        Hope everyone is ready to play 48 hours from now.

        Notice for Team players who will be hosting games:

        Please help out the Tournament Directors by -
        doing two things in the game lobby.

        1-"x" the "hide default options "box" in the lobby.
        ---This is Very Important, as it enables the TD's and players in the game,
        ---to check the proper AIx cheat and build multipliers for each game.
        -----With-out an "x" in this box the pertinent game options will not show in lobby.

        2:- Hit the "Default Settings" button, so all default settings will be reset,
        and only the game specific options will apply -
        ---Share conditions = Full Share
        ---AIx Omni Setting = Off
        ---AIx Cheat and Build multipliers = Set to specified multipliers.

        Untitled.png

        FYI
        NOC- will be joining some lobbies to help with game lobby scenario setup's.
        Please give him your cooperation, so he is able to expedite the process,
        help other team's game lobbies and then join his own teams lobby as well.

        Thank you, and good luck

                  In case any of the remaining teams don't monitor the RC discord thread, I've given a brief overview of how part of the M28 logic is meant to work:
                  https://discord.com/channels/197033481883222026/1183903661794005182/1211795958170386452

                  I'm hoping to release an update to M28 ahead of the semi-finals (will try and remember to post here and in discord if I do), e.g. to fix some late-game bugs that occurred in some of the games. If I do release an update, a summary of the changes will also be provided.

                  M27AI and M28AI developer; Devlogs and more general AI development guide:

                    Good News!
                    I made rules even easier for Finals.

                    LESS "!roll" ing !!!

                    Only 2 !rolls needed for whole Finals process.
                    Including Map pool and Team 1 or 2 winners.

                    Trying to keep simple and have less confusion.

                    Now...
                    Only require One !roll for the map elimination process.
                    The winner of !roll will get 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th map veto.
                    The loser of !roll will get 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th map veto.
                    This will leave 7 maps in the map pool for the
                    2 Captains to select the 2-5 maps required.

                    and,
                    The Second and last !roll, is:

                    "Finals map selections" and "!roll team Selection's"
                    For the Finals -
                    There will be 1x !roll at start of match and no more.

                    The winner of the !roll will get to:
                    pick the 1st map of the tournament, and
                    the loser chooses to be team 1 or 2.

                    This procedure continues for rest of tournament.
                    Teams alternating picking maps, and
                    the other team always gets choice to be team 1 or 2.

                    I like this method, as it saves on lobby time and confusion
                    !roll ing, and
                    I like that by having a team get to pick a map they be be better on,
                    the other team will always get to select to be team 1 or 2.

                    And, that's how we play Finals with just one !roll.

                      Thanks for player feedback, it helps
                      our AI modders out immensely.

                      Once again I would like to give shout outs to our
                      2 participating AI modders = Maudlin27 + Relent0r

                      Maudlin27
                      M27AI = 4-5 maps
                      M28AI = 6-7 maps

                      Relent0r
                      RNGAI = 5 maps.

                      Each AI has it's own unique style of play.
                      Which makes playing the same map,
                      multiple times against AI - remain fresh
                      just by switching the AI mods.

                      Feed back is welcome on
                      the Rainbow Cup Discord channel here:
                      https://discord.com/channels/197033481883222026/1183903661794005182, or
                      on the AI Discord tournament channel here:
                      https://discord.com/channels/619646141306503181/975157386614542377

                      Remember..
                      Maps are "blanked out" again, and
                      80% of maps have had changes made to them.
                      Either different AI, different AI spawns,
                      an added AI, etc.
                      So.. Be sure to double check set ups, before
                      picking to eliminate, or to play for the finals.

                              1 hour before the official tournament start time:

                              We will release the 15 maps for the Finals .
                              Captains will !roll.
                              The winner of !roll will get 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th map veto.
                              The loser of !roll will get 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th map veto.
                              This will leave 7 maps in the map pool for the
                              2 Captains to select the 2-5 maps required.

                              Once the Map veto process is complete:
                              The Finals Map #16 (Game #1 map) will be released.
                              Teams have the remainder of the hour to get ready for Game #1.

                              Tournament will start at 1500 UTC sharp.

                              After Playing the Surprise Game Map #1 of Finals:
                              the Captains will "!roll" for the last time.

                              The winner of the !roll will get to:
                              pick the 1st map of the finals, and
                              the loser chooses:
                              to be team 1 or 2.

                              This procedure continues for rest of tournament.
