If you narrowed it down to just fort, sumo, and CTF, it would still to be broad to make.
Dont you guys understand what Nanu wrote at the beginning? This is like the olympics of armagetron. some teams will excel in some game modes while others will not, and the most rounded team will deserve the win. Take olympic sports, A country like Russia where they seem to excel in winter olympics than summer olympics, excelling in one mode and lacking in others. Or Track and field for example, some countries will excel in long distance while other countries excel in shorter distances. The whole point is to
Encourage tronners to play other game modes and promote the game as a whole
simply saying that this tournament is not do-able is very arrogant of anyone who says so.
This tournament can be organized! We just need people to get involved, give tron a good kick.
Also, nanu stated that teams will consist of 8 players. I doubt that ALL 8 players would compete in a HR match. no, you would want the most experienced played from your team in that event. Then when we move to a match that includes more players, Like CTF, simple. All you do again is assemble your best CTF players and play your match. It is a fairly simple idea to be honest. The scheduling should be pretty easy, the only thing would be the servers, which I think sine, kyle, rene, jip, lowkey, and light could arrange. correct me if im wrong, but with any server cant you configure the server to whatever you wanted? simple start with a HR tourny, then ctf, then DF, then racing, then Fortress etc. I do not think the tournament should just consist of fort/sumo/ctf, for that does not make it a tronathlon. We should try to include every game mode, even shooting game modes, and CTWF, although it is fortress, it is a game mode different from straight fortress like everything else.
Scene is right when he stated about the fortress community. HR/DF/Racing/shooters/styball players do not partake in the competition sections because we are so involved in fortress and sumo that when someone has an idea to bring other game modes in, it is almost immediately rejected. I think fortress players are a bit arrogant, and certainly are not the best players in arma. take a player like b3n, He sumos only I am pretty sure, and I would put him as a high caliber competitor to any fortress attacker if he defended. Sumo has many types of playing, and b3n understands that, which would relate to fortress positions like attacking and defending. even HR, a experienced sumo player is used to being trapped and tunneling out of it, b3n could easily win in a HR tourny because he has the knowledge of sumo to tunnel out, of course the traps are different but that does not mean he could not achieve it.
Now onto DF, I have not much experience, but idc, it will give me incentive to learn it. Clearly following the rules of DF is key to success, or else you end up losing, which you would in any other given torunament as sine.wav stated.
I hope we can organize this, it would be a great way to have players from all game modes compete, it would make this a tournament to remember IMO.
