Well, I' d like to thank all the Z-man, and ALL the dev's in what I think is the best way that I can...by contributing as much as I can. Before I found tron, I had been looking for an open source project that I was interesting, fun, and quite frankly, nicely enough run, to participate in. Z-Man has ...

NP, I just wanted to post here before adding it to the wiki, in case there was a process. I didn't want to cause trouble, or step on any toes.

I have been finding that players who have had tons of experience in CTF and may be looking for new challenges are the ones you want...also the newer players. If I have a couple of other fort players with me that they know as well, we can together pull them into a sample game of fort. Many times, we ...

The attached zip file is the complete set of files that the current Crazy Tronners Styball Server uses. It requires a PHP scripting implementation and the armagetronad+sty+ct fork to run. However, it does include the server settings files that could guide you in how to run create your own setup. It ...

I am looking for people like you, AI team to give a free server to, to do the work that I don't have the time to do. I will gladly host it....

I have had a fair amount of success recruiting CTF players. Ones that have played in tourneys, or at least have shown a mature level of team play. One of these players played on the as a Sweeper for Ww after only 5 days of training in fortress servers and limited sumo experience. Yet, in the ladle, ...

I would like to offer my The Server Pharm: Fortress Freedom server For ladle use. I am unsure what to do to proceed. If you wish, I can just add it to the Wiki. It has been tested for stability and load tested.
Just let me know.

Did anybody read my above post? I spoke about SCHEDULING. I am not talking about clans and teams that already play in ladles, they would all happily participate in the fff put on by epsy, BTW, so would the Ww clan. I am talking about clans that have an interest in Fortress, but not a very active squ...

Ok, the one problem that I should have brought up in my prior post but failed to bring up is one of scheduling. I certainly understand the wisdom of doing this the 3rd sunday of the month. However, many of the American players are CTF players and they participate in a CTF tourney the 3rd Sunday of e...

Sorry for the Double post. But I just wanted to give you the courtesy of an update. Several American clans have expressed to me that they would have no interest in joining yet another "Euro" sponsored and controlled Fortress Tournament. For their sake I am going to host a Fourtress for Fou...

To get styball running, you have to be running Linux. You have to compile from source and patch the code. Not as scary as it sounds, but not for the faint of heart. The crazy tronners have a very advanced version of a styball server up that is very sophisticated. I actually have the configs and am t...
