Dead Men Tournaments

TeaLeaf · February 12, 2009, 07:56:04 AM

It's easy to miss things in the volume of changes and I appear to have done just that: where do we intend our regular tournaments to now be placed in the forum? We used to have a Dead Men Teams section and I can understand the logic for moving the Folding element elsewhere, but now we have lost the history of the tournaments past and have no clear place to put them in the future. We usually do 1-2 per year, so would welcome some ideas and whether or not the old ones need reviving to a current not archived forum topic. Keep in mind, if old no good then why are holding on to the old LAN sections and not archiving them too?

I'm happy to reinstate it and Dead Men Teams could feasibly go under gaming under In-house tourney's for example.

I also wonder about the LAN but I think people do like to look back. They probably could be amalgamated though into one forum - current LAN and then previous LANs.

I'll have a think on the LAN one as that's more me and leave Smilo to tell me what/if he wants to do on t'other

How about Deadmen Events?

That covers both and keeps things tidy. The tourneys can be stickied with redirects from the relevant game forums..

I'm sure i ran the xmas cod one from the COD section. Do we need another sub section.

Not in my view. Each game specific tourny belongs in the game section.

Don't be hard on him, English doesn't come easily to him. Not like what it does to me and you.

Sorry, it normally takes a couple of pints before oldie realises I am right

It makes sense to let the various tournaments live in their respective game sections but I'm worried they might get lost in there too. Tealeaf is right IMHO that we need to have something more high profile as well as keep a record of what we've done before.

We could could have an Events forum in the top level Community Section which just redirects down to the specific tournament or LAN forum in the sections below. I know Benny posted this first but I definitely considered it before him, he just stole my thoughts or something.

I like the idea of having all tourneys/comps/lans in an Event Section - it is neat and tidy

I agree, 'tis nice and neat and, so long as it's used, adds community cohesion.
