The Kalizzaa Elite Challenge

[GoodSyntax]

The Kalizzaa Elite Challenge

In the spirit of open and fair competition, I encourage all guilds that have an interest in elite maps to submit a team to this competition. This is intended to be a competitive, yet friendly competition to challenge the best elite guilds to determine who is the top dog of elite. The intent is to foster healthy competition between guilds, while also showcasing that the best runners are capable of completing elite maps without elixirs, platinum revives, or Arcane gear/pets.

In an effort to be more inclusive, I am requesting that each guild send two 6 member teams. The first team can consist of Officers (or GM's) and Recruiters - this group will receive the more difficult part of the challenge. The second team cannot include any Officers but may include Recruiters - they will receive the easier part of the challenge.

Teams will be announced beforehand - so be selective in your teams to ensure that you are flexible enough to take on any challenge. All members of each team must be represented in the completed runs, you cannot have one or two members, "sitting this one out."

Arcane Items WILL NOT be allowed in this competition.


Prizes:
Total Prize Pool of 3.075 million gold! Platinum prizes will be awarded by Remiem...details to be announced with the challenge.
Detailed prizes distribution will be announced with the complete challenge details.

Top 3 fastest teams in each map will receive a prize.
Top 3 total guild times will also receive a prize.


Rules:

1. Each guild selects two 6 member teams, one team may consist of officers and recruiters, the second cannot have any officers but may include recruiters.
2. All runs must be completed "pure" - no elixirs (luck elixir is acceptable) or platinum revives.
3. No Arcane pets are allowed!
4. No Arcane items are allowed!
5. Each team of 6 must have every member represented in the final, fastest completed runs.

The Challenge:
Each team of 6 will have two elite maps to run. You may submit as many completed runs as you like, in whatever combination of teams you prefer, but only the fastest time for each map will be counted. The fastest time for for all maps will be added together to create your total guild time. Remember that all members of your team must be present between the two fastest runs.


Sign Ups:
Each guild can send one team, and one team only.

Please list Guild Name, Team A members and Team B members in the following format:

Guild:
Team A: PlayerA1 Warrior, PlayerA2 Rogue, PlayerA3 Sorcerer....6 members required
Team B: PlayerB1 Warrior, PlayerB2 Rogue, PlayerB3 Sorcerer....6 members required

Sign ups will be open until Friday 4/28/2014 9:00 AM EST.

Best of luck runners!

This is awesome! Was thinking we need something like this, and I the fact that you are organizing it makes is AMAZING!!!!

A few question.
1) I am not understanding the 6 member teams for 4 player maps? Does this mean for the final submission it should be:
Map 1: P1,P2,P3,P4
Map 2: P1,P2,P5,P6
---
2)When will you be announcing announcing the maps that we will be running as that may affect what players are submitted.
3)Can the same non-officer/recruiters be on BOTH teams?
4)When are you expecting these runs to take place so we can check schedules to ensure we have time for it.

Again, AWESOME!!!

1) Two teams with 6 players each...Team A: players 1-6, Team B: players 1-6. Maps will be announced as soon as teams are set.
2) I will announce which maps each team must run. There will be 2 maps per team. Team A maps 1 and 2, Team B maps 3 and 4
3) No, I want as diverse a group as possible. Basically, I want 12 different representatives per guild. The purpose is to engage as many people as we can in elite runs :-)
4) I will close sign-ups and announce the maps on Saturday 4/26/2014. Teams will have 7 days to submit their best times. I may extend the run time to 14 days, based on player/guild feedback.

I'll try to spread the word in Darksiders.
But I hv some doubts.
1) how can anyone be able to understand whether the elixir use was only luck and not anything else?
2) how will anyone see whether there was none plat revives in the run?
3) and last no arcane item and pet, who can check that they hv used it in whole run but swapped at the time of the taking ss?

1) Luck does not change a run to an Elixir run, only DMG/Armor/Combo and Plat revives do that.
2) See 1...
3) Teams are on-their-honor; however, if teams are suspected of cheating, their results will be disqualified, and the offending guild will no longer be allowed to participate in future challenges from me. I am kind of a numbers junkie, so if something is clearly amiss, I will call them on it....publicly.

1) I have never observed that sorry :P
2) ok understood.
3) ok so we hv to keep faith on contestants.

well done kalizza! a very good challenge to test all guilds with there team work!

Good luck to everyone who's participating in the competition!

[Kreasadriii]

Great Appreciation from me ^^
very nice challenge

[Anarchist]

I must admit this is a cool initiative. Thanks for putting this up i hope it rolls smooth

Edit: how will the teams be controlled to prevent cheaters goimg against the rules and using revives and arcane pieces?

Lol I had just asked this about revive and arcanes,which Kalizzaa hv already answered. Just read 3-4 posts above this one.
So i think as a contestant one hv to control self. Only mod/dev will be able to know whether one hv used arcanes or not.

[GoodSyntax]

Revives will trigger elixir run status, which will invalidate the run.

Arcane gear....well, you are on your honor there, but like I said, if I catch someone cheating, the guild will be banned from all future event of mine. I will receive some support from the Devs on this contest, so hopefully, it won't ever come down do it.

[Hectororius]

Thanks for this Kalizzaa!

And most players who run elites regularly can easily tell when players are using arcane pets/gear.

and Utmost Good Faith. Dont enter a contest you plan on cheating in. I'm pretty certain most guilds/players willing to participate in this challenge will welcome it and play by the rules and have fun doing so.

[Kellhus]

Hmm sounds just like the voleria comp we had in sl. Was wondering when someone would get around to this.
For me, the instructions are still unclear. Not understanding why we have six people in a four man map and what you mean by all must be represented. I wouod assume what was mentioned before map 1: players 1-4, map 2: players 1,2,5,6 but you said this is wrong? Also, any combination of classes? Lastly, i find the honour system here non existent at the best of times, i hope people follow it.

All the elite rec runners will win lol

Check the rules, this can not be bought ~completely~ with gear (No Mauls, No Arcane Sceptors, NO SAMS ...)

We will see how well the record runners do without those.

Still, the elite runners will definitely still win.

Probably from DM
