I agree, with just three participants a round Robin tournament is the best possible format. Sadly, that also means ties are very likely. Over the years, especially those that DoM had few active mages show up for tournaments, we've had a multitude of opportunities to experiment with this situation. S...

FF hits for 1 against nothing, but shield hits for 0. I'm not sure what you mean by this. Perhaps you can eloborate? A foul fog/shield round is not a null round. And the foul fog spell can score a full point against several other spells, a shield can score half a point against several other spells....

Back in the day when there were more active Mages, we had the Mage Rankings to keep track of mage vs mage (and archmage) duels, and rank the Mages amonst themselves by Mage WoL. This Mage Ranking was what was used for Archmage Tournament seeding. It was also used to encourage more dueling amonst th...

I don't think you actually bothered to read half of what I wrote, so I'll repeat myself. And quite frankly, if a low rank tournament was implemented and several mages went out of their way to create throwaway characters for it that just shows me how much they really want to draw in newer faces. I d...

Why is it assumed that if a lower ranked tournament is held that all the higher ranks are going to create new characters to enter it so they can compete? I mean, if this is the assumption or a fact then things are way past broken. Not assumption Harris, experienced again and again over the last 15 ...

In regards to the all ranks tournament, let me repeat what I said elsewhere in the board about low rank tournaments. We used to have apprentice only tournaments. People that wanted to be in the tournament but only had higher ranked characters simply made new characters so they could participate wit...

Many Warlords/Barons/Mages/Emeralds can stand around in a room for HOURS and request duels with no one accepting preferring to duel people their own rank or lower. Or my personal favorite, the duelist that only accepts responses to THEIR duel requests and won't accept others. There is some misconci...

There are all ready multiple functions built into the game that help new comers advance, any more just waters it down more than is needed. Talon of Redwin, Ring of Klytus, Panther's Claw, All Ranks Tournament, Squire/Mentor program. It is one thing to offer tools that help the new players gain rank...

I'm in total agreement with Gnort on this.

Marc,

I love you, too. I think it's wonderful that even though you're not interested in DoM for your personal enjoyment at all you are so generously giving DoM and all the people who enjoy DoM your support. Thank you!

Matt, Any decission regarding DoF opening hours has to be made by you with the best interest of DoF at heart. Azjah and I (the at the time DoM coordinators) didn't close Monday night DoM to benefit DoF, but to benefit DoM. Yes, it would be supercool to have a DoM only night, if just to see Kal come ...

I truly believe that if the shift is hosted, people will come - it will take time, but they will come. I agree with Druid that the refusal to have Tour duels count on Mondays hurt DoM. It showed an inflexibility and rigidity that many might find off-putting. With the recent upswing in duels, what's...

lol Will, a paddle or pole may have been helpful in parts.
