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 team 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 versus campaign, choice yet to be made. Each team plays each side. The team with the highest score wins.
In the event of a tie the two teams will play a single level 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.
Date and time
The challenge will start at 19:00 on Wednesday the 1st April.
Sort out your team and then post it below!
We’re ready; do you think you can take us?
Will this be a ladder?
We'll see what happens.
Initially it is a one-off challenge.
interesting, count me in if anyone wants me :O
Shame it's on wednesday, can't make it then but would have loved to attend =(

Wait a minute!! is this some sort of sick (boomer sick) joke?
OK, so who's this fantasy "Dream Team"?
Guess: Snooks, Benny, Lib, Oldie?
Not telling :devil:
It will be a surprise!
Let me just say that the Admin Dream Team will comprise of some Admins. :flirty:
Hmm missed the part about the dream team... which all of sudden made this even a lot less interesting...

probably not, i just dont see the point in gathering a team of people that doesnt play l4d that often and put em up agaisnt a team that playes 24/7.. other then the fact the dream team gets their ego boosted to the sky and see the molested casuals interest in l4d diminished..
id rather see random 4vs4 battles with a mix of rutined and casuals.. that would enabled the rutined people to show the casuals some tricks..
but then again thats my two cents..

Ladder! Ladder!
Quote from: Zootoxin;269834Ladder! Ladder!
agreed.. a ladder with random gathered teams like we used too with css would make it a lot more appealing
Chill out Kreg. It's not a *real* dream team and I know we can take them :boxing:

im chilled alright, in the spirit of free speech i just stated in my own (maybe to harsh) tone that i rather saw a mix ladder based setup :)
but again it was just my two cents
I'm interested, dunno if i like the idea of all the uber players beatin up the rest of us tho.
I want to be on Sadakos team so I can go the wrong way and drive him crazy

But you are one of us,
[droning chant]
One of us, one of us, one of us..... etc
[/droning chant]
I think it will be more of a "Nightmare" team, than a dream team. It's not been picked and finalised yet.
If you all start playing now, you'll have over 168 hours experience apiece, loads more than we have.
So, get your tongues coiled, your hoodies on, your fingers ready to put down your throat and leave us for dead.
I am up for the challenge, need to defend my right to partyyy!
Oops this isnt a party :doh:
ok so as we can sort this out, can ppl who want to play list themselves under this post, ill lead one of the teams if im allowed to, so lets get a list going, if we have enough for more than one then we might have 2 goes at teaching the admins how to suck eggs:narnar:
im in dudes :D
Yeah I'm in.
count me in:boxing:
Looks like a team right there.....c'mon, it's clobbering time! :boxing:

Bumpage!
I see no list of players yet, obviously the thought of being puked on by me, pounced by Sn00ks and licked all over by Benny has got you all scared.
Actually, now I read it again, I think I can see why.
there is already too many, but count me as available anyway :)
edit: Re-Read orignal post and will try and find a team :D
Yeah, count me in.

Quote from: R@ng3R;270834dream team right there guys :boxing:
Bring on the pain!!! :D
OK so we have three teams.
Team Bridget II
Team Pretenders
Dream Team
I think we could try a small knockout tournament consisting of three rounds.
Bridget II vs Pretenders
Dream team vs Bridget II
Pretenders vs Dream Team
The two teams with the highest scores then play in the final.
There will be insufficient time to play a full campaign so it'll be one map from an existing versus campaign. The map will be No Mercy 3, the one with the petrol station.
Start time will be 19:30 with the first match kicking off ASAP.
All-talk will be off and the server passworded.
Meet on Steam friends at 19:30 and details will be passed out then.
Check back here as there may be some changes!
ok but surely there could be another team in this topic. then everyone can play an nobody is sitting out :)
Quote from: Jewelz^;270877ok but surely there could be another team in this topic. then everyone can play an nobody is sitting out :)
If you can get another team together then they could be added into the mix.
Why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch?
Rustle up three like minded players and come and have a pop at the admins. We think we're invincible. Here's your chance to make us look stupid. I know that boot on the other foot I'd be all over this rare opportunity.
Who knows, if it's successful here it may spread. Fancy knocking seven bells out of the dMr's or the CoDDers?
I thionk BBB wants to play she's just slow at getting her name on the list. So if there is the possibility of an extra team she would prob want to play.
is this happening tonight??? If so i gotta help TL out with something on WoW, but i'll see if i can talk myself outta it if i catch him (unless its not tonight)
if we can get another team, maybe we could do the whole of no mercy? and do it over two nights??
Jewelz^

Jim, the date was in the first post, 1st April, and your name is down for one of the teams!!!
If you can't make it due to other commitments please advise ASAP so someone, eg
BBB?, could take your place.
Jewelz, this is only a one-off fun night thing. It might lead to greater things, like an L4D ladder, but it's just to gauge interest and try things out.
Ok, explained on WoW section why i had to let TL down
:boxing: Game on :boxing:
Using a dog biscuit I have decided which teams play which side.
1st round:- Team Bridget II as Survivors and Pretenders as Infected
2nd round:- Team Bridget II as Survivors and Dream Team as Infected
3rd Round:- Dream Team as Survivors and Pretenders as Infected
Final will be the team with the highest point total to decide. If they tie then the dog biscuit comes out of my pocket again!
And now here are the results.
The pretenders never showed, null points.
This meant we were able to play a proper tournament type game, one level played twice with each team taking it in turns to start, i.e. four rounds.
Team Bridget II vs The Dream Team
The valiant defenders of Bridget's honour made a good game of it. Going for a rush style tactic on their first attempt. We thought they had us beat but the Dream Team rallied and came back strongly. Our crucial tonguing from the roof and the suicidal leg-breaker ripost by them meant it was all over bar the shouting. In the second round the Dream Team were doing well and we thought we were going to make it. But a well placed Boomer caused enough confusion so that a single swipe from their Tank sent a fork-lift into our midst and brought us all down.
Dream Team won that round, just. 118 to 83
Third round with the Dream Team starting was a close call. There were moments went it could have all been over and the relentless attacks were wearing us down. But we clung on tenaciously and tightened our formation. All four Survivors made it to the safehouse, a little worse for wear.
So it was all down to the fourth round and what Bridget's fun boy four could pull out of the bag!
Unfortunately they succumbed to an early Boomer which seriously weakend them and knocked their confidence. From that moment on they seemed to fall apart and lost all coherence as a fighting unit. We mercilessly whittled away at them and marvelled that they neglected to go for the T2 weapons, which we had found in the previous round so they knew they were there,
and that made it only a matter of time before it was all over. They made it as far as the sewer entrance but a combined Smoker/Hunter attack finished them off.
Dream Team won 1104 to 100
So the final score was Dream team 1222 against Team Bridget II 183. :yahoo:
Nice effort lads, maybe next time :rolleyes:?
Cracking game.
Quote from: Professional ResponseI thought we'd had it at one point, the forklift smash seemed to do the trick, very very close. The two occasions of leg break drops did the damage, but until that point it was a bit touch and go.
The suprise early rush had us arguing amongst ourselves and bickering like 2 stray cats over Sn00ks underwear.
Seriously well played.
Quote from: The Real BennyYou came, you valiantly tried and we sent you packing. Screaming like girls as we mercilessly took you apart. Young and eager was the problem, where us old hacks knew that a little solid knowledge would have your guts hanging from the rafters.
A crafty tonguing, some boomering and a right good seeing to sends you on your way. Don't have nightmares, do sleep well, you've been visited by...'The Admins'...
Now, get off our land.
Nice one gents, let's make it regular.
forgot all about it tonight as i was picking up my son from boarding school how about friday?

I'm still not sure how the points worked on that one, as average distance we made it further (Though I fear it was my fault for dying in the warehouse leaving my team to go on to the sewers without me).
Anyway, very nicely played. Especially well done for your bare take down on the witch on your second go as survivors. My attempt at burning her with a molotov and missing was far less glamourous.
Good games all round. I hope this becomes a regular thing.

Yes it was because we got more Survivors further that made the difference. You get points for distance, but it is multiplied by the number of players using an escalating scale. It highlights the fact that this is a team based game. So it's no point one player making it if the rest die.

Auto shotgun and just blast away at the body at very close range.

Yes, they did the 'rush' and paid for it.
Speaking if which, a rush is only any good if you know you've just killed off all the special infected, that you have a 20 second window before the next one arrives and that you can all run at the same speed, otherwise you will lose the man at the back!

or you get good weapons at the start
I challenge you to a re-match!
And this time Jewelz wont spawn too early as a boomer making the loudest bowel movements ever, I'll stop missing with 5 hunter pounces before I get clubbed then die, and we wont leave the decent weapones. Very big error which I blame Ghosty for entirely ;)

I died in the warehouse (about 10ft from your group died), and the rest died in the sewers. If it was purely distance wise all our team got atleast as far, and 3 made it further.
I suspect there is something in the scoring system that takes the average team distance when a team member dies and not the individual locations.
So if one person got all the way to the end and died in the saferoom when the rest of his team were 33% of the way, the average distance would be 50%, if his team then made it the rest of the way, rather than a score of 100% and a 3x multiplier it would be a 88%.
(I'm not sure this is right, it's only a guess - and not too important after we got owned on the second run.)

Next time we will tell Benny to actually join our team before you rush out the door. :devil: But we managed fine with 3 players for a while.

Quick, pick on Ghosty.....it worked for us. I was having a fag when you started. I think the Doc was talking to his missus. Sn00ks was having dinner and Liberator was attempting the world record for sitting in beans.
I think we joined you in the courtyard, had a chat, then we started playing.:devil:
That was our tactic before hand :D
Ghosty done somethnig right! Yay

We figured a youthful immediate rush would leave the rest of you behind daydreaming about pension schemes and saga holidays.
With a bit of luck next time we'll catch you all mid-nap.

You young whipper-snappers don't know when to fart without someone telling you. If you think you can beat us old 'uns then you can think again.
We'll take you apart and feed your innards to the cockroaches :boxing:
We take things easy and do what needs to be done at the right time. Maximum effort, minimum fuss. :narnar:
