| Author | rules on blindfold tourament |
|---|
In my last blindfold tourament battles, when there're only 3 players left,
the wiz does not have enough mana to kill all the troops, and the dwarf lines up his troops in perfect 3x3 formation waiting for the wiz's firewall. surely the wiz win the battle in the end.
is this kind of behavior legal? |
| yes |
Sorry, i meant no. This is considered a staged combat, you can report them here; https://www.lordswm.com/forum_thread.php?id=125
(if you know their names, which is after the tournament is over i presume) |
since its a blindfold battles, ther will be no communication.
noway players can stage these battles.
maybe the dwarf want to go AFK or something. |
noway players can stage these battles.
I am certain people can still find each other. Admin can take steps to make it difficult but it is not impossible |

ever heard of skype?
or two computers used by same person?
or few friends helping each other, when they kill everyone else they deal amongst themselves
probably aiming for only one to get the medal
weird things happen in blindfold
all tournies actually, well except minor i guess
1x1 is hardest to set up i think
i played at least ones against an opponent that played with 2 chars
in paired with my alt, i played against a guy who played with 2 multies
he even had them signed :)
i didnt reported him, because i dont think it would have a real impact
people who want to cheat will find a way
when you are an idiot nothing can obstruct your impulse :)
i did pm him, and told him that i know what is he doing
he changed their profiles after that
well, i did have my fun time :) |
ever heard of skype?
i know about skype :P . what the use? when i dont even know who i am playing with ?
or two computers used by same person?
what do you mean? main & multi playing in same time?
or few friends helping each other, when they kill everyone else they deal amongst themselves
this happens in all FFA.
check this rule : 8. Temporary treaties in 'Everyone for oneself' (or Blindfold battles) are not forbidden. If two or three players unite for eliminating the fourth - it is not a game rules violation. But consider that this rule does not permit participating the same combat with additional characters or from one computer.
i believe the character can be punished only if violates main & multi participating in same battle.
well, i am not Keeper. just my view |

Imo it could go under loophole, you are not suppose to know who you play with and have verbal contact in blindfold. But maybe it is wishful thinking as they are kinda ruining it for the rest of us.
P.s. I don't mind non verbal agreements between people that don't know the identity of each other. But that an a fixed verbal alliance don't give equal battlefield |
| Only way to solve it is by increasing the amount of people per tournament run, which means it should no longer be every 30 minutes, but for example only every 2 hours (for blindfold tournament only). That would increase amount of participants by 4 and would it make a bit more difficult to determine your enemies before the battle starts. |
for Lord Khellendros:
sorry mate, i dont understand your point ..... |

Agree. Nonverbal agreement is very interesting, maybe most interesting part in blindfold tourney. But sometimes it is ruined by someome with multi or some friends playing together. So I always try to join when there are a lot of applicants, which allows at least two battles. |

yes, that may help, i think
also trying to do that, but it is quite rare occasion, at least at lv 7 where i play
there is one very annoying thing
independence of troops
heavy handicap for wizzard
wizard is not made for melee
i know independence has a reason but it is off balance a little i would say |
| @12: wizard can do might build) also competition is inside faction |

Independence is not at random. You have to control the troop to avoid independence. |
I love blindfold tournaments. The sheer chaotic nature of it makes it funny and a nice break from the organotic lives we live. After all what's left in life for a necro to love?
Still, i too have fallen under "weird" behaviours with people helping each other like they are communicating with each other.
This happens mostly at night (after 01:00 server time) battles when contestants arent that many. I have participated in a period when only 6 participants entered before battles started. And it was then, when these "weird" behaviours are at their peak. Maybe they were a band of 3-4 guildmates communicating via skype i supose? Sadly I only wait to see what really happened AFTER the blindfold ends... And even then, what's the point in reporting them...?
Another couple of times, fellow blindfold players have PM-ed me after the battle ended. I still dont even know how the hell did they find me!
Rewards are given per faction. But what's to get when they have already ganged upon you when they see that golden cup? These things must stay hidden. The tower however is a nice addition.
Anyway, these were the remarks of a blindfold/mixed tourney lover :)
PS: A big thanks to the unknown magic DE that tried to save my army using chain lightnings while 4 opponents were ganking upon me :P |
it's amazing how many people cheat in this tourament. in my last two battles, i have to fight the same barb-barb-knight trio, and they cooperate perfectly. ok, you can say the have non-verbal agreement, but not that convicing to me. the trio are from the same war clan, maybe admin could limit the number of players from one clan in the battle.
this tourament is so frustrating. it surely is my last time joining blindfold tourament.
anyway i think the line-up of troops for fireball to make sure the wiz's win is clearly staged. can i report them now without knowing their names? |
Independence is not at random. You have to control the troop to avoid independence.
how?
I still dont even know how the hell did they find me!
if you look at chat of that combat you can see who were your opponents

very easy to set it up actually
send clan mail, for people of certain lv in a clan to contact each other
make a skype room
choose some time when you can expect less opponents, ideally 1 battle
and kill sore bastards that doesnt have luck, and joined your battle
then in the end deal amongst themselves as you wish
most of you will get in 10% of your faction, and perhaps some of you get a medal
ruins the fun of everyone else, ofc
i like that idea, to make enlistment fewer, so there are more players in a pool
might help |

I face this too & want to know how the hell they come to know about the identity? |

how?we cant chat in BT?? |

Insert this with the battle id after it, you will be able to see who was fighting
