I cant find the original thread so I can see how I may have come up with that.
And what about this paragraph, is this a typo?

Email me at [email protected] by Monday, July 28 if you intend to participate. Email me again by the following Saturday with your representatives' accounts, and have them log onto the server to set up their appearances.

Doesnt it start on the 28th of July?

lol, lots of editing.....ok, I found the original thread, and I misread it, my opologies...it said you needed a scripter from each PW to contact you (which we have none) and is said we "could" have our own gani set.

I could represent for you if you need either of those. It isnt a necesity like Tyhm said but Ill help you out for this event if you want. Just send me a forum PM or message me on aim= whitzemann8

Darlene159 07-14-2003 06:16 AM

I dont know if it was posted anywhere, but do the people who win the events we run (those who are representing us) have to have gold/vip accounts?

Tyhm 07-17-2003 10:56 AM

Nope, free server

Tyhm 07-18-2003 02:05 AM

Yeah, even trial accounts CAN participate, though I wouldn't recommend it - if they lose their connection right before a match, it'd take a while to get themselves back up to speed.

prozac424242 07-20-2003 03:07 AM

Thym, I emailed you, but I think my question was anwered in a post on this thread: Playerworlds that arent open, (ie, are on the RC list, but not on the Graal server list that comes up automatically) cannot participlate? is that right?

Cause I own a server that is under construction, but could add rooms off my onlinestartlocal and such to hold a place for people to type in my playerworld's name, and participate.

Let me know, thanks

I wouldn't think they could considering those playerworlds don't exactly have a playerbase to call their _own_ yet :p .

[edit]
wow, this post sure was '1337' :D .

Tyhm 07-20-2003 12:29 PM

Yeah. You can't say "These 5 players are representing my server" if you don't have at least 5 players, and if you're not public you don't have players.
Soulblade tried to swing a technicality as he had 5 beta testers, but "Friends of the owner" is a lousy qualifier. Hardly fair.

Darlene159 08-03-2003 02:56 AM

I went back and read stuff, I remember reading something about going on the PW on a certain day to set outfits, but I cant find it, so when was this? And can we get times on when the participants need to be on the PW for each event for each day?
Sorry if this has been posted somewhere, but I couldnt find it

Amoun 08-03-2003 06:42 PM

I think they are going to be the reps that the kingdoms chose, not sure though.

Everything was suppose to be sent in on Friday I believe (this past friday), the games start on the 4th, and I dont even know what times to give people to be there :(

jacob_bald6225 08-04-2003 09:14 AM

=p maybe if possible you could kick off, or better yet, end graalympics with stefan and unixmad sparring?

Tyhm 08-04-2003 03:18 PM

Can't do the spar unfortunately - Stefan's out of town. We did kick it off with a spar between Angel, Unixmad and myself.

Regardless - The first event is Endurance, beginning at noon PDT, 3PM EDT, 8PM GMT I guess and 9 CET probably. I'm not good with conversions, there's a huge timer in the Graalympus Lobby. All events will be held at the same time on different days - Trivia tomorrow, Race Wednesday, Sumo Thursday, and Spar Friday.

Amoun 08-05-2003 03:27 PM

This is just a funny little thing me and DragonX were having a convo in the trading tables and the colosseum yesterday:

(at trading tables)
me - man these quests are really ****ed up, supposivly they got fixed but they arn't! >=|

DragonX - Well, you do know Tyhm scripted them

Me - Oh of course

(some other guy was there and he agreed) - Oh No wonder

Me - Graalympics sucked today

DragonX - yah, even at 3 month of planning it still was laggy hell and messed up x.x

Me - yah, I'm just gona avoid the Graalympics/Graalympus server if i don't make it in, it isn't worth the CPU memory being eaten up to play there ¬_¬. Though i do wish some of those shields/clothes/hairstyles would be put on kingdoms (like the cool black and white clothes, the white hair in a pony tail, the shield shield with a red cross).

DragonX - Ya, that would be nice.

(the rest goes off topic)

(convo on graalympus before this one)

Me - ahh DragonX how do you get hats? knux is ****in block the stairs and Jagen and Tseng don't have RC

DragonX - What??

