+1 to everything [PTBNS]fabking has said.

How we check players accounts is none of your concern.

Also, if you aren't playing in Division A, then don't worry about the no rush rule.

If you get into a vil fight (with or without scouts) over walling, this is the only thing that is allowed in regards to the NR rule.

Sign-ups are going to begin in a few days. If you have anything else to add or that you are concerned with, now is the time to mention it. Once sign-ups begin, we won't be adding or changing any of the rules & criteria.

Also, important information:

No attacking for 40 minutes? Stupidest thing I've ever heard....Is there a minimum amount of resources and villagers each player has to have to start attacking? LMAO

25min games in intermediate ladder My team has been really busy with work, family etcetc (myself included) and have struggled to get these minimum of games through no fault of our own, this is probably a vain attempt to change it but yeah..

I know what you mean Banality but there are 3 weeks for sign-ups so it should be enough time to get it done.I know most players have not even met this requirement yet.
Lets see what the boss has to say about this though

Yeah but I can see the spots filling up pretty quick for peace of mind id like to sing up early

I found another account of yours that doesn't qualify for Division A anyways, so don't worry about Division A rules. The Intermediate Division B doesn't have a NR rule.

Less than 25 games is too little. (Keep in mind that the criteria is set for ALL user accounts for one player.) Another reason I don't want to lower it is because a lot of players in the NPL are playing on the Beginners Ladder that should be playing on the Intermediate Ladder. This is set to encourage them to play on the Ladder they should be playing on. I think a lot of people are also forgetting or are unaware that the Intermediate Ladder is mirrored with the MS Lounge. Whatever games are played in the NPL under the Intermediate Ladder are seen in the MS Lounge.

Also keep in mind that you need to meet these requirements before signing up. If the requirements aren't met at the time of sign-up you will not be added to the Accepted list.

Oh trust me, I am far from a noob. It's just dumb to set rules like that. If I really wanted to, I can create a fake account and make it so that I can qualify and destroy everyone in that tournament, but I won't of course. I just think in tournaments you should be allowed to do whatever you want. It's up to your opponent to adjust. Non of this **** ****.

I don't know why players think they are more clever than Staff. Your posts are becoming quite entertaining lol

The people who think like this are usually the first to get banned and cry and whine about why we took their points and banned their accounts. Just sayin'

Dude, you look so childish...

Haha. I know I can outsmart the staff, but I wont. I'm simply stating my opinion. That's why people are stuck being noobs because they are babied with stupid rules like this. This game has been around for far too long to still have dumb rules like no rush for 40 minutes. Amazes me really.

Still looking childish -.-

Then don't play It's simple. You don't like the rules, nobody is forcing you to play in this Tournament.

Don't worry, I'm not playing. I'm just saying stop promoting stupid tournament rules that limit people and their ability to grow as players. The legends of this game would think this is stupid and trust me I have played with plenty of them. Competition is not for the weak and you're encouraging it.
