I know the LMS idea was not very popular for a full-time server, but on occasion it can be fun. I am thinking that we can do an invite-only event some Friday or Saturday night when we are all free after the new year.
I am thinking that we could limit it to 16 people (would be necessary) and set the lives to 10. Thats 159 deaths before there is a winner each map. With 16 people though it would be fast and furious. We could first figure out who from DOU will play and then extend an invitation to those playing in the 1v1 uzi ladder. If there are still spots we can invite anybody we want.
Maybe just have it official for a few hours and then play as long as there are people who want to play. While there are 16 people will put it in tournament mode, then when people start coming and going I will re-set the server to remove the tournament restriction (click to start).
This would be a one-night-only event. Just come and play for a bit, have fun, and call it a game.
Sound like fun to other people?

P.S. I predict that Rex would win most maps!
I like it- and I think Rex will win, too, or General D, or SilentBob... but fun, nonetheless. I enjoyed playing on the short-lived LMS server.

O.K., I am ready to plan this. Here are my ideas:
01) up to 16 people will play
02) 5 deaths and you are done on that map
03) 10 maps (a several hour event)
04) Maps will need to be chosen based on a 16 man start. they should be run and gun, not too small that the first few minutes is people shooting spant points, not to big that when the group gets thinned people have a hard time finishing the maps.
05) We will see who from DOU wants to play, then invite to fill the remaining slots. Let's invite our favorite regulars first before asking for the remaining slots.
06) We can do this earlier in the day on a weekend so that our European friends can play. Sunday too so Rex can play. 🙂
07) Click to start, normal tournament style. I can set this up on the practice server.
08) If people drop out before the event completes, I will just alter the server on the fly to reflect the number of players still left as opposed to finding new players or adding bots.
09) Someone here can design a web page to announce the winner.
10) We can invite everybody who plays to our TS server.
What else do we need to figure out? I think we can do this in just a few weeks if everybody is into it?
It is not time to sign up yet so I don't want / need to hear who will be there (we don't even have a time / day set yet).
Events like this can be a great recruitment tool as well, although I am looking at doing this more for the fun of it.

U should have a special rank image for the winner as well. As for any tournaments the clan has. (In my opinion).
One board I used to frequent had virtual car shows and the winners got them.
Great idea Tommy, i think it would draw a lot of people from other clans and build some more bridges.

Toons and I are in the process of getting this going again. We will probably have an event in just a few weeks. It's a pretty easy thing to set up and will be a good test of how well our server performs too. 🙂
