Quakewars Night ?

Rev Hellfire

How about arranging a night for all the paddies to meet up on a server. I'm sure a tig vs pop with assorted extras to make up the numbers could be a laugh.

TheHairyFairy

Yep sounds like a laugh. You sort out the teams, Smartgaming have a server we can lock and use. Rules are the bain of everyones life at the moment re clan matches in etqw. Suggest we play all in except air. Fun maps might be Island and say Volcano.

Rev Hellfire

Island and Volcano sound good. Now how to deal with everyone wanting to go Strogg )

If you're interested stick your name down, we'll keep clans together and use unclanned to balance the teams. May as well use the TiG and PoP TS server as well.

As for the day any day other this thursday suits me. If ppl don't fancy a weekend then how about tuesday ?

TheHairyFairy

Hows about a weekly fixture till it dies out.

IgsTer

And a mic

IgsTer

lol..ye thanks for reminding me fairy :P

my headset i got should be ok once i get the settings right

Static M.e.

Yeah sounds good Id love to play against fellow boardies.

Perhaps we could create a sticky with Irish Server Names and IPs (Or servers that Irish use) clan or not I dont mind.

Maximilian

Ooh sounds good.

Instant Karma

karma checkin in, up for this and we wouldnt need to worry about who wants to be strogg rev as the sides swap at the end of each round. had a look at some of the various rules for the game, i have to say they arent that bad, some changes are definately needed for competitive play. The radar is surprising but i understand why they want a no radar rule due to nade spam etc.

molc

Sounds good to me. Count me in ([TiG]Molc)

Jackabo

aye put me down there

TheHairyFairy

Hows about Sunday nights for this?

Rev Hellfire

Sunday works for me.

Pyr0

I'm in !

Brendymu

count me in

IgsTer

yeah sunday sounds cool

Rev Hellfire

Right Sunday Night it is. How about we say a start time of around 8:30 ?

If you're putting your name down say which clan you're in if any so we can try and have matched up teams ahead of time.

Put me down. I'm [TiG]the_syco

As for rules, these seemed to be annoying as f**k, but they (sort of) make sense:

Map Rules

• Teams may only use vehicles from their current spawn and/or capturable forward spawns.

• The defending team may use vehicles from the previous spawn (meaning they don't have to abandon their current vehicle when they loose a spawn point) if it does not conflict with the vehicle restriction ruleset

• Teams may only use 1 heavy vehicle at a time.

• Teams may only use 1 medium vehicle at a time.

• Teams may only use 1 sniper, however there is no limit on the Covert Ops/Infiltrator class.

• There may only be 1 Field Ops/Opressor deployable, however there is no limit on the Field Ops/Opressor class.

• Flying vehicles are not allowed. (Not including the Icarus)

Heavy vehicles include: Cyclops, Desecrator and Titan.
Medium vehicles include: Hog and APC.
Valley Specific Rules

• The shielded rear strogg base is off limits. You may not take vehicles from this base nor place deployables inside this area.

• The MCP may not be driven left after the bridge, before the tunnel along the mountainside to prevent falling in the water with the serversettings provided in the previous rule, however it can be driven left by the end of the tunnel.

They were rules for a cup of the demo map... a week before the game came out:p

David K

Ranger shall be there

rules have been out since the closed beta tbh. In fact I think there are 6 or 7 rule sets out there for all the various online leagues cups etc, It would be nice if they made one universal set but meh.

ButcherOfNog

I'll play, the rules suck tho, theres no need for them for this sort of thing though. You can't do this, you can't do that, blah blah blah blah, you can't camp, you can't shot me cause i ham teh win etc etc

Maximilian

I have to agree with Nog on that. Enforcing & monitoring would be a pain. Many are a recipe for arguments and confusion.

TheHairyFairy

The rules are more for 6 v 6 games, hopefully we will be able to get a lot more than that, at least 8 v 8 or more.

