Mega-Dueling Tournament - Rules, Settings, Check List, and Sign Ups

[Lingchih]

I second that sentiment Meglo. The OP rules sound fine to me. And yes, of course I would pick Nief, if I thought I had a good chance of getting them. Otherwise, well... I might have to be more creative.

What? I'm faced with Baalz on first round? Maybe I'll try to "bend him to my will" so he'll drop at the last round (and use bribe if required)
Damn but one of us will get no learning curve in this tourny.

Since this is prone to be an interesting match I consider posting the major battle videos to my you tube channel (and maybe charge for commercials ).
AoE, Baalz, is that ok by you?

I agree that the rules should be kept simple and immutable. Simple and straightforward will help ensure that the tourny runs smoothly.

Hah, I would certainly be interested in seeing some of those battles. I think putting them on youtube is an excellent idea. In fact I encourage everyone who participates in this tourney to do so, and especially for exciting matchups such as WL vs Baalz.

You could try fraps. I never tried it, but it is my impression it's semi-popular. You can only record a certain length of time uninterrupted though without buying the full version, but if you had video editing software I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to combine several smaller videos into one larger one should the need arise.

The only one I'm familiar with is Camtasia, which offers a 30 day free trial. That might be long enough for a blitz. There are others, like CamStudio or uvnc. Look for screencasting in wikipedia for a more extrensive list.
I'd try uvnc if I had to use one, because it is purportedly fast, while camtasia is indeed quite slow.
