The one on one and FFA tourneys are great because there is no need for teams. Most people bring at least one friend so two on two works out good as well.
There never seems to be enough teams for games types like CTF. I'd like to see an Onslaught Tourney in the future, but from what I have seen in the past, there most likely won't be enough teams to get it rolling. The way it is now you have to bring your own team. If you don't have one when you get there you have to hope you can find one or form one. A suggestion would be to have a section of the site for people to form teams and sign up for them BEFORE the Lan party. That way people can show up expecting to be on a team for those types of tourneys and maybe people would be more fired up for them. Just a thought:bounce:
Another suggestion would be to have the team tourneys earlier. For most, 24 hours or more of gaming is a bit much. Hold the team tourneys the first day, and leave the one on one, two on two, and FFA tourneys for the die hards near the end. Again this is just my humble opinion:D
I had a great time. I think the next one I am going to crash at my buddy Ben's house since he lives in Omaha. I couldn't keep going for the whole thing. (I'm a wuss) Sorry I couldn't pull it out for the Iron man competition.
No, I've been trying to talk him into it, but he is a wuss. He has never been to a LAN Party before. He's saying stuff like, "There is no beer allowed? What kinda party is that?"
He would like it if he came, it's just trying to talk Ben into things that is the hard part...
Funny story. Last night I was playing Ons on the demo. Apolon, Krack and I were all playing on the same server. I was on the red team and Apolon and Krack were on the blue team. (We usually just stay on whatever team we got put on to keep the game balance).
The red team was getting crushed. Our core was critical, but we kept on fighting hard. Krack was telling me how good of a defence we out up. He was talking like the game was over. The time was running out, but I wasn't paying attention to the time, I was just fighting fighting fighting. The red team got it together and started comming back, but the time ran out and it seemed the blue team had won. (I think the blue team kinda slacked off since they thought they had the game in the bag).
It turned out, that server must have had core drain set to 0, because even though time ran out, the cores did NOT drain, the red team ended up overtaking the blue team and winning the round
So, even when things look bad, don't quit or give up. On the other hand, when it looks like you can't lose, don't let your guard down
I knew about the ports from setting up my own server, but I did not know you still had to do that if you didn't have a router, I didn't even know you could to be honest. I forwared Morpheus's message to him, but I don't think he has tried it. The XP firewall is not enabled by the way Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll let you know if he gives it a shot. (I think he finnaly gave up on the idea anyway)
I'll be there with no back up as usual. Apolon wants to go, but he is on call that weekend so he can't make it. Krack, just got himself a new computer with a plexiglas side and neon lights, but does he show to up LAN parties with it? No, it just sits under his desk where nobody can see it.
Rameg74 gets on his knees and begs, “Please let me play on an Unreal team… please!”
I'll forward this on to him, thanks for the reply. I think it's just one of those things where he just wants to make it work just so he can say he made it work
