Complete rules will be posted by Thursday, 2/19, for all those wishing to participate. You can post your account name you will be on that day so I may contact you to get in the channel.

Channel name: op DTHHC
Time: 2/21, 3PM Eastern, USEast, all are invited.

The prize next week will be: Your choice of The Oculus, a Wizardspike, or Shaftstop. Prizes may be adjusted should the need arise.

Good luck and hope to see you there!

[Mcsaladshaker]

I'll be back and i'll die again!!!!!!! WOO HOO

[MoUsE_WiZ]

Bah...stupid DSL dying...I wanted to play this time =(

[Naheet]

I might be able to play, I'd like to. Whisper me at *ladrNaheet or *ldrNaheet. Ill see if I wake up in time ;).

[IamTheTest]

I am down like Charlie Brown...errrr...I mean I would love to play. I'm still not awesomely adept to pvp or HC so if anyone would be willing to teach a willing to learn noob the basics I'd really like to be a skilled dueler not just a half-a**ed one with good gear. whisper me *zachs.

you did better than most of us. All i can say is if you had had clegs sword i would have put money on you, cause clegs is better because of the 50% chance to deadly strike which doubles your damage, and you more than likely would have killed matt, then had to have dealt with blah and you would have gotten him because your zeal wouldn't have split. You are skilled, you picked your spots and tried to kill so i wouldn't worry about the fact that you lost, just unlucky.
So you dont need to learn, best thing i can tell you, is in hardcore pvm or pvp life>>>>>damage. Who cares if you do 400 pvp if you only have 200 life,
just remember to find a balance of damage and life, because life is greater, but you do need to have enough damage to kill, while having enough life (and considering using pots) to tank a hit or two.

I know i had said i wanted to do it yesterday and i didnt go but well..things came up..but anyways id like to do it next week *PsYcHo.u[N]

[mali]

I WANT to play, but unfortunately for me, that time works out to be in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday... about 5am I believe (I might be wrong there - I'm forever mucking up the time difference!!!). However, if there are enough people from the Australasian area, I would be happy to organise one (and MF my buttcheeks off so we have prizes!)... post or msg me!

OR - alternatively: Conner - stay up REALLY late one night and do a Thunder-Down-Under Ironman!

[Dahkar]

Im in RaSaDa on east

[ConnerMacleod]

LOL Mali, man that sucks. I thought about all you poor guys on the opposite side of the world, but no way I'm gonna stay up that late. LOL

Since there is a whole week until the next Ironman, we have some time to discuss here.

Change #1 to this Ironman will not be a winner takes all, there will be 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. The three prizes I mentioned will all be available as prizes respectively. 1st place gets first choice and so on. So even MORE of a reason to go hone your skills.

Important: This week will also start my Tournament of Champions Sweepstakes. We will schedule an Ironman for Saturday and I'm toying with another one for late Saturday night or Sunday (for those that can't make it to the first one). The top 3 winners in each day get to do battle the following weekend (we can work the time out for everyone) with 2 Alternate spots open for 4th place finishes on Sat or Sun. The Prize will be very nice...

The Prize for the 28th or 29th: (for those that cannot wait)
1st Place: Unique Monarch aka Stormshield
2nd Place: Set Mythical Sword aka Bul-Kathos Tribal Guardian


Wet your appetite for destruction any?

[Matt]

On the tourney of champions you should garuntee the top 3 spots from each game, and then let the #4 from each ironman duel and winner gets the final spot. Even If i dont win the ironman, or even get in the champions tourney i love ironman contests and you have become my new best friend. *dowdevil *devil_hatred whenever.

[lasthero]

dang stormshield and bulkathos :surprise: matt dont go to india help me again lol :P

[HelzCaretaker]

count me in if I can remember that far in advance, anyways don't know channel or time :(, but msg me on HelzCaretaker, HelzDestroyer, x-treme-team or fp-annhilator (I can post more accts to try and msg me on if you wish ;))

[Matt]

Helz, try just posting friday nightish, and also, channel and time will be posted again before the ironman i assume, and what we did last time was just show up, Conner didnt whisper anyone or anything, so you dont really need to post an account (for anything i saw, maybe Conner wants them for something) Just show up in the designated channel, which will be posted here I'm sure. Good luck!

-Matt

[ConnerMacleod]

Actually I DID /w everyone that posted their accounts. Some of you just happened to show up. I only want them to be able to /w you if you are online and make sure we can get a full game. I know that if I don't remind people, it will slip their minds.

I got one helluva nice offer on that SS so I'm busy locating another one. It's out as the end prize for the Tourney for now, but I am positive that I will have something just as nice, if not another one by contest time two weeks from now. The things drop kinda regular anymore.

Friday nights are good for me too. I know the 28th I am tied up in the afternoon so that tourney will be TBD for time and place.

