Calypsos Master Miner 2

[Amante]

The question is simple. What kind of competition should the next “Calypsos’ Master Miner” be?
Option 1 is pretty straight forward. Bomb/probe anywhere and the most points wins.
Option 2 just like option 1, but with a limited mining area.
Option 3 is also a simple one. The first person to find a tower wins.
Option 4 is a little more complicated, but my personal favorite I think. ( I still like the race for a tower idea too though. Lol)

The tournament would run something like this…

Round 1. The qualifying run.
I’ll use 100 as the number of participants for my example because it’s a nice round number. (Yeah I know it’s an ambitious number, but it could happen! Lol) Points would be scored in the same manner as CMM 1 with a couple small changes. The 100 participants would be split into 4 different groups of 25. Round 1 would last for 3 weeks. Week 1 only finds at CND would be entered. Week 2 finds from Amethera. Week 3 finds from Eudoria.

Round 2. The semi final.
The top 5 from each group in round 1would stay in their original group and move on to round 2. This round would last for 9 days. Entries would be accepted for 3 days for each location. Ie 3 days for CND, 3 days for Amethera, and 3 days for Eudoria.

Round 3. The finals
The final 4 (the top point gainer in round 2 from each group) would have one day at each location to gain as many points as possible to be declared the winner.

The prize structure would depend heavily on donations from sponsors and/or an entry fee.
I would like to keep it free to enter if possible of course. Ultimately I would like to see a decent prize go to the semi finalists, something a little better for the final 4, and something really cool for the winner. All of that will have to be decided later of course.

Disclaimer: None of the above is set in stone as of yet. The number of groups, time limits, and prize structure are all up in the air. They all will depend on the number of people who choose to participate and of course your votes in this poll.

I think a tournament style even is great. It would be nice if you could close down an LA for an hour or two so that the miners can go crazy in that area.

Being that I'm not a land owner, and this would be open to all LAs that won't be possible. Any land owner out there could arrange something like that if they wanted to.

The tournament! The tournament!

If you're gonna do a tourny style, then widen it up at the top and thin it down as you go along.

For example:

• Round 1, globals from all locations are available.
• Round 2, only globals on Calypso are valid.
• Round 3 only globals on Amethera
• Round 4 only globals on Eudoria

Each level gets harder and harder to hit globals and really separates the Miners from the Prospectors. (Lil skiling joke there)

That would be easy enough to work into the rules. I will keep this in mind when the time comes. Thanks for the idea!

How does this sound to the rest of you out there?

Any other ideas and/or suggestions are welcome!

What a slaughter that would be! LOL Every PKer on the planet would be out there listening for trumpets and hunting down the poor miner to steal his find.

No, I don't think this will fit well with what I have in mind. It is an interesting idea for an event of its own. Certainly worth some thought.

Well this will be your chance to prove it to everybody! But only if you sign up and compete when the time comes.
