Title: Tournament Teams
Post by: DuVeL on December 18, 2006, 09:04:09 PM
Can the SquadLeaders think of a name for their squads please (if any of the SL's can't be the SL, please reply to the sended PM)?
 
People who's names are in orange, you might eventually switch teams. As previous tournaments have shown, there will allways be people who can't make the tournament or who are to wasted to play.
 
NOW 4 TEAMS, please check where I put you...
For now:
Team Blunt (5)
GRIM_REAPER, Benny, Marduk, Whitey, Luminance,
 
Team Dr_Sadako (5)
Sheepy, Bastet, killcrazy, K!LLA, Toxteh,
 
Team Squonk (5)
DarkAngel, sulky_uk, Mayhem, Jewelz, JB
 
Team JonnyAppleSeed (5)
Liberator, Bob, LeRouge, Arcticfire, DeadMike or me, DuVeL
 
Reserves: DeadMike, TeaLeaf

Looking forward to this one - gonna be fun :D
Will there be organized some time on the server where each team could have a small practice/tactic session, or do we just just straight to it?
I think I'll be happy as long as I can avoid headshot-ing any of my team mates :rolleyes:

I hope to have the maps to be definate really soon and that they will be added to the rotation then so people can have a look around (this has been done previous tournament aswell, some teams just went in straight in though).
About giving the teams names: As previous tournaments and to get a bit more of a team.
 
I haven't forgotten myself. If needed I can now stay online on MSN/mIRC/TeamSpeak/Xfire to help out behind the scenes and help out if needed.

As soon as the maps are confirmed ill PM the winning team (mine) to see if we can get together ..our main tactic will be smoke and knife's with the odd tower of power thrown in to mix it up :norty: ..... I figure the more time we spend dead the more we will be able to drink (hik) :beer:

Chances are that I will be very hungover on the 27th. I will make the effort to try and drink still tho.

Are we going to need to be on IRC? or can we just wait around on the server till told where to go?

I've seen the tower and I know it's weaknesses, if witnessed we need to go in with a 'shower of sh1te' and we should be able to wash out the foundations. Failing that a simple 'Death from above' (only works on de_museum) or 'shoot them in the face' should work.

But I believe it will be setup yes but Í have no clue on how to do so.
 
For the SquadLeaders, do you guys have a team allready?

Whitey gave the suggestion to stick to office and nuke so I think I'll stick to those as everyone knows them.

The probelm with custom maps is that if one or two people have problems downloading/installing the custom map it can cause long delays.  It wasn't so bad in the past as you could get the map downloaded by simply connecting to the server.  
We had some issues during map testing and this made it clear that custom maps are a bad idea for something with so many people involved, especially when the maps have not been on the server/map cycle before.
