EntrepeNinja Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 FRIENDS! FANATICS! GAMERS! Allow me to play both sides of an imaginary conversation so you can get the skinny on Malifaux at OFCC this year! Alright, sure, but how would that work? See? You're (I'm) getting the hang of it already! Great! Wait, Malifaux? There's going to be Malifaux at OFCC? That's that one with the Zombie Hookers, right? Yup! We're going to Faux it up for reals. I'll be your Head of Games Rudy. You're an OFCC Guy? ... Kinda. I wasn't, really, but I heard that Faux wasn't gonna have a presence, and I said, "NOT ON MY WATCH!" Oh. Well thanks for that then. You're welcome. Okay, let's start with schedule.... Schedule for what...? FINE! Let's start with a brief synopsis. We're going to be doing five rounds of faux over two days, saturday and sunday. I'll be modifying the Wyrd Gaining Grounds tournament pack a bit, but for the most part it'll be run kinda like that. Depending on how many folks sign up, we're likely to have a 4 round GG style tournament with a round 0 Warm up and Grudge match. Players will be ranked in the following categories and fashion: Rankings There will be a trophy for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, as well as a "Wooden Spoon". Placement will be based on TP/Differential/VP. Painting There will be a player vote for best painted- between round three and final round on day two (during a break) there will be a chance to leave your best example out and try and get votes. Best Team If the spread allows us to have a team event, there will be an award for best team as well. Best Sportsman (Aka, the Wil Wheaton Award) Best sports will be awarded by player vote based on favorite opponent of the tournie. Raffle Prize support will also be raffled away, in true Malifaux Fashion, but card assignment and card draw. Okay, cool. NOW hit us with the schedule... Finally! Saturday 10:00 Sign in, Sign up, register, Tournament Pack Handout and request grudges. 10:30 Round Zero Pairings and Table Assignments. 10:45 First Flip for Round Zero 12:30 End Round Zero 12:30-1:30 Lunch Break 1:30 Round 1 Pairings and Table Assignments 1:45 Round One First Flip 3:30 End Round One 3:45 Round Two Pairings and Table Assignments 4:00 Round Two First Flip 5:45 End Round Two 6:00 Standings posted, and open play. (Depending on interest, there may be enforcer brawls and things here. It would be a good time to play games for achievement league.) Sunday 10:00 Check in, wake up, get caffeine. 10:30 Round 3 Pairings and Table Assignments 10:45 Round 3 First Flip 12:30 End Round Three 12:30 - 1:30 Lunch 1:30 Final Round Pairings and Table Assignments 1:45 Final Round First Flip 3:30 End of Final Round 3:45 Awards and Raffle Sounds Pretty Boss. What were those words you shouted about up there...? Grudge Match First come first serve. If you're first to ask for a grudge, you'll get it. If someone's grudged you before you can ask for one, you're dance card is all full, huckleberry. Round Zero Depending on attendance, round zero may end up being round one. We would have to get pretty huge to pull that kind of number, but presume it will act as Round Zero Grudge/Warmup. If the first round counts towards placing, you will know before table pairings. Lunch There's an awesome little farmer's market that was going on across the way last year. If it's still going its a great place to score some cheap lunch. Achievement League That's RIGHT! There will be a Gaslight Achievement League. In addition to being a blast, and rewarding ridiculous things, it will also be a chance at netting some extra prizes. TEAMS I didn't say anything about teams up there, but. BUT. OFCC has the words "Club Challenge" Baked right into the name! What kind of H.o.G. would I be if I didn't promote club unity and challenges. This will go down one of two ways: Triangle (Or trapezoid?) of Doom- If we're able to get a number of people that would allow an even, multiple of three, we can do the triangle of doom format, where teams are pitted against each other, and pair themselves off based solely on faction knowledge. (Teams wouldn't have to be all the same faction, but each respective player would have to stick to their declared factions). Teams would be ranked the normal way- TP/Differential/VP, and it would be accumulated by the whole team. (This could also work with a "doubles" setup, where you're just tied to one other.) (Format would depend on the specific number of folks signed up and showing up.) Wow. You said a lot of stuff in there. And yet, here I am still reading this post! I must be excited. You got anything else for me? Sure do! Because the event will be following the Gaining Grounds 2016 format (even if loosely...), I can tell you what the Strategy and Deployments will be! Round Zero: Guard the Stash; Corner Deployment Round One: Turf War; Standard Deployment Round Two: Head Hunter; Flank Deployment Round Three: Reckoning; Standard Deployment Round Four: Extraction; Close Deployment All games will be played at 50 soulstones. Kay, anything else I should know? Yup! But I think this is it for now. All models must be painted to a three color standard, and be based. I unlike a normal GG tourney, will be allowing Proxies/Conversions, but (and I'm putting my serious TO face on right now) they must accurately represent the model they are standing in for. I should be able to look at a model from across the table, hear what faction I'm playing against and say, "Oh, yeah... That's a such and such. Sure." I'll probably end up flipping the schemes closer to the date, and I do intend to post them online before the event. This is for two reasons: One, I hope it will speed up crew selection/creation. Two, As a tourney that's more about the fun and sportsmanship of it all, I like the idea that a player can do some homework on it, and get some of the confusing ones on the table to get used to them. ALRIGHT. That's it. If you have any questions, leave 'em here. I'll do my best to check in here frequently. Buy your tickets! Make me have to do a five rounder! Tell all your friends to come! Tell them "not owning a crew, or having anything painted, or knowing how to play Malifaux" isn't a valid excuse! Well.... maybe that last one...

