MorB 5 Competions

OK I thought I'd give People the options on what (if Any) comps you would like to see at MorB 5.

The Option i have given are the games WHICH I CAN SET UP MULTIPLE RELIABLE SERVERS.

Before anyone complains the reason for so many HL based games is that they are easy on servers and system specs.

All competions (espeialy Clan) will be double elinimation (ie ur clan loses 2 times then ur out) that way by the 3rd of 4th round most ppl will NOT be playing in the comp.

The Random selection game is where we get everyone who wants to play sought them into 2 groups (those that know the game an those that r newbs) and select teams by random draw (ie spread the good players out amongst the not so good so that the teams are about even). Then play double elimination.

feel free to post any other ideas for comps. Just remeber we are really limited to games that are easy to install (such as AA:O) and arn't to hard on system specs so that most people can play (like HL).

Also if any clans would like to organise a match, we can provide servers for that in a number of games. IF U WISH TO SETUP A CLAN MATCH CONTECT ME B4 MORB 5 STARTS so that i can organises a server an time.

Personally, I'd like to see BF/DC or a Rise of Nations RTS comp. But I can see that's probably not going to happen. So I'm gonna go for the 'scrap comps' idea.

Yeah I'm not in favour of a big huge comp. Morb 4 was good cause it had very little in the way of a comp (q3 and wc3 i think).

I like the idea of a random team comp. It's gives each team a more even chance of winning.

mabey even a random team / random game comp. U pick 6 names for the team then just b4 each match u draw out the game that they will play. So u might play 1 round of DoD and the next would be something like MoHAA or UT 2003 bombing run.

Plus running the comps in a double elinimation format means after the second round players will start to be knocked out and will start playing other games. Means that for most people the comps will only take up 2-3 hours max. Only those that are winning will go on.

I've managed to get a look at RON. If there is intrest plz vote for the RTS option and add a comment to the thread.

BF1942/DC is still flaky to run for many ppl and prone to crashing (probley something to do with there gold edtion copies) to think about running a comp.

I didn't realise there were issues with BF. My bad.

Don't get me wrong, the whole random team idea is probably the best I've seen yet. Just on a personal level, well... everyone knows my love of the HL engine..

Been playing a bit of RoN lately... I find it's not as long and drawn out as Empire Earth or AoE, and still has the realistic elements unlike AoM. A nice little RTS by all standards. Changing my vote on the poll to RTS. :)

Personally i hope to see the end of HL engine in september (HL2 W00T)

I few people have ask if there is a chance of some Medieval Total War. This game would go well for a comp as the game can only last up to about 30 mins (theres a timer but most games r over way b4 that) basically u have 30 mins as the attacker to defeat a defending army. The game has a real good RTS feel about it (like heaps of nasty tactics can be employed) without the whole Build it an rush it in. Almost seems more like RTS chess and has no resorce managment or base biulding.

I want/MUST play generals at MorB 5 or else ill be very dissapointed. I would realy like to try my skills against people on a non laggy network (i hate dialup).

Im sure ill play someone, but if a comp can be organised for generals i'd be up for that.

As for that random comp, i like the idea of the newb side of things... cause ill fit straight in!!!

random teams and random games!

I'm very very tempted to set up a DoD Random teams match. We have about 10 really good players an lots of ppl who know how to play. I split the ten up into 5 teams of 6 ppl. 2 good players per team.

That means about 30 ppl in the lan could compete. Which more importantly means 40 ppl NOT involved in the comp (ie they can play OTHER GAMES).

Also a RTS comp. What game I'm yet to decided (front runners are WC3 an C&C:G)

Sounds like a pretty sound idea with the DOD comp. Personally I'd like to play CC:G rather thatn WC3 as WC you build up and army & die in 5 seconds :( from my experience anyway :P

We will need to setup an area or else use these forums as a way of getting individuals who want to plasy some rts's / diablo or NWN (which is so better than Diablo), basically peering games against others in same boat, whether this be a whiteboard, a mic to annouce open challenges, or just these forums, i dunno, coz we certainly aint gunna run comps for every pair of ppl that want one.

if you would like to organise some sort of challenge, just ask us

I personally would like to run a NWN server. Not as a comp but just for other people who arn't as thrilled with FPS. NWN will support up to 64 players from memery

We will need to setup an area or else use these forums as a way of getting individuals who want to plasy some rts's / diablo or NWN...etc
The forums would be good. I assume you'll be taking the server along as usual for an intranet?

yes i think i will again, the site will only have a temporary host at work, good chance to A) test how the moved server works and B) clean up current server install, i think i will be moving hosting of the site to work on the friday afternoon, i will close registrations and the forums then.

