Interest Level in CA Tourney #2?

[R00k]

What server(s) are we doing this at...???

[smokey]

i vote for e1m7 or e1m8 bwahahahahahaha

I would, recommend me a client and I will PLAY.

even though I am more then out of practice.

ProQuake, Qrack, DirectQ are the most popular for NetQuake multiplayer. DarkPlaces can be used as well but you might need someone like Monster to tell you what the most stable version is.

ProQuake won't impress you with the fancy stuff, but it is a virtually zero configuration client and the few settings it does have are in the menu.

[p.s. regardless of your gaming skills, you might get in a few games at one of the CA servers so you know the fundamentals. CAx is easy, you spawn with 100 health, 200 armor, all weapons and your team plays the other team until one team scores 5. So it is simple, fun, but playing a few games helps to know how to handle various situations.]

i recommend doing a "pickup" tournament on a given night where whoever is in the server at the starting time is in

I don't think that is correct. I think the signup ensures people show, where people who didn't signup MIGHT get to play if a signup doesn't show, but signing up ensures play action.

I mean we can't have these if people don't show, there should be an incentive to committing to show up.

You could count me in for tourney 2. Next tourney should be some random ass maps. Have a list of 50 maps or however many there r and each team agrees on a number or something and randomly choose a map. I've been doing some FFA maps with Scott and been having a blast. I'm game with whatever for tourney.

During the tourney, I would have been elated to play a match on sanity or ztndm3, but I was just happy getting some serious games in. Teams weren't quite even, but hey it was some fine action.

But some level of custom map action would be great.

Nice. Another idea.

^^^ problem with quake these days, Tooooo Skeeeeered to play another map. DM3 = Boring over and over and over and over.

Play 3 map rotation if needed. Dm3/+ 2 other maps.

If Team 1 and Team 3 are playing, and Team 1 is wins Dm3 but not the next map, then the 3rd map will determine the winner.

Or if Team 1 wins dm3 and the 2nd map, they move on. It's fair that way. I mean all we have to do is start a poll on what 2 extra maps would be used. A person with "true" skill will not care about the map they are to play on. If all you know is dm3, then your weakness is still hidden beneath your feet. Time to pull it out before you trip.

Another idea to this. Each team picks there own map and of its 1-1 tie then use dm3 a map everyone knows and plays all day everydAy for tie breaker.

[krix]

Haha sac

i'll play if krix's ridiculously bad idea isn't used

3v3 ca dm3 lets do this shit

Thanks bruh. Fine. Dm3 it is :p

[Syluxguy28O3]

since you are awake, how about cax.quakeitup.com for some grapes brah?

not now. i typically troll the forums at school, and play at home. my school is instituting new policies concerning bandwidth use, plus there is a network tech who moniters school computer use. so, if i play online, i taste the school's sour ban hammer(by that i mean they block my student account, and i need it for 2 classes.)so, ill play tonite.

[monoz]

speaking of this, i will try to get the demos up today.

[wicked_lord]

i support this idea.

I think this is the way MONO tried to do it, but it sure did not feel as if. If you did mono, i apologize because it felt weird haha

Team 1, Team 2, Team 3, Team 4

Team 1, vs Team 3 = team 3 wins
Team 2, vs Team 4 = team 2 wins

Now, Team 1, vs Team 4 = team 1 wins

Team 4 is eliminated because they lost both matches.
Team 1 moves on and plays in a toss up of either Team 2 or Team 3.
Now.
Team 1, vs Team 3 = team 1 wins
Team 3, vs Team 2 = Team 2 wins.
Team 3 is now eliminated.
Team 2 vs Team 1 (World series style) Best of 5 matches. 5-0 4-1 3-2 or Whatever it takes to win it.. Team 1 Wins.

I think this is what mono did, but i was seriously lost on the entire rules of the tourney.
I recapped the match and i don't think it fell in this form but was close.

If we can agree on a way the tourney should be played out without dragging it out, let's get it done.

[Mindf!3ldzX]

ill do it. however, how will the teams work? i think if we have the same teams for a few tournys it would be more cohesive imo.

The biggest issue is setting out fair teams + people not showing = throwing teams out of whack.

example : rook & his 20ish ping was subbed by Splinter and his 90-100ish ping during Game1.

There is no offense intended in saying 1 person is better than the other,its just the skill range is really wide stretching now days. I had a blast no matter what

[Mindf!3ldzX]

DirectQ (DX11) , my recommendation for an engine, and the reason why is more FPS than you can shake a stick at.

requires DX11 capable card, and its just a preview that I requested back 5-6 months ago,but its epic fast.
