« on: July 19, 2024, 04:25:32 PM »

It's that time again!

Coinciding with Quakecon 2024, the TS500 is returning August 10th for a classic Q2 FFA celebration!

Map is TBD, but wanted to get the word out early. Tell everyone that's been living under a rock!

Thanks for coming out, everyone!

The usual stats output will be worked on, but in the meantime we have MVDs for all three games!

Okay, the TS500 Triple Header is on the way! Working out the maplist as we're starting to get command over the servers, but three events will make sure that as many people as possible can join in.

Round 1: 13 ET
Round 2: 16 ET
Round 3: 19 ET

It's gonna be a long day of FFA!

Had a really good thought come in from deadbeat -

three events over the course of the day. We generally get a few people who can't make the hour that the thing starts, or are otherwise unaware of it happening until then. Telling people that the next one is just a couple hours away could be nice.

I didn't want to let this sit too long, considering that a TS500 was already tentatively being planned for around this time. This one has always been one of the best expressions of this community, and a good chance to say hi to people who don't check in too often. This is just one of the many ways I want to celebrate the memory of quadz.

That said, I'm wondering if we can currently accomplish this event with the current level of access we have to the servers. At a minimum, we need to be able to:

a) set a map on the ts500 server
b) restart the map at the beginning of the event

If this ends up being rough on the actual ts servers, then maybe claire's new efforts could come in handy.

Tentatively, I was thinking the 31st of August. Does that sound like enough prep time for everyone?










Round 1: 13 ET - campcity
Round 2: 16 ET - predm1
Round 3: 19 ET - spogsp1

Quadz is likely the one person who has spurred and enabled me in the direction of my life more than anyone, and I don't think I'm alone in that regard. Endless generosity backed up by equally endless humbleness. I hope he knew everything he did for others. I cannot express how much I'm missing him already.

Community Events / PRE-CUP TS500!

« on: August 04, 2020, 12:30:29 PM »

Wow, these are really speeding up, aren't they?

What's speeding towards us is Quakecon 2020, which is remaining indoors this year with a massive amount of community events flying the banner of QCON@HOME. Our part will be 3 TastyCups across Doom 2, Quakeworld, and Quake II. Details and signups for all these cups can be found here:

https://challonge.com/users/jehar/tournaments

Special thanks to Sooint for his pre-tourney donation, bringing the current Q2 prize pool to 200 USD.

On top of that, we'll be running a TS500 before the cup on Sunday in order to get everyone's hyperblasters greased up. No signups here, just get on the ts500 server at the appointed time, and play until your eyes, fingers, or spleens bleed!

The map this time around: city64!

Community Events / TS500 2019!

« on: December 09, 2019, 04:51:13 PM »

It's back, and I hope you are too!

For those who are unfamiliar, the TS500 is a 500-fraglimit FFA held on a map large enough to contain a player count large enough to justify this madness. No signups, brackets, or any nonsense - just get in and get playing!

DATE: Dec 15 @ 7pm ET
SERVER: tastyspleen.net:27999  (GOTO TS500)
MAP: predm1

See you there, and make sure to use the shitter beforehand.

Community Events / Mutant Message Monday! 3/26

« on: March 25, 2018, 07:21:43 AM »

Eyooo - it's been a while since we've seen a lot of bodies on the perennial mutant server, so a few of us BTF dudes are going to pile in there and hope the sweet smell of gibs attracts others.

As far as joining, there's nothing to it, it's the default port on tastyspleen.net. We're thinking of starting around 8est and going until we've seen every map on the server (except match1).

So yeah, be there or be a convex ngon.
