[Steve_God]

As long as it's during the evening, or on a weekend (Saturday day-time is normally perfect for me!) I'll be up for it!

When you say it's a 3 per-team tournament, do you mean it's only playing on 3v3 maps?

[Twigley]

Twigley.

Possibly - Fran and Cal.

[Alvestein]

no SG, anything on up to 8players can be played on. and it doesn't really matter when you have your match as long as its within the time period of the first round.

[atsanjose]

does ra2 even support xp :/

i think i bought it like 8 years ago :/

still shiny tho :P

iam in if its in the evening or weekends (no weekendevenings tho :P)

[Gooner-fan-deano]

[Maxi]

[Alvestein]

its just RA2, YURI is overpowered xD

yay more interest. get more people to join!! MORE PEOPEL :D

[Steve_God]

Just a few quick pointers for others now I've re-installed it:
- You may need to change the compatibility settings for 'game.exe' and 'ra2.exe' in the installed directory for it to run properly in xp, and also 'setup.exe' on the CD.
- You will need to download the 1.006 update patch from the net, and then once you go to use it, you'll have one more very quick update, it's restart, and you're done! :)

Ps: Team name confirmed: 'The Darkness Under Your Bed'

[Alvestein]

i put a guide on the link if people don't know how to set it all up ^^

[Mysterious]

Yeah, I wanna play, need a team tho =P

[atsanjose]

are you guys are waiting for the reincarnation of jezus?

[Steve_God]

It's looking that way... :?

[Steve_God]

Ummm... is this going ahead?

[BlackWolf]

I wanna play!

[No-Dachi]

About what time are you thinking?

[BlackWolf]

Because i really like this idea of this tournament and it seems nothing is done... I think its time to take over this whole crap...
So so far we have:

Team Disco_Kings

Hiuey
Davs
Dennis

Team FFSBBQSAUCE (bushtarion)
Twigley
Franny
Cal

Team confirmed:
atsanjose,
Maxi
Steve_God


Nonteamed players:
Dachi
f0xx
BW
Mysterious


Now all of those who are in team please nominate team leader, and then arrange battle with another team leader...
Hell its that simple... 2 teams agrees to battle and thats it...
Only rules needs to be clarified.

[atsanjose]

Hooray for team confirmed!!


ow and you forgot to list yourselfs BW :P

[Steve_God]

Team Confirmed was renamed to:
'The Darkness Under Your Bed' :D

[BlackWolf]

I think i have myself listed in nonteamed players ;)
As you atsanjose and Steve are both showing up as leaders of your team... how bout some "rule" suggestions and then you both could organize a time and place for your teams to collide....
At least that way we could get this thing started and first game played.

[No-Dachi]

Hand me a team and get me a match on say monday evening (I'm off hunting from tuesday-friday), or the next week again, and I'm in!

[Steve_God]

Ok... The only rule I'd want to implement would be:

No Rushing
Roughly a 5 minute 'peace time' to allow a fair start-up growth time.

Any others?

[BlackWolf]

Well basic stuff like:
2 games, both teams picks a map.
No harvester killing? No mass weapons? etc.
If you all are fine with some map or someone knows good map then all could use same and one match.
Rest of rules like no rush is what people wants to make of it...
Startig funds 10k? No extra starting units?

[Maxi]

5 minutes of no attacks?! No Harvester killing? Most games don't even last that long and killing harvesters/reducing enemy economy is one of the best used tactics to gain the upper hand... :P

[Steve_God]

I don't agree with the no harvester killing either, but I do think that there should be at least a few minutes of peace to start with.

I know many games 'can' last about 90 seconds, but I'm not a fan of those games :P

[BlackWolf]

Those were examples...
Theres a lot of rules that actually needs to be decided, alone in how to start map, unit amount etc.
No harv killing is one of those rules which i have found to be making gaming most fun. But as i said those are examples.
If such tourney is going to be held it needs such rules that after first and still after last fight no one can say "but that wasnt fair", "they broke rules" etc.

[No-Dachi]

I love the tactic of killing harves, but I can see the reason for banning it. It makes for a lot longer games. But there should also be some rule about not being reckless with your harves. And stationary buildings/defences killing harves should be perfectly legal.

[Steve_God]

Yeah... that could be abused with the Soviet Harvies with the guns on them... :P

[atsanjose]

i would say: less fussing over rules and more playing

who wants to battle saturday midday? (arround 10ish to arround 20ish gmt)

[BlackWolf]

aargh... i said harv rule is example...FFS
Rules are there to make game fun and fair, to actually show whos the best.
And some rules are always needed so all fights can be compareable... If for one fight theres next to no techs and no starting funds and in other theres all full whats the point?

Some rules are aways must.

[BlackWolf]

Been trying for few days now to find someone to play with...
Well if someone is interested just come to poke me in IRC.

[Alvestein]

hey BW, thanks for taking over lol. i kinda gave up due to lack of interest (by others AND myself)
