This will be a 4 on 4 tournamnet
This will be a set day and time Wednesday nights at 09:30 Eastern Time)

Games will start Wednesday JUNE 1^st 9:30 EST, Finals will be played on August 3^rd 2005

We will utilize the home team concept as in Psycho Scrum. Home teams will be required to host their games.
Each match consists of 2 games. Match scoring will be used like last season (W = 2 pts, L = 0 pts, T = 1 pt, W both games = 1 extra point).

I think this is a great oppertunity to introduce some new maps that are a bit on the extreme side. We can include some great maps by Rooster, Dash, Monkee Man, Crapblaster, Triv, Wiz, KBC, MAX CR, Wiz, and myself.
This should add a lot of variety and keep things interesting.

******This will require installing the Expansion Pack and the Mod_Pack to eliminate downloads and wait time.*****

@ Banana

Sent ya one.

I have a concern about players in this league who have unacceptable lag due to 56k Modems or whatever.
Is there any kind of criteria?
It's bad enough that we have to deal with east & west coast lag issues, but to allow known players who regularly sport 250 - 300 pings will depreciate the quality of the game as well as negate any actual skill.

If it is a game about who can teleport into the gaol most often or bog the server so most of us can't shoot, drive, turn, bump, or have any semblance of normality, then why bother. Either it is a game of skill and teamwork or its about LAG.

Gripe Out Loud.GOL

Pick me! Pick me! XD

GOL. I'm using that.

Yeah Nappy, Im not sure yet, Lets see if I can find a way round this.. Darn School!!

Lets hope I get my iMac G5 soon so I can enter in alot more Tournaments!!

@Rx - Get another player just incase I cant make some of the games, I will try and do my best..

@ MAX-CR

If there are players that continually bring down the game they will be removed from the league and replaced with other players from the pool. I have been trying to be as understanding as possible in the nighly pickup games but there is no place for this in leagues. I just got a complain thread in the help forum from Kamakazi for being booted for excessivly high ping. I would suggest each team do a /ping pre-game to see that each player is bring acceptable performance to the table. I would have to say this bothers me a great deal when playing. I will typically leave games that are riddle with laggarts. BTW: What was the deal with last nights games? Everything seemed like it was running slow.. Almost like everyting was half speed. Was it just me?

^Nappy, yes it was slow... It seems that certain maps/players were affecting my speed last night, funny you mentioned it!

@Tally GOL is totally YOU :P

I'd like to get in the pool. Be advised I am unreliable for the duration of the summer. If you like teammates who show up infrequently and play like crap, PICK ME!!!

@ MAX-CR
That brought a tear to my eye. I have asked people if it is possible to make a ping checker script. One that would either check pings of individuals coming into the server or if the server was full would do a ping check then. People with over 200 (or something like that would be booted/asked to leave) So far I havn't heard anything. I don't think this would cure all the lag problems but might help. I know on a few other online games they don't even give you the chance to enter a server if you have high ping.

Ya I played a few games last night and there was the weird lag. One second I would be fine the next I couldn't shoot, weird.

YAY lag YAY
Thanks ladies

Can I Sign Up

Downloaded both sets of mappacks and still couldn't enter Mental Lapse. What am I missing?

Also, can someone point me to the thread that explains how I can set these maps up on my computer to run locally? The Dash maps have.MIS files with them, so I can create batch files for them, but most of the others don't.

Thanks.

@ ggg no

@ Master TMO

The mission files are included in the terrain downloads if the creator wants to share them. I'm notsure what's up with mental lapse. Your not the only person that has had issues with that map. I will remove that from the rotation for now. I would check each persons individual download for the mission files. Someof them contain mission files and some don't. Monkee mans missions can be found in the PS8 download and some can be found in the 3 on 3 tourny download. The easiest way would be to shoot Monkee man an email for a link to his mods. If you want any of mine, email me and I'll see what I can do.

We should have a link here for a PSL8.5_map_pack once we know what maps are going to be included. This will help standardize things for hosters. I'd be happy to help consolidate that.

Nappy and Rx, Check my previous post

@Reagent

Yes, I'm still waiting for map choices from all captains. I have also removed KBC's maps until we can figure out why people are getting the art error on entry.

Erm...MajorPain gets to be picked by a team that already has Tally and Reagent? Doesn't that slightly undermine the whole draft process?

Still waiting... XD

I can't sign up

@ The Walrus
Yes and no. I'm not all the thrilled of the depth of talent on the X-Terminators. But basically we recruited more people and Reagent had first pick in that round. We just followed the order of the draft. No matter they will be exterminated. Just makes for tougher battles. Give em 4 more. Only 4 play per game. Lol

Would you be afraid of Reagent?

