So what about this to lure in the plebs?
Do we think we can field an Admin Dream Team?
So do you think you are tough enough?
Do you have three friends to help you? Ones who won’t just punt the hunters but shoot them too? Ones who won’t run off and leave you? Ones who’ll cover your back, share resources and not set you alight? Punt the boomers and not just shoot them immediately? Ones who are stalwart mates and not glory hunters?
Do you think you could take on the Dream Team and win?
If so put together your teams and make your mark below.
To the victors go the spoils and bragging rights, until the next time.
Rules
The all-comers challenge will be a single level of a versus campaign. Each team plays each side. The team with the highest score wins.
In the event of a tie the two teams will play again.
All-talk will be off and the safe-room door timer will be disabled.
One person from each team must be nominated as the leader and it is their responsibility to make note of the final scores and post them.
The admin team’s decision will be final.
No whinging, whining, crying or un-warranted arguing and swearing.
Remember this is supposed to be a fun event.
Definitely. Count me in.
Well written too, you have my vote!
Yeah nice idea.
So long as we can schedule it in to the current timetable then let's do it. I take it you mean this as an additional comp to the one already suggested?
We already had the one suggested.
You lost. (admittedly the turn out was poor - but you still lost)
Of the the people on the volunteer list, Ninja, Ghost Major and Sulky turned up, to make it 3 on 3 against Lib, Sn00ks and I.

As in, "You got the most points, but it's our server and we'll take it home if you don't say we won".
Count me in. :devil:
Didn't Benny come up with the same idea last week. :blink:
OK so we've got three admins for the Dream Team.
What date should we go for. I think this Saturday or Sunday is a bit too soon so next Wednesday evening starting at 19:00?
Should we just ask for volunteers and then we compile the teams or let the plebs do something?

No, I mean with the competition suggested for the LAN :rolleyes:
Let the plebs arrange...
first 4 to organise themselves get the spot. I'd say if they can organise a team they have a slight chance. Simply saying 'me' doesn't count. First 4 to get themselves together and say 'us'.
Saves messing about then.
OK so how about Wednesday evening, next week, starting at 19:00.
Can those who count make it?
Which map should we pick or should we go for a whole campaign?
I think I am available and ready.
OK so we've got our Fantastic Four. Benny, Liberator, Dr Sadako and me.
I think we'll go for 'Blood Harvest', a campaign that is challenging for both sides but has created many a 'oh pants' moment.
Might have to delay the start until 19:30.
I have asked Sulky to organise the plebs, with him in charge things should go swimmingly.
Well, after a little prodding, there are now two "challenge" teams on the thread.
What's the plan Sn00ks.
Check the latest post :)
With three teams we'll do a little round-robin tournament. Playing one map.
Two teams with highest scores go through to final?
All-talk off.
Special infected off or on?
What are you talking about? Let's turn up, have a fight, win then leave.
I'll be there. (Watching the England game with one eye).
Who said this was like herding cats? Whoever it was was absolutely right. I digress onto the beginners thread, I vaguely remember suggesting the same but no-one could be arsed. No wonder Whitey is so moody if it's like this in CS as well. :rolleyes:
I have a plan for tonight. If we are infected, hit together, puke then pounce and tongue. If we are survivors, let's stick together. Took me ages to think of that.
The only other caveat, if someone gets dragged off the roof and the other three are nearly in, one drops, the other two go and open the door?
And finally.......pick on the moodiest.
Amazing, it must have taken you ages to come up with those tactics :lmfao:
Should we leave all-talk on and keep quiet? :norty:
So who do we have tonight then Benny, Lib, me and ?

:crying: ... me
I thought there was someone else!!! :doh:
I have a great idea. Split up, that'll confuse 'em.

You might have something there. Because if we lose spectacularly then there would be no objection to the admins forming a team in any future tournament ladder. :norty:
So what do people think?
Did it work and does it have potential? Could this be made to work as a ladder style tournament?
Wednesday nights seem to be a reasonable choice and a start time of 19:30 - 20:00 should be acceptable for most.
The match didn't seem to take too long to play so we could probably get two rounds in per server on the night and still have a fun session afterwards?
We could gradually work through a campaign over a period of a couple of weeks and the winner would be the team with the highest total score? Or we could play off the top two on one level to decide?
I enjoyed it. I think it could work quite well, we just need to make sure that the admin joins last so the team swapping is in hand.
Locking the door is vital but other than that, free-for all.
Ladder style could work, one map, both sides is enough to start with I think. I don't think you need to specify a day as there are enough admins to administer most nights.
I think we should try it again next week, 8pm kick off on both servers. 4 teams, one chat room.
If that works we can do the ladder piece.
(From my side, even though we won I thought we were pretty poor really, no-one's fault, I think we rushed it, trying to get too far to quickly, as they did) I did enjoy it though.
Yes I think we panicked a bit. A more methodical approach might be better.
Right team-wise. Should we stick together as an admin team, should we gather names and randomly pick teams or should we let people create their own teams?
By setting a day then people should be able to plan ahead and make sure they're available. We can always add other days on an ad-hoc basis as we get going.
Decision made. We'll let people pick their own teams.
So we have one team? Liberator, Benny, Dr Sadako and Sn00ks.
As for a name, what about the Crypt Kicker Collective or The Zombie Whordes?
I see you tweaked the name I came up with, it looks better now.
How about this to troll for teams?
Well we had fun and we want more.
Do you think you can punt?
Is your pouncing not poncy?
Are your bowels nice and loose?
Know how to tongue effectively?
Have you got three mates who think they're good?
Do you think you've got what it takes to be the dMw L4D champions?
dMw Entertainments proudly present the L4D Ladder Tournament thingy.
The ladder will consist of a number of teams playing round-robin tournament matches on versus L4D maps; starting with the first map in the campaign and working through to the end over the following weeks.
The two teams with the highest combined scores will go through to the final which will be played on one level using the same rules.
Matches will initially be played on Wednesday nights starting between 19:30 and 20:00. This is flexible and can be changed to suit the team’s availabilities.
Rules
1. Each level will be played twice with teams taking it in turns to start as Survivors.
2. The combined scores of each round will be added to the teams overall score in the ladder.
3. All-talk will be turned off.
4. The Saferoom door will be locked.
5. Exploitation of any map flaws or unsportsmanlike behaviour will not be tolerated.
6. Each team must nominate one person to act as leader and be responsible for ensuring players turn up. This person must also note of the scores and post them; taking screen shots and keeping them for later verification if required.
7. Bots will not be used to fill vacant slots.
So what are you waiting for?
Roll up, roll up! Make your mark, draw a line in the sand and stand by your beds!
Compile your team and post it.
Teams
The Zombie Whordes.
Benny the ball
Sn00ks the snooky
Liberator the errr… liberator
Dr Sadako the surgeon

Are you a "Hunter Punter"
Is your pouncing not poncy?

No? OK, have you got three acquaintances who aren't rubbish?
Sod it, do you know three people who can walk and breath at the same time ?
Do you think you've got what it takes to be the dMw L4D champions?
Drunken edited.
Have added the relevant posts (was a little bored).
Also locked them so we can keep the banter in one area and the ladder clean so you can always find what you need.
Feel free to edit...
Thanks Benny.
So are we starting the first ladder match tonight?
Is it possible to have the saferoom locked for say 1 minute before the match starts so everyone have a chance to join and some tactics. I felt it was very nonDMW like when the other team last match ran out before Benny had even joined.
Actually it was me who hadn't joined, but yes we need to add a rule that the Survivors do not leave the saferoom until both teams have acknowledged that they are ready to start. Then All-talk is turned off and they can start.
Yes I think we're having our first match tonight against GM's boys at 20:00 BST. They have not yet confirmed though :g:
