Each player has to play everyone else once. A Win counts for 2 points, a Draw for 1, and a Loss for 0.
Tournament is open to all, inside and outside The Cult. Get in touch with me to join at any time.
Tournament duration will be as long as it takes. We're not in a hurry. It should be a few weeks at least. Once it's finished, we'll take a couple of weeks break, and then make a new planet and start Season 2.
ESSENTIAL RULES (screw even one of them up and the match doesn't count)
-The Insomnia Cosmic War mod must be used for all games, so whoever's hosting the lobby must have the mod installed and activated. The mod itself and instructions for its installation will be offered in the (upcoming) mod thread.
-At least two casters must be present for a game to begin.
-A successful cast is required for the match to be valid (so test thoroughly that the casters' voices are audible before you begin).
-Make sure you have picked your correct commander from the armory (set him to default so you won't have to do it every time). Register your unique commander here:
https://culture.vg/forum/topic?t=7281-Turn on the options "Player chooses spot on starting planet" and "Global Spectator Chat" in the lobby.
NON-ESSENTIAL GUIDELINES (if you screw them up, the match counts, but please don't screw them up)
-The title of the lobby should be set to "KOTP1: username v username", e.g. ChevRage v icycalm, with Chev's name coming first because of alphabetical order. If the names don't fit, shorten them.
-The title of the stream should be "Insomnia King of the Planet 1 Game X: username v username", same alphabetical order as the lobby. The names will always fit here because Twitch's maximum title length is generous. That's why we spell the entire tournament title out.
-Start the stream in the game lobby, NOT in the game's main menu.
-End the stream in the victory screen, NOT in the game's main menu.
-At the start of the stream one of the casters should say "Welcome to Insomnia King of the Planet Season 1", announce the players' names, etc., and at the end of the stream he should say say something to the effect that, "And that was King of the Planet Season 1: ChevRage v icycalm" or whatever.
-The casters should make sure to open the economy tab so the viewers can see the players' names and colors, otherwise it'll be hard for them to follow what's going on.
-Use PIP to show another side of the planet. Even better, if you have a beefy rig, enable the mod that gives you a second PIP, and use one PIP for the other side of the planet and one for the first-person view. recoil is an expert at this, so maybe he can tell us how he does it. But make sure you have a beefy rig, otherwise the game might chug.
-Test your graphics settings to make sure you make the game look as good as your rig can make it.
-Streaming at 1080p30 is preferable to 720p60 because this is a strategy game and resolution is more important than framerate. Of course if your rig can handle 1080p60, that's the best.
-After a match concludes, one or the other of the contestants should post the result in this thread along with the link to the stream so I can update the leaderboard.
See you on the battlefield, commanders!
