Jailbreak Cup Tonight!

[[BTF]RottenRose]

Stay tuned after KotH tonight because we have more action coming at 12 am est! That action being in the jailbreak server IP: 74.54.186.226:27921. Go to jail and break out! Come watch or join in on the fun tonight, it’s going to be awesome!

What is Jailbreak you ask?
Jailbreak is a team deathmatch mod in the tradition of CTF. There are
two teams, Red and Blue. Each team has a base, and in his base is a Jail. When
you kill an enemy, he goes to your Jail. Likewise, when you are killed you
will go to their Jail. Once you have team mates in Jail, you can free them
by penetrating the enemy's base and hitting the switch to open the Jail
doors. Other things of note: When your entire team is in Jail, you are all
automatically EXECUTED and each member of the other team's score increases
by the number of players on your team. You will then be spawned out of Jail.
Getting Executed is bad, so try not to let it happen by freeing your teammates.
Fraglimit is measured against your TEAM score, not indidual score. Note that
you also recieve points (frags) for freeing people from jail.

There will be a meeting in irc.enterthegame.com #q2jailbreak channel at 11 pm est for those that want to play.

I was unaware of said event!

I'm told you've been shown the BKP forum? I tried to get a Q2JB resurgence going last year and actually had some marginal success. If you give the oldschool JB community a day or two notice, I'd bet heavily we can fill a server between us and the good Tastyspleen peoples.

I met my business partner and several of my best friends playing Q2JB over a decade ago. Nostalgia... I'm all for playing it again.

Well now you are! I would have contacted the Q2JB community if I had the time to find you guys I would have. I have seen the BKP forum once (Q3JB right?) and that was yesterday! So the story behind is it kinda just fell into our laps.

I so would have contacted the Q2JB community (if I had the time to find you guys I would have). I had GGL-foolioz contact me early yesterday asking who was casting/spamming the q2 stuff. He told me it was for a friend (AiMz). Then directed me to irc.enterthegame.com #q2jailbreak, where we talked with AiMz and got the info on what he wanted to do. He wants to make this a weekly thing and this was just the test run. A lot of people showed up with how little time we had to promote it. I would love to have more people come on and play after a date has been set for it to be played weekly.

If we are going to get a good Q2JB resurgence then I think there is no better way than to pool together and get it covered by tastyspleen's tastycast. It reminds people that used to play it how much fun it was and it help show people how much fun they are missing. The next time there is one or a whisper of one I'll pm you.

Might want to get in contact with AiMz, he's the leader in all of this.

I think I remember you posting about this and then jumping into a couple of those games. Great times.


Incidentally we'll be playing a game of Jailbreak tomorrow night at 9:00 Est

Woot! I'll try to make it, and I'll pass along the game plan to others.
