Highlander Online Play
There was a demand to revive the Highlander Online scene somehow by parts of the community. Maybe it is hard to put into practice but at least worth a try. So here we go.
In the past we’ve had a multi-culti Highlander-Online-League with players from Portugal, Denmark, France, the Netherlands and even USA but the number of participants was shrinking slowly but steadily. In the end there were always the same few people for playing this league, almost all from Germany and partly even from the same community so I decided to stop that Highlander Online League for a while waiting for the right moment for a relaunch…
I have different ideas concerning Online Play:
1 - Use a Discord-Server as meeting point for all players looking for some matches on cockatrice or other platforms. Leave your nickname here so we can create a user-list. Maybe announce some fix play times so it is easier to find like-minded persons.
Platforms:
Cockatrice
Name: Rooster Rangers
Server: server.cockatrice.us
Port: 4748
User-List:
Bobz0rd – Max Hof.
hitman_HL - Ronald Leh.
Iulus – Julius Sta.
0rley - Oliver
Phexian - Benjamin Rud.
rekka - Kurt Kof.
Vazdru – Gerry Sta.
[to be continued]
I will be online this Sunday, ~ 7 to 9 PM for some test-games.
2 - I would like to gather some data for metagame, mulligan and unban-watchlist. Therefore, I would like to launch following experiment:
Before I select my deck, my opponent may choose for the match:
• To add Free Mulligan -> FM, then London Mulligan (otherwise regular only LM) and
• To add Skullclamp (otherwise regular Banned-List)
I give a similar standardised notification for game report like Steffi did for Halle.
Notification look like (example):
UGb-Reanimator (A) vs Gwb-Cradlehoof (B) 2:1
FM: - / SC: +
G1: 1:0
A on the play mull 0x / B mull 2x
Remarks: non-game, B: mana-screwed
G2: 1:1
A mull 0x / B on the play mull 0x
Remarks: SC appeared but had no impact, combo-kill Craterhoof
G3: 2:1
A on the play mull 1x / B mull 0x
Remarks: Entomb T1 = unfair
Why only online? Cockatrice has a replay-function so it is easy to find the necessary information even if you have forgotten some details – best thing after a long play session
Furthermore, it is easy to have a lot of different decks available and switching decks with and without Skullclamp is easy as well.
It is only a small input but a small one is better than none. Maybe some guys out there wanna join this experiment so we can gather more data – just let me know and I will add your infos as well.
3 - On the long run I will try to establish an Online-Tournament if there is any demand for. The current draft is a non-profit, small-entry event with following stats:
Meeting Point: Discord Server
Pairings/Judge/cockatrice-deckcodes via Discord
Starting Fee: EUR 2,50
Max 16 players
4 rounds Swiss (e. g. Sunday 16-21 or weekday 19.30-0.30)
Winner 75% of pool as MKM voucher (e. g. 16 players -> EUR 30)
Runner-Up 25% of pool as MKM voucher (e. g. 16 players -> EUR 10)
Let me know if you would join such an event or if you would like to have some change. Thanks in advance!
