Organise your match time etc here :)

@ Sil

I'm in agreement with that.

Yea..30 seconds can make or break a game. I really don't want to go that way. We can dive--sounds ok to me...or

1. Game number 1 ends..new game begins

2. When new game begins..I'll say now

3. everyone leaves to switch colors which makes game re-start at zero

4. When you return as new color...game on

I'm good either way except the game "ends with the 30 second clock"..don't like that one.

Thoughts??

I think leaving at the end of 30 seconds would work best. I'm trying to think though.... When you get to the scores scren is there a button to just leave the game? Or do you have to 'quit' all together.

@LilAlienD

You just quit & re-enter as a different color then game on

There is a 'cancel' button which quits to the server list

I doubt the game will be close in the last 30 seconds. This is not trash talk, but simply due to the terrain variations in and around each goal. Thats why we're switching colors.

My concern is around the fairest way to ensure each team has equal opportunity (or chance) to get the scrum first.

Unless there is a way to "reset" the game while in it, than I'll go for the "mutual dive" start, as long as the team that does not have the scrum gets to say "dive", and all teams are at full health when they dive.

Ok, what's wrong with this idea:

1. The game ends and the score screen pops up.

2. Everyone quits right there, changes colors, and reenters the game.

3. Once we respawn, we don't move until everyone has re-entered.

4. Someone says go and it's on!

I mean, I'm not going to move because I don't see any reason to cheat in a three on three game. If you move then you're barred from entering future tournaments.

Thoughts?

@(UF)silbarcalis--GENIUS--I'm good with that..Oddball???

Mmmm, call me anal retentive (why not, my wife does) but someone will be tempted in the heat of competition to creep and the other team (or even teamates) will have no clue it happened. Plus the randomness/confusion of respawning won't be there, everyone can turn and pick their line to the Scrum but this is an advantage to everyone. As for the bouncing t raider mentions above, I only see this in Scrum. In CTF the flag is always in the same spot, so this is not an issue.

I'll go with Silbarcalis and elect you to say "GAME ON" once I say "READY" after respawning into the second game. Don't think there is any real is advantage/disadvantage this way.

@(UF)Silbarcalis

You da man.

@Oddball

I don't care what your wife says, you're very easy to deal with.

@ ALL

Let' get this SHOW ON THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't gotten crap done at work this week I am so pumped.

@ Chief Glad I'm not the only one way behind at work :P

@ Oddball...Anal retentive...well you said to XD XD XD

I agree with chief...lets go.....

My suggestion is what the scrum leagues have found to work the best. The entire game including the timer seconds MUST be played as they can be crucial. Sib's idea can work too as long as nobody moves at all...Its all close enough...lets doit

GAME ON!!!

B

Game on!!! With or without a complete team!!!

@ Both teams

Woooooohoooooooooooo!

See y'all tonight!

@oddball--thats the right attitude :) let the games begin......

And for the record, -z- has assigned us a 3rd...

Greg |bot| get's to play afterall? I'm glad... That guy was really geeked up about getting the chance to play! :)

@Oddball and MOE - I understand your match is tonight at 9:30 PM EDT. Our match with Lancer's team was scheduled for 10 PM EDT tonight, but we will watch the servers closely to make absolutely sure you guys are done before we enter, so as not to cause disruption. We'd be greatly appreciative if you can both do your best to start and end on time, so we aren't waiting too long to start. -z- will be waking up in the middle of the night for our match, and some of us need to be off by a certain time.

Good luck to both of you! May the best team win, but more importantly, have a great game!

OM

@ OM & ALL

Team CRUSH will be ready promptly at 9:30 if not earlier...the rest is up to the Kelly's..see what you guys can do to accommodate OM's team...& after game 2--we need to leave quickly to free up the league server..we can meet up after in a ctf server afterwords for game banter...

@ Kelly's Heroes

I want to congratulate all three of you on a well-fought battle. You guys rock!

@ TEAM CRUSH

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!! Sil & Moe, you guys were on fire tonight. Great job Sil. Thanks for picking me, Moe.

Team Crush -v- Kelly's Hero's results 5-6-04 9:30PM

Game 1. Team Crush 12 -- Team Kelly 2

Game 2. Team Crush 12 -- Team Kelly 1

Good game team kelly..you guys gave a great effort..Thanks for the fun games

And team crush..... XD XD XD couldn't ask for more than you guys gave tonight..great job

Ouch.. Tough break there Kelly's Heroes. Nasty team to be up against though...

Still, a CTF league will be starting up in a couple of weeks :)

-Z-

Oh, the huge manitee...

We got CRUSHed. Its going to be a long time until I'm going to feel comfortable showing my face around CTF again. My performance based self-esteem just can't take this humiliating defeat.

Very tight coordinated attacks CRUSH, I'll be even more disappointed if you guys don't take the tourny.

All I want to know is how did all 3 of you manage to get Lava Rock powerups at the same time, when all I ever got were those bouncy purple balls?

(they had -z- help with the programming) Just kidding :) :)

@oddball - I only got those damn purple bouncy-balls as well so I just stopped looking for the power-ups

@majorpain - I laughed so hard at that picture that I shot the water out of my nose!

@kelly's heros - great games! I don't think the score reflects the level of play. At any moment I thought you would be making a run...

@crush - truely inspired play. You guys rock!

I can't wait for round two! I got nothing done this week, which means I'm sure I'll get less done next week!

Thanks for setting this up -z-!

Late,

Sil

@Oddball

I gave up on the powerups. When I needed health, I got pulpe bouncy balls - when I needed lava rocks I got brains and then wound up killing my self with them (remember my throwing 4 or 5 over your head while you killed me?)

@Majorpain

Great picture!

@TEAM CRUSH

I'm still pumped...am still grinning from EAR to EAR. "A well-oiled machine".

Again, those were some of most intense two games in memory....thanks for the competition.

@ oddball

We got CRUSHed. Its going to be a long time until I'm going to feel comfortable showing my face around CTF again. My performance based self-esteem just can't take this humiliating defeat .

You guys played great..nothing to be ashamed of at all..We just happened to have a "A well-oiled machine" . As sil put it so well..I don't think the score reflects the level of play. Thanks again for the great games & memories

If you guys need some practice, let us know!!! We won't officially call it a rematch.

I would totally be down with a good practice mainly because we would have some awesome games!

Maybe log into the new map next week?

@CRUSH - thoughts on this?

I'm down with it.

Sounds like fun. I would definitely like to get some good 3 v 3 practice in before the next tourney.

So we just need Moe & Leech and we're there.

Hopefully -z- will have the new / next map up Monday.

@ :P Team CRUSH XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

Anytime... XD I'm in for sure
