Quick Chat with Bigfoot...

DeVore

FYI...


[16:43] <DeVore> I'm being asked for info I havent got
[16:43] <DeVore> thought you might be able to help me
[16:43] <bigfoot> okey...
[16:43] <DeVore> ok some simple things
[16:43] <DeVore> 1. Is the next bit a straight knock out?
[16:44] <bigfoot> no
[16:44] <bigfoot> round robin
[16:44] <DeVore> league?
[16:44] <bigfoot> 2 x groups of 4
[16:44] <bigfoot> with semis and thena 3rd/4th place playoff and final
[16:44] <DeVore> ok

[16:45] <DeVore> will spectators be allowed?
[16:45] <bigfoot> yes, but not near the pc's
[16:45] <DeVore> ok
[16:45] <DeVore> cos we have a few coming with us
[16:45] <bigfoot> only ppl allowed near the pc's will be the players, captain, and a few journos
[16:45] <DeVore> so long as they can drink and cheer at a screen thats kewl by them
[16:45] <bigfoot> you know how its going to work yeh?
[16:45] <DeVore> no
[16:45] <bigfoot> like EU v US at rapture
[16:45] <DeVore> ok
[16:46] <bigfoot> you will be allowed to talk to players
[16:46] <bigfoot> "coach them"
[16:46] <bigfoot> but no standing there with 4 stop watches

[16:48] <DeVore> we're going to hold a lan event to see who are the good players on lan
[16:48] <DeVore> what I need to know is, are we restricted to the named 8 players
[16:48] <DeVore> or is there a break during which we specify a new team?
[16:49] <bigfoot> you can change it for your final team
[16:49] <bigfoot> remember 4 ppl + captain get funded to attend


[16:51] <DeVore> ok but someone who is not us is paying for flights and accom yes?
[16:51] <bigfoot> yes
[16:51] <DeVore> kewl
[16:51] <bigfoot> for the 4 + captain
[16:51] <DeVore> for 5 people
[16:51] <DeVore> grand
[16:51] <bigfoot> travel, hotel accomodation
[16:51] <bigfoot> travelling on the friday, returning late sunday

[16:54] <DeVore> you had best send me details of who to contact in TPF
[16:55] <DeVore> ah yes, another question, mice and keyboards... whats gonna happen with them?
[16:55] <bigfoot> as far as i understand it
[16:55] <bigfoot> i will need a list of what mice your lads use
[16:56] <bigfoot> and they will source them for the event
[16:56] <bigfoot> you won't be allowed to bring any hardware
[16:56] <bigfoot> to the event
[16:56] <DeVore> thats really annoying by TPF but I guess we have to live with it
[16:57] <bigfoot> well ideally everyone would have their own pc
[16:57] <bigfoot> but thats impractical, wouldn't be a location in london which could do that properly
[16:58] <bigfoot> we would have to hire a large scale venue, kit it out
[16:58] <bigfoot> our pockets arent that deep (yet ;p)
[16:58] <DeVore> yeah
[16:58] <DeVore> I can imagine

Jay

Yes, bunny is the man.

For Q3 I use one of those force feed back steering wheels with pedals and it has to have the buttons on it, cos they are my weapon change buttons. It is USB. It also has a horn and indicators. I use the horn when I get quad.

Sometimes it is superintelligent.

Jay

no really, the Microsoft intellimouse. It has to have a Matt finish, NOT gloss.

I vote bunny, the lad knows his tactics and always seems to tell me just the right thing to do at the right time.

lol! funny that isnt it...


No, I was thinking of being the person to stand behind you during the game. I will periodically cover ser's eyes with my hands and go "Guess Who!" in a loud annoying voice.

Or I might vote for bunny. Its a close call.

Tom.

El_Presidente

So who gets to stand behind us during the games?

I vote bunny, the lad knows his tactics and always seems to tell me just the right thing to do at the right time.
