Can you conquer death: Voleria Edition - Registration Thread
Star Legends Help presents: Can you conquer death: Voleria Edition!
----Hello and welcome to the first official contest hosted by the Star Legends Help guild!! Star Legends Help is a small guild of players who hang out in the 'towns' of Star Legends answering questions about the game, socializing with others, and promoting a carefree environment. Check us out in my signature below!----
The idea for this contest came to me in a dream (and by dream I mean in blackstar...and by me I mean myself, Ardon, Silent, Javi, and Tameron). While discussing ideas for a contest, we decided that with the Voleria campaign being the much more difficult than all the others, a test of speed, teamwork, and the ability to stay alive would be the basis of this contest.
When is the contest?
- The sign ups will run till Friday, January 6. You have until 11:59 pm EST on January 6 to register your team.
- Once teams are registered, we will spend 2 days assigning time slots for the teams. This will run from Friday, January 6 - Sunday, January 8. Teams will have a chance to adjust their times to better fit their schedules
- The actual contest will run from Monday, January 9 - Sunday, January 15. You have until 11:59 EST on January 15 to complete your runs.
How do I compete?
- Competing is simple; the contest is TEAM based. Your team will consist of 1 operative, 1 commando, and 1 engineer. This is the only combination we will accept.
- Contestants will complete all 5 maps of Voleria (except for the last boss) and will be judged on their completion speed. The only catch is, deaths add to your teams total time
- The team with the fastest completion time for all 5 maps will be declared the winners.
- The winning team will receive 150k credits to be split between the 3 of them (50k per person for those who can't do math
). Second Place Team will receive 45k credits (15k each) and Third Place Team will receive 30k credits (10k each).
- STS has also thrown in a generous prize for the top 3 teams who compete.
1st Place - 100 plat PER PERSON and a custom forum title "Voleria Vanquisher"
2nd Place - 50 plat PER PERSON
3rd Place - 25 plat PER PERSON
Thank you to Sam and the other STS members for this generous donation!
How will the teams be scored?
- The fine judges of Star Legends Help will join your games (2 judges per game, thus the team limit of 3) and keep track of your time
- Judges will be positioned at the beginning of the map. This is to avoid getting involved in combat, and to see if people spawn at the beginning of the map should the engineer die (No plat respawns, see rules below)
- Times will be collected by both judges and will be stopped after each map. You do not need to rush between maps, your time will be saved, but we would appreciate a complete run through all 5 at once
- Deaths will add 30 seconds to your team's time.
- Time will be taken in hours:minutes:seconds. Should there be a tie between 2 teams, the team with the LEAST deaths will take the victory.
Contest Rules
- Only 1 character per account. No alts what-so-ever. Anyone found using an alternate account will be immediately disqualified and banned from future SLH contests. This is your warning. No exceptions will be made.
- No plat respawns. Not everyone has platinum. This is not fair to others. Anyone using platinum respawns will be penalized 2 minutes for the first time (accidents happen, for some people it's a habit) with an extra minute on top of the original 2 for each future occurrence (3 minutes, then 4 minutes, etc...will really add up, SO DON'T DO IT).
- No leaving the instance for ANY reason We understand things might come up in real life. However, as this contest revolves around teamwork and penalizes for dying, leaving an instance and then rejoining is cheating. We ask that you only sign up to compete if you have the time during the day to play straight through. If an emergency should arise, you can appeal to the SLH judges who will bring your case to me, and we will decide if we will move your contest time to another day. Leaving an instance and rejoining is a 5 minute penalty, and will also severely hurt your teams chances of winning since 3>2
- The 3 characters who begin the contest for a team must be the 3 to finish
- One a map in Voleria is completed, it cannot be revisited/restarted. Once a map is started, it must be completed to the finish. A map is considered complete when the pop up to advance to the next level is seen (0 enemies remaining)
- NO ELIXIRS MAY BE USED None. Zero. Nada. Do not use ANY elixir of any sort. This will result in immediate disqualification for your entire team.
Things to consider
- Each persons death count before the contest starts is recorded. We will know if you have died, and will use this total to compare to what our judges count. Do not try to lie to us that you didn't die, we will know one way or the other.
- If you cannot afford stimpacks, this contest isn't for you. As we cannot supply people with stim packs, nor can we monitor the amount used by other people, there is no limit. Come prepared.
