Sorry guys, I couldn't find the original thread... Is there real interest in this idea of an Few vs. FoF tournament? If so, I'd like to do it before Mandrew gets status.  Also, I was thinking that New Years day might be a good day to do it because a lot of people will have it off. We'd just have to schedule for later in the day so hangovers can clear a bit. I'm obviously not a tech-type guy, so I'm not sure if this is a ton of work, but if there's interest and it's not too hard, it sounds like it would be fun. peace. bubs. |

Sorry Munky... someone had proposed a CounterStrike tournament, and while that's the only one I play, I'm sure such a tournament could be set up in any game.
peace. bubs.

i never did get around to buying that game sadly, i might go grab it someday if given the proper incentive to. Also I was looking into getting TF2 but i dunno if my comp will run it well.

Who would organize such a thing?
Once I know that, I can propose a few days of the week and times of the day to see what others think. From there I could book a firm date and we could have sign-ups or something here. I just don't want to set something up without first contacting whoever I'll be making work for in setting up from a technical perspective. Also, are there rules or plans in place for this kind of tourney, or should we invent some? Input is welcome.
peace. bubs.

There seemed to be a fair bit of interest in this idea in chat mode on CSS. Can we get a list of who would be actually interested in playing?
I know quite a few Few members who don't seem to be on the site a lot so I'll try and talk to them in chat in-game and get them here to sign up.
If we can find... what, 16 guys (the first 8 per side), then I can turn it over to whoever would technically handle the tournament. We have to set this up soon. My side's already lost Kittens, so we have to get this going before we lose Mandrew too.
I'll put the first tournament rule out there: The sign-ups will go in the order that they arrive on this thread. Make sure to designate yourself as Few or FoF, since some online names are different from in-game names.
I'll leap and be the first FoF on board.
Bubbles_FoF is in.
Who wants to try and pop Bubbles?
peace. bubs

Chester... if you can handle 5 Few, that leaves only 3 for the other 7 of us. Sounds perfect. Sign up dude.
peace. bubs.
PS Is there a listing somewhere of all the Few and FoF members (by category)?

Just set up a date and time, line it up with Crazy and then post the info and see who's gonna make it.
Better bring a tissue cause some of the FOF will need it...ah shit forget it we have kittens now ! ;D

Hey @1. Thanks for the input.
So is that the recommendation? Rather than collecting 16 guys and then picking a time; pick a time and see who shows and set the teams up on the day?
If that's the case, how about if I change the question to: What day and time works best for those interested?
If that's it, I'll put out there that a Sunday afternoon or evening seems to be when I see the most Few and FoF members hanging around. Anyone share that idea or have another?
As for Kittens... yes, that is unfortunate timing for us FoFers. Here's hoping Chester wasn't kidding....
peace. bubs.

Maybe you're just being facetious Chester, but I don't think he hacks. I'm no expert on hacking, but the reason I don't think he's hacking is, for one brief game a week ago, I think it was Synthetic or @1 who pointed out my score was better than both Mandrew and Dead^Bodies and I shot the latter about 4 rounds in a row. Fluke for sure, but it still indicates that he likely wasn't hacking. That said, I totally agree that if we could find a way to ban him from the tourny, our chances would greatly improve! ;D Maybe we could ban anyone with the word Bodies in their name or something....  peace. bubs. |

I think mostly it's Syn's distance (Carolina) and his wireless system that has him sometimes suddenly ping in at 250 and as you try to shoot him, like David Copperfield, he just disappears and reappears elsewhere--usually having shot you in the interim.
How about I throw the idea out of us having the tourny on the first Sunday of every month, starting at noon Pacific Standard Time?
Crazy, I understand you're the technical guy. Can that work? I'm not sure how it gets set up on that end. Does the software itself have competition modes where we play round vs. round, with the first team to win ten or something? And do we do multiple maps, maybe two chosen by each side? Or an all Dust2 tournament? Let me know if the structure of the thing will affect how we approach setting it up.
I was playing last night with Chloe and he's interested. (DeadlyGrig was too, but while he's a regular, he's not FoF or Few.) I can try and reach Mandrew to see if he'd be in. That's almost five for us FoFers right there.
So what's the verdict on the First Sunday of every month idea?
peace. bubs.

Can we get a message crawl about this on the server like the one that announced the new server? I ran into Fox and Skronk today and they only found out because I was on to tell them. We either need a notification or we'll all have to try and make sure the guys we're playing with know to check the website for info.
peace. bubs
