Sorry for the Silence
by Alexa Young on Jan.02, 2010, under Kaos Theory
We have been holding out on doing tournaments for cash or even at all until things are re-vamped.
First of all a fully integrated membership system needs to be in place before I can charge people for tournament entry and they feel comfortable doing so. Secondly the two BETA tournaments taught us a lot about the structure of the tournaments themselves. Nothing major from what you saw if you joined in either tournament, everything went pretty good and will remain unchanged.
As such, a longer break period will be in effect while I work on Part 2 of the WarCon Saga and construct the membership system. The tournaments so far have been mostly friends of mine and their friends.. I probably will be doing more BETA tournaments while working on those two things. If you want in, subscribe to the RSS Feed and whenever I plan on doing them I will still post them on the site as before. Just may be a few weeks before the next one so checking everyday might get depressing.
Don’t worry this needs to happen so the people who are new have a genuine experience they won’t forget and have no doubts in their mind they will be in the next tournament.
Also the desktop computer that hosts the Live Game Feed is down due to viruses. It will take a week or two to get it fixed so the live feed won’t be available until then.
Feel free to post comments with questions or concerns about anything on the site.
WarCon: A Five Part Saga
by Alexa Young on Dec.24, 2009, under WarCon
A short story of human progress and War! It is a five part saga with part one already published. Eventually it will be refined and expanded on to turn into a complete sci-fi novel.
Helium-3 is mined from the moon and becomes vital in ensuring our future energy needs. We turn Mars into our sister blue planet only to start a war that breaks out into a nuclear holocaust. China vs Russia.. who will win? Does the United States military get evolved?

First MW2 BETA Tournament
by Alexa Young on Dec.21, 2009, under Modern Warfare 2
Only 6 including myself joined in the tournament, none-the-less, it was still lots of fun. 6 player FFA elimination, normal settings, small to medium maps, 5 minute time limit per game. Again, the host connection was flawless with most everyone at full bars. After each game the last player was out of the tournament but still played in the game. Until the last two were it dropped to a 1v1 on Rust.
Something I forgot to mention is you are still playing for most kills, assists and least deaths for the overall tournament. Even if your out the first round you can still win the rest and receive the medal for most kills or least deaths, earning you Kaos points. As always, the more Kaos points the lower the entry fee when CASH payout tournaments start (Date TBD.. Aprilish now).
The winner was Post x Mordem, congratulations!

First BETA Tournament
by Alexa Young on Dec.16, 2009, under Halo 3
We had our first BETA tournament and it went very well! 10 players elimination, FFA Halo 3, MLG settings and maps. Still some kinks to work out but nothing out of the ordinary. Host connection was outstanding with everyone in the green.
The winner was PepsaY, congratulations!

Online Tournaments vs Store Tournaments
by Alexa Young on Nov.20, 2009, under Kaos Theory
There are many changes or ‘upgrades’ that have been made since Kaos Theory’s store tournaments. Obviously the cost has reduced dramatically giving us new opportunity to make the online tournament experience truly special. Tournament websites like GameBattles are too big to really give players the experience they deserve.
Changes made since the store hosted tournaments:
Cash Payouts Increased
Since we do not charge spectators and are currently seeking sponsors our cash payouts are solely derived from the entry fees.
The old store tournament payouts:
60% Host/40% 1st Place Winner.
The new online tournament payouts:
50% 1st Place Winner/
25% 2nd Place Winner/25% Host.
Entry Fee Decreased
The tournament store had a $10 entry fee or you could go for memberships that had monthly fees but decreased your entry. Silver was $25/Mnth Re-Occurring on a debit/credit card or $35 one time cash payment and entry fee was $5. Gold was $50/Mnth Re-Occuring on a debit/credit card or $60 one time cash payment and entry was $2. There were no chances for free entry and my previous business partners wanted to get rid of the cash payouts.. Insane right.
The tournaments online use the Entry Pay Grade Levels described on our Leaderboard you work your way from $8 entry starting out to $6, then $3 and finally to no entry fee. There are no confusing costly memberships or re-occurring monthly fees our membership is free. As of now we are still working on the membership system itself for the website.
