nice scheme ^^
-
Incog or Shadow join neone?
-
hmm well this isnt really ttjp, this is "fuel race".
Personally id prefer ttjp, with the fastest time winning like ttrr. Jet pack on 30 fuel, or unlimited if you wanna play that way im fine either way
-
fuel jet pack race > tt jet pack race :)
anyway rules say:
General rules
You can choose between fuel trial jetpack race and timetrial jetpack race. If you can't agree on which one to take, the game will be timetrial. :-[ >:(
-
Guess I'm in as soon as this gets approved.
-
Signups are open, sirs :)
-
1st for the 1st time. What a delight!
-
one more and this cup will start :)
-
Ok ;)
-
16 sounds perfect :)
-
Uh now Joschi signed, too, I will quit, because I won't have time in the next days, I hoped it starts sooner ;(. Have fun guys.
-
here are 2 schemmes, imo this long race sux and its less exiting :)
Kayz also uploaded this 2 schemmes to your schemmes database
https://www.tus-wa.com/schemes/
-
I uploaded the both schemes for Fuel and Time Trial in the public scheme site. :)
-
Guess we'll start at 16 :)
Kayz, you can sign up again, especially if you're only prevented for a couple of days
-
Well I am on vacation, and won't have internet and worms, and I am back at 10th July, so no way ;). It just fits with the Intermediate cup, because the Group stage goes until 28th.
-
Wait, 10 sec for turn + 30 sec for retreat isn't time trial, it is classic turn-based jpr. Time trial and fuel trial are actually the same, they use scheme with unlimited fuel and unlimited turn time (current cup scheme). So what's wrong with it?

yea this basic schemme is ok(imo best for this kind of cups).
Kayz and me uploaded this schemmes, cause turn based jpr is cool too(imo more exiting).
Anyway turn-baset jpr can be played in 2 variation too "time trial"(waste fual and fly as fast as possible) or 'fuel trial(save your fuel..).
I also think "turn based fuel trial" is simply best.... U have to be good in both way of jet pack racing.
-
Um, how would you play turn-based fuel trial?
-
Hm you could read the scheme description I gave with the scheme.
You have unlimited jetpacks, and unlimited time, and unlimited nades, but the rule is to use only one jetpack each turn, so you fly away your fuel and use some retreat time after dropping the nade. This is not as boring as the other scheme. The one who can use his fuel better gets further, simple.
Edit:
Ok this is no pure fuel trial, but it teaches both skills, flying fast, and flying with as less fuel as possible. If both players get to the finish in their retreat time, you just fly back the map when you reach finish, to see, who gets further.
-
yea I played it on WO some time ago, but basic schemme for this CUP is good too... anyway it checks only 1 kind of "skills" ... flying fast or flying with as less fuel as possible :-[

This is what I call classic turn-based jpr, it isn't trial. Trials became available with 3.6.29.0, involving advanced jetpack power settings (used for unlimited fuel).
Edit: oh well, this variant with 90 fuel isn't classic, my fault. I like it as well, though still it isn't trial, it's turn-based.
--------------------------
Okay, I suggest the following thing then.
For group games: players have to agree on some type of trial. If they can't, they play this mixed turn-based variation.
For knockout games: as they are bo3, you play time trial and fuel trial as first two games. If there is a draw, then the mixed one comes as decider.
How does it sound?
-
Very good.
-
Very good.
You're not even in the cup ???
The turnbased racing kind of leaves the possibility of luck, doesn't it?
If you enter a long vertical shaft, it won't matter whether you run out of time just before reaching the top or just after reaching the shaft.
That's not too far if you ask me. There's a reason regular RR isn't used in this league anymore :)
-
Tenori idea sounds most fair!
Keep in mind its very fast schemme so playing extra round is not a problem..
and I dont see any luck in this schemme(all variations).
-

