Players League - Sign up for August

Player’s League:

The PL is a series of games which is created by players for players. The League starts every 1st. of a month a new game on different maps, with the players that have signed for the next game. Nobody needs to play every game. The winners of a match get points for the hall of fame. Direct any query or question you may have to miech, WildLobster or Xarus - the current PL organizers.

Here you can find the hall of fame: click

The Player’s League starts in July in a new season. A season runs for six games, after the six month we get the winners of this season. The winners get following prize:

  • Winner gets 20.000 Gold and two months High Command for free
  • Second gets 10.000 Gold and one month HC
  • Third gets 5.000 Gold and two weeks HC

  • It's not allowed to give right of way (RoW) or higher to players outside a coalition/alliance.
  • You can leave a coalition. When you do, an automatic NAP is in place of 24 hours after you left a coalition.
  • You can make a NAP between two nations, but this must have a runtime or an exit condition such as ‘until day X’ or ‘48 hours after cancelling’.
  • To avoid hidden alliances it’s not allowed to make military plans with a NAP partner, i.e. NAP partners must not use your land to attack other players and vice versa.
  • You are not allowed to abuse NAPs in such a way that you use an ally’s province to attack a NAP partner of that ally.
  • We are all gentlemen, respect your opponent and treat people as you would want to be treated yourself!
Game Settings:

  • Each round starts on the first of a month at 08:00 am CET.
  • The time data is the game time. (See World Herald - daychange is 01:00 CET)
  • It's not allowed to enter a game after 48 hours. The password will be changed after this time.
  • Each game runs 30 days and will be ended after day change from day 30 to day 31. Winners are the players with the highest victory points from the World Herald.
  • If a player or a coalition reaches 60% of the victory points, the game is won and will be stopped by support.
  • Game language is English.
  • The nations will be randomized.
  • Players must have a rank of level 10 or higher

General information:

‘Standard rules’ are rules that are enforced by Bytro and the PL organizers. We alone choose what punishment rulebreakers must face, be it an in-game punishment or even expulsion from the game or the league.

‘Honor rules’ are rules that are not necessarily enforced by the PL organizers, however with extreme offenses we reserve the right to punish players for violations such as multiple hidden alliances or extreme cases of NAP abuse. We encourage players to be true to their word and not break a deal made with other players. If you’re not true to your word other players won’t trust you. Be careful when making honor deals with others.

Do not spam the World Herald with questions or accusations. Contact the PL organizers or refer to the rules that are always posted on the forum including information about when you’re allowed to attack.

The PL is organized by the following three players: @miech, @wildL SPQR and @Xarus if you have questions feel free to contact us or leave a reply here.

(PL = players league | NAP = non aggression pact | ROW = right of way | SM = shared map | AI = artificial intelligence | HC = high command)

This strategy denotes a mid-range level of skill. Get back to me when you actually master the game and can get a win for all your allies instead of using them and spitting them out.
Cocky, but you have no idea who I am or how much skill I bring to the table...

Mid-range? Sure, why not. If you think that, be my guest and do better. You say it would go better for me to split my victories with my allies. Who said I haven't? I may use others as pawns, but they aren't necessarily my allies. And I would ask you this: "Why should I share my victory with others that barely contribute to the win?"

A true warlord has no equal. And in most matches, I find none. I chose to call myself "Diabolical" for a reason...and it has nothing to do with good vs. evil as many would imagine. It is symbolic for my prowess in strategy and problem solving.

I'm not sure, but I wonder if I've faced you before. If I have, it was long ago when I was relatively new and learning the mechanics of the game and unsure as to the best course of play. In fact, I'm pretty sure I did face you once...and in that match, if memory serves, you refused to be my ally because of a commitment you made to another from outside the match. That would be fine for you, I guess, but not for me.

If you are who I think you are, you actually beat me when my other enemy took advantage of your loyalty. Your fake diplomacy lulled me into a bad position. For that, I would congratulate you for your deception. I assure you, I've never been fooled, since. So, for that, I should probably thank you. Treachery is a great teacher.

But I'm no longer a new or fairly-new player. Now, I am a master and were we to face each other again, the end results would be different. As it is, I'm having difficulty with trying to manage terrible allies in the tournament. Presently, I've fought off and then turned the tables against four different nations, all while my allies have gone off in other directions and when all four enemy nations were allied against me and tried to coordinate a broad-axe strike to find a penetrable weak spot.

That being said, I'm not delusional enough to think that I can win the match within the 30 day deadline. I would need at least a couple more weeks to pull off what would become an insurmountably victorious path. As it is, with just nine days left, I've taken too many damages to completely destroy my enemies in this short time, left.

However, I am working a strategy that yet may get me in the top three just in the nick of time. You see, I don't give up. And that's probably one of my greatest strengths in this game. Maybe you and I will face off in the next match...assuming you don't quit the tournament before August.

In the meantime, if you are so gifted and so superior, why not take a little time to jot down what you would do differently than I have described so that my "mid-range" strategy can be improved to "upper-level"? Perhaps you have a better strategy, so spill the beans, if you can.

I await your magnificent strategies.

It seemed like such a waste to destroy an entire battle station just to eliminate one man. But Charlie knew that it was the only way to ensure the absolute and total destruction of Quasi-duck, once and for all.

I like when they say this. And many of them say it, every day. Until the fight starts :D

@Xarus [the OP]

if your thread here needs to be pruned and kept free for sign-ups only, that can be done.

Yea, too much distracting. Anyway, I want to apply for the august match.

What, don't you like spam? It tastes great, fried. And if there is one thing found all throughout these forums, it's fried spam.

OK, at the end of the first season we open a discussion thread for the future rules, but now I think we need to play and have a look hat will be happens on the 22 player maps.

I say stick to the same rules (but clean them up for the ambiguity questions posed).

No Gold. Three members maximum per coalition. 24 hours cooling down period post-coalition.

However, the world map match has proven that the 2 and 3 day peace period at the start is very bad. There should just be a single day to prepare with peace enforced since this is a limited-time match. Also, AI's probably should be allowed to be invaded immediately.

Not at all. Couldn't disagree more. But if at all possible, instead of a day change +5 hours start time, a start time at day change makes better sense. That first 5 hours ironically does make a difference in the beginning, but not so much later on. Makes it less confusing too.

Sign me up please!

Well, I disagree with you and stand by my point. There are 30 days in a match -- at most. There are lots of players and lots of coalitions...thankfully, no giant coalitions. But that only leaves 27 - 28 days to conquer the world (or Europe with the next match). Ending up in the top three is easier if you have the opportunity to take on more opponents. Sure, few can conquer the whole map within 30 days (i.e., with 100 players on the world map), but the highest score can still benefit those few who would wisely use the earlier war expiration date.
