Variable tournies?
I thought this up when I was playing some AW. What if there was a tourney with a voting sytem? There are many fps titles with this multiplayer map picking system already. There could be one of these in a server with a couple of premade mod choices; and majority rules. It seems pretty easy to script, though I have no scripting experience.
Have a great day, thanks for looking at this post I guess.

I like this idea. It would allow a nicer circulation of mods, although, to piggy back off of protonitron, this should only apply to a couple or so tourney servers.

Reason being-It's not fair to the people who want a normal circulation instead of straight aikido 24/7. Especially considering the Qi restriciton tourneys. The white belts would be the only ones using this effectively. :| It's practically easier and simpler to just have ofc rooms.

No exploits from farmers on mods either, since they can't get a bunch of friends to vote for one mod because they have no say in the mods.
Clever right? Now when the idea goes 4.93, i'm going to be constantly beat up on by farmers.

I personally like this idea better. The only thing is, this should not be for all tournaments I think. It would be horrid if every tourney had to choose from every official mod. There should be a tourney for aikido-based mods (ABD, Aikido, Greykido, etc.), one for wushu/mushu mods (wushu, mushu, boxshu_mushu, etc.), one for mods like lenshu (ninjustu, lenshu, etc.), one for mods similiar to TK((note: this won't be too accurate because there aren't many mods out there that are similiar to TK)Taekkyon, ErthTK, RK-MMA, etc.), and finally, there should be a misc tourney (msds, jousting(all forms), crash-test, twinswords, etc.)

I support Qukslice's idea. With what I have said and your original idea, I think we have a great way to have tourneys. It could be similiar to UKE, who randomly picks moves, or it could go in an order. It depends on whether it gets supports haha. I don't know if you should make a seperate thread for this, but I support it nonetheless.

This idea is good of course, but it makes no sense for people to be complaining about their mod not being picked. They had no chance of it being picked before if they needed to join into the tourney to play it. I was thinking that the server should randomly pick from a list of mods if two mods tie in the list. Also how would people farm? If they have a bunch of friends in the server they will be able to farm no matter the mod. And there should be a limit as to how much a mod should be played, if people want to play with their friend they can do it on a private server.

I agree with what you're saying, but if that's the case, there isn't a need for these lobbys. People will just want to play the mods already there and it will continue to rotate accordingly. I am thinking that this idea is turning to the useless side. Why would voting be an option if nothing good will come of it? If you think about it, the current toruney lobbys are just better for everyone. Not to mention that this voting thing is asking for bugs.

I think its a waste of time to develop this.

I dont think thats unfair, thats the mod that the most people in the room want so its chosen, why does it matter if theyre all from the same clan?
There isn't anything wrong in doing tourneys with clan members, but it is unfair to have these servers up and have big clans taking them over. This is also a reason that this idea could fall into a pit. There are way too many flaws and I hate to break it to you, but Toribash doesn't run like first person shooters. Personally, I still don't see why it would be worth it to create a working system either because the way the servers work now is perfectly fine. I don't want the normal, fluid circulation going to waste, considering it could probably demote the moral of it.

Aye, I wish this could work, but I don't see how it could improve anything.

Chickster: I literally don't know why I did it.
I think (like said before) that voting would be abusable and buggy . My idea is not just picking a random mode from a list, instead should be a list of mods that the server will play in an order . For example : jousting ; judo ; wushu ; twinswords ... and when in the tourny were all games played of the list , it would start again with the first mod.

PS: sry for my bad english
Sorry but thats just like having a rotation, I would rather wait a few days for my mod to come into the rotation and play it for a week then to play it once every 5 tournies.

The list should have other modes than those in the normal rotation...
