Okay, well as we all know, Exit Path 2 is going to be released. Since we now have confirmation from John that there will be private rooms, I think that a tournament is in order since so many people have been wanting to do that.
This tournament will be set 3 days after the official game(not the beta) is released. That way we can get to know the stages a little first. So expect this to happen around the July-August area.
Number of participants will depend on how many people apply. I plan for this not to be more than about 64 or 128 people, so if more than that apply(unlikely), I will simply do a first come first served basis.
Here are the rules to enter:
1. You must have played at last 1,000 matches on the original Exit Path.
2. You must sign up on here by simply stating you want to enter.
3. When you sign up, post your stats (meaning matches,wins, etc.) so I know that you have at least 1,000 matches
, and your win %from Exit Path(original) will determine your seeding, much like in a professional sports league.
As for racing rules, I can't post many right now because we don't really know the gameplay yet.
The only rules right now is that the rooms will be 4 people each.
Also, those who were given access to the beta will be put into the same 1st round mtaches whenever possible because those who playd the beta will have an unfair advantage over those who did not.
How to advance to next round:
Each room will play 25 races, with the 2 plyers with the most wins will advance to the next round.
This will continue until we are down to only 2 players remaining, where the 2 will play 1 final round of 15 races.
Also, Epicness raised a point to me that might be interesting that if maybe a mod. or admin. agrees, maybe the winner of the tournament will get a merit. Keep in mind this is not for sure, just a thought.
Thank you for reading all this(if you were crazy enough to read all this), and please enter.
Alright, so I just read the whole thread.
My stats before they got erased were 8,000-6,000. That's an estimate.
Okay, as for the issue of guests, no. As for the issue of darwin, even greater extent of no. If he was perma-banned, it will make it a pain to set up times to work around that.
Secondly, PLEASE post your STATS. Not your guesses for your win%. So many people will probably say "My win percentage is about 40%" or "My win% is about 50%". It's already hard enough on me to have to make a seedings list that's accurate, but when people guess, it's even harder. Just please post your matches and wins.
He could just tell us his guest name once he's on. And we can always use the ghost chat to talk with him if John closes the game chat for guests.
I am kind of low on my win ratio, but I still want to join...
(7,884/12,548)*100=62.83%
My stats for my account is around 500 matches played with 460 wins
yea darwins IP adress has been banned since he shared his account with some11 else :'(
sry bout double post 1503 wins 3824 losses...thats what tricz do to accounts :P and always playing with people waaaaay better then me...*cough pain and faith cough*
To the low winratio thingy:
Girls and Guys... finally open your eyes and realise that stats mean nothing. They don't make good races. They don't reflect your skill. They are a good seeding hint yes but thats it. I have ssen 70% and higher ratios run after couple races. I have seen 90%ratios push their statistics and leave midgame to avoid losses. Under these may be known players that shall be unnamed.
So gtfo with bad feellings when you got about 30% or so....In the end your run quality and your enjoyment in EP (EP2 maybe) counts.. sheesh

Stats mean something when you play the game with other experienced players and don't quit the game. If you just go around playing the inexperienced people and leaving when you find someone good at the game, then they don't mean a thing. Stats for entering the competition shouldn't mean much, but if you don't have a certain amount of matches played on the game then how are people going to be able to tell if you know how to play well, or if you are just a newcomer.
Your opinion on the matter isn't a fact, just because you've seen a few people here and there quit with a high win ratio doesn't mean that everyone with a high win ratio will do it. Look at many of the GhostOf players, they're stats had to be above 50% and they had to win 5 out of 20 matches with a tester. And all the testers were very good players of the game, so yes, most of the time stats do mean something while playing. It's there to keep track of your progress on the game.
People shouldn't have bad feelings about having a low win ratio, since you did that to yourself most likely. Doing tricks and such, most people that have been posting in this thread about having a low win ratio are actually really good players of Exit Path, but they must not race often because they get bored with i
You're not really making sense with your last sentence. Saying that run quality matters, but saying that having a decent win ratio doesn't matter doesn't make much sense. Because if you had good run quality while racing then you should have a good ratio.(Excluding the people that do tricks.)
(Excluding the people that do tricks.)
The best way to improve yourself is by racing with people that are actually better than you. But the obvious downside to that is that your win% will ultimately suffer.
This is mostly Faith's argument so I'm not sure why you were arguing against it in the other paragraphs
Since the Ghost clan needs a little reneweal anyway, I intend to do some clean-up and renovation when EP2 arrives (Of course assuming that people are fine with it).
It makes perfect sense if you accept that your stats are irrelevant. If they weren't we could just crown the victor right now
And that's what makes your argument problematic.
then I played with people better than me so that I could see what and how they did each level because I could keep up with them, but not beat them often.
The paragraphs were about how stats should matter if you've earned them, but people shouldn't feel bad for having a low win ratio if they do it to themselves.
I don't think many people will care. There are only about ten active GhostOf accounts on Exit Path. I don't really pay attention to who plays anymore.
Judging a winner for a tournament that hasn't been played yet is an invalid argument. I talked about the stats because if you earned them, then it's the smartest thing to do to let the person in the tournament to play. But as I said before, or after this paragraph, there should be some kind of meeting about the tournament then have test runs so that you don't have horrible players in the tournament slowing the whole thing down.
My last paragraph was about how if he said that run quality matters, then they should have a decent win ratio because having run quality - racing - and winning should get that. I excluded the people that don't race because it's obvious that they won't have a good ratio.
But if there was some kind of testing thing for the tournament then the stats shouldn't matter at all. Z, or whoever decides to run this tournament should gather everyone into the Ghosts chat then have some kind of testing thing or racing thing with others to make sure good players make it into the tournament.
lol i dont want to make you angry or something but z is making this tournament and he HAS to read almost EVERYTHING we post. so id suggest you will move this to the gepd thread? XD
Okay, if your post does not have to do with the tournament, please regulate it to the General Exit Path Discussion please and thank you(meaning kenty, matrix, faith and whoever else was involved).
Second, would anyone else like to volunteer to be a watcher? I won't make you be one when you're racing.
Okay, well I'd like to have a vote on these 2 topics please.
1) Would you want to have to make players whow ant to enter do some kind of test as Matrix suggested?
2) Which of these styles would you want to see used for the tournament?
Where if you are a high seed, you play a low seed (like how in the NBA the number 1 seed plays 8 seed, 2 seed plays 7 seed, etc.)
Try to make the 1st round matches as even as I possibly can.
Or divide the Beta testers and non-Beta testers into 2 groups, then have the top 2 from each side play it out?
