MFO Signup Time!

Well, I really thought this would be the one as we got ready for D3, now, I'm not sure I would bet on summer. Oh well, lets not let that stop us.

Start date: February 10th, 2012
End date: February 19th, 2012


Total time - 10 days.


The supervisors are :

Baal: Bassano (mario(dot)babunek(at)seznam(dot)cz)
AT: jjscud ([email protected])
lvl85: LD50 ([email protected])
Pindle: jjscud ([email protected])



Quick Intro

For those new to the MFO, the basic jist of it is everyone picks one of 4 targets and runs that taget like mad for about a week. At the end, everyone scores their finds ([highlight]updated scoresheets below[/highlight]) and adds up the top five finds. The players with the top scores win and they get to claim a few items from the other participants as prizes.

No proxy signups, you may only signup yourself.

The Categories

- Hell Baal
- Pindle+: Pindleskin (or Shenk, Eldritch, Thresh or Sharptooth).
- Ancient Tunnels
- Other Level 85 Areas
- teams



-In the interest of sportsmanship, please email regular updates of your progress during the MFing week to your supervisor. These should be in the same format as your final results email (no ATMA readouts at this time).

I will need 4 category supervisors (one for each area), preferably someone who has participated in a previous MFO and will participate in this one.


Things to include in your e-mail (Progress and final upates):
-title should contain MFO
-Your forum name (PLEASE, PLEASE, I end up guessing everytime)
-The category and your top 5 items for each category you entered

example:

Title: SPF - MFO results
Forum name: jjscud

Meph
Firelizard's Talons 36.1
Eaglehorn 39.6
Eaglehorn 39.6 (example of duplicate find)
Total 115.3

...

-If you quit or drop out, please send your area supervisor an email or
PM saying so.

-Email your score and ATMA readouts of your top 5 to your area's supervisor within 24 hours after the end of the MFO - by February 20th.



Participants

The list of entered participants will follow.

If you're entered, try to do your best.

And if you don't think that you're capable of giving up a Windforce or
a Stormlash if you find one and lose, this probably isn't for you.

Allowed mods Any SPF FAM mod [highlight]and any version 1.10 or later[/highlight].

[highlight]Since items are switching back and forth, you must have a current trading profile over on the SP Trading Forum.

Also, if you've been banned from trading and/or mp'ing then you will not be allowed to participate in the MFO.[/highlight]

Eligible finds

The following monsters are the only ones whose drops will be considered
in each category:

- Hell Baal: Baal and his 5 minion packs.
- Pindle+: The mentioned SuperUniques and their Minions, in
the cases of Eldritch, Pindle and Sharptooth.
- Ancient Tunnels: Any monster (not the chest) in here is fair game.
- Level 85 areas: The Mausoleum, The Pit, Maggot Lair lvl 3, Kurast Sewers lvl 2, Forgotten Temple, Ruined Fane, Disused Reliquary, River of Flame, Chaos Sanctuary (not including seal boss packs and Diablo), Worldstone Keep, Throne of Destruction (not including
minion waves)

Drops from all other sources will not count. This includes Prowling Dead in Pindle's Garden, Chests in the Pits, etc.

Summary of rules:

-All intending participants must register the categories they wish to
compete in. No late entries will be accepted.

-The winning player shall be determined by the five highest-ranked
items they find during the week.

-In case of 2 players tying with the same score, the winner shall be
decided by adding in the score of the next rarest item each of them
found, then the next and so on until a clear winner is decided.

-Remember to keep eligible finds separate from the rest of your gear.


Prize distribution

1st Place - picks 4 items from ANY other entrants (max 1 per entrant).
2nd Place - picks 3 items from ANY other entrants ranked below you (max
1 per entrant)
3rd place - picks 2 items from ANY other entrants ranked below you (max
1 per entrant)
There's a maximum of 2 items taken from each entrant per category.

I will add my own "good sportsmanship" suggestions. I won't enforce these but any reasonable person shouldn't have any problem following these.

1. Don't claim items for their trade value, claim items you want to use or as a trophy
2. If you want a trophy, please be considerate (i.e. no grailers)
3. if you claim an item and the player really wants it, give them a chance to trade back their self found item for a similar or better one or other item as you see fit.
4. If someone is claiming one of your items, you may personalize it before giving it to them.

