Are there some rules?
Like:
Time before fighting/attacking is allowed
Units that aren't allowed?
What is the goal? Destroying all buildings is a lot of time. Only the storages, for example.

I like the idea with the ally and of course Im interested in entering the championship. Problem is, that I dont know If I will have time yet.

If you try to make a test match I would volunteer for.

If there is more clear about the tournament I can post it in the german forum too.

I'll try to play if it is at a time that suits me. (Remember I'm from Australia, and most of you are from Europe)

Have you considered the lag problems? When I've played TSK over Hamachi it lags unless you are all from the same area. With someone in China (200-300 ping) it lagged but with someone else in Australia (90 ping) it didn't. So if I join a European game from Australia it will probably slow it down HEAPS.
Just something to think about.

My theory for this is that it sends data every KaM frame, which is 100ms. So if the ping is over 100 it lags? I could be wrong about all this, it might have just been a once off issue.

I will report it to TGWH. By the way I can forward your word for now.
What is the goal?
Destroying important buildings and all troops.
Units that aren't allowed?
To say it honestly I personally prefer leather units but I don't find it correct to make any limitations regarding soldiers.
Time before fighting/attacking is allowed?
I think 1 hour is required.
If you try to make a test match I would volunteer for.
Great. :) I'll install my Windows XP in a couple of days (now I only run Linux and don't wanna make it too vulnerable by WinE). I have to consider whether TSK has a built-in multiplayer mission having the proper game goals. If it doesn't we must find or construct another. I guess Lewin can suggest some.

Well, game wasn't really fast even when I played with Hungarians. I don't think that speed problems would mostly stem from the length of cables but from the translating of the VPN protocol.
I'm worrying more about timezones. We must know early enough how many people would come from which regions that we can arrange the meetings without making anybody dreamless nights.

@Lewin:
Anyways, we should make a try. Two of us will be enough to detect the degree of lagging. I'm staying at GMT+1, and I guess your location belongs to GMT+10. It's almost the biggest difference we can allow us in time. Tell me when you can afford to make it.

I would love to participate, but since Hamachi doesn't work for me I can't. I could create a topic on the Dutch forum about this competition though. I'm sure there are some willing to join.

It's hard to say that I have time when this tournaments starts. I'm interested in but cant say it for sure that Im available at this time.

It would be a great help if somebody create a Tournament webpage, where interested people can sign up. Then we start a voting on http://www.doodle.com/ to find out on which days, which player has time. This page would also be a good place for the rules, a hamachi tutorial, etc.

I think on the hungarian forum we will create some topic, or here. It's to small that I or somebody make an own webpage... but if a lot of people ask (more than 50), I help to make, or I make all of the site. Or make an other english forum, it is the best and fastest. Oh, a lot of or :P

This silence doesn't fit me... I was reading the topic that was created to have a tournament some years ago. I'm ready to open new Hamachi networks especially for this campionship, also ready to arrange people to certain ones of them in time and in place but... :? couldn't I see an infinite list of names of enthusiastic players? :roll:

By the way, I haven't found this whole page so frequently visited, compared to the number of members when a tournament was firstly advertised in 2006. How come you were capable of writing 5 pages about this those times? :evil:
