After a lot of debate this is where we stand.
dMw would like to support and field a team competetive play, however the lack of organisation and dedication shown in the previous incarnation of the ladder leaves us with some reservations.
Nobody is pointing fingers or apportioning blame but to demonstrate that a roster of people would be organised and willing to represent dMw in the way to which we have become accustomed over the years. So we have an impass, we want to encourage the evolution of an L4D team, but we don't want to sacrifice our standards or expectations, which based on the ladder is where we would be.
Where do we go from here?
For the next 4 weeks we are going to trial an in-house match system. Wednesday nights will be match night, starting at 8pm sharp. Those that want to be in or run the competitive team have the responsibility to round up the people, get your rosters sorted and get yourselves to ColdStore for an 8pm start.
I'll ensure you have competition waiting, but the proof of the exercise is to show that you can organise and turn up without one of the backroom admins having to do the work. The Ladder section of the forum will be renamed so you can use it for whatever you like.
I hope this makes sense to all, let's get our house in order before we unleash on the masses.
Benny
This sounds awesome and i am really pleased dmw will be going for a LFD team.
I am really up for getting involved and playing in the LFD team i'm however in the middle of my exams and will be free from the beginning of June.
Can i ask what style of play would you like the team to play.
By that i mean survivor, versus, or co-op
It's going to be a terrific summer and i simply can't wait
I've got a couple of people who have expressed an interest so hopefully we can get a couple of squads going!
:yahoo:
We'll stick to versus for now.
I need to stress here that the onus is on the the squad/squads to sort themselves out. Vanilla maps, turn up and play whoever is on from my side.
8pm, starting Weds 27th May.
Please post your team before the match with the leader so we all get used to getting organised.
Cheers

Bump....I have my lot ready....are all you wanting competitive squads ready to go on Weds?
I'd love to get involved, but It won't be this wednesday as it's the Champions league final, I'm usually happy to play & have the footy on at the same time, but theres a few matches that require my full attention.
My last exam is June 4th. Will be ready after that! :)

Weds 3rd soon....hope the team is sorted...:g:
Sorted it too strong a word, but I'll be there!
I will be on tonight :D
I'm lurking on steam already, let me know if your playing guys!
Frenzy, Tutonic, GhostMjr, Serial_Thrilla....
Well played, good games all around. I'm not sure how much organising went into your team, but credit where due, you turned up and played 'awright I s'pose'...
Thoroughly enjoyed it and in truth, you deserved your win, we took the chance to bring Sn00ks up to speed on the latest episode of Heroes and generally have a chat but don't let that take away from your win...:devil:
That all said, the reason for the Wednesday is to see how much commitment we get for putting a team forward to play on the behalf of dMw, so now all people have to do is turn up for a few weeks....preferably with a bit more organising...(like Frenz and Tut weren't just hanging around ready to give a few strangers a licking tonight anyway!)
Well played guys.
Cheers Benny, it was a good game last night for sure :)
Me and Frenzy need 2 more to complete our team (last night was just a pick-up game I suppose), so give us a shout if you're up for it :)
Yea was a good game, very much enjoyed it!
i can now play, my exams are over. Sigh of relief :)
I've moved the rest of this thread to Banter (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=278300#post278300) as it strayed off topic... my fault sorry.
Come on guys! Someone must wanna be in a team with me and tut!
I might be a total git, but he aint that bad.
Frenzy,
I can help out :)

So after weeks of waiting we have a team.....
Browne, Tut, Frenzy and Target.
Now all you have to do is get organised and turn up. 8pm.....pick a map.
Great! Ok guys meet up on steam bout 7:30 please, and we'll scheme, plan and decide how quick to die!

Yup. I'll try to be there but might be a bit late :sad:
Due to the lazy scallywags on the tubem I'll be late. Let's schedule this for an 8:30 kick off.
We'll play the last three maps of the Blood Harvest campaign. We reserve the right to say that winning will be based on each section or the total points depending on how well we do.
8:30 - Meatlocker
Quote from: FrEnZy;278652Great! Ok guys meet up on steam bout 7:30 please, and we'll scheme, plan and decide how quick to die!
As the kick off been moved back, can we move the meet on steam back to 8pm?
It's a good start guys, were pushing them back already!
Yea. Meet up 30ish mins before the game.
Gents on the non-Frenzy side. Let's meet up on the server at 8:30. I've finished watching all of Heroes now so we can talk about that. Then I'll need some tips on how to remove tricky back hairs.
Benny - sandpaper and high-voltage mate.
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
i'll be on shortly, just waiting for windoze to finish updating :(
Great Game tonight ladies. We make a bloody good team.
\waiting for Benny to post the score tee hee.

Quote from: OldBloke;278780But we woz robbed :whistle:
Heh, I'll bring that one to Lanzarote with me and mull over a reply for a week (unless I find an internet cafe that serves multiple shades of alcohol)
There were a number of moments where it could have gone either way, but it always seemed to go the wrong way for us :doh:. Just missing Target while he was running through the flames to get up the ramp while the rest of his team were at the top :crying:
And then when Lib pressed the button while I was being smokered in the train yard :byebye:.
But I think overall we won. :narnar:
Shame you couldn't have given us more of a challenge really. :narnar:
Nah was an awesome set of games, could easily have gone the other way if it wasn't for that tank on the bridge! Same again next week?
Yup, same time, same place.
Here's the official report.
Round 1 (map 3 of Blood Harvest)
Jammy win for Frenzy's boys as they limp into the hut. Pretty sure that we were affected by lag and to be honest we were all watching the football anyway.
1-0 Frenzys Femme Fatales
Round 2 (map 4 of Blood Harvest)
Close one this, the tank at the bridge decided it, when I slipped past like a lithe ninja and secured myself in the caboose whilst my team valiantly battled the fat old tank. That's a map win for the old hands then.
1-1 Admin scoring rules apply
Round 3 (Blood Harvest Finale)
Nothing to say here, an early tank dessimated Frenzy's Foxhole Felines yet when it was reversed Oldbloke simply beat him into submission with a slipper. The game was tied. Onto the Blood Harvest Finale decider........bugger, that was a tie too so onto the Airport decider...
Decider #1 (Airport Greenhouse)
It all kicks off, they open the door and we ruin them, they score 5 and to be honest they were lucky to get that. They complained that Browne was apparently afk, but I'm sure I saw him twitch. Being the sporting admins we are we restarted.
Decider #2 (Airport Greenhouse with added Browne)
Off we go, and would you believe it was decided by a tank. On the open roof we used our tank and kicked seven bells out of them. I think Tutonic was sobbing at one point. Then roles reversed we played our trump card. Snooks hung from a ledge so he could survive whilst Oldie tied up a hunter. I ran around to the Benny Hill theme and Lib took his chance. He was up the ladder like a scolded ferret and died on the next ledge. A five point victory for team 'fair-play'.
2-1 to the admins. Great work guys, we deserved the win.
Warning:Some of the above may not be fact
(well played all, it was thoroughly enjoyable. To dampen slightly we seem to missing all the people who said they wanted to play publicly as dMw. As a result we now have a standard match night with two teams. Any others that want to join in, submit your team here somewhere and we'll organise the matches)

