CTF Tourney

[Frenzy]

Chad.. I originally asked you to post the news on the home page (not mono).. I then pm'd you a few days prior to Sunday to change the time to Eastern.. you were still active on the forums but didn't respond / nor change the time to Eastern..

It did mess things up because guys like Jbone showed up at 8 and then left and never came back because no one was there.. Quicky thought our match was at 9:30 Est instead of 8.. there was a lot of confusion going on.. not just on your end but with everyone.. so you are right on that part


Anyhow.. there is no need for politics.. Rambo is back in, the teams are the same and I think the ONLY move we should make is flip Jbone and Armorattak.. meaning Muller would have Armorattak/Rambo instead of Jbone/Rambo.. we switch to round robin format, all matches at 8:00 pm on Sunday (we have two servers)..

Rampage: I failed to realize that you were making rules, thus why I didn't change anything you messaged me. What makes you think you're making rules? Mono's the official.

Crackdog I'm not looking for drama, I'm looking for structure. There's PAGES of random rules etc that nobody knows what the hell is going on.

Shoutout to Rampage: shut it for a bit and let Mono post his stuff so we know the rules and game times. You are just a player. If we all run around doing what you're doing this is gonna get worse. Since when did you just decide the only maps that could be played as well? Crazy eh? (You've been taking 1 persons suggestion and using it as your own new rule throughout this forum)

Mono let me know what you want posted on frontpage for the people who aren't going through this forum so they know when to show up etc. As of now, I'll just put Matches this Sunday @ 8EST.

I did demo both games from last night, granted it was played late as a 2-2, I dont mind using them because a match with this team has been hell for weeks. I also dont mind a redo.

Frenzy, the tourney has evolved through this thread. Of course there's going to be several pages of suggested rules. Ramp has only made suggestions. Most of which have been reasonable. Ultimately we can allow Mono to have final day, but there's nothing wrong with giving input. I don't understand why you're acting so cranky and impatient today. Obv it's time for you to bust out the vaporizer.

Been partially following this thread just because it's constantly been getting updated.
I have to side with Frenzy a bit here. The coordination has left the building. There needs to be ONE leader. In put is great but just read the previous posts - others are giving their "suggestions" like they are already official rules. Those should be PM'd to the tourny leader so confusion doesn't happen.

I would think after 15 years people would know how ctf tournaments work. One team picks the map, the other team picks the base. I thought this was common knowledge. This tends not to be an issue with maps like red alert, but will be enforce for maps like capture and elder.

Also, I do not believe we should be limited to 3 maps, it would get boring. Teams can pick any map they want, but the choice of base rule will be enforced. If a team picks a map that another team does not know (which I doubt), take 3 mins and grapple around the map. Besides, who does not know all the maps at this point?

For TBs, it will be like this: the teams have the option to agree upon a map. If they cannot agree, I will select maps each week that will be used for the TB in a certain order (depending on if the team picks this map for their map). These maps will change each week. This week, TBs will be played in the following order: war grounds, pigremix, and ctf1

Frenzy can also be an official if he wants, cuz I will play in a game at some point and someone will have to take that demo. I also cannot control what happens on yayowave servers.

Teams will be as before, but it is a round robin now. everyone will play each team once, with the two highest scores playing in championship.

[monoz]

All matches will be at 8:00 EST on sunday unless the teams involved agree to a different time.

[Frenzy]

I sent you a private message way back with Yayowave admin code. You do have admin there Monoxide.

I would wish you'd put a small list of rules on the website, because just thinking people know how the tournament's gonna go isn't a good way to roll. If you'd give me website access I could help immensely.

In Rampages post: Final tournament info: That's not suggested.

Where as a few posts later Monoxide puts a squash on that.

And I am not cranky. I told you I'm looking for structure. I get as confused as some of the rest. There's over 200 replies on this thread. Only a select few of us have kept up.

The time thing is ironic because.. you're the only one who chose to put Central, I pm'd you on the basis that everyone collectively said 8 Est in this thread.. and you wouldn't have even put up a news snippet on the home page regarding this tournament unless I asked you..


Hey Frenzy:

When you paraphrase me about "Final tournament info" .. make sure you show the entire post.. especially the last part where I say:

"Everyone cool with this?"

You're like CNN, construing arguments by showing partial evidence. You personally attack me because you're unhappy that I called you out earlier, don't take vengeance by suggesting that I should not provide input.. the 3 map idea is excellent given that currently people are choosing non-symmetrical maps and having base advantage (such as going on Elder, and choosing red, or choosing capturephobolis and picking blue).. also in the map Cheat2 or Spill the blood (both which are rarely played).. these were less practiced maps and the last minute picks meant that the players were not well prepared to play these maps (practice time is far and few nowadays).. granted.. it could get boring.. but we can run a 3 map rotation weekly (it doesn't have to be the same 3 every time and that way everyone has time to prepare for it - this is a logical suggestion).. If you look at any tournament in any other games played.. they choose a map rotation so both teams can practice.. and that way you see who's more seasoned come match time.. this is the first time I've heard of a "choose your map on the spot" structure

the final info I provided is what I gathered from the entire thread put together and I gave credit to the people who mentioned it.. you throw out ideas/brainstorm and you see if people like it or not..

Edit: I want to call you an idiot right now, but I can't find the words to stoop that low

[rambo]

Or like I said, every team state their map in advance...so you can practice it. No one like that idea?

[JBone]

Hey guys.. just wanted to let you know that I am still in for the tourney. I was ready to rock at 8 PM Eastern this past Sunday, but did not want to wait 2 hours for people to show up. I understand there was confusion, so no worries. I will be there this sunday at 8 PM, unless I have to go out of town for work, which is most likely not going to happen. If it does, I will post back on here. Thanks.

[Rampage]

[StatiC]

i lol'd at the EDIT for real... nice
you guys are serious longtimers in this shit, hate 2 see especially you two argue..

[Lerster]

Hate to say it, but i ain't read jack shit in this thread exceptions of "times" people are to play and the names of who's playing.

You girls need to take it to private messages, and or to a private irc chat room and settle shit out, before posting a ton of in this tourney thread.

~Cheers.

PS: I don't care, if ya fight just make sure you don't confuse people that are still willing to play the tournament after all my team ain't gotten to play their match yet.

[Mindf!3ldzX]

Chad im ashamed to even know you, with your personal attacks today on speaknow. We was playing quake. Smokey said sup chad, you proceeded to cry about mono's post and how someone stepped on your precious ego somewhere in this post.I told you no one cares stfu, considering you showed up and went straight into bitching about the forums and rampage.

I can't believe you stooped as low as you did chad, seriously.