Im all for the random game and team stuff - good idea BL

although I generally h8 the game - I would like to c a group of ppl create hardcore characters in Diablo 2 LOD and c how far they can get and once they get above lvl 9 it would be like every 1 for them selves - last 1 standing wins

I did that at a Kinko LAN years ago. We'd played for hours and then Haze died.. he wasn't happy. :)

I haven't played LOD in ages, but I'm actually keen on trying it again... Last patch I saw was 1.05 I think, which was a while ago. Must reinstall.

Hardcore games are always fun...

NWN server sounds like an interesting idea as well. Both ideas give me something to do while everyone else plays their smacktardy little games.. :)

Current Idea stands at :

1 RANDOM TEAM DOD Comp ( 5 teams 6 players)
RTCW:ET (4 teams 8 players)
1 RTS COMP (game still undecided).
And 1 NwN tournament which will run for the whole LAN.

I'm Also thinking of running a AA:O comp with random teams of 6 players if the interest is there.

Current Idea stands at :
And 1 NwN tournament which will run for the whole LAN.



NWN tournament? Tournament? How the...?

Looks good though.

random team game is sweet bl but wheres mohaa \mohsp comp fer people like me who blow totally at games like cs and dod?????????
actaully i'll play some multiplayer wolfenstien if i can find my copy of it to install it :confused:

Random DoD = exelent idea, then everyone gets to play with the l33t :)

Random Team / Game would work in most cases other then the old issue of "my computer cant run that game"

If ya wanna play MOH:AA go to lotd.

The NwN comp will run the whole LAN. Basically the guy with the highest Character at the End of the Lan wins. I'm still working out the details on that one.

I personally would like to put in AA:O because it's like CS but without the inherent HL engine probs.

RTCW:ET is there cause it's new an free.

NwN is there cause there are other games out there than just FPS

OK NwN News

I will be running a custom module that will be revealed AT MORB so hopefully everyone will be in the dark about what the world will be like.

The server will have a servervault running so when u connect u will create a new Character (using ur NICKNAME so we know whos, who) at the end of the LAN i will see who gained the most levels and / or completed the story (There will be between 20 - 30 HOURS in it).

20 - 30 hours!!! That's like the whole LAN!!!

err.... yeah that's why he said "nWn comp that runs for the whole LAN"

tehe... claw forgot how to read :)

Hmmm, is there an actual prize? I reckon I could take that crown... :)

I don't exspect ppl to finish the module. The idea is just to play though it till u've had enough

IF someone FINSIHES the module, there will be a group of us aassigned to take that person into the toilets to wash their hair..

erm... i dont understand why u would wash thier hiar... but that's just me... any ways....


is there anything that u've decided yet in the way on comps?
wouldn't mind a Q3 comp. i know alot of ppls are intersted in having one.

OK This Is The Latest On Comps

1 Random Team DoD
1 Random Team RTCW-ET
1 Quake 3 Deathmatch
1 Random Team AA:O
1 NwN Tounament (Exsperimental I just wanna see if it's possible).

All Team games will be Double Elimination (lose twice ur out). Rounds will be 20min (NOT 30).

TimeTable
DoD starts 2pm Saturday
RTCW-ET 4pm Saturday
AA:O 6pm Saturday
Quake 3 10am Sunday.
NwN runs all weekend but i will have the server up at about 12pm saturday.

There will be a limit on how many players can go in each comp.

Game :- Teams X Players = total

DoD :- 6 x 6 = 36
RTCW-ET :- 4 x 8 = 32
AA:O :- 6 x 4 = 24
Quake 3 = 30
NwN = No limit just however many can get on server at any time. Server will be set for about 24 players

Quake 3 : 2 servers with 2 maps (20min per map) 5 highest fraggers from each goes through to finals which will consist of 2 maps (20 mins each) Highest frags wins.

Prizes won't be much. MorB has just made a LARGE purchase of equipment that I'm sure u will all see the benifits of in this LAN an future lans.