Everyone agreed this up front.
The demand was here.
http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=27503
It turns out that people just can't get organised without a kick up the proverbial...so Wednesday nights will continue as match night internally until we have some confidence that unleashing a public 'dmw' team won't result in us missing matches and slurring our reputation.
If you want to turn up Weds (as Frenzy's crew have done) and play that's great. If you want to play out there in the big wide world under the prestigous wings, we need some commitment.
Tut, Target, Brown, Game on tommoz? :D
Oh yes.
I'll be on from about 7:30.
Righto, let's lick...err...fight.
At present we are going for
Meatlocker @8:00 for an 8:15 start.
Maps will be the last two of airport played in a match format. Two maps, both played as survivor and infected, admins to be survivor first as we are feeling generous.
Will be decided by combined 'SCORE'.
After that I guess a quick campaign on.........Death Aboard or Blood Harvest may be in order.
(We may look at changing the password for the match, details will be posted here before hand if we do.
(oh you need a sub for Browne, I think he's still away, so I suggest you start looking)
Right.
Does anyone want to join our team for tonight, and give Benny the pumping he deserves?

Come on guys! We need one more, don't leave us to bennys mercy. :crying:
Looks like you may have Louis the Bot on your side.....:roflmao:
Err don't the rules say 'No bots'?
Although the mirth while he comes and stands next to a downed team-mate and faffs about might make it worth rescinding that rule. :D
Good point sir.....how about they forfeit the match and have the embarrassment of losing.
I am available if there is a game tonight..?!
Where is Ghosty? Team Bridget needs defribulating at some point.
Good games, good games.....
I think we can safely say that the old dogs taught the young 'uns a few new tricks. Namely, how to die quickly and in a less than sporting manner.
Victory deserved and well played.
Tox, Frenzy, Tutonic and Jewelz.
This weeks scoring is based on golf. We win by a few shots but let's not take anything away from the gallant Colin Montgomeries of the L4D world. You came up against Garcia, Tiger, Tarbuck and Forsyth and our experience shone through.
Good games!
We were all desperately trying to knock oldie down as he hobbled to the safe room on the last terminal level! Awesome fun.
Shame about the result, maybe next time we'll ge the hang of the scoring system.
Yea that was a great games guys.
Edit: My grammar is just brilliant.
In golf terms you won by 3177 shots
We took our time taking 4621 shots over the 6 holes
where you took a very nice 1444 shots over the 6 holes
(Maths may be Incorrect)
Well played all :flirty:

Please see the custom map thread. There is a link in the first post. You can try and get it from L4Dmaps (which can sometimes be nadgered) or from L4Dmods (which seems to works all the time)
There is a new version out, a .vpk including the final map.

Please make sure you have the 5.1 beta which is available from l4dmaps

Well the young un's took advantage of the chance we gave them on the first map and ended up with an early lead.
Unfortuantely they didn't have the stamina to keep it going for the next map and the admins won it and made it a draw.
That meant we had to play one more map. This was a hard fought one and we just pipped you by a few points for the win. :yahoo:
2 - 1 to the Admins. :woot2:

You were quite correct Frenzy:- Snooks had the same Maths teacher as Benny and Father Ted, sorry I argued with you mate, but I was SURE that Benny had never gone to skool at all at all at all......
Ok, let's set the record straight.
Over the last few weeks we may have embelished a little. To understand our reasoning you need to think about the goal of the 'competetive games'.
We, the admins, spent many late nights in heated debate and Penfold is still working with his lawyers to work out if forum text can be construed as litigious. Let's consider why, the goal was to encourage an organised team who would represent the dMw collective in battle with the dirty outsiders who know no better.
We all accept that the bluster and bravado of a team has fallen by the wayside with little or no effort being made other than by your good selves. We wanted to ensure that you understood the magnitude of the task by testing your scruples and maturity in the face of some abject cheating and dishonesty and let's face it, you've passed. You've only risen to the bait once or twice.
My concern now is this. You did, indeed, beat us a few weeks ago, I'm pretty sure last week was a draw and this week we beat you, 2 rounds to 1. There is room for argument on whether you use points or rounds as the scoring mechanism but I thought I'd mentioned it in the rules I'd posted.
Quotekambing Mei win, tetapi ayam tari
I'll admit it may become blurry in translation but nothing to complicated for your finely honed minds. There have been some blinding games and I hope it continues in my absence next week.
As the Latvians say -
jums sÃ...«kÃ,,Ât, un mÃ,,“s kicked jÃ...«su sorry Ã,,“zeÃ,,¼i no Ã...¡ejienes lÃ,,«dz otrdiena
I'll let Liberator define next weeks rules, but let's start a fresh. Good luck and long may the matches continue, now we have the maps perhaps the last three maps of a campaign, and then again with sides changed (easier than restarting each level), to be based on round score, with a decider on the challengers map of choice if required.
....we've been keeping scores?
I thought it was just an organised benny jumping night.
Quotejums sÃ...«kÃ,,Ât, un mÃ,,“s kicked jÃ...«su sorry Ã,,“zeÃ,,¼i no Ã...¡ejienes lÃ,,«dz otrdiena
Well, I guess that explains it all Benny, I do apologise old man. I didn't realise.
(for the non multi-linguistic among you that translates roughly as: feck off you lot, I'm de man around here)
It really should be scored using points, and not rounds. Otherwise it's more likely to end in a draw.
we need to sort a script to set the matches up properly. Will work on it when I'm back...
The original rules were along these lines:-

Weââ,¬â,,¢ll try and re-instate this format. It will mean a bit more organising as each map will need to be played through twice. So teams will need to know which side they should be on and join the right one as soon as they get on the server.
Bumpidy bump
Quote from: sn00ks;281344the original rules were along these lines
the translation:
1. Each level of the teams will play twice with the starting rotation when the survivors.
2. Combined scores of each round will be added to the team's total.
3. For all the talk will stop.
4. Map exploit any gaps or unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated.
6. Each team must nominate one person to act as leader and be responsible for ensuring that the players turn. This person must also note that, dozens of job; taking screenshots and keeping them at a later time to verify if this is required.

Count me in again please :)
Ok the levels will be SmallTown 2 and NoMercy 2.
The plebs will start a Survivors for the first run through and the admins on the second run through.
Each run through consists of the usual format, one go as Survivors followed by a go as Infected, or vice-versa if you are on the other team.
That means that each level will be played through twice, so when the server restarts please try and join the right team as quickly as possible.
If we are up for more fun we might finish on the new Death Aboard Beta 6 finale (please note that there is a Beta 6.1 out now and this is not on the server so please don't load it!)

Now that several successful matches have past by, can we move forward on the basis that we have people willing to play for dmw in competitive l4d?
Maybe two teams would be better due to the amount of interest.
Good games last night fellas! Much enjoyment!

Are you meaning competitive within dMw, a la L4D Ladder that was proposed a while back, or going out into the big bad world and playing against other teams?
The former died because interest waned and people had other commitments. Maybe now that exams and stuff are nearing an end we could try and resurrect it?
For the latter we will need at least six or eight players to form one team. That should ensure that there are always enough available so we can actually field a team. We get eight regulars on Wednesday nights but are all these prepared to commit to match play when it will be on another night and at a different time?
Judging by the lack of interest in the fun matches, there have never been more than two teams, I think that we would be silly to try and field a competitive dMw team.
That is what I think anyway.
Quote from: FrEnZy;281883Good games last night fellas! Much enjoyment!
Yes they were good games. The first level was a cracker and the others were quite close, you always seemed to wriggle away at the last minute and were off and running before we could finish you off.
It's bizzare but we seemed to have more infected to fight and your spawn times seemed very short. Maybe it was all the excitment that seemed to cause the time dilation effect?:blink:
The seven Hunter attack had us every time. :roflmao:
A pity that you lost :norty:
We were playing golf scores last night, didn't anyone tell you? :narnar:
Sigh :P
Myself, Frenzy and Browne have (I think) been playing with a different '4th Man' every time we've played your mob.
We could probably manage 8 dedicated players at a push, but there doesn't seem to be enough people willing to form a proper team for extra 'ladder' games. I hope to be proved wrong, of course :)
Just been thinking about Wednesday nights.
Must say they've been crackers of games. I know the Admins keep hammering us (I mean, last night was the first time that I've seen three consecutive 24 point scores by the admins, while we scoured a paltry 1,648 +. I would actually prefer the Stableford system but hey ho, they make the rules.
At least when Benny was playing, we knew exactly who was going to win on the night. I thought that, with him being away last night, we would have some chance, but no, they changed the rulez again on us.
Anyway, with all that said, getting back to thinking......maybe there are more players interested in taking part on Wednesday nights besides Teut, frenzy & me. We always seem to get to the forum to sign up first. Maybe we should lay back for a few days to see if anyone else is interested? Say, leave it until the day before, or two days prior?
Much as I love the craic, I'm willing to lay off for a couple of weeks to give others a chance. (I play almost every other night anyway)
Penny for the rest of the thoughts?
Brown, I think even if you laid-off volunteering until five seconds before the actual game I don't think you would have any problems getting on the one and only team.
It isn't as though we've been innundated with 'why can't I play, please pick me' posts.
In fact if there were enough people we could run two games as we do actually have two servers!
I am quite happy to be proved wrong and if we can get 16 players for the next session we can play two matches. Or maybe 12 and then we can play one after the other.
I like the Wednesday night games, but wasn't near a PC for the first half of the week. Hopefully, I'll be able to be a more regular attendee :)

Get your name down quick!!
Even if we've got a full team of four you should still post, might even manage to get enough players for 2 teams if people voice their interest.
Im happy to play in ladder matches or w.e they are now . I think we easily have enough interest for 3 teams. We get a full server most nights.. I myself wait for a spot on the meatlocker, rather than going to survival or coldstore. which is probably what other people do so other games dont get started.
Then why do we only ever have 1 team of 4?
i reckon i could get a team of 4 by next wednesday :)
Go to it Jewelz! If you cant, just put your name here to join for next Wednesday..
I'll assume Browne and Tut are in, who else is game?
We going to get enough people for two teams? :boxing:
Frenzy, it might be worth holding off putting a team forward so the masses of other players who are clamouring to play can get a chance. :roflmao:
It is only 34 hours before the game so you don't want to rush in too early and grab all the places :norty:
[SPOILER=For Frenzy's eyes only!]
Actually Frenzy, you best get your team sorted otherwise it'll just be us admins on.
[/SPOILER]
Whoops spoiler malfunction!
[SPOILER=Correction]
Frenzy, best get your team together otherwise it'll just be us Admins on our own.
[/SPOILER]
I'm game, again :)
Whitey, can you fire up the extra servers we have in reserve.....we're groaning at the seams here...:eyebrow:
right, no mercy, maps 1 to 3. then restarted with teams changed. score is rounds then points.
8:15 start, we will handicap ourselves by making sure my missus is at work so I'll be splitting my time babysitting and playing.
(one winner for rounds, one winner for points....then one overall winner based on style)
Judges decision is far from final, all correspondence entered into, bring on the trash talking you wiley suckeroos.
For sure, we are going to play whoopity doo-daa on your apologetic posteriors.
Quotethen one overall winner based on style
Why do I get the feeling we can't possibly win that one? :D
You, sir, better be prepared for one hell of a shoeing.
Browne can you confirm your up for tonight?
Also Target? Tox? Pen? Jewelz? anyone else up for it?
Sorry, Wed's are bad for me :sad:
Sorry, can't make it am away with work - again :(
iv put out some pm's trying to get a team out. so far its Me & ghosty.. is there 2 more that wish to join us? :) Tutonic, Frenzy?
I am constantly astounded at the capabilities of the forum and how well it copes with the flood of posts from vounteers to play L4D!
This is one of the reasons why I think that fielding a team in a proper external tournament would be a silly idea. It would end up besmirching the good name of dMw as people do not turn up for matches.
A sad fact but true.
We will continue to keep the Wednesday game going and if we do get enough for more than two teams we might even have another attempt at a ladder.
i just got a call from work...
theres no work to be done.... have a night off( and because its the military i still get paid)
so im in for tonight, on about 8 ish

I'm game..
Team 1 - Frenzy, Browne, Tut, Tox.
On the server at 8 for the match, starting 8.15 unless all are there.
Jewelz, keep hunting and msg me in steam when you get a 4 and we'll sort something out.

c'mon guys, I'm getting confused here...
first 4 on get the game
we need one more player to make the second team
second match will start after the first is done, so jump on the coop for half hour....and message me or oldie...or lib or snooks
Good games everyone, bravo etc..
aye, very good games. I've not seen a survival like the one carried out by team 'clumpy' before.
1 man down, last gasps for all 3 and a final sprint. Very well played.
(and yes, they won)
not very stylishly though.
cant beleive it, got out of chopper to help someone then couldnt get back in cause the zombies were tickeling me...... so i stayed boys left
good games thou
Yea gg's guys! Apologies to Browne for the confusion and stealing of his spot.

Yea, no idea what was going on with the teams last night, good games tho!
(Tbh Browne I think they were trying to split up our little team after the repeated drubbings :D)
So, we game on this week? are the admins picking the teams again? Can we stop the admins winning streak? :narnar:
I'm actually available this week - if you want me that is ;)
Team 1
(Frenzy, Target, x, x)
Team 2
( )
Team Ben-Love
(TBC)
Fill in the blanks as you go so I don't get confused.
Same time, last 2 maps of deathaboard, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT! (http://lfs.deadmen.co.uk/dab61.zip)
If there are 3 teams, total letters of the contestants will decide order, smaller teams first (so we're screwed if Lib's on our side)
If we make 4 teams, we'll use both servers.
*Bump*
Where is everyone? :crying:

I am about nudge me if you need a player :)
Aye I'm around too.
Any chance we can push the start time back to 20:30 - SWMBO has me running errands until then, apologies for the short notice but I've just been told :(
im in as long as the screen stops moving around in circles....still ill:sad:
So what time and what teams? Just wanna know if I'm needed or wanted ;)
1st come, first served, nothing official tonight, can't be arsed to work out who said what when.
Once through, Deathaboard campaign, 1st map to be restarted at 8:15...
Target, if it fills you can nudge me for my spot, but I think it will be short tonight.
Righto!
Me, Target, Tut, and Browne will be around tommoz, assuming you admins aint had enough yet :D
Anyone else interested in playing, get off you arse and make you own team. :narnar:
Bring it on, .
Wow, organisation. You lot should form a team.....
How about I turn up with my merry band of wannabees and we spank your silly young team of pretenders so hard that your ears fall off?
Which Campaign, which Map....you challenged, your choice. Suckers. I smell something sweet...I think it's victory.
Dead aboard, Map 4, then as many others as you feeblings can cope with :norty:
8:15 as usual?
im on nights soz:ranting2:

good games guys, really close, just shows what you can do once you start geting rid of the admins from your team :D
Gah! Frenzy, don't.
The gravity abuse was bad enough, don't bait them further :(
I think last night was one of the best matches we've had. A seven point difference after 3 maps goes to show how close it was.
Once we'd established that the first game (that we treated as a warm up, but you insisted was for real) I think we got riled and took you apart. 7 points can be attributed to Rizzy who took you apart on the quiet whilst you weren't expecting it. (Thanks for stepping in Rizzy, very much appreciated).
In all honesty, we were scrabbling around trying to stop you getting out of the boat on the second map. I would also like to say, in all seriousness, that it was refreshing to see nobody ran for points, but tried to get all out.
The overall highlight for me?
The quick go on hospital-finale and Tut being vommed, hunted and generally picked on on the helipad whilst everyone else had some tea and cakes below. My PC is in my kitchen/dining room and my eldest was on his laptop and was wondering why I was wetting myself during that last match.
Great games guys, really enjoyed it.
It was top fun, & my pleasure to help out.

Just in case you missed it loser boys.
Whilst I'm here.....is anyone spotting a trend? People wanted a competitive night, we delivered but noone other than Frenzy and co have sorted a regular bunch. Get your names in the hat, get your 4 set up, get the challenges in and we could fire off a ladder. At present it's just the same 4 faces being kicked in by the admin power-team every week.

yuo didnt ask me:crying:
We didn't ask because we have a settled team, and would quite like to stick to the same 4 each week if possible.
You know, like a proper team :)
If you want to be involved, you'll need to post a team of four who are going to show up. Then we can organise a 2nd match, we've already done it once and it works quite well.
Quote from: sulky_uk;285148yuo didnt ask me:crying:
I think we needs to sort this out!
Ghosty and Jewelz should be interested in joining a team. That's 3. And considering we have 5 players in our team we could try and sort something out.
Target is our lucky number 5 (sub) this week. So if you could PM and round up Gmjr, Jlz and Target we could do a 3 way comp tomorrow? (If one of them isn't around Gmjr has a mate called Vinjy who plays with us quite often and could round him up?)

i tried to organise a team for weeks, especailly when we tried the ladder and got loads of no-shows, that was a particually frustrating time that some of the admins can testify to, ppl say they want to play then dont turn up. :sad:
if you want your " settled team" to play the admins that might i suggest another night to do this on, I say this because i think it's been managed once where there was 3 teams including the admin one, so yes you and your team could play the admins every wednesday night but it leaves me and 1 or 2 others, not enough to make a team, out in the cold.
sorry if ive annoyed anyone esp you tox as im pizzed at ppl saying they'll play then not
Quote from: Toxteth;285169Target is our lucky number 5 (sub) this week.
Oh no I isn't - I'll be AWOL due to wedding anniversary and it'll be far too painful if I miss that:crying:
But isn't Wednesday supposed to be the match night? If we don't play matches on match night, when are we supposed to play them? :D
We only play once a week, the rest of the week is a free-for-all and the server nearly always has people playing on it. It shouldn't be that hard to find a game..
ok, let's untwist the panties and figure out what's happening here. I take off my dMw hat for a second..
HistoryQuote from: Francis, chapter 1, verse 9People wanted to play competitive games under the dMw franchise. As the Section Capo I was concerned that we would let ourselves down, so we invented a match night to see if the unwashed and unloved scum, that aren't blessed with obscene powers of animal magnetism, could arrange a regular team to turn up on a given night.
Quote from: Bill, chapter 2, verse 3And lo, they all failed miserably to turn up. Then everyone posted at once and all turned up together, and then the power that was admin said "Verily, sort yourselves out, I can't be bothered to do this every frippering week, get 4 people, I will summon other gods to walk among you and we shall chastise you publicly" on a passworded server.
Then it happened, a light, a burning bushell of burny-ness. The dirvish that is frenzied gathered four merry souls.
Quote from: Zoe-Frenz, chapter 1, verse 11I skipped in a frolicky way into every bar in town and found no-one. Then I saw them, gathered around a burning tyre, eating fray bentos pies out of a tin, raw. They agreed and we formed the fighters for truth, the fighters for justice, the fighters for Barnsley on a wet evening in autumn.
And so it evolved. The players were gathered and the gods were again called upon to turn up. We (Zeus, Medusa, Thor and Mary Poppins) hurt the new team, but they returned, week after week.
The ProblemHere's the rub, posts have been made and made again about gathering 4 together for a game. I want to quosh something here and now, it's talked about admins versus whoever, but it's realistically me getting 4 people to play and now Frenzy getting four people. It's arranged like that. (I know I've called it admins, but frankly that was a starting point with me saying, I can arrange 4 people....can anyone else?)
I would be more than happy, relatively moribund if we could get another 4 and make it more formal but people can't be bothered.
That said it's improving. I've no issue with people posting availability here, but someone has to pull it together. I take the point about first come first served, but it causes issues on two fronts. Firstly I don't get home until 8, so that would be me out. Secondly Frenzy has made an effort to round up four people and I think it would be a backward step to open it up. It will become like every other night so no real advance on where we are.
The Benefits of fixing teamsAll the match night really does is set people up to say, you'll get a game, you'll be on one side all night, and it'll be one campaign..usually. Is it really fair to say, come along, but someone else might drop in and nick your spot? I am open to argument here but I see this as a very grey area.
SolutionsOff the top of my head...
Rizzy, Target, Ghost, Vinjy, peanuts all would play. There are more if we include the admins. The only reason it's an admin team that I pick is because I make one post in the forum on a Monday, I get 3 replies within an hour and the organising is over.
If people want me to assist in organising the teams I can, but there needs to be some show of effort. Sulks, I know you've tried, but there are people about. PM them, grab them here, I want the match night to expand, but I'm not going to force the issue if people don't want to.
For once in a blue month I'm free tomorrow night so that's another one to add to the list.
Anyone else free for tomorrow night who'd like in?
im here,
can i suggest team 1 play the admins for 1 hour, probably 2 levels each way and then if we get enough team 2 play the admins for the same, that should take about an hour each, otherwise if team one and the admins play a full campaign that shoul take it to about 2230 ish, too late for me im afraid
I'm happy with the winners staying on, one map on, one map off, the others can idle on Coldstore or the survivor server.
It worked a couple of weeks back.
So if someone can organise the 'un-wanted leftovers' into a team of four then we can go for a three team roust-about. :boxing:
Starting as soon after 8 as we can.
First two teams ready start.
Winners stay on.
Playing the finale levels of all five campaigns starting with NoMercy then SmallTown then BloodHarvest then Airport then DeathAboard. Or maybe in a different order depending on finger co-ordination.
Meet on Steam Friends and idle on Coldstore whilst waiting between matches.

Hmm I wonder who else you could offend, how about getting GM on your team? :norty:
hehe I'm only rude about people I like (mostly).
Sulks, all I'm doing is sending out a PM to Tut, Tox, Target and Browne each week to find out who's avalible and picking a team from there.
Why a team of 5? Because I guessed that 1/5 wouldn't make it a week, so far it's working out.
Why these 5? Because they've been some of the more active, teamwork oriented (aka don't get annoyed when I get my bossy pants on), and have been on when we've gotten our best scores against the admins.
(That last point is quite significant, because despite my conversion to dMw and teamwork, i'm still a cold hearted git who likes to crush the enemy where possile)
IMO start a new thread, find people (5?) who want to form a second team, message them each week, pick 4 to turn up, eat benny.
Easy.
Quote from: sulky_uk;285178sorry if ive annoyed anyone esp you tox as im pizzed at ppl saying they'll play then not
I wasn't annoyed, I just felt we needed to stop chatting about how rubbish at arranging teams we are and start sorting something out. :)
Maybe send a PM to Rizzy and GM? Blunt is back this afternoon, he hates L4D and is quite appauling at it (possibly hates it because he's appauling at it) but you could train him up! I'll talk to him, see if he's interested.
My bets are on Gmjr still being in bed so don't expect a quick reply :doh:

Match report:-
Well they were good games, when they eventually got going. Them struggled to find their fourth player and The Others had a similar problem. Finally Them got another and we were off.
First Round on the NoMercy finale.
Us 200 Them 280 - A win for Them, one of them thar pesky varmits got away :doh:
Second Round on the BloodHarvest finale
Them 200 The Others 200 - a draw
Third Round on the Airport finale.
Us 2072 The Others 200 - A resounding win for Us
So in my books Us win as they scored the most points overall :yahoo:
Us = 2272
Them = 480
The Others = 400
PS a valiant attempt was made on the DeathAboard finale afterwards, but I think the early rush to the dockside was a bit foolish :devil:, although at least you got there, which was more than we did.:blink:
GhostMjr! You let us down big style, you were meant to thrash the admins for 250 points 200 allowing us to steal the win!
Good matches. First match we nearly got 3 out! But we had a few pesky zombies slap us and 2 went incapacitated on the edge of the chopper.
Blood Harvest finale was going well, then when the tank was due to appear we thought we'd make a dash for the outside barn to find a molly or something. To our surprise the tank pretty much spawned in the barn in between us as we ran in so we got the living crud beaten out of us. I got bashed into a nice spot above the tank and proceeded to shoot the crap out of it. Two of us survived the tank, one quickly died but my teams enthusiastic 'go on Tox, you can do it! Only a couple of Hordes and a tank left!' didn't work and I got beaten down by one very vicious zombie (not even a horde... oh the shame)
Cheers for being a rather excellent sub Snokes. It was much need after my rather poor performance, I wasted how many boomers?!
You don't need mollies to fight Tanks!
On the Airport finale we had none, no pipebombs either as I recall, and managed to fight them off successfully. :narnar:
I think Oldie got a little scratch and Lib's bottom is a bit bruised, but otherwise all ship-shape and Bristol fashion here. :blink:
Very entertaining, as always :)
The No Mercy finale was probably the best of the night for me, Frenzy leaping into the chopper with about 4 health to win the match, just as the rest of us die.
Stylish :)

We don't leave anyone behind! We either all get out or die trying :boxing:
Usually we die trying :roflmao:
But then that's one of the fun elements of the game. That frenzied moment when you can't reload fast enough and the hordes are all over you and your melee attack has reached it's limit and you hear a hunter, smoker and boomer coming for you!!:lmfao: And you are desperately trying to get to safety and there is one zombie that you didn't see stopping you from moving!
Yes our comms were clear and concise, and that really helped.

2 more and we have a third team, c'mon guys!!
I'm up for if needed.
This time opposite of the admins.
Just call it and I'll do it. That's if Frenzy wants me on.

Frenzy has his own special little group of friends he uses for the team :norty:
If you're not on the list you won't get in. :rolleyes:
We're a very select group i'm afraid, we just can't have any old riff-raff bringing down the tone. Benny however may have an opening you can fill.
Nah seriously, I just work at a level of organisation that could be considered less that impressive and have so far been keeping it simple with minimum amount of players needed to fill the team.
However, if enough people want in I am willing to try and organise two teams a week.
Although I make no promises towards fairness or effectiveness.
Bloody hell, we need 2 people, c'mon, let's get some three way action going.
Oh and by the way, we're going to kick your back doors in and pounce on you. Lose suckers, lose.
I am about as always nudge me when its my turn :D
ok, so the steam friends blind deaf mute is about. That's 3. One more.

Modesty, Browne's strongest point. :roflmao:
What's a shame is that perception isn't. If you'd read the rules you would have known that you had stated your team, turned up with a different combination of players, thereby voiding any victory. To add to that Browne's abuse of the swear filter caused the server to crash and therefore I award us the victory.

