2009-01-01 15:08T³ cooperates with Kraken EditionsT³ is starting its first big official cooperation with a game manufacturer: Kraken Editions, the creator of Alkemy.
Kraken Editions published with Alkemy a tabletop which is strongly linked to tournament gaming und offers a great support for the community. So you have information about
tournament organization on their website and there's the possibility to gather so called "Dublones" on
official tournaments within the scope of a community programm, which can be exchanged against
special gimmicks. Official tournaments are all tournaments which are organized by a "Galleon" partner.
"Galleon" is the name of the community programm. Motivated and involved players can team up to a community, organize tournaments and help with the developement of the game. Until now thre are Galleon teams in the T³-countries France, Belgium, Germany and Austria. In addition Galleon exists in North America and starts in England soon. You can find any further details about how to become a Galleon partner and how to organize official tournaments on the Kraken website.
Furthermore Kraken offers a narrative campaign:
"The Chronicles of Mornea". This campaign pushes the background story based on the results of the organized games forwards and comes along with a official ranking for the tournament participants.
At this points T³ gets relevant: T³ is the official tournament platform for Alkemy tournaments. This means that all official Alkemy tournaments (in the by T³ supported countries) are managed on T³. Besides the usual benefits T³ offers, we have two new features: On the one hand all official tournaments are marked with a special icon (

). On the other hand the official Alkemy ranking will be computed on the base of the NTR algorithm.
We're looking forward to the cooperation and can only give you the tip to take a look at
Alkemy.
2008-12-12 15:46Server failure 10th to 12th DecemberOn 10th December the T³-server had a harddisk failure. The disk couldn't be saved and had to be replaced. We worked on the reconfiguration of the server as the complete system had to be build almost from scratch.
Due to a couple of unlucky circumstances we had to roll in an outdated backup from 21st November. All changes until 10th December are unfortunately lost. It's pity. Please excuse the inconvenience and just contact us, if you have a question
To ensure that this cannot happen again, daily backups are from now on saved on an external storage.
2008-08-21 11:06ServerproblemsWe had some massive server problems in the last week(s) which always forced us to restart the complete server. The source of this freezes couldn't be found yet.
Important notice:
Please assure as a tournament organizer that you backup the registrations periodically. The worst case of a server crash on a Friday didn't happen yet, but I cannot guarantee anything.
