IRELANDS first Q3 League.

ButcherOfNog

HIV are game, i can help you out on the league end of things as well.

I'd hope we can get a q3 teamplay server up and running on ign, then the league admins could get admin access to it for running the league. having said that, HIV can run a uk q3 teamplay server, conns from here are good to it.

Actually on that subject I'd like to ask if there is anybody willing to start a new clan with me. Or alternatively is there any clan that would be bothered with a weary old veteran?

Jedi, how about having Team Damage ON for this league - its standard practice in US and Euro q2 leagues at any rate. Stops relentless spamming with the BFG/ grenade launcher/ rocket launcher or whatever, and means a bit more skill and care are involved.

Jedi

Yep Team damage will be enabled. We might have a spam arena clan league next year.

TwoShedsJackson

Nice one Jedi

LoLth

sounds good.

Anyone need a player for a clan?

Jaden

Oi,

Muso, Lolth and me makes three . Good idea? We can play spam arena when we get bored with Q3. I'm even an LPB, but I'm sh1te.

A couple more members and a funky name, and were in.

Hail To The King, Baby.

Jedi

JaneyMackers

Great stuff an irish league again.

Nice one Jedi.

Dunno if HIv need q3 players may do. El Noglidite is the man for that.

Canaboid

Erm, How good do I need to be ? I've a long way to go to gaining mastery, as Q2 was my 1st experience of fps multiplay. Praps I could be sponge boy or somthin' til I get l33t. See I can even talk the talk.

Sonic

ok us cheekymonkeys are up for it , [CM] will bite ur world

Cake Fiend

Ehhh... a dilemma:

I LIKE Q3, am a seasoned Q1 online solo player, but I have never played with a clan. I don't know many people who are interested in forming a clan, but I've had a few offers to join others. I haven't played online for months, but I've been kikkin' ass in Q3 on LAN and against Bots. Any advice anyone? If u want to try me out for a new Q3 clan or summat, e-mail me: Sico_@hotmail.com

WhiteWashMan

yeah...
but can you walk the walk?
(it needs 2 million fps by the way )

Paladin

Hey Muso,
Im up for a Q3 clan
Problem is Im kindof, well a newbie
Well u got my support if u want it

And no I cant walk the walk.
Why do you think I sit and play quake? :-)

SHADOW

I am currently looking for a clan or if two others want to join one I can organise that...
How good am I?.....
I can hold my own in a duel with second best bots...hardcore bots I think..

anyway I'm @ : nomegas@ireland.com

ok too late

H_K

good man yourself J.

Dk will enter, ill get em up n runnin...

about the lpbs though...
i dont agree with a 2 limit.Lets face it, limiting the LPBs weakens potentially better teams, even if a lot ARE modemers...
there are no LPB q1 teams in ireland, it was also discouraged in the leagues, if there was they could compete with a good q1 UK clan...DK could bate a lot of modem uk clans but wouldnt come near a good LPB clan, so for the sake of a higher standard, and simplicity, no runnin around lookin for HPBs and sacrificing LPBs u should leave out that rule. The teams will be able to flourish and get all the players they need, resulting in a higher standard, and a competitive league for everytone to play against, so need to get caught behind again while the UK giants race ahead cos of neat connections

PS im not sayin this cos DK have a rake of LPBs, we dont but id love a really hard game against a rock solid LPB irish clan, cos it hasnt happened since Clan Trinity.

Pat

TwoShedsJackson

i agree with H_K there, i think the days of limiting lpb's are coming to an end, like it or not. If we want to play and practice q3 to a high degree then we have to face it that most UK/Euro teams etc are gonna be all lpb, and probably half if not more SLPB.

Therefore why should clans with many lpbs be forced to select two lpbs and two hpbs. Now i know there is many a case where you can say that X HPB is better than Y LPB, and you'd be right, but nonetheless we have to take note of what will be done elsewhere if we wish to compete on an even footing.

Chaos

too many lpbs ruin it for modemers, you know yourself hk. like the ukpl ffS
and they sux the servers dry

ALL,

Ok Lads and Lassys, The time has come for someone to get off there ass and get the Q3 Irish scene organised.
There has been alot of talk about new Q3 clans being formed and old clans converting over to the Q3 way of thinking. So I decided to take on the responsibility of setting up the first Q3 Clan League.
The full version of the game is due for release in the next few weeks. So I hope to get the ball moving straight after the new year. Lads this for ourselves, If we want to make it a success we have to take it serious and make all games official.
So what I need to know from you the Quake Community is, Who's interested. So reply with your name and the name of your Clan and hopfully next week or the week after I will Put together a list of interested clans and Some rules and regulations. Lads before we go any further, one of the rules will be a max of 2 LPB's per team, we need to limit this because of the ****e connections here in ireland, so take this onto account when deciding on a team.
I'm also hoping that some of the fantastic people down at IGN can help us out with a server also.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

In response to H-K point.
*************************

Q3 is so much different than Q1 lads. In quake1 HPB's could compete very well with LPB's because of things like Large splash damage, no rail gun, etc. This however is not the case for Q3. In Q3 Rocket splash is small and less powerful but is still the main weapon most HPB's use online and also theres the weapon every HPB dreads and that the Rail gun. A team of 4 LPB's no matter how bad they were would easily win a league against the majority of us HPB's in Q3. Also the majority of the players here at home in ireland are playing from Modems except for the lucky college going fokes. So by limiting the number of LPB's per team, the games will be alot more competitive and make it alot more enjoyable for HPB's.

Maybe next year, please god, when NTL provide access through cable we can then change the limit but I think for the the first year, the fairest way is to limit it to 2 lpb's. So you can take this as being final. So pick your teams based on this.

ButcherOfNog

surely you mean first season?

as for the lpb rule, you can always run separate lpb & modem leagues. if its going to be split 2hpb/2lpb we might enter 2 teams, depending on how many of ours I can rope into this

muso count me in for ur clan too .we'd kik ass.lads will there be a grenade launcher in the final ver of q3 if not were fuked muso

H_K

if we split the leagues itd be all broken up and no REAL aim to play for...
a team of LPBS easily whacks a q1 team too..
its still the same, cos q1 was real fast.

I dunno, u make the rulez, im fine with it as im a hpb and all but it would be nice to encourage ninja lpb clans from the start !

PS, maybe there should be distinction between ISDNer and T1, cos sometimes ISDN = 80, t1= 30, but then again its prolly drawing zig zag lines where they shouldnt be

Anyway, connections aside itll be great to have a good league goin!

Pat

El_Presidente

Stop nit picking and lets get a leauge going...

LoLth

2 teams per clan? we could get an F1 team strategy thing going..... and the poorer clans can only have one car 'cos they can't afford to run another.

Muso: my mail lolth@ireland.com

Jedi

Clans will be allowed to enter more than one team provided they name there teams at start of season. Ok. More info on the way.
