Possable tourny??

This is what I posted over at http://www.Redeemerinsanity.com forum:

So team <SRA>, they mentioned that the player load can support 32. I have never played this mod with that many players before and will actually join this if it looks like it will happen (which it does!) because I am dying to see this. I want to respectfully request that as many of you who can, that you join in this insanity with me and lets have a literal BLAST! Consider this an RSVP section and mention spefically if you can make it to what will be the first of hopefully many tourneys hosted by Tommy and the DOU Clan. We'll do this again I'm sure and I know many of you won't be able to make it for the first run being this close to Christmas but let us know if you can and then be damn sure to show up to the right place at the right time if you can. This could be really huge and I want to be a part of it for sure. Don't you?

So that is what I said over there. Now here, all Ican ask is that Tommy gets everything else in order which in my opinion is pretty simple. Set the max player load to 32. DOU Clan elects a score keeper from their team and has that person play or spectate and screen shot the scoreboard after each game. Set the MapVote to not replay the same map for about as many maps as he expects we may go through in 3 hours. Set Max game time to 15 minutes per map. In fact here is another idea. Don't use mapvote at all. Reboot the server at 7:00 PM Friday night. That will start the tourney with only the maps people want in the cycle. No mapvote, just about 36 good maps of all sizes and types. At 10:00 PM or when the server starts to play the first map again, the tourney is over and the score is tallied and posted. Done! What do you think!!!

Sounds like this is on. Never flew the SRA tag but my start was with those players. Good mix of small and large maps would be cool. Phobos, Viridian, Hunting Cabin, Cranes (DonDon anyone?), Space Noxx, StalwartXL and who knows what else.

My 2 cents as usual.

DonDon also like Dark City.

Good job pick Herm.

That time Is perfect for me School out. I don't have work to Kidies are backwhich Jan 3 2006.I play few of DOU Clan.I am game for this.

O.K., I'm not saying how to set this up but I am just confused about it. Will this or will this NOT be a DOU Vs. Other Team tourney? Do you guys just want a free for all DM tourney? Also, what is the likelyhood of getting 32 people to play, likely or unlikely?

Sounds like a free for all DM tourney to me should be a real fun time.

Hey Tommy, great questions. I don't know and I don't feel at liberty to decide for the whole <SRA> group. It is an interesting concept of having a true tourney with team vs team but this mod doestn't play like that. Spawn killing is the greatest nature aspect of scoring as anyone here would agree. Since it based on the first player up to we'll say 30 then it doesn't matter who you kill whether they are on your team or not. Also consider this, unless it were CTF, there is really no way to make this a team tourney being they are all DM maps which means anyone can spawn anywhere which again dictates that it can't be really team based. It should be a show up and play free for all with the overall winner of each map being the team of the player who wins. Even that is ugly to really think about. This should just be a giant free for all that everyone can enjoy. The end. My guess is that for this first time around with Christmas being so close that only 1/2 of the future numbers of player will show up. That means in my opinion about 16-20 will make it this first tourney. I don't know for sure but I am pretty sure that this will grow weekly provided it stays constant as far as times go. After this one, the night should be changed to Sturday night 7-100 pm.

hmmm good point on the mod can it actually be set not to kill "team mates" if not then it really would have to be a free for all anyway either way like has been said it will be a blast.

I'm tired of relaying all this to the <SRA> group. You are gracious enough to host this so I'm telling them that if they want to know what and when for this in the future, they need to join here and watch this thread. Thanks Tommy.

I think that in a team DM or CTF, DOU would have an advantage. If a free for all, then, there would be no advantage.

Therefore, I say make it a team oriented match (???)

This will be a breath of fresh air for the SRA folks. Something new and unusual. Plus, the challenge would be great as well.

Just my opinion.

OK but I disagree and am glad that I'm not the one setting this up. That would be really hard to to play team DM with this mod. I have palyed Team DM before but I can't remember the drill. If it is possible without too much trouble then hey, lets do it. If not, then the free for all will be fine. How would you do it Tommy? I mean the Team DM thing. Does it use special types of maps, or does it force spawns to happen in certain places? Does it list the players per team? Sounds hard.

I was wondering if there were going to be anything of the sort ever again...

Getting close to new years... anyone game????

What I think is that DOU and nonDOU players have a date (if the time and day are ok for all) for a great deemer fest but this can only be an open for all match just to see what a 24 ppl game can show in horror !!!! 😀

If all deemer skilled ( 😉 Tommy) DOU guys are there (hope there wille be 12 ???!) and about 12 SRA (or CG regs) I think will have a common loop of poop shock ! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

You have not to die once !!! After that, no way to spawn ! (as there are no maps with up to 25 spawn spots, there will be no way to respawn and continue to shoot so NO WAY TO DIE !!!

It will make just like games in AndaDarCustom map ! Mah knows how to manage this !... (me too but I don't have the ping that allows this !!!! 😉 )

Yeah what he said 😉

I think it would be tough to have everyone dying at once and flood the (24) spawn points. I have never run my own UT server, so I have to defer to those that do.

Larger maps have more spawn points. Therefore, I think that the majority of the maps should be big.

...but...

I am SURE that the most challenging win will be on a small map. Only a person that has the skill and reflexes to survive will win that. So at least one small map for sure.

Also, in past redeemer tourneys, the GREATEST map to play/win was Deck16][. This should be the last map of the night and all points in it should be DOUBLED to get your final tally.

Trust me, the Deck is the BEST in a tourney. You can use every style there and be effective. Hooking, hide and guide, spray and prey... EVERY style.
