players will play... the next 7 will play, then the next 7, and the next... that leaves 6 players, who will play a Classic VS game with no Italy... after those 5 games come to an end, the 5 winners(or top player from each game if a draw occurs) and the next best 2 will move on to the finals. the winner is crowned the champion of the tournament!!
Now you will be wondering, what does he mean about the chaos game special rule... well here it is.
Each of the 34 players will be divided into the 7 "countries":
England- Liverpool, Edinburgh, London, Belgium, Norway
Russia- Sweden, Warsaw, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Sevastopol
Turkey- Ankara, Smyrna, Constantinople, Rumania, Bulgaria
Austria- Budapest, Trieste, Vienna, Serbia, Greece
Italy- Tunis, Naples, Rome, Venice
France- Marseilles, Spain, Portugal, Paris, Brest
Germany- Kiel, Munich, Berlin, Denmark, Holland

So in the beginning you can ONLY attack the other countries in your "country", so no German land can attack anyone other than the other Germans. you must conquer all 5(or 4 in the case of Italy) of your "countries" centers before you can attack another "country"... in addition... after you unify your country, you can only attack other unified countries(I.E if France still has 2 powers, Germany can't attack them yet)... this includes retreats... you can however support people against other powers in the same country... once we get to 7 players left, the game will be drawn. Ideally there will be one for each region, however it may be possible for Germany to take over all of England while 2 powers still battle for control of Austria, therefore both Austrians would advance... which ever country you represent is the country you will have in the Classic(Italian will be Italy, etc.) if 2 powers from the same nation DO advance, that will be decided then... If this is confusing to anyone, feel free to ask questions...

Butter -

One big flaw i see in this is that certain scs are invincible early on. For example, denmark is practocally invulnerable against the other 'german' nations as one of holland, kiel, or berlin would have to leave themselves completely undefended just to help another sc take out denmark. Similarly, tunis has almost no chanve of being a victim early on as it will always move to tyrrhenian or ionian, blocking one of the spots needed to kill it.

drano019 (2710 D Mod)

No offense butter, but just brushing off a major flaw like that is very shortsighted. By having some scs be virtually unassailable due to the no attack rule, the fundamental chaos of the chaos map is changed, and not in a good way.

butterhead (1272 D)
11 Aug 12 UTC
@Muscle- just tell me you want to join and I will put you on the list
@Drano- I'm not brushing off any flaws. no matter what you do, there will always be a flaw in every tournament, every map, every situation... Hell, Portugal is a pain in the ass to get into even in a regular chaos game... there is no fixing that. Yes Denmark will be hard for German players to kill. but read carefully... I said that you could support other people... so Sweden could easily support Kiel into Denmark in a fall turn. if Kiel has had enough Diplomacy, he should manage to keep Kiel as his own... It may have it's flaws, but it also adds another layer to the discussions and Diplomacy. knowing Belgium isn't going to take Holland from him, Holland could easily work with Kiel to take Denmark. or Denmark to take Kiel... you know you have to help each other to take out the other members of your country, but you know that you have to stab eventually, because otherwise you are stuck and have to rely on outside countries to take each other out for you both to make it... so yes, while it will change it, I still don't see how it's too much of a flaw to make the tournament a failure.

goldfinger0303 (2136 D)
11 Aug 12 UTC
I agree with drano. Too many flaws. What of the neutral territories? Are they considered "united" in the first year? Or must all of Scandinavia unite before attacking anyone else.

Then there's the whole deal of what if England unites, sees France as the next country to unite, so surrounds France with fleets to pounce as quickly as possible. It could go for any country, but once one is united, there is *0* incentive for any of the neighboring countries to solidify should they not be able to do it within a year of their neighbor.
goldfinger0303 (2136 D)
11 Aug 12 UTC
Ah, never mind the first point, but still, the second one remains sound. This will end up a game with one or two solidified countries, and a bunch of little powers within a "country" and it will be drawn at that.
drano019 (2710 D Mod)
11 Aug 12 UTC
Butter -- regarding supporting people in other 'Countries': your rules were ambiguous. The statement about supporring an attack in another 'country' was made right after talking about attacking other unified countries. It seemed (to me at least), that all you coukd do to start was attack and support in your 'country'. After unifying, then you clukd either attack other unified countries or support attacks in un-unified countries.

Even with your way though, why would denmark, norway, sweden even fight? Theyre all isolated and nearly impossible to capture by their 'country' provided they dont turn on each other. Theres no real incentive to turn on each othee, especially since doing so just help a different country unify and become more dangerous.

butterhead (1272 D)
11 Aug 12 UTC
@goldfinger- your second point is a valid one. and it will have to be addressed, so I will take a look at it and make sure there is a way to avoid that problem...
@drano- I apologize if I was not clear. it was supposed to be a completely separate point, that you CAN support another player in another country, just not attack it directly. and they would fight because it makes potential for a future alliance once they are unified. if Sweden were to support Kiel into Denmark, Kiel could then eventually help Sweden into St. P via support, and then once both Germany and Russia are united under Sweden and Kiel, they could work together against other united countries. there are hundreds of possibilities... heck, maybe Sweden really just doesn't like Denmark, so he wants him dead? that's a fair reason for them fighting... I do see your point, however, but I fail to see a better lay out for the neutrals to be included into the 7 countries without making one have too few or another too many centers. as it stands now, each has 5 except the 4 in Italy... if you see a better way to lay it out with there still only being 7 countries, please let me know!!!

Butter, a lot of ambiguity about when you can go "international," i.e., attack other "countries." Why not just play a game of Chaos with the eleven best finishes moving on to "Crowded." From there, the seven best finishes could move on to Abstraction III, with the solo artist or lead supply center holder in the draw getting the win?

butterhead (1272 D)
11 Aug 12 UTC
@kaner- It's a good idea, I could do that and just have lowlands be just Belgium and Holland, but that would take us down to 11 players and I want to jump straight into Classics, not crowded, and to keep playing down to 7 would make it extremely complicated when you get players like Belgium and Sweden and stuff into the final 7 because they were a different country than the classic 7, so what I want is some division where they all fit into the classics...
@G-Man- what do you mean? what's ambiguous about it? and like I said, I don't wanna play a crowded, I want to go straight to classics.
@All- I think some people are overlooking a key point as well... the Chaos game really isn't overly important to the tournament. nobody gets eliminated in it, it's really just to see who will be playing who in the next round and who will be playing as what country... so while there is flaws in it, it's not like those flaws will cost anyone the entire tournament, everyone still has chances...