Like the Mighty UF say - "BRING IT ON!!"

If I can't play I'd like to take pics :)

You will probably be called from the reserve pool. Somebody always drops out. Hang tight. You'll probably get in.

I will be changing the 5 min server to an 8 minute server tonight. I'm hoping people want to get in some games on the maps to check them out and pick a home field. I may just bundle up the maps and put them out there for all to have. Just played some games with Memphis, Pyronin, Pedro, and a few others on Siberia. I have to say I had a blast. First time we actually had 4 pr 6 players in the map. People seemed to enjoy it. Looks like the size works well too.

We'll see.

Eh...
Ooh ooh lemme play XD. Gonna check back later....
Reserve pool me :'(

The melted Snowballs have chosen Lonewolf Mountain Scrum as their home field.

@ BC!! Are you getting my e-mails? I dont think they are making it to ya bud! Let me know!! :S

Added dj to the reserver pool and dropped Date Man.

I can host league games. I have a Dell Precision 420 workstation I use to host that has dual 733 mhz P3s and a 802.11b wireless network, which is a floor above our Access Point and Router for maxium wireless signal.

Yes, I'm getting Your emails KKB, but the address for SPYTakingNotes is bad (scrummer_48@hotmail.com)

@SPYTakingNotes We need a good email address from you!

Thanks BC!! Get with it Spy!! %)

Wow, look at all this last minute organization! And the first game is only on Wednesday!

I'm not one to trash talk (*snigger*), but this is how I like my shrooms

Calling all Ed's

I've sent an e-mail regarding our lineup. Please confirm that you've received the message since I'm quite sure they're addresses you check infrequently.
I'll only be sending one e-mail a week as I'm not much for organization.

Rogue, what maps will you be nesting in?

I only have one choice from one captain.

Please submit your choices..

My email is xxsprint@yahoo.com

@numbof

Tricky thing about Fun Guys is you don't know if we're poisonous to you until it's too late. %)

Ha ha ha - at least have the courtesy to let me know why I was dropped - I'm sure that it was pressure from the "egos".

What a day!

Well, it's time for some type of policy to kick in here - does one exist or is this fine?

I play well and have the audactiy to comment ("What a day!") after goals and call people out when they're out of line.

What's going on in this community? Appleyards offensive posts should be removed - I don't appreciate a personal attack (although I don't expect an apology- lol).

Comments?

What? You ave the nerve to ask why you got booted? Isn't it clear? I'm not EXACTLY sure why it happened. But I think it correlates back to your malacious comments in regards to another thread. You deliberately and abruptly tried to put a well respected member of this community down. Cold-heartedly insulting him, and alot of other people, too. Until now, you have shown no other member of this community any repesct, for that...You get none. Well, atleast not from me.

Whats today?

I agree, I am totally malacious!

My father was malacious, his father was malacious as well as many before him.

If you meant malarious, no, I'm not infected with malaria.

May 29th, 2005 - we're listening to the race here in Indy!

@ Date Man
It's pretty simple to me. I saw your little posts. I don't know what provoked them or why you feel you need to try and belittle anyone here. I saw that, and thought to myself, this just isn't the type of person I want to play with. You seem to really enjoy getting into debates that have no substance. You may want to go into law.

That's the reason, nothing more. Your poor attitude, and attempts to disrupt the PTT community will not be part of the Summer Scrum league.

I feel an obligation to my friends to keep people like you out of the league.
You certainly have not been the likes of some others here, but your well on your way.

Sorry it couldn't have worked out better.

Napalm

Added the download link for the map package!

So how do I know if they need me (since im guessing im in the reserve pool with dj)

If/when somone drops, we will either post, or if you have contact info, we will contact you.

I can play for the X-Terminators EVERYDAY! I'll be to all the games! My email is mtrombettas@yahoo.com

My problem is that I do business everyday with adults - that's what I'm used to.

See you later kids - you lost a paying member on this site.

What a day!

@ Date Man

I'm inclined to believe you're about 9 yrs old. A page full of Ha Ha is hard to take seriously. If you are otherwise and we have misunderstood you, please understand what things look like from our perspective. There is a fair amount of effort and time invested by the time league games start. We don't want to waste everybody's time with an a questionable player.

Instead of leaving, stick around and give us a reason to believe you will be a reliable player and then sign up for PsychoScrum 9. I've found the community here to be very reasonable. I would hate to see you go if this is just a misunderstanding.

WOW! Well put, BC!
