Geek.NET presents the Babylon Invitational GalaxyNG Tournament From: Galaxy PBeM Server <galaxy@geek.net> Date: Sun, 28 Mar 1999 00:00:00 +0000 * * * * * ANNOUNCING THE BABYLON INVITATIONAL * * * * * Geek.NET is pleased to announce the start of the Babylon Invitational! The Invitational is a single-elimination ladder-style GalaxyNG tournament which will have players facing off one-on-one to determine who is Galaxy's best player. Up to 32 players will compete for total victory in round 1 with the 16 winners progressing to round 2. Then to eight, four, two and the ultimate champion. Each game will run twice a week Mondays and Thursdays at 2200 Central US time. Victory will be determined by eliminating the other player from your galaxy, having them surrender to you, or by having the highest (eInd*Tech) at the end of 40 turns. Enrollment is now open and will continue until April 6th. There will be a few day's pause while players are paired up and the game is prepared to run. Turn0 will run on Monday, April 12th with Turn1 executing on Thursday April 15th (tax day :-). The game will be limited to 32 players. If there is a great deal of interest, I may start another invitational in a couple months. ---- TO ENROLL Send an email to galaxy-register@geek.net. In the subject line, put the words 'enroll babylon'. The order is not case sensitive. The body of the message is ignored. Please do not enroll in the game if you are not interested in playing or don't think you'll have the time. Having 30% of the players not even bother to submit turn1 orders gets a little old! The turn0 report will be sent to the address in the FROM: line of the message. If you want your reports to go to a different address, you will have to change them in your turn1 orders. NOTE: These games will use the latest GalaxyNG server which has some new options. Please see http://gumpu.student.utwente.nl/~galaxyng for more information. Up