OK, we're working on a random campaign assortment, but failing, so it will probably be no Mercy maps 3-5 starting at 815 unless everyone is on earlier.
We're playing official rules this week. All talk on, admin_mod enabled and each member of the admin team has a joker they can play at any point to get double points.
Forget to mention;

Cracking game last night chaps, some really tough fights.
Big thanks to Luminance after he stepped in for the absent Tox - cheers for that Lumi :)
Yes really good games, some comic and some tragic moments.
Pity you missed the decider on the NoMercy finale Tut. We got all four on the chopper and out whereas you got one on then he got off and that's all she wrote. :roflmao:
Aye, really good games. We showed you how to team up on the tanks.
A deserved win for Tut, Frenzy, Browne and Lumi. That really hurt to say
Outside that, massive thanks to Lumi for stepping in. Again, best laughs of the night on the hospital finale, 4 escapees versus.....NONE!
(Sn00ks, how can we offload the deadwood in our team without offending them?)
Yea good games guys, much fun!
Quote from: Sn00ks;286792Pity you missed the decider on the NoMercy finale Tut.
Yea, sorry about that. I stayed up on Tuesday night to see one of my mates before he went back to the US, and it involved a Ã,£100 bottle of Tequila.
Needless to say, I was running on empty last night :blink:

Sorry about my absence. I did tell Frenzy that I might not be able to make it due to being on a family visit in Wales and we arrived back about half an hour late so i hope i didn't cause too much of a problem!

I'll be back in the fray from thursday as i move out from my uni crib and back home... back with the rents :S
Anyway hope you all missed an easy target :P and catch you from thursday eve.

Guess i'll post a team then, being wednesday and all.
Tonights offering - Me, Tut, Browne, and Rizzy.
Official Sub - Jewelz

from this monday

so guzupmed again with the private message team building:eyebrow:
Sulky formally withdraws from the wednesday night L4d teamgames:angry:
I'll look at everything else later when I get some time.
What I'd suggest for tonight is to play from 8:15.
I'm at a football match until 8pm so may be late, feel free to carry on without me and I'll join if there is still a slot. So......no formalities tonight. I know Lib and Oldie are playing, so game on, albeit a little less organised than usual.

Sulky formally withdraws from the wednesday night L4d teamgames:angry:
Goodness Sulky, settle down, OUR team for Wednesday night is almost always the same, albeit with some subs when one or another can't make it.
Get a team together (We've shown that you can do that if you persevere); challenge the admins, set a time, bob's your auntie. No use crying that we PM each other, we do, we're a team!
It now looks like we have a pool now of seven players willing to rumble Wednesday nights: I'm willing to drop out for every alternate week if that satisfies you.
Frenzy has done a great job in keeping this Wednesday thing going, with basically the same team, which is what it's all about. I know that Jewelz was trying to put a team together a while back with GMj, and succeeded in doing so as they had a game v. the admins one Wednesday night, they played the winners of the first match.
I don't think its just a matter of putting your name in this thread anymore, I think you have to do a little work in gathering your team together, as Frenzy has done consistently for the past few months, working from a pool of 5 or 6.
List of players that frequent the server: (leaving out the admins)
Frenzy, Tut, Browne, Target, (thats the original challenging team), Lumi, Tox, Rizzy, Sulky, Duvel, GMj, Jewelz, Pen, Boon. Theres probably more but if you can't get a team out of that lot......

fair enough, but tbh the point of this thread was to use it as a place to get ppl together and get teams organised, just because you have the same team every wednesday night doesnt give you lot the inherant right to claim that slot as you own, most of us cant manage to play from 2000- 2300 every night on the server which is the approx time for a match on a wednesday. I manage to get that time cleared from my other bits and bobs on the wedenesday night only.
As for if i put a little effort in..............I GOT SICK AND TIRED OF TRYING TO DO THAT EARLIER IN THE YEAR WHEN I HAD 6 OR 7 PPL LINED UP FOR A 4 SLOT GAME VS THE ADMINS AND ONLY THE ADMINS AND I WOULD TURN UP. It happened several times, you guys have just been lucky that you got 4 players together that seem to be willing to play every wednesday.
im not slagging you guys off, you have done well to get a stable team, but may i suggest giving the rest of us a chance to get a team together instead of assuming you are playing every wed

The "inherent right" you speak of, just doesn't exist. We just happen to be able to field a team every week; because we have ORGANISED a stable team (much of the kudos for this go to frenz, he keeps us together), it cannot be that difficult if we managed it. In saying that, you are very welcome to have my place on the team tonight, if only you promise to stop bitching...
Much better that that, give another go to organising another team. We do NOT have eternal rights to the server on Wednesdays, we never assumed that we had.
We've not claimed the slot as ours, theres been one week where we've had two teams around (+admins), and we all had a game against each other.
Theres is nothing stoppping you from trying to put a team together and playing, i'm 100% certain that if you had a team you'd get to play.
Watching a thread on the forums and complaining you havn't got a team come wednesday isn't going to cut it. I had to start PM'ing people to get organised enough to actauly get a team together every week.
Quote from: Browne;287496In saying that, you are very welcome to have my place on the team tonight, if only you promise to stop bitching...
Its not about that, I dont want your slot( :blink: )
All im saying is that ppl must have seen the post i put on monday, but instead of replying no, or yes, nobody replied. Which leads me to think
a) Nobody wants to play with me :blink::blink:
b) Ppl dont want to say jay or nay because they know they will recieive a pm from Frenzy
c) that we really only can get ppl interested if we pm them ( i have 30+ in my outbox to ppl to play l4d)
no taking away from frenzy, youve done well mate.

GMj
Jewelz
Pen
Boon
Serial Thrilla
Sheepy
Additions welcome.......
I would love to play but wednesday is just a no-no day for me since the time slot clashes with the time slot of my basketball practise =(
Err... what exactly is the matter here?
Our team has 3 'regulars', me frenzy and browne. We get on with each other and seem to have a good understanding, thus we would quite like to stick together if possible. Frenzy then sends PM's to each of us, plus anyone else who has expressed an interest in joining us - from that list we form a team each week.
We are in no way, shape or form, guaranteed a game at everyone elses expense. We simply post our team, and show up.
As has been said, there has been at least one occasion where another team of 4 have got themselves organised so we played a sort of mini tournament - everyone got a game.
Thats really all there is to it.
I will chip in my tuppence to say that had anybody PM'd me, I would have played.
Also I was much aggrieved this evening to join the server only to find the password had been changed. Forgot it was a wednesday. :(
I think i might have a team next week.
Me, Ghosty, b00n, Sulky
hows that sound chaps?
Problem solved (hopefully)