If people want prizes then i would have to put a 2 or 5 dollar cost to entering the comps. The reason I've done comps this MorB is to get people to play different games in a more team orientated fashion an to get people to play some different games (Hence my inclusion of RTCW-ET, NwN and AA:O)

AA:O and RTCW-ET will be avaible to download, as will the Day Of Defeat Mod for Half-Life.

Random Team MAY NOT MEAN TOTALLY RANDOM. Players that I know are good at certain games may be distubuted evenly among the teams.

Also I would be interested to hear for anyone interested in helping me test the NwN modules I'm thinking of using for MorB.

i'll help test.... once I find my NwN CDs

erm... i dont understand why u would wash thier hiar... but that's just me... any ways....

I was wondering that too but didn't want to be the first to ask, lol

I've run Q3 servers at the last couple of LANOTD events, but no one joined them.

*sigh* wet hair and toilet, i mean it took BL like 5 mins to get it...surely everyone else does..

i'll put it this way to *wash* the hair would require us to hold the person upsidedown, headfirst into a certain bowl type waterholding device

btw - there will be some prizes for some of the comps, depending on A- the number of entrants and B-if entrants want to pay extra for a comp

prizes will mainly include some merchandise from a variety of sources - and a cash prize if people wanna pay for comp entry

we will of course have a mohaasp server up at the lan, no comp for it however, unless some1 else wants to run one, my lack of time and BL's hatred for mohaa sorta means it aint on the cards atm.

I don't "Hate" MoHAA i just think think that solitair has better gameplay

I say the same thing about HL based games. :)

you guys are just gettin funnier by the moment...

all this BS about tryin to cater for allsorts etc....and yaz cant even think to mention any car/bike racing events ???

and you are... who googs?

He's a friend of a friend. ;)

I really hope that bf:r2r,ds etc.. gets up, I'm also keen for a bit of RPG whichever it eventually ends up being. Its just a shame I'll miss out on the Sat. night, bah big party with free booze. I got a query ... on in the early hours on Sunday a few PPL usually pack up and go home, I probs couldn't make it till then so maybe I could take somebody's place then? u reckon admin?

anyway, I'll drop by on the Saturday to see what's goin' down & have a chat to organisers.

Peace

If there are seats available and the players aren't returning then you are quite welcome to join the fun - you still have to pay however - and keep the 1337 speak away - if people want to read that crap they'll go play CS with the other newbies or visit something like happyhacker.org (yes, that silly bitch.)

k well i deffinatly in for the wolfstein match :twisted:
if its w3 for the rts i'm in again :lol:


well thanx just adding my 2 cents again!



"The nightclub suddenly explodes, well we can always hope!"

1 day til helmet yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you buying the helmut from? I saw a couple at george taylors! I tried them on but they aren't the most comfortable headgear. I think you'll need some padding!.

Peachy don't need padding, he's got a head like rock. The helmet is to stop the metal plate in his head picking up signals from all the computers. That's how he knows where you are in the map :)

Wolfenstien sounds good. Mmmmmmm Panzerfaust!

im in on a wolf match! damn that games good

yer play it online, a duet of medic+fieldops can make for some pure ownage!

if theres a wc3 comp/q3 comp/DC/DOD ill be happy

might be a good idea to get some competetion for the wc3 comp this time :)

Also we have to play a 20 vs 6 dod game again :D

wc3 is gay, you build up an army then it gets killed in 10 seconds while using all your resources :/

OK there will be a DoD, Quake 3m and a RTCW-ET tounament.

DoD START 3pm SAT END 7pm
RTCW-ET 9pm ends 11pm
Quake3 Starts SUN 9:30 (ish)

A Full COMPLETE LIST OF TOUNAMENTS WILL BE POSTED ON THE FRONT DESK AT MORB. This will be the "offical" list.

We are still looking at the RTS Comp and the NwN comp

Thanks for the reply, it's appreciated. I didn't realise ppL would be offended by extended characters. If I knew foolks were so sensitive I'd be more standard. I look forward to this LAN it's looking good.

seaf offened. it's just REALLY GAY and HARD TO READ. :)

BL, can i suggest a final list of the comps / dedicated servers to be posted in Locked post or on the front page. :)

cheers

wc3 is gay, you build up an army then it gets killed in 10 seconds while using all your resources :/


yeah if you suck

Yes I do suck at wc3.

your better than me at it lol

Yes, as am I, WC3 is a good game and all, but I suck my own balls at it, shame to use such vulgar language but it is how seriously crap I am....