----------------------
(earlier convo)

Me - whats up tseng, how are things going along?

Tseng - not very good when jagen asked tyhm how things were going to go down tyhm said : " How do you ****ing think " and when i asked if he want me to help he cussed at me and said " if you don't know you don't ****ing belong here! " (then he said something along the lines of the, tseng to me that is ) Tseng RC- wha? Tyhm RC - remove tseng right Tyhm RC - ban tseng right , Tyhm RC - delete tseng right.

Me - ouch that sucks.......
---------------------
(earlier convo!, lol yes!)
Me - Tseng will you please ****in either, ban or move knux somewhere?! he is standing there blocking the entrance to the colosseum! >:O

Tseng - I don't have RC rights anymore tyhm removed them after cussing me out ;-;

Me - blah....... What about jagen?

Tseng - him too ;-; same thing

Me - *copies and paste complaint to tseng, edits tsengs name to be Jagen, sends to jagen*

Jagen - I got my RC rights removed because of tyhm

Me - why??

Jagen - because i asked him how things were going to go down and he told me ' how do you ****in think ' and then removed them

Me - this is getting out of hand >_>

---------------------

Me - There is some guy interferring with others enter the colosseum and its HIGHLY irritating

Tyhm - that is technically impossible seeing as how you can't pk on graalympus (see how he assumes everything is pk >_> )

Me - no i don't mean pking, knux (acct to17 i think) is standing infront of the stairs to get into the colosseum, and since you scripted it for some reason so that we can't walk through other players, there is about 35 people stuck outside

Tyhm - though in that case it may be true...........

Me - I don't mean to piss you off or anything but ya, you shouldn't be mean and cuss at people who are just trying to help you like Jagen and Tseng........... *Logs off about 2 mintues later tired of the lag and goes back to kingdoms*

Ya so if you are wondering the point of all of this, its just to uhm, show you the true side of things? o.o I still think tyhm is a great guy and mabye he was just stressed but apparently his actions of late arn't highly thought of. :\

Tseng 08-05-2003 08:08 PM

I never had nor stated I had rights there (short of RC access) to begin with, hence rights could not be removed.

Python523 08-05-2003 08:25 PM

You did yesterday on Graalympus unless your memory evades you. Tseng i guess what you told me because my memory is faint is something along the lines of jagens signature, that he disconnected you or something, i would have to check my history to get the facts but it was along those lines.

I was helping tyhm, he in no way punished me, and I, in no way, complained to you about it

Well anyhow, forum pm if you didnt get it yet.

Tyhm 08-06-2003 02:25 AM

Yeah dude...I discon'd Tseng for getting in my way. NoPK zones are supposed to mean that players can't block stairs; the fact that they can indicates to me that there's a problem with the noplayerkilling command. I find it suspect that you believe I had 3 months to plan this: I had 1 week to get it all ready for the 4th of July, the a month to try and get pw admins on board. However, without Unixmad online to corroborate most of them just disconnected and/or banned me for wasting their time or something, which is why we have 4 worlds participating.

The Endurance Rematch Event is rescheduled to Saturday. I spoke to Unixmad and he's willing to put the prize up again, since Classic's win only cost him a T-Shirt. The same 4 competitors are invited; the original winner stands to win a second T-Shirt I suppose, everyone else a first T-Shirt and the $40 to their team's host.

Next year - because I do intend for there to be a next year - we should have an annoucement system and scripts that work. Humble beginnings and all.

Darlene159 08-06-2003 04:10 AM

I will probably have to be in the Saturday, or find someone else by doing another event on Npulse preferably if thats ok, because the person who was in it (Nightmare) wont be home, and the original winner only won the event to screw me by not showing up (Zido)

Tyhm 08-06-2003 05:10 AM

Sounds fair, but you'll be the alternate. In the event that Nightmare shows up, as the primary, he's in. If he then quits, that's it. If he doesn't show up, it's you; if you quit, you're out. If you log out, you're out. Endurance events work that way. I'll go more in depth with the rules this time around - since the definition of an endurance event is one where the key players try to stay online longest, logging off to take a walk isn't acceptable...unsticking yourself to get an autograph doesn't count...resetting your computer, or claiming to, doesn't count.

