Tanki Online Flagball Championship

[WinggerG 0]

Welcome to the "Tanki Online Flagball Championship"!

 

Test battles are in the works.

This process is important for the actual Flagball Championship, for it sets the rules and the way of playing.

 

Test Team 1: kereyden, Mister_G

Test Team 2: GENERATOR2142 ('might as well try'), matlep

Test Referees: WinggerG, FederalBureauFBI, ProtegeAnu, micah7586

 

Concept (watch animation): Football (soccer) version for Tanks - 4 to 7 players a team and up to 4 referees (2 of which are linemen).

 

For interested Players:

 

- watch the animation of the "Concept"

- at least skim "Rules" and "Chat Terms"

- a team has 4 to 7 players: may have any weapon (bating Firebird, Freezer, Railgun) and any hull. Exeption: 1 player a team may use Firebird or Freezer

 

For Referees to know:

 

- read what players have to know

- read "Rules", "Chat Terms", "Fouls and Penalties" carefully

- use a Railgun and any greenish paint

- 1 railgunshot can be done without breaking the game

- evaluate the penalties appropriately, regarding the situation (exept not stoping after you break the game)

- panalties are those stated under "Chat terms"

- a match requires leastwise 2 of you. 1 in team blue, 1 team red. Additional referees are line men.

 

 

Rules

 

1. limitation of the flagball field (view picture)

- Field Line: MAIN LINE! Sets the actual playing area. Limited by grass and walls of the goal (may not be crossed)

- Wall Line: player carrying the flag may not cross line made by walls on the grass

- Goal Field: every player may enter field made by the wall of the goal in order to take or capture the flag.

2. if players are on the field they may shoot at all opponents, exept destroyed players not having entered the field again

3. you may not drive pointlessly into another player

4. the game chat is reserved for referees

 

Chat Terms

 

- "STOP" - players have to stop driving immediately.

Following "STOP" (if necessary name of the fouling player or team):

- "R" - player gets 1 shot with Railgun from referee

- "R2" - 2 railgunshots

- "YELLOW" - player gets warned

- "RED" - player has to leave the field (may also leave the battle).

- "GO" - players may continue the battle TIME IS NOT BEING STOPPED DURING THOSE BREAKS!

 

Fouls and Penalties:

 

1. violating the rules is considered a foul

^ penalty evaluated by referee

2. not stopping after referee breaks the game is consdered a foul

^ penalty: first time yellow card, second time red card

Like a soccer match in Stadium, but instead of a ball it is a flag, and instead of men it is TANKmen...I like the idea and maybe observants in the stands can watch the game to check for cheats and fouls.

[WinggerG 0]

1 reply thinking it is nice, thanks for that.

 

Says nothing about the others but I start liking it more and more. It's something different but has to be tested, first off.

 

Foul checking could be done by the aforementioned referees.

Spectators could get difficult, for the players being destroyed have to get back into the field via the "stands".

If there are tanks running around it could get distracting to them. Or vice versa.

Not to mention that they could "accidentally" destroy players.

 

A little more feedback here could be helpful.

Probably it will be realized sooner or later.

If you have the time to organise such a thing, I will not mind taking part in it. :)

 

However, some things about the idea isn't good:

-The drug control would be useless - either give all the players the ability to use drugs or all of them the ability not to and create no supplies games. It will be impossible to check that people are using the correct drugs.

-On top of that, do you have 4 people willing to referee with you?

-And are you sure about 90 minute long games - 30 minutes would surely be ok, no?

-And why make the flag keeper special?

-11 players isn't very good either - there's no need to be perfectly realistic, trust me, teams will find it impossible to get 11 players at one time - they are finding it hard to get 5 at a time in the world cup, let alone 11.

-Call it football, dude. Don't mention the word s*cc*r.

Most of USA would disagree with you. :|

Go play your handthingummajiggy. :roll: :P

 

Oh, I forgot - there's no-one to play against.

Great, I will organize it.

 

I played a little in Stadium today and have to agree.

After all I saw I would do it a no supply battle.

Referees, well 4 would be great but that will, refering to you, be a matter to people wanting to do that (I got no idea who would or wouldn't)

I for one would like to be a referee.

90 min or less. Well I would organize a test battle first of all. To check some versions of gameplay, let you say what you don't like and so on.

Flag Keeper gets useless without these drug rules, thats right.

11 players wouldn't work because it is 10 players in each team, including referees. Bottom line more than 7 is impossible, anyway.