I've asked Tox to be a sub for us incase of a no show by anyone.
Next? ..........
im out, would have been back in time from taking son back to boarding school ..... had the car not broke down and its in the garage tomorrow morning...soz
Same time....same place....will be late again.
Oldie and Sn00ks will be your pall bearers for the evening unless team no-show turn up, in which case they will be playing too.
Ok, i be looking for a fourth player. Any takers before i look frantically on steam. :rolleyes: Will start hunting on steam from 6-7pm
I'm a sub if ya need me JLZ.
First round, ko at 8:20,
jewelz v frenzy, maps 3&4 of deathaboard
then winner plays the real winners when you're done.
scores please.
Final Score of our game was 1628-2375
we beat them in the first game (easily:boxing:) then go beaten down by an early tank in the secound game.
We only lost because we were survivors first on both games! :) (yep. thats my excuse)
Thanks to Goel and Tox for stepping in.
Who wants to be the official TEAM BRIDGET (ghosty thought of it) sub/s? :D
p.s If this makes no sense its because im too tired ;P
Whoever is on this week, make sure you have the new map.
Make sure you have ColdStores details.
The clues are there. http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=1547
downloading now. Will ask the troops they are up for it wednesday/tomorow :)
Tonight, for your enjoyment, we offer.
Me, Tut, Rizzy, Target.
The possibly hungover Mr Browne has been asked to be tonights sub.
I may have to bail.....I'm sure the team will be there though.
Croatia in London are making me an offer that's hard to refuse...
A good game.
We had to play with one man down as our various subs had a variety of problems, PC, connection, map etc. Or were they just excuses because they were intimidated by our record of wins that they didn't want to be the held responsible if we lost? :g:
Well first round we started as Survivours and didn't get too far, only 69 points. We did manage to kill the early Tank and get to the dock-side.
So Frenz et al had advanced warning of the Tank and loaded up on Molotovs and auto-shotties. But to now avail!!! :D Oldie played a blinder and with some careful car juggeling took two down and then floored a third in the tunnel!!. Lib then came in with a sneaky smoker and snagged the last mobile one and dragged him out-of-sight to finish them with a score of 19.
So first game comprehensively to the Admins!
Second game started reasonably for us as Survivors, but when we got to the cargo hold a Tank appeared and it was all over. Then when it was our turn and we were looking forward to repay the upstarts! And lo our tank spanned in the water and was useless and tied up one of our players for ages until he timed out and died so it was only 2 v 4.
Frenz's team gallantly aggreed that it was a bad piece of luck and that the game was void and so called a draw.
That left only the finale!
Frenz and team started off as Survivors and played a novel stategy, start off the event and race down to the mid-point, hold it for the first Tank and then down to the dock to await the Ballon. This gave them an obvious advantage of a large space to run rings around the Tank :angry:. But the Admins didn't despair, much. With a concerted effort we fought back and just as the Ballon was coming into the dock were able to seperate the Survivors and knock two off the dock. One managed to get on the Ballon but our Tank joined him and gave him a loving hug! The other Survivors were busy trying to get back but our Tank and Boomer looked after them in ways that only they know how! Game over man!
Then the server went poo and restarted.
Well it was all a foregone conclusion anyway. The worst that the Admins could get on the finale would mean a draw for that level and as they had already won the first round and the second was void that meant another win for the Admin team!
Go go Admins :yahoo:
Seems fair to me, great job fellas. Unlucky losers!:boxing:

:sideways:
Aye, good games last night - well played everyone.
Last night was the furthest I think we've ever got on the Death Aboard finale. The third (yes, third) tank was already rampaging around on the dock before the balloon had even landed! Bloody hell, that's a hard finale to win :(
Can I suggest that next time, we skip the boat map with the tank bug? It's ruined several games now, would it not be better to start from an earlier level instead and then skip to the finale?

No idea on what's happened here, best thing to do if you aren't down as playing is just be around and hit Steam friends at about 8pm.
For the last 2 weeks we've been a couple short so invariably a spam 'wanna play' message goes to whoever is online.
I think you're in my list, but if not feel free to add me and I'll add you to the spamming.

Sorry Doggers, we've got a list of standby players who've played in previous matches and start at the top and work down.
Brown dropped out just as we were about to start, some excuse about relatives turing upunexpectedly. Then Snokio said he'd be on shortly and so we started expecting him to appear at any time. Then he said he'd be on in 10-15 minutes Then 30 mins later he contacted someone else to contact us to say that his PC had died and couldn't make it.
Then Lumi stepped up and had problems with not having the map, then downloaded the latest version, which was the wrong version, and then finally getting the right version of the map just in time for it to all be over.
Actually a bit of total confusion and pants all round.
One day we'll actually get it together. :roflmao:
Sorry again Doggers.

I too had an appointment to see Croatia, and it was worth it! 5-1, and a great performance, and Heskey gave us some great laughs too. Just outside of penalty box, receive awesome pass from Lennon, "Go on Heskey! Oh he fell over again - oh, he also kicked the keeper in the groin".

Target, Toxteth, Tutonic, and myself will be getting lost in the mines.
ok so assuming no more responses come in, my lot will play Frenzy's lot at 8:15 then Jewelz guys can start once they're sorted.
Can we get coal'd blood up on the server so I can test it's running properly?
Done and messaged.
A OK over here. Looks like it will be a tricky map for the survivors.
So one game each and then a draw on the decider.
That must have been the closest you've come to a win.
Nice try but hard lines.

Valiant effort on the final map lads but scores on the previous levels meant you could only win if you all got off with full health and health-packs.
Let's do it, my team is ready.
8pm for an 8:15 start. Third map of all the supported campaigns (airport,hospital, boat thing and blood harvest).
Winners done on points. So that'll be the admin team then. C'mon you girls, come and get spanked.
err benny its tueday :doh:
ps im free for tomorrow if anyone needs me
So I guess we win by default then? :norty:
I know, you big jessie, I was geeing people up!
I'm gonna be a no show tonight, got something i'm working on that I really need to get done before I get any more coursework.
I will however see if I can still put a team out!
I'll be online tonight :)
I'm in.
thats me tut and tox so far.....
Right, that makes the team Me, Tut, Tox and Target
...oh alright Sulks, you can play
Sulks, Tut, Tox and Target. Tuts going to organise!
:norty:

unlucky admins
lets see if i can spell

Do you have any idea how tempting it was to edit your post there. :blink:
I've got the final screenshot to save any accusations of cheating the maths.
Let me know if you wanted it posting? Well played guys.
As a side note we worked out our weakness for you to exploit next time. At one point or another we have all won in admin games except when all four of us play together. Apparently you can have too much of a good thing.
that last score was a complete freak :blink::blink:
we did play well though good games other admin beating guys
I'm not gonna be around tonight, not happy with where i'm up to with some of my coursework.
Want me to get a team sorted Benny? or we having an open night on L4D2?
It's more than likely it will be an L4d2 night tonight.
Hurry back student, we miss your dulcet tones on the end of a beating. It's the only way your dad can get any satisfaction from being a dad nowadays. To whoop his son up and down the servers at his own game ;)
lol don't think oldies beaten me at a game since I was 5 :D
Quote from: FrEnZy;296690lol don't think oldies beaten me at a game since I was 5 :D
It's 8 actually :flirty:
Let's do it.
L4D2, the first match, the yardstick by all which is measured. Let's rock.
Okay boys and girls, lets get organised.
Who's got L4D2 and wants to play in competative matches?
I've got it, but still haven't had a chance to play it.
I haven't even completed the first campaign in SP mode. :blink:
I'd want some practice first before I start any "competitive" matches.
I'll be around tonight.
Peanuts, if you need a hand getting to grips with the new campaigns I'd be happy to do a run through for you - just yell at me on Steam.
Okay, I've russled up...
Me, Tut, Tox, DA
... and I don't actaully know all the maps yet :D
Ill be happy to play (almost) anytime, so if you need a player howler. Am quessing i wont need any special software for this (ie. xray?)
Already mentioned it to Frenzy, but I got the game on order so I'll be with you soon.
Any1 up for a game later tonight? maybe around 8?
i have the game and up for competitive games. but coursework comes first so wont always be available :ranting2:
Too much coursework, so I can't make tonight guys.
Have fun without me :crying:

Without Frenzy to hold you back you might have a chance at a win? :g:

There's no need for size'ist comments chunky britches.
You've had it, we're a greased machine ready to rock.
Who's up for tonight then fellas?
I am, i'll have no idea what I'm doing if we play l4d2 as is only had a little run around on the 1st map, but then me having no idea is nothing new.
Roll up, roll up. Carnival el darko at post 8pm?
Wouldn't worry Riz, it's only the admins :D
I shall be online.
If there is a stop i will be on tonight :)
I may be lurking around somewhere.
Managed to get my L4D2 fixed so ill be on tonight instead if any1 fancies a game :)
Let's have it you lily livered ladies.
Team Awesome is ready to spank whichever no mark has beens you can dig up.
Losers. And I say that with no hesitation, suckers. And that, pansys....you get the idea.
Didn't realise it was match night tonight, I thought it was just regular, I supose the 'match' results is no voided and have to have a replay?

What and give them a chance to win after the hiding we gave them? No chance.
It's wednesday. It's cold, it must be Bennys 'Cold Wednesday Disco of Death'.
Takers?
I'm here.
or there.
Am around, would be better if we could start at 2030...

Makes no difference,, with or without a team you will be picking your sorry ass off the floor in less time than it takes me to.....er......type war and peace with my plonker?
Right, new year, new hope? - 8:15PM 'ish Wednesday
For you lot, I very much doubt it. So, as an incentive, any team that beats Team Admin (assuming I can rustle the team up) will receive a prize*. Unfortunately prizes are limited to 1 per team** so you will need to argue that one out yourselves.
*Terms and Conditions apply+
** Nominated reciever is subject to Terms and Conditions*
+Terms and Conditions
1. All players must be present throughout the shoeing.
2. Any player claiming the prize on the teams behalf must be located within the British Isles.
3. The challenging team must consist of a mixed sex quartet. Where that is unachievable, one of the challenging team must be referred to as 'Sally' throughout the duration of the game.
4. Prizes are not refundable or exchangeable and carry nominal cash value.
5. Prizes will be dispatched within 7 days.
6. If this is a success and the challenging team win, the fund will grow for next week...to 'marginal cash value'. If the challenging team lose at any point the fund will be reset to 'nominal'.
7. The admins decision is final and correspondence will be publicly aired and laughed at.
8. Games will be played on a campaign chosen in agreement with both teams.
9. Any 'void' matches result in an admin win
10. Postal addresses of winners will be required but will not be published.
11. This competition is in no way sanctioned or condoned by -=[dMw]=- group and where questioned the correct response will be 'there is no competition'. Should the issue be raised again the second response will be 'there is no competition'.
12. Meat Loaf may guest star as a man with breasts (Coach).
I think I'll be around tomorrow night..
Pretty sure I'll be around.
Be my last play for a while, next week I'll be up to my neck in powder! :D

Putting the rubber suit on again eh? The talc does help get it on, but it's a bugger to get the shine back. Happy Gimping.
Team Sucker -
Tut
Tox
2 more needed...
They'll be a good chance of me being around somewhere.
Team Sucker -
Tut
Tox
Riz
1 more needed...
(This was so much easier when Frenzy cared)
Oh go on i'll play.
I'm sorry Benny hunny, lots of work to do in the office.
Edit: Actually, pm me boys and girls if you want in on getting organised again. :D
Ofcourse we want you to organise everything for us Frenzy, where not capable of looking after ourselves.
So that's the team. Do we have 'GAME ON'!
If so read the terms and conditions and nominate your member that will be subject to rule 3.
I believe the term 'shotgun not' applies in this case. I vote Tut takes the title of 'Sally'.
Still having a few internet problems but I have a nice ping last night even with streming issues so fingers crossed.
Good games tonight guys, lots of fun.
Quote from: RizZy;302086Good games tonight guys, lots of fun.
Nice to see that even though we mullered them that they still enjoyed themselves, ahh bless! :D
Pah! You boys took one hell of a shoeing (http://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/Shoeing)!
Which one of you *itches wants to dance?
Me, Jewlelz, Tutonic, and Rizzy will be online about 8:15 for an 8:30 start :boxing:
Which one of you scratches needs itching....dammit...need to work on my put downs.
I'll get plenty of practice tonight when we put you lot down..I'm back.
Oh.......it's all gone quiet over there
yes it's all gone quiet over there
yes it's all gone quiet
all gone quiet
all gone quiet over thereeeeeeeeee.
We win, you lost, you suck and that's why we are admins and you aren't. Well, that and the fact that our new proxy admin Snoxteth O Gradually is a lucky charm.
Great games guys, best and closest for many a moon (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=302753#post302753).
yea yea okay, you won. But Christ was it close! 1 more person in the chopper would have done it!
What's with the links Benny?
Dunno, was going to create some self defeating circle. I used the word moon and it reminded me to post in the other thread, which then reminded me of Oldie ramblings about the moon last time we played L4D....quid pro quo or something.

Recursive threads (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=302756#post302756) FTW:D
We had a backup defense even if you had taken the win at the end. 'We won more rounds so, we win!'
Was a good match, also got some nice insight into how the admins run their very regimented, orderly, and tactical way of playing. Run all over the shop shooting everything that moves.
I noticed that we are getting too good at beating up tanks now, I don't think one tank did significant damage during any one of the maps.

damnit, he'll be an honurary admin at this rate
So, who i around tonight?
Can we get another few in and have a three way tournie? Eh? Who want's to fight us, We can make it a 'Sally' match if that is of more use?
Afraid I ent around this time, a mates 21st so I'll be off out for a lager shandy, who knows, maybe I'll stay out until half 11.
Tonight, it's a 'Finale Fandango'.
Can the admins chalk up another victory? (or has Sn00ks fixed his hard drive) :D
Any takers?
I *might* be able to play - its SWMBO birthday, so I may be busy...

I find that roofies and ethanol will get you a quieter night.
So far I've got Me, Tut and Rizz
And now you have me :D
(just come home, terrible slow traffic)
:woot2:
Lumi makes 4
Oops, make that 3, I've gotta go out, sorry dudes, I'm sure a bot can cover for me & you'll never notice any difference.
I can play :D
Great games last night gents :)
yeah awesome games, we totally socked. However the admins did worse :yahoo:
Just kidding, great games last night, best time of L4D in quite a while!
Good close games, but then we didn't want to put you off by rubbing your grubby litle noses in it, hence our strategic tactic of letting you win but having one game where we showed you how the game is supposed to be played :devil:
Honest! :D