I'm really thinking of dropping the qualifiers for most of these events next time. Let people select any playerworld they want for home server, then open the door for a half hour and lock it, everyone goes crazy with the tug of war, last man standing's the winner bar none. You lose a lot of the Team NPulse unity if it's just a mass of people, but the trivia event certainly woulda gone smoother that way...just make an NPC to keep track of marbles and who submitted their reply first...*shrugs*

Which reminds me, Did daniel show up for classics represenative? My other account is Tsurugi and i was chosen as an alternative player in the event he didn't show up. So i'm curious to know if he did or didn't.

ok, sounds good to me,want me to email you the info, or do you have it (account and nick)

Tyhm 08-06-2003 07:45 AM

I still have it. His hasn't changed, and yours is kinda obvious. ^_^

Don't remember whether or not Daniel showed up...I gave up on emailing people when 1) three of the 7 bounced back and 2) I realized the events were listed in no particular order, such that I wound up emailing the spar people about endurance.

Amoun 08-06-2003 05:02 PM

Well I don't recall him showing up yesterday Either so i guess that makes me represenative for Classic then? Since my old account is Tsurugi. Though would i be required to log onto it for the graalympics or may i remain on this account?

lol, mine were in order, but I got 2 of them switched...I dont know where I got confused, but I thought speed was the 2nd event, and trivia was the third event...its all good though. I just hope Senator got my email, and knows he is up today

I saw Daniel on there both days. I dont see why he would not do it?

Matman58 08-06-2003 08:34 PM

What did the msg on graalympus server exactly mean,
"The event today have been canceled due to power outage."

Where was this power outage, where Tyhm is or Cyberjouers, or what. Just curious to know.

hoss 08-06-2003 08:37 PM

This is what Angel said:


Mass message:
A Power outage where Tyhm lives requires us to push back
today events to tomorrow. I could host them But I dont feel I could
do it well enoghn so we will wait for tyhm. He may come on today

Actually here is screens of what it says, it never said anything about tyhm sorry....

Matman58 08-06-2003 08:54 PM

1 Attachment(s)
and the rest of what she said....so I missed the mass msg thats why I asked. sowwy

Tyhm 08-06-2003 11:16 PM

Another day, another catastrophic miscommunication...
There was a thunderstorm, and it cut off my power while I was talking to Angel. So I told her if I can't make it today, here's the stuff to do it. Then she thought I meant that I won't be on today and I guess she freaked out, since I hadn't told her how to host it, so she cancelled it. Which is too bad, since the power did stay up after that, so I did make it to the Graalympics...only to find 3 of the 4 PWs had no reps on at all, not even their alternates, not even 5 minutes after the deadline.

So the race will be held tomorrow at the usual time, and Sumo will be held immediately after.

Darlene159 08-06-2003 11:25 PM

damn it, now I have to try and get ahold of these people again

Tyhm 08-08-2003 12:17 AM

***global msg from Tyhm_Admin: Your attention please: In 22 hours (that's 2 hours earlier tomorrow) the Final Event of the Graalympics will be held - The Great Spar. All public servers are welcome - even those who slacked off until just now. Have the manager email [email protected] in the next 12 hours to register - I'll need their accountname, then they can pick their representative at the absolute last second when the spar begins tomorrow.
***global msg from Tyhm_Admin: This is your LAST CHANCE at the $40 discount if your rep wins - and your rep gets a free TShirt out of the deal if he wins anyway, so everyone's happy.

Naturally for Classic I'll be looking for the events admin to choose the rep, and those of you who didn't wait until the events had already started to pick your representatives are in good shape...

Tyhm 08-08-2003 09:18 AM

James was supposed to find reps for G2K1 and G2K2. He then decided to take a nap instead.
G2K0 will not be participating as I have concluded the entirety of the player base is composed of barbarians of insufficient attentionspan to participate. (translation: they scared me off)
The Game Coordinators are picking the Classic rep, but if the primaries show up the primaries are still in.
