MVL Bonus Round

Voluntary Round

from GalCiv2 Forums
Welcome to the start of Season 3 of the MVL.  We are beginning with a voluntary Bonus Round while we take a "break" from the normal routine. It may be best described as a "Free For All". This round will proceed differently from other rounds as follows:

There are no team points available in this round, neither Base Points or Team Points. 

All points earned are Individual Points only.  As such, the first 4 submissions will each recieve 1pt.

Score and Speed bonus points will be handed out as normal (4 highest scores and 4 fastest games).

Since this is a voluntary round, each Player that participates will automatically earn 1 bonus point.

This is also the first round that will incorporate GC:Twilight of the Arnor into the MVL. A player may choose to use TA as long as it is a MV game.

FREE FOR ALL (MVL BONUS ROUND)

On a Tiny Map with 9 opponents aiming for a Technological Victory (note that for TA players, an Ascension Victory path will also be accepted).







The Bonus Round will end at 11:59:59PM Forum Time of Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Great. :) Now I just hope my strategy doesn't backfire.

Can we open a new thread, in an attempt to get some new players? I doubt any new players will just wander into this thread... I was barely paying attention myself, having skipped on the bonus round.

Can we open a new thread, in an attempt to get some new players?

Probably a good idea. Also in an attempt to retain some old players that have yet to confirm.

I haven't done a exhaustive check but it does seem that there are at least a few MVL regulars that haven't yet confirmed their continued play.

This potential loss of players was probably an inevitable result of taking a break. I still think the break was beneficial just to keep people from burning out on it. The thing is that people do come and go and there's really not anything to do to stop it.

The only thing we should always strive to do is to realize that an ebb and flow is only natural and try to encourage folks to realize that it's OK to come and go as the demands of real life change.

The biggest thing is to try and make sure people understand is that leaving is no big deal and therefore when and if their situation changes they can should feel perfectly comfortable in returning.

It is only natural that people might feel that they let folks down in some respect and therefore be inclined to once having left, never return. It's this natural tendency we should try our best to overcome by making it as clear as possible that former players are always welcome to return as the situation that caused them to leave changes.

I think a key point is also to convince less experienced people to join and at the very least give it a try.
It's all too easy for people to wander into the thread and be intimidated by some of the discussions and posted scores (not mine of course :p )

Thank you very much Mumble for the Recruitment post; I was about to start one when i logged in this morning (ok, actually afternoon becuz I overslept, grrr LOL) anyhow...

in the meantime I am going to create the Draft Post Season Three MVL Draft

The above names I posted were confirmed, and also I got confirmation from AF_Ronin this morning. I will be contacting the individuals in the recruitment thread as they come along.

We have lost some of our former members...some do to RL (Motti and Dystopic) and others for whatever reason but in comparison to Round 8 we aren't really in that bad of shape. it looks like we'll end up having gained anywhere from 4-10 actually new players going into this round/season so that is very cool and will definitely shake things up.