[slick4hire]

I would love to participate, but I am tying the knot on Saturday. Someone accused me of having a head injury for doing this...

Anyway, I'll be thinking of this when I am basking in the heat (relatively speaking, compared to WV anyway) in Florida.

:lol:

[Raven-Hood]

hey count me in, but umm whats an ironman again? Is that where everyone hits level 9, makes one town stop, and does an all out pvp no holds bar slaughter? Can anyone post a couple standard good ironman builds too? I was thinking a thorns pali on crack with smite or maybe a psn vine druid with a raven and sage and wolf or even a necro that has serious dentures.

Damn, I'm going to be in Canada for the SS/BK one...

Conner’s Complete Rules

DISREGARD EVERYTHING YOU’VE READ BEFORE, THESE ARE THE OFFICIAL RULES – VARIES SOMEWHAT FROM PREVIOUS COMPETITION

1) Private game, as many as we can get to join up. All characters are created with names of MY choosing. You will be assigned a name in the channel.
2) You MAY PLAY ANY character class
3) Four (4) Random waypoints will be given to everyone at the beginning of the game. Everyone will receive the same waypoints.
4) All players will unlock their bodies at the start of the game.
5) No restrictions on levels. When the last person hits level 9, End Game rules begin!
a) At level 9, you will have a selection of several weapons available from me (the host) in town and receive some gold to go shopping/gambling.
b) The weapons will include Clegs Sword, Rixots Keen, or Knell Striker. First come first served. Your armors/jewelry are completely up to you and your finds.
c) Once you receive your weapon, you have 5 minutes to shop or leave town - no camping. Camping town gets immediate disqualification. Camping a waypoint is ok.
d) ONCE YOU SELECT A WEAPON, YOU CANNOT CHANGE. You may NOT trade with others. Know the gear beforehand, know your build.
6) All drops are public domain, and stealing drops is allowed.
7) You MAY kill Andy, but may not proceed to Act 2
8) If you die to a monster you are immediately disqualified, so be careful.
9) Last man standing at the end is declared the winner.
10) If you leave the game you are disqualified. Make sure your connection is good and computer is running fine (I recommend reboot before joining up).
a. The only reason I’ll allow for leaving is LAG. If you lag mid-game, you must tell the referee (me) and it will be determined if you may leave. You will have 15 seconds to rejoin the game if you must rejoin. Once you hit level 9, however, you cannot leave for ANY reason.
11) You will get 10 seconds to return to town to revive a merc, but only if NOT as a result of PvP combat. You must notify referee if you need to revive.


End Game Rules:
1) Any method to survive is allowed, except returning to town for more pots or healing from Akara. After Level 9, you will have one opportunity to purchase as many pots as you can carry.
2) You may team up with others in the game at Level 9. However, you cannot party with those people in your teams. This allows accidents to happen.
3) Only One person may be left standing to be declared the winner.
4) If you loot someone and choose to use the weapon you looted, you must drop your old weapon on the ground.
5) All salvaged gear is to be returned to the referee at the end of the game.
6) No yielding, timeouts, or quitting. You may do a Kenobi (stand still and let them kill you).
7) A 20 second loot break (or time-out) will be given once a person has fallen. Referee will declare time-ins and time-outs
8) Final dueling area will be declared by the Referee at the appropriate time, all people will proceed to that area.
9) No reviving of mercs once everyone has hit level 9.

Twinking (Upgrading) Bonuses:

The only reason for returning to town will be to upgrade certain items (if you find) in the game. You should print this section (or memorize it) so you know what to be on the lookout for in-game.
1) At Level 9 you get the weapon of your choice. A choice of Clegs, Rixots, and Knell are available, but first come first served. You do NOT have to use any of these weapons and may find your own in the game.
2) Certain questing items returned to the Referee earn you a Cathan’s Ring. These items are the Horadric Malus, Wirt’s Leg, and the Scroll of Inifuss.
3) Returning certain items to the Referee will earn you an upgraded item. There are a limited supply of each. These include:
a. Ethereal Superior Leather Gloves – Death’s Hand (2 available)
b. Ethereal Superior Sash – Death’s Belt (3 available)
c. Ethereal Superior Leather Boots – Gorefoots (1 available)
d. Ethereal Socketed Superior Buckler – Pelta Lunata (1 available)
e. Ethereal Superior Heavy Gloves – Bloodfists (2 available)
f. Ethereal Superior Wolf-head with +3 Werewolf, or Ethereal Superior Barb Helm with +3 Shout – Biggens Bonnet (1 available)
g. Ethereal Rare Scepter with +3 Might – Cleg’s Sword with -15% req jewel in it (MUST BE RETURNED AT END OF DUEL)

Rewards:
1) The Oculus, Wizardspike, and Shaftstop.
2) First place gets first pick, second gets second pick, and third place gets last pick.
