SNS/TU Match in RQ

[Baker]

Spooker_TU fuck yeah therell be a skill mismatch--were gonna destroy them

Well, I don't know what will happen in a RuneQuake match because as far as I know no one has ever done a team RuneQuake game and I don't think anyone has a clue how that will pan out.

But aside from that, you guys will in the future be referring to TU's defeat of SNS at CA as "hey remember that one time"

@Baker - not sure if Sole or Phenom have notified you, but I can make it to this match. I'll be sure to put spooker and fuzznut in their place after talking all the shmack

[Baker]

We are going to do full rotation for this match and the more the merrier.

Paradise will be playing too. I invited Rune and hope he and Destroyer come, and Paul may come as well and I hope you play as well.

Paradise can only play the first hour, so she would be in the earlier games for sure.

My only concern is the awkwardness of only being able to have 4 SNS players on 26002 at the same time and the difficulties encountered in switching players when not everyone can be connected at the same time.

(I'm assuming Phenom and Sole will be around and maybe Bryant. Mithril is joining SNS, but he wasn't in SNS a week ago when the match was arranged and according to teh rulez he isn't eligible to play.)

[Canadian*Sniper]

how about the bench warmers chill in shmack:26001 until someone from 26002 comes to notify them that the match is over and we're switching up. I just hope that no one outside of the 2 clans joins in and prevents a 4v4.

- since when did I make more posts than Baker? -

oh ya, Sole can only play for 1 hour as well (he thinks) and I gave +speed a message about the match so he "might" show up depending if he got the message. This will be fun

I will put at least 1 hour into participating depending on my situation in RL.

note i said that in private!! =0

anyways. no objection here to mith playing; we havent arranged a time or date yet, and we clearly still have things to iron out. yes, there's no way we could have a 4v4 with only 8 spots on the server. (anyone remember the good ol days of quake tv, where one observer in the match rebroadcast it to another server so everyone could observe without slowing down the server?) i will try some behind the scenes negotiation with slot, regarding increasing the 8 player limit and getting a temporary admin code. i think you should do the same baker since you have a longer/better history with him so he probably trusts you more

[Canadian*Sniper]

5. Match: Wednesday February 28th @ 10:30 PM Eastern, best of 5.

Here are the set rules. Yes 4v4 will be complicated but it's possible as long as the bench warmers stick in 26001 and wait for someone in 26002 to tell them to switch up.

Should be ok.

lol at baker.

Btw the trying to balance out the skill level will just let the luckier clan win. Skill mismatches are what clans are all about, see who's the best

[Fuzznut]

note i said that in private!! =0

Actually that was said in the TU irc main room which is fairly public =0

But considering it was done in a spirit of joking no one get up in a huff.

[Solecord]

I may only be around for the first hour of the match... not sure yet if I can stick around longer or not.

[Baker]

i think you should do the same baker since you have a longer/better history with him so he probably trusts you more

Slot treats everyone who is a respectable and involved member of the community equally.

I think Slot prefers to hear from others (not me) more than me because I've asked him for a LOT of things over the years.

If tomorrow's match isn't going to happen for some reason, that would be a shame because I think most people were under the impression that it was going to.

[spooker]

hmmm i never saw that suggestion for a match time, sorry. I dont think any TU will show up. Besides, i thought we were still negotiating server, # of slots etc. I thought this would happen like a week or more from now. Anyways, Baker just agreed with me to call off any match for tonight, due to miscommunication. Lets work on the rest of the shit (ie spawn shields--on or not? # of slots, etc) and set a date and time in a few days, and have the match towards the end of the week of march 5-11. About other options, i think we should use the same setup as is normally found now on Shmack 26000, unless there is a reason to change something. Like we agreed to have alt-weapons off, for example

[Baker]

No problem, it can be done some other time.

I sent you a private message, btw.

[spooker]

to keep yall posted, Slot said he is going to accommodate us; i will let you guys know when he sets everything up then we can set a time. Sorry it takes so long, but i dont think this has been done for several years, if ever

[Baker]

That's certainly good news, good job. It will be interesting to do, and at least a few players in both SNS and TU like playing RQ.

And yeah, it's never been done before so I don't think anyone really knows what to expect.

[spooker]

Baker and I have agreed to set the TU-SNS Runequake match for next Thursday, March 22, at 10:30 EST. It is on quake.shmack.net:26002. Thanks to Slot for accomodating us!! Hope to see everyone there! So here are the rules:

1. STFU rule--no unnecessary talking before the match starts and between matches, when we are trying to start a game. There is no mute function on shmack so those who break this rule will be kicked.
2. Alt weapons off
3. Hook on (+hook)
4. Aiming for a 4v4, best of 5
5. Server defaults: spawn shields off, team damage off (can't hurt your teammates)
6. Map choice order is: TU, SNS, SNS, TU, e4m3. Map choices are limited to ID maps but need not be announced beforehand.
7. Score limit is 50. Time limit is 15 (I think). Not sure how to change this.

Having a runequake clan match is innovative, so no one really knows what to expect. Looking forward to it!
