When I was watching the World Cup, I had an idea. What if AO had its own? A world tournament where every player picks a country to represent and competes. Im gonna call it the AOWC. It will be once a year
What is Camp Wars?
The AOWC is based on Camp Wars, a game mode that originated from the AO server Luck Central (which I’ve modified to be closer to football). In camp wars you destroy as many enemy camps as possible before time runs out. Each camp destroyed is a point
The games will be played in the US East region to keep ping fair for everyone. The camp markers will be placed on Ravenna and Frostmill, and their exact locations are random every game.
Teams & Roster
- 9 players per team, the players will be picked by Team Captains
- Each team gets 3 brigs. Your boat can have whatever stats you want I don’t care
- Armor builds will have stat limitations to keep things balanced
- You get 3 substitutions max, including halftime. Every player switched counts as one
Before the game and during halftime, u can gather supplies for your boat, repair boats, and substitute players. You can do this mid-game too, though good luck repairing your boat while your camp’s defense is #fairs
match format
- 90 minutes of gameplay with a 15-minute halftime
- Any interruptions get added to the end of the 90 minutes (totally not like the World Cup)
- There may be a 3-minute hydration break mid-game. Yes really. People need water lol
- Knockout games tied after 90 minutes go to 20 minutes of extra time (2×10)
- the team captains can make substitutions at halftime or during major stoppages like a server hop etc. No mid-fight substitution
Goalkeeping
Each team has a goalkeeper as a player. Which is a mage running the Construct spell. Although it’s against the rules to defeat a goalkeeper, it’s highly recommended you protect them so they can focus on protecting your camp.
Rules
Rules will be enforced by a neutral chosen Referee. Rules are still in progress so any feedback is welcome!
Punishment system:
Kraken = warning. Two Krakens = automatic Omen
Omen = your team permanently loses one member, there’s no replacement…
THE Rules
- If you attack someone within 10 seconds of them spawning, you must back off immediately. Repeated deliberate offenses → Kraken. The only exception to this is overtime, or if they hit you first
- Gear switching mid-game → Omen
- Defeating the goalkeeper → Omen
- Spawning a sea monster → Kraken
- Every player must screenshare their gameplay for the entire game including halftime and ot
- If your stream drops the game pauses for 3 minutes. If you’re still down, you are temporarily pulled until it’s back. The same rule applies to disconnects
- Real life happens. You can pause the game for 3 minutes, up to 2 times. Go over the limit and you’re temporarily removed. If your camp gets destroyed while you’re out, the other team gets a tiebreaker point (doesn’t count toward the score, can only happen once per game)
Production
The whole thing will be streamed on YouTube with some OBS editing idk and commentators. We will have 1-2 AO devs using the free-cam so viewers can actually see what’s going on. There’s gonna be a stage voice channel for streaming, a separate VC for supervisors and players, a TTS bot, and a discussion channel.
Hosting & Ads
If you own a Discord server with Roblox verification, you could apply to host an AOWC game in the future. That is if enough people agree with the AOWC. Hosting costs 4,500,000 drachma (likely free for the first AOWC). Your server needs to be public and have the required channels set up
Ad spots are open for clans and AO-related entities:
Banner spot — 1,000,000 drachma (1 minute)
Halftime ad — 2,900,000 drachma (3 minutes)
The AOWC concept is owned by Sunfish Village/Sunfish Co. (my AO party server) though games can be hosted in any qualifying server.
Rules are still very much in progress, if you have ideas pls reply below
I am also thinking of creating a channel in my server for discussing this if this post gets big enough. But for most of the things in this event, we will need the attention of the AO devs and a LOT of time