::)
A small advantage could turn into a huge advantage because of this, but also, a huge advantage could disappear like this, not because you were much better/worse than the other, but because of luck (timer ran out!)
-
I dont understand what talking about :-[
"If both players get to the finish in their retreat time, you just fly back the map when you reach finish, to see, who gets further."
Anyway as a mod pls tell us how to play this cup before we start..
-
Well, you can pick turn based jetpack racing if you absolutely want to do that, but if you can't agree on which type to use, go with timetrial :)
-
imo TT idea was much better but ok, You are the mod here.
-
but? ???
TT is the version used if neither player can agree
-
my computer died, so i ended up having to install ubuntu, on my laptop, and now im trying to set up xp virtually but that is failing i does not seem to like the product key even though its the one on the CD. so untill i get that sorted or find another way of running WA i wont be able to compete. btw i did try just putting xp on my laptop but got BSOD everytime i tried.
-
iv have now manged to get WA to work, so anyone in my group msn me on pspeasegood@hotmail.co.uk to arrange our game
-
I m not an expert in jetpack race, but after finishing my first game I want to vote for Kayz scheme. The game finished within 1 round is just boring ;) To my group members: call me or just show up! :p
-
MY OPPONENTS please be available in this weekend I'm going to holiday next week, I will be completely offline a whole week!
I searched for you a lot of times in #AG so please host Snooper at least!
-

And finally, please arrange your game if you can't find your opponent! If your opponent is hard to reach because of time zones or active clanning/single league, it would help enormously if there's one day/time when your opponent can find you.

-
Hehe thx. Well thing is i joined 3 cups at a time where i was prety inactive so didn't rly get to get my games played...
-
LOL at this cup :)
today i asked about jpr game wormiverse at msn and he didnt even said 'NO' ;)
I suggest to cancel or just close this cup...
-
If you don't count group 1 (which is filled with notorious cup delayers), this cup isn't all that inactive
-
Since I am back of my holidays, could I replace some inactive guy? :)

I wish I'd thought of that idea :-[
I'm not on my own computer at the moment, so you'll have to wait till I get home.
You'll be replacing someone in group 1. I have to find out which is the most notorious inactive player.
I know it's not Phanton :)
edit: Turko, it is!
-
Ty, Sir :)
-
Congratulations to group 2, we finished first :P
-
Haksch, Phanton, Orel, please contact me via PM or MSN to arrange our games...
-
GL Kayz in turney...
-
No sign of HakscH or OREL for weeks!
At least Phanton caught me in ag. Thanks for that ;)

try catch him on WO tourneys:)
he is very active there.....
http://wormolympics.com/players/OREL
-
I spoke with OREL, he said "you won". So he quits the cup, do I report anything? Or just nothing? ???
-
Decisions for the group as they stand now:
Group 1: OREL has been kicked out of all cups (and he already voluntarily left this one), because he was slowing down lots of cups without ever arranging a game. Haksch is also terribly inaccessible. As it stands, Kayz and Phanton will go to the knockouts.
Group 2: You guys are all active! And yet, you're not getting the games done... I don't think I can let any of you to the next round if you don't play or arrange games.
PM sent to remaining group phase players:
The summer vacation time is almost over, which means deadlines are coming back to TUS cups!
The deadline for this cup is September 5th 00:00 GMT
Since the rounds have taken a long time already, I'm going to need people to arrange their games in the cup threads. After all, you would've found your opponent already if waiting for them had worked.
This is how you arrange a game.
Let's play our game next Sunday at 8PM GMT
This is not how you arrange games
- Hey, meet me in AG anytime
- I can't find my opponent!
- I messaged my opponent, but he didn't answer
- Yeah, we'll play our game soon
- Let me know when you can play!
- Let's play in an hour
Remember: if you're slow in your own cup, you will make it impossible for others to host new cups.
Tick tock :o

No more response and the deadline has been reached.
Decision made according to previous post.
-
This is unfair :-\ :)
I asked wormiverse to play this game many times, but he dont even ansver me.
I am very active while they are not, i also won my game and I am first place in group but for some strange reasone U kick me from tourney...
nice
thanks....
and lol why Kayz and Phantom may play in Po even if their group was less active?:)
-
Why do I have to kick people out of cups before I get responses? :'(
Seriously, it takes 1 minute to let me know what's going on...
Your last post was from July. I posted about deadlines about 3 weeks ago (in August) and sent you a PM, warning you to arrange the games.
You haven't posted since.
A few days before the deadline, I sent you a PM and in that PM, I linked you to this thread.
Decisions for the group as they stand now:
Group 2: You guys are all active! And yet, you're not getting the games done... I don't think I can let any of you to the next round if you don't play or arrange games.
If you still manage to find one of your remaining opponents to play and win, I'll ask MI to turn back the decision.
You'll have to do it quickly, though. If Kayz and Joschi have played before you have, I'm not going to ask him to do it anymore.
It's in your hands!
To answer your second question: see the quote above.

Like I said wormiverse dont even ansver me when he is at ag.
I asked him about 6/7 times.
"21:31:NNNlKoras> hi
21:31:RoH`Wormiverse> In-game...
21:31:NNNlKoras> dark one want kick us from tourney
21:31:NNNlKoras> cup*
21:31:NNNlKoras> jet pack race
21:31:NNNlKoras> cause U dont want play vs me
21:32:NNNlKoras> go to forum and write your reasones, if U still dont wanna pla
"
maybe this time he will ansver lol
but I am sure he won't
Chakman is inactive I didnt saw him at ag since ages.
-
Koras, this cup has been going now for so long that we simply lost interest. :) Wormi would answer you tho if he had read your messages. DarkOne, you can advance Koras and Nail i guess, i dont think Wormi and me will get the games played anyway... not sure about him though, i'll ask him.
-
You know I asked you guys to arrange the games at least 10 times now, right? ???
We'll see what wormiverse does.
-
Ya, I must confess that i wasn't too motivated to play my games...
-
Yesterday I saw him at ag too.
Of course he didnt ansver me...
btw he use The Wheat Snooper so he can see every message >:(
-
Koras, I've decided to proceed you and you'll have to play Stripe.
If Phanton and Shadow finished their games and you still haven't, I'm allowing the winner of that game to play Stripe.
Please post here if you and Stripe have played and I'll ask MI to fix the standings, so you can report.

-
I win with Koras.
-
You can report now, Stripe :)
-
stripe wtf?!
i bet he lost replay........
I will talk with him tomorrow. Its time to finish this cup1
just 1 game left and we finally have final +3rd palce match!
btw why loser cant raport?:)
"You shouldn't report if you have lost or draw in this game."
-
stripe wtf?!
i bet he lost replay........
Yeah, that's why I send you a PM to please upload the replay :)
I think he sent you one too!
Please upload it here, so Stripe can report as soon as possible. It's about time this tourney is going to wrap up :)
-
Shadow please pm me with time u are avaiable to play... or just catch me on ag im almost everyday ;/
-
Shadow hasn't been on TUS for a while now. If he hasn't signed on before monday, I'm kicking him out.
-
Alright then, Kayz vs Stripe in the finals :)
-
Deadline set for the finals. No playing = no winner unless I can obviously see which of you is trying harder.
Saying "I'm on messengers all the time" and "Tell me when you want to play" are not considered serious efforts.
-
Oh nice, the cup didn't die. I gonna play with Stripe, if I find him :)
-
I think you forgot to read my previous post :o
-
Not really, I just didn't see you put a deadline at the end of November, I didn't get any private message, so I thought this cup was just aborted. ;o I didn't get a response of Stripe yet, and it sucks that there will be no winner actually, because I all the time played my games and had to wait in the final for a damn long time. 'd be quite unfair, no?
-
True :) I´ll let the winner depend on what happens now with regards to Stripe. He hasn´t been online for some time now
-
finally this cup finished !