McNathanson Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Oh no my heart just broke... I was counting on the Malifaux event bring Friday as in years past, and so I agreed to a trip leaving Sat evening... now I can't make this Sat/Sun event. I just missed the Breaching the Faux event, too... I'm going to go cry myself to sleep :(This looks awesome though, thanks Rudy for stepping up and making it happen!! <--- Sad NtK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I am definitely going to be making this. I can't say I'm familiar with what an achievement league is, though- can anyone fill me in or give a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntrepeNinja Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Basically, it's like a bingo style check list. There will be little qualifiers in it: "Flip the Black joker in the same duel as the red joker" "Play a game against each of the seven factions" "Win a game with no models left on the table" The more you unlock, the better you've done.

VonVilkee Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Many heard me announce loudly that I would play malifaux this year, however due to life events I won't be making it through Portland this summer. :( That said the team aspect would have complicated matters for me as the local club doesn't really play it any more...

Yarbicus Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I am going to everything possible to make it! Well, if anyone will have me on their team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntrepeNinja Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 If the teams work out, I'm sure there will be teams lacking, or other solo memebers coming in, we can create teams of fortune. Or Circumstance... Or something. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orkdork Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 So how many committed players do we need by when for this to be a sure thing? I haven't bought my ticket yet because of pants. But once I find my pants, I'm in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarbicus Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Well, it looks like I am in! Everyone else's chances of winning just got a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkieft Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 So how many committed players do we need by when for this to be a sure thing? I haven't bought my ticket yet because of pants. But once I find my pants, I'm in! I have not heard any updated numbers yet, but if my math is correct 2 plus 2-4 paid equals... lets see.... carry the one.... carry the one back because it doesn't go there.... and um.... 5ish paid? I think I heard the number 8 as a minimum for it to happen... but honestly a 8 player $50 2 day event seems a little... off.... I like the number 20 or so better.

Romes Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I hadn't paid yet - was wondering what the model was if we don't get enough paid attendees for the event. I'm planning on driving down for this, but would like to know by say the 28th if it won't be able to happen. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbusePuppy Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 It's cool, mang. If 40K players can paint a hundred models in a week, you can finish a handful for Malifaux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
