    Default The Aetius & Theodoric 2 vs 2 Tournament (Sunday, August 19)

    The Aetius & Theodoric 2 vs 2 Tournament
    Since most people here enjoy team battles, I'm going to host this as a team tournament (a 2 vs 2). Feel free to ask around for a partner (whether on this forum or from someone you know on gamespy). Just don't ask me to be your partner because I don't play team battles

    I'll be posting everybody's names here who wish to enter the tournament. If you don't have a partner, feel free to ask any of the free agents here if they will team with you. In order to help me simplify this, I want you and your teammate to create a "team name" so that I can identify you guys easier (when I'm keeping track of all of the battles being fought). Here are some excellent names to consider: the Ferocious Stamp Collectors. The Munich Clockmakers.

    In case you're wondering about the name of the tourney...
    General Aetius (Roman) and King Theoridic (Visigothic) weren't the best of buddies when Attila the Hun invaded the West. But the only way they could save themselves was to band together and form an uneasy alliance. Their teamwork proved successful when they defeated the Huns at Chalons. Thankfully, we won't have to worry about the Huns in this game, but you will have to worry about how well you can operate as a teammate.

    Good, I'm glad we have two newcomers, Guyyug and LeonidasofSparta. Welcome to the carnage! If you two want to be added to my tournament mailing list, send me a message. People on my mailing list will always know when a tournament is coming.

    Remember guys - get a partner ASAP and try to get some practice working with them as a team. Feel free to ask anyone here who doesn't have a partner.

    Your family just informed me they want to stay home and watch you play RTW. j/k

    That really sucks, though. Let me know if you change your mind.
