Four Team Fortress: 3 Jan 2010

[Goodygumdrops]

that was voting for whether to change the date, not voting for whether you could make it...i see a lot of posts like "well i can come, but i voted to change it"

ok goody you're right

*kisses ass*

Before any bickering starts, let's just say that a bunch of people preferred not to have a Ladle that day, but would probably be interested in something loose, like a 4-team Fort match. I personally think we won't have any trouble at all filling one server. Having a second one might be handy if there is overflow and the remaining players want to organize themselves into a match. And the winners can either play another 4-team match, or just the top two can duke-it-out in regular Fort afterwords. Sound good?

/me concurs

Often what happens when clans get into this they **** it up for clanless players who want to play, but are denied because the people in the clans think they are "the sh¡t"

Imo it would be better if it was organized by people who signed up here and get promoted to team member when they enter the server(this would be needed to play), and then four team captains are randomly chose. After this they can invite people to their teams, in an orderly manner, respectively. This is just an idea that would be better for us clanless players with average skills who generally get left out because they are not in (enter most clan names here).

I can promise at least 6 SP to show up

I'll be their.

eh? i rather enjoy when the little circle people try to bicker with me

they all behave as though they're incapable of rational thought, so it's amusing watching them try to formulate sensible posts

If you do need a second 4 team fortress server, i do have one setup. TheServerPharm NY : FourTeamFourtress

The GoodyMeccPers = best 4 team fort team ever : )

Whoops, I missed that post.

I like the idea - I've already realized this within arma, but there was close to no interest in it (so I dropped it.)

I like the idea...

I didn't intend for this to be a clan/team thing. I just thought some of us would get together for some 4-team action. But, if a whole team shows up, I think they should be able to play as a team if they want. Let's just have two servers available with one for clans and teams and the other for independents. Sound good? The winners can play each other afterward if they have the time and energy. (I seem to remember it taking 1-1/2 hours for a team to get 2 match wins last time.)

Gene, can you set up a few of us here with some good auth on your server? We need to be able to /op captains and start a match. Thanks man. Same thing for Speeders or Xats or whoever wants to host a server for this.

And yes epsy, I agree with you. There should be more events with captains picking teams. I think that's why the Fortress Brawl was so fun. Let's make a conscious effort to organize more captain-based events in 2010, shall we?

np. I gave sinewav@forums 1 and epsy@forums 1
so
you both have admin.

your team is in desperate need of a defender

[Lacrymosa]

I really need some fort games before the ladle, so count me in. I also really like the idea of captains picking players.
What's the exact server name we are going to play at?

What's the exact server name we are going to play at?

"The Server Pharm: 4-Team Fortress" is already up, so we can play there. If SPeeders (or TX) want to set up their server that would be good too.

How about this? Maybe Flex can run a server with clans/teams only and then we can use The Server Pharm one for captain-picking?

[PsYkO]

we already have a server set up capable of simple changes from mini TSTs to four fortress. It was the server that we played on that sparked this idea I think..

I have a feeling that most are going to go towards the team/clan way of deciding teams. HOWEVER, I like the whole idea of this being fun and relaxed and community building. Thus, I vote for one server to be a team captain server (we just need 4 captains). I will nominate the responsibility to me, but I could care less if I was a captain or not, just that I know I will for sure be there and I can admin that server anyways.
