AFK Box Tournament (sign up for teams!)

[Unholy_Gibbon]

                                
We have our winners!


The winners of the April-May 2012 AFK box tournament are.... Monkey and the Bitches! (In case the massive picture above didn't make it colossally clear enough)

Congratulations to MrMonkey91, MissTheSofie, Nikita_Mile and Turtleman918 who now have gloating rights and can profess that they are the champions (until the next comp).

I'd like to thank all the players who participated to make this such a success.
We will most likely rerun this tournament in July with some new rules and even more players/teams.

Thanks again and until next time, happy capping!

As we all know, afk boxing is an integral part of the opticraft server. Many a time I've returned to my computer moments after posting a "brb" comment and to my dismay (and my captors glee) I find myself trapped in a box. With this in mind I suggest we add a competitive element to this tomfoolery.

Now the premise of this is simple. "Capture" other members of the opticraft server while they are afk.
There will be a points system which will be based on the rank of the subject caught, with multipliers for the complexity of the box.
The points system is as follows:
Guest - 5 points
Member - 10 points
Recruit - 25 points
Builder - 50 points
Crafter - 150 points
Operator - 50 points
Admin - 1000 points
Owner - Win
This will be a team based game with teams consisting of a minimum of 1 player and a maximum of 4. However, I'd encourage you to join an existing team rather than forming your own (don't want this to just be a 1 man free for all).
Teams may consist of any variety of ranks. However, at the end of the contest, teams will have a penalisation based on what their rank is worth in afk points.
E.g. Our team would have a -225 point deduction as Builder + Builder + Recruit + Operator = 50 + 50 + 25 + 100 = 225.
The rank deduction will remain the same from when the team first signed up, e.g. if noobies becomes a builder during the contest, the penalisation will remain 25.

The list of teams here with there team names will be listed here, so far we have:

Your team may capture the same person more than once (but not on the same day). You may not ask your friends to pretend to be afk so you can capture them. No building afk boxes in spawn. No building afk boxes that disrupt/destroy part of someones build. No building of afk boxes round invisible ops.  <---Removed this rule as of 03/05/2012 21:53 GMT. You may only use the /tp command in this competition. You may use the natural surroundings to create a complex/epic box Images must be either uploaded using the "Insert Image" function in which case they must not be larger than around 900x516 OR they can be uploaded using a link to a photo album e.g. photobucket or imgur In order for you to gain points from a box, the occupants name must be visible (epic afk box example would not get any points as it does not adhere to this rule). Any breaking of the above rules will result in a 50 point penalisation or a disqualification for repeating offenders. The multipliers are as follows (examples below): x1 for basic afk box x2 for complex afk box x5 for epic afk box +1 to multiplier for how many fellow team members you have posing next to the box. +1 to multiplier for each member of an opposing team. +1 to multiplier for each extra capture in a single box. Basic: Complex: Epic: For the basic example, operator = 50 points x 1 = 50 points. For the complex example, recruit = 25 points x 2 = 50 points For the epic example, operator = 50 points x 5 = 250 points If there is a dead heat at the end of the contest the winner will be determined by highest number of captures. Well folks, that's the tournament. So what are you waiting for? Sign up today! Contest begins 20th April, ends May 31st. Team with the most points after deduction wins, or if anyone catches optical... EDIT: Contest start date delayed as more teams needed. Contest now starts Monday the 23rd.

crafters should be worth more than ops ^^ especially because we usually work in worlds you can't build on 

[gameguy96]

héhé my present. nice idea btw

[Unholy_Gibbon]

Yeah I was thinking about that but then ops are often invisible too. What figure dyou reckon I should set it to?

"The Crafters" - possible team name? Hint hint nudge nudge

Thank God for our friendly neighbourhood grammar nazi.

Just classic I'm afraid, although perhaps if it's successful we'll branch into SMP.

And for it to be successful you need to start forming teams!! I'll be spreading the word on the server today and hope to see the rest of you do the same, lets get this competition some momentum.

Team name: The Barbra Streisands.

I guess is unfair! afk operators are often invisible and only another operator can catch him so i think that 100 point for an operator is unfair =P

No, I like it that was because I don't want to be in a box when I'm back from afk.

I've edited the rules to disallow capturing of invisible ops.
