The tournament will consist of 2 or 3 half hour rounds. The first team to win two rounds is victorious. See the BoW guild forum topic for further questions and discussion.

Evil: Abba Variola (Tinker Ball) Evil Mechn (Mikey 125) Fat Cleric (King Azoun V) Feanor (Radaghast123) Kaiba Mafein (Kyle Kellam) Lonely (Lonely From Planet Radio) Nerev the Spider (Feeble Minded) Siril Ze Cleric (soccerstud2588) Soul Taker (D3STARD) - left early Tremain (Tremmie2) Vashard Ironsourn (Felrazor) - left early Zoo Keeper Remixed (crips) boom vegetable (vegetable) Good: Amelia (Arienne) Birbag Walf (Agalf) - left early Chest Rockwell (Aramil D'orn) Jen The Reaper (The Goddess Jen) Lobo (Shamen) Melian Xilo (re-dead) Michael LaFisca II (lafisca) Mrs Trapp N Stabb (jam master) Nahmid Bour (Kollos) Ra'asiel X (Alieus Neus) Xithilum (-Ravor-) Zeros Spellstrike (Zeros_Reaper) Zincau Nightshadow (hakanubis) The session started out a bit chaotic with everyone leveling up their characters. This first tournament was for 20th level characters, so it took a while to get started. (Future sessions will also feature 12th and 16th level.) I stupidly didn't password the server, so we had a bunch of unregistered players who wanted to join the fun. We eventually got the teams assigned and the players voted on which map they wanted for the first round. They picked Halls of Conquest, which is an indoor map with a large room in the center and a few other rooms and hallways off to the sides. The Good team started the round with an early lead. They got up to 10 points when Evil had only half that. However, Evil quickly rallied and evened the score at 19 points. By mid-round, Evil was leading 60 points to Good's 45. The margin only widened, and Evil finished the round with 123 points to Good's 85. Evil had more Clerics and archers than Good, and that seemed to make the difference in the large center room. For the second round, the Good team wisely worked together to pick The Labyrinth as the arena. It's another indoor map, but it's fairly small with lots of corridors and corners. It helped Good a lot, because Evil's archers had no room to work, and the spellcasters were limited. Consequently, the second round was even more exciting. Both teams started neck and neck, and the score was tied at 20 points each. They traded points back and forth and were still even at 32 points. Evil surged and got the score up to 47 points to Good's 40, but Good quickly came back and evened the score at 60 points. The lead went back and forth, and by 78 points, the score was still tied. With only a few minutes remaining in the round, Good took the lead by a couple points, but Evil was able to tie them again at 85 points. In the last minutes, Evil racked up kill after kill, and finished the round with 103 points to Good's 90. With Evil winning both the first and second round, a third round wasn't needed. The Evil team won the first tournament! Normally, the winning team is rewarded 3,000 XP/GP and the losers get a 1,000 XP/GP consolation prize (which is added to each player's XP Bank account, so they can transfer it to an ongoing BoW character), but for this first tournament -- and first event of NWCon -- each prize was increased by an additional 1,000 XP/GP. Each member of the winning team also receives an entry in a prize drawing that will award custom appearances to three players at the end of NWCon. This will enable them to play on the ongoing BoW server as an Orc or Lizardman or any humanoid race they choose. (It's a cosmetic change; appearance only.) Players may win multiple entries by participating in multiple tournaments. Overall, it was a fun session. Good was a little frustrated with some of Evil's anything-goes tactics (runshooting archers and spellcasting Clerics with Improved Expertise), but Good did an amazing job during the second round. It was certainly challenging getting everyone to work together; but, when they did coordinate their tactics, they overcame some impressive opposition. However, in the end, it wasn't enough to overtake Evil's strong characters. I believe Amelia (Good) was the only character to achieve a Savage Bloodfrenzy during the session; she racked up an impressive string of kills. There were a few team kills, but Mrs Trapp N Stabb (Good) stood out as a melee rogue who managed to twice accidently sneak attack her own team mate. I think everyone had fun though. The second BoW tournament is scheduled for 10:00pm ET, Saturday, Oct. 24. There's still a couple slots available. You can register for future NWCon BoW tournaments and other exciting NWCon events here.

Evil: 76.0 points (76 kills) Good: 84.8 points (85 kills) This had to be the best NWCon tournament so far. The action was intense, and both teams had amazing teamwork. The first round was close the whole time, and Evil squeaked ahead in the last minutes. The second round was equally close with the lead trading back and forth. The score was so close, I was worried we were going to end up with a tie. Good made a comeback and beat Evil by only 2 kills. The third round was a great capper. Good was able to take a small lead and hold it. Evil kept pushing and caught up a couple times, but Good was able to hold their edge and win the round by just a few kills. Good came back from losing the first round to win the tournament. Each teams' rewards were increased by 1,000 XP/GP in honor of the fine job by all.

During the first round, Evil led most of the time by a very small margin. Good kept catching up, but they just couldn't overtake. The second round was a squeaker. Evil and Good kept trading the lead back and forth. When the 30 second warning sounded, Good was leading by just a few points. In the very last seconds (literally!), Evil scored a couple kills to win the tourney. It couldn't have been closer. The last NWCon BoW tournament will be held at 8:00pm ET this evening. The custom appearance drawing will be held tomorrow, Monday at 8:00pm ET in the Inn of War. Three custom skins will be given away; each NWCon winning team member received an entry.

Evil: 71.3 (73 kills) Good: 64.5 (56 kills) This was an amazing match with the lead trading back and forth between each team throughout every round. Besides a couple mages and corner sneakers, most players were tanks -- with lots of Dev Critting. The Evil team had the lead for most of the first round until the last few minutes when Good stole it. The score see-sawed back and forth and Good took it in the last seconds -- winning the round by 0.4 points. Round two was much like the first one with Evil leading most of the time. Good kept catching up, but couldn't overtake Evil. This time, Evil had the push at the end to keep their lead and even increase it a bit just before the buzzer. With each team winning one round each, the third round was a scorcher. Rewards were increased to 40,000 XP/GP for the winning team, and 20,000 for the losers, so everyones' blood was pumping. Evil started with a small lead, but Good quickly took it and, unlike the previous two rounds, held the lead for most of the round. Evil caught up with about 10 minutes remaining, and the lead was trading back and forth literally kill-by-kill. With Evil leading by only a couple points, Good got a little desperate at the end and threw themselves at the enemy, which allowed Evil to rack up a few last second points and insure the win. The whole tourney was razor thin close, and everyone seemed to have a blast. Good game!

Evil made a strong push and nearly caught up, but Good squeaked out a win. The second round was a big change with Evil smartly defending hard-to-attack positions on the map. Good never got their act together, and Evil easily won. Evil used the exact same strategy on the last map; and, unfortunately, Good seemed to give up and handed the game to Evil. Evil's superior teamwork and tactics dominated. Winning team members receive 30,000 deposited to their XP Bank accounts. Losing team members receive 15,000.
