From the very start, i would like to make a 4v4, with each team consisting of 2 AI's and 2 People.

How to do that?

I dont think you can

Games with AI's are always unranked, so I don't think you could, since every tournament is ranked. Could some member try it?

not every tournament is ranked.

reason you cant is because all seats are essentially open, you cant assign seats to specific players like to could when creating a game.

what you could do is create a lot of dummy accounts, have a low vote-to-boot or direct boot time, with booted players to turn into ais. this would probably need to be a very small tournament, and youd have to make sure all players knew the deal.

I don't even know how to make extra accounts. When I tried it once, it said my e-mail address was already taken. And I only have one :(

fake emails. dont remember if you have to verify your account via email but its not so difficult to create an email adress.

There are tournaments with custom scenarios that have to be unranked because they have custom scenarios---

Ha, that gives me a good prank idea. What if I would take the e-mail address of someone I hate, and use it to create twenty accounts on his address?
Oh wait, you can only create one on each e-mail address :(

lol

Interesting, you hate him so you are gonna give him an account so that he can play this awesome game. Something here just doesn't add up...

Get a GMail account, let's say I have rvw@gmail.com. Then I could register accounts with rvw+wl00@gmail.com, rvw+wl01@gmail.com, rvw+wl02@gmail.com, ... you get the idea. Of course, this means Fizzer can very easily find all your accounts, but as long as you don't do anything you're not supposed to that's not a problem. (Anyone who does intent to do something they're not supposed to shouldn't come to me for advice and/or assistance.)

And then what...!? At the very worst it would cause him/her to receive twenty (more likely one) welcome messages from WL. That would cause them two seconds of annoyance at most and give WL a bad reputation (undeservedly, but still). So ehm, please don't do that.

why not just make surrenderer's turn into ai's..?

@perrin

hed have to surrender in all of them. it would be easier if each player voted to boot/if the last player directly booted each thing, the game would not be delayed at all.

thing = multi-account

dont know why i did that

It would be easier for every player to bring his own dummy, join his own team with it and surrender at the beginning of every game.

Yes What Segrain Said would be the easiest way to do it. rather than creating 8,16 accounts. Each player that wants to play needs a dummy account. you would of course have to rely on them to surrender the dummy account and not play with it

thing is.. if he didn't login to surrender the accounts, then the players would -also- have to force join them to each individual game...
and if the players made double accts, then they could change which they played with, based on starting spots they managed to get, and/or would have advanced information based on their picks over those of a standard AI