Scoring

The system is based on the relative rarity compared to the IK
Stonecrusher, the most common elite set or unique.

Here are the score sheets (lvl 85 for both AT and other lvl 85 areas)

Baal (csv File)
lvl 85 Areas (csv File)
Act 5 SUs (csv File)


Teams


- Please only sign up for team if you are fairly certain you will be able to participate, your team will be depending on you.

- You may have up to a maximum of 5 members in a team with a minimum of 3 members (no 1 or 2 man teams)

- Each member must first be registered under the Singles MFO first.

- One member may run more than one category.

- Scoring will be based on your team's highest scores in each category.

- Multiple members in a single category is allowed. However, only the highest score of 1 member will be taken into account.

Eg. Both Fred and George are in Team CB and running Baal. Fred has a score 150 while George's is 130. Hence Team CB's score for Baal will be based on Fred's ranking.

- When registering your team here, simply state your team name and its members.

- Points will be awarded based on ranking in your category, 1st place gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9, 3rd gets 8 and so on. If 2nd place is not participating in the teams competition, and 3rd is, 3rd still gets 8 points.

- Team play is just for bragging rights, participating in a team will not risk any of your MFO finds any further.

- If you do not have a team currently but wish to participate on a team. Please sign up under "Availible for teams", this will let others creating a team to know that you are available and I will create as many teams as possible with those that remain at the end.

Fixed the table there :p

I may switch to AT if I can't find that BER for infinity before it starts
 
Re: MFO Signup Time!

So, here it is. Let's make it the best of 'em all... :punk:

I think I would be available to supervise a category, if I pass the qualifications...

Re: MFO Signup Time!

I am too scared to update the table and mess up other player's links. Could someone add me in for Pindle+ please?

Just a clarification, is it necessary to declare one of the Pindle+ superuniques, or does running that category mean you can run all of them? If the former is the case I would like Pindle specifically.

Here is my trader profile, freshly made. Forgive my ignorance, but what is FAM? I am 1.13d SC and using RWM.

Also, what is the proper way to go about submitting GoMule readouts once the MFO is over? Is Atma required? I could not for the life of me get it to install properly when I reinstalled D2 a few months back.
 
Re: MFO Signup Time!

@Drewgie: Pindle+ category encompasses all act5 superuniques, so no need to specify.

When posting readouts, you just copy/paste the item info from GoMule/Atma, either is fine. I don't think many use ATMA anymore...

Also, updating my Trade Status link :p

Re: MFO Signup Time!

Ok, cool. So literally just click "view item" and copy and paste the txt? Nothing like a flavie report then?

Also, what is FAM? :crazyeyes:
 
Re: MFO Signup Time!

how do you deal with HC? do you just skip it or have a different category for HC players? since you can go HC > SC, but not the other way around.

Re: MFO Signup Time!

Time to try win another MFO to catch Zaliqai in number of victories, even I do not believe I am able to win any category
but for now I am little bit dissapointed with number of players signed up so I hope that another players will join
Also I am calling rest of alchemist team to come play with me to win another team competition
and if I can have question, can I ask if is possible to play even areas like lvl 84 or 83? I know that somewhere just been discussion about that so I am wonder if it is possible to do that
thanks for answer

Re: MFO Signup Time!

Great to see you host another MFO, jjscud! Due to RL events and 12 tourney characters, I won't have time to participate though...but I'm eager to see the results and haul pics! Good luck everyone!
 
Re: MFO Signup Time!

MFO time? It's not MFO time. It's exam time :/ But I'll do my best. Goal: not finishing last and get some progress to 99.

Re: MFO Signup Time!

Same as SC, no special categories, rules, or special prize sections.

ok, nvm then. sounds like fun, but when i whooped up on everyone i'd get a bunch of SC crap i didnt need :smug:



 
It's way more about the actual whooping than the prizes. Usually the winners are already obscenely wealthy :p
 
Re: MFO Signup Time!

BLASPHEMY! You forget your PvP chars!

also, how many of the qualifiers are really useful, honestly? It's typically less of a "hey, that's really nice... I want that!" & more of a "I want something personalized by X that will forever be my trophy!" kind of thing...

good point, but no one's gonna drop an enigma...

maybe next time.