Rev Hellfire

I'm with Nog and Max on this.
It should be a anything goes. If people want infantry based play that's what counterstrike is for. Anyway this is an informal thing no need for such thing as competition rules.

Excellent. But no doubt you'll be thinking differently when I hit you with a hammer from half way across the map:D:cool:

Maximilian

Not if I snipe you first!

TheHairyFairy

What maps do we want? Volcano would be a definate and maybe Ark? What do you think?

Rev Hellfire

Volcano and Island I think.

IgsTer

ye love island

Jackabo

Thems 2 class maps

Rev Hellfire

Seems like we should have enough for 8v8 anyway.
I suggest we meet up in #quakewars.ie at around 8:20ish and take it from there looking to start at 8:30 ,it'll never happen on time We can put the server details in the topic for those who arrive late.

We can use the HIV teamspeak server games3.iol.ie:8777 I'll create some channels for the game. Do people want subchannels for squads ?

As far as the server to use, we've a choice we can either take a private (smartgaming) or grab a ranked one either the hiv or pop one and kick people whose aren't name isn't on the list if a space is required.

Note if you want to join in get teamspeak and set your mic up ahead of time.

Pyr0

So the tormentor is in aye ?

Rev Hellfire

Everything and anything is in.

but perhaps we should make a no railgun rule for max

IgsTer

im gonna go rocket launcher man jus to shoot tormentors outta the skys

psycho_frodo

I'll be there.

Static M.e.

Good fun tonight all, sorry couldnt talk..

Defo have to do it again

IgsTer

yeah was a good night..good laugh

hopefully itll happen every week or so from now on :P

TheHairyFairy

GG's all.

Teams consisted of PoP with Crimper, Igster and Maximillion vs TiG with RevHellfire and Static.ie.

First map played was Volcano with PoP and friends attacking as Strogg. GDF held the 1st Objective till around the 15 min mark. Then Strogg where able to hack the controlls, blow the panel and the core with 5 or so seconds left.

With TiG Inc as Strogg PoP Inc where able to hold the 1st objective till around the 18 min mark. The map ended with the control panel intact with PoP Inc having a full hold.

On to island. After a great start with the generator build within 2 mins PoP Inc as GDF where able to blow the doors quickly and ended the map with 12 mins on the clock. Pyro did cause some annoyance in the air might I say.

That gave TiG Inc 8 mins to complete all the objectives. PoP lost the generator at around the 6 min mark, with the data safe blown soon after but by then it was too late. We did finish out the map and TiG Inc completed the task with around 7 mins left.

Great games there on two excellent maps. When the game is played with coms and in teams like that it is top notch. Sorry about the server problems. I'll ensure the match config is fixed for the next games. Sorry if my times are slightly out by the way, they should be fairly close.

Final score PoP Inc 4 - 0 TiG Inc.

ButcherOfNog

Sorry couldn't make it, had a GPL league race. Looking forward to the next one

TheHairyFairy

GG's last night really enjoyed them. Are we doing the same again next week? If so what maps and times etc.

molc

Aye gg's there last night. Good to see a good turnout on the irish servers like that.

Hopefully more games to come.

Rev Hellfire

Was a good laugh alright.

Same time again next week ?

Maximilian

Really enjoyable. The shouting on TS as time was ticking away on volcano and we were frantically trying to get drones into the core was quite funny. Lads, your language is appalling

TheHairyFairy

Yeah sorry about that Max. TS needs to be short and to the point though

Instant Karma

you didnt post this result on your homepage did you? a fun game?

Static M.e.

it would be handy if the Game Info was posted here (Server IP etc)

I spent 30 min installing TS, then mIRC trying to find the server info

.. although Im sorted now for the next time!

<-- I definetly need to go off and learn the maps, I spent a good deal of time somewhat lost, mind you I spent the rest of the time trying to figure out which end of the gun to point at people.

My notes from last night, include

"You have to Arm Mines after you plant them...(That one took a while)" and
"Dont follow grenades"