Let's see how much players want to do that and have time.

 

(I mentions the xxxxxx word in case some might mistake it for football gg.)

 

All right, I guess I will use this topic to get some players, so I'll redesign the first post a little.

If you disagree with any rule I'll write, say it. Or if you have a better idea for something.

[MisterGeneral 692]

there's a world cup you know >_

[WinggerG 0]

there's a world cup you know >_<

 

Exactly, please read the first text completely.

There will be different rules.

 

Apart of that, what would be wrong about another championship, I guess there are a lot people wanting to play in the World Cup but couldn't enter anymore.

But again, I am trying to make it different.

[GENERATOR2142 17]

Sounds like a good idea! I might aswell try if i have time.

[WinggerG 0]

Sounds like a good idea! I might aswell try if i have time.

 

'might as well', 'if (...) time' gg.

It is actually a little serious, but if you show up (there will probably be 2 or 3 dates to choose from, so we can find a decent one), you are in.

 

Thanks for that, now we have at least 6 players missing and another referee would be great. As mentioned the other referee should know what he (or she) is doing.

[kereyden 1]

emmh could i participate?

[WinggerG 0]

emmh could i participate?

 

Of course.

 

As a little reminder, it is not supposed to be a regular battle, there will be other rules. I wanted to say that in case somebody did not read the entire text. These rules will be controled by the referees, so the players have to accept what they say (in the test battle you can say what you think, though).

[nuclearbom2 1]

Epic o_O

[WinggerG 0]

I will suggest something now and leave it to discuss untill next day (so everybody should be able to comment it).

 

Issue 1 - overall gameplay:

1. way: most simple thing: let the teams drive from one side to another, trying to get the flag, shooting the other team, getting the flag to their base. The usual battle way if you want.

But what I would like to introduce is a slightly different, more sportsy way.

2. way:

- team blue is on the red flag side. Vice versa. We draw by lot who will start with the flag. Let's say blue gets it

- referee gets the red flag, brings it in front of the keeper (in case we will have one, otherwise the player standing in front of the goal)

- referee releases flag --> game starts

- team blue tries to score

- if a red player returns their flag, and not earlier, the red team is allowed to get the blue flag and try to score

^ if the flag is not returned yet, the other team is not allowed to get the other flag

 

This should create a more dynamic (more xxxxx-like) game. Sort of what actual football is like.

 

Lots of text, but it is important. "Pardon our mess". (I shortened it a little, already)

So, what way would you prefer?

[nuclearbom2 1]

^Wow... I won't read that...

[WinggerG 0]

gg

I admit, it is pretty much. I am certainly not going to make you read it. But it is something of importance.

[Aero.v2.0 1,456]

I'll be a referee if needed, and i can also be a player. :P

[WinggerG 0]

Referee and player should work in the Championship (in case your country is playing you cant be referee, of course).

For the test battles, you want to be referee, great.

At least 5 players missing and referees are still welcome.

i would prefer ref, but :P I can do anything. I definitely need some times given beforehand though

[WinggerG 0]

I see but, as stated above, you can't be both in test battle.

Times will be worked out after there are at least 4 players in each team. It will probably be weekends. With some luck this one coming up, or during this week. Certainly as quick as possible so we get the actual Championship going.

[MisterGeneral 692]

any prizes?

 

- should some weapons or hulls be restricted to some or all players (probably to make it more sports like (forward may use one of these, defender one of those and so on)

rail/wasp or smoky/wasp

[WinggerG 0]

I am a regular player. Tanki Online hasn't given me any power to do so. gg

First we will have to do the test battle, afterwards I will take care of the actual Championship.

But probably some moderator seeing this could help me giving some crystals as a prize.

 

Weapons and hulls, I would like to discuss Issue 1 (overall gameplay) first. Please read the 1. site last post.

I for one prefer the 2. way. This would also cause different sorts of players like keeper.

[MisterGeneral 692]

no, i hate reading srsly! :(

[WinggerG 0]

Do you actually have an idea of what this is supposed to be? gg Therefor you should read at least the first post. But all right.

 

Issue 2 - players:

- Field Player (may use every weapon but freezer and every hull)

- Keeper (has to use firebird or freezer and mammoth or it's weaker version)

- every team must have exactly 1 Keeper. The rest Field Players

- Keeper may cross the line made by the wall of the goal and is not allowed to get too far away from the goal.

 

What would you change about that?

 

Don't forget Issue 1!
