Tasty 500: FFA Tourney

and so it shall digency!

As others noted, having over 12 players (or 24 on that map) is going to be a blaster-fest.  If we get more than that number of players, perhaps a seeding match or random placement across two servers.

neat idea: 2 servers, each has a frag limit of 250, 12  players in each, top 6 from each go into the final round, battle it out to 250 there.

that could be a possibility...depends on what everyone thinks.  I could make all the decisions myself..BUT I do not want a tourney with settings everyone will not like.  BUT..if we were to implement your idea, That could be the break everyone needs right there, and finish the rest on another day. Though it wouldnt wear u down all at once as much...but still a good idea.

[[BTF]adam]

well perhaps a 5 or 10 min break at 125 frags or something
where u just pause the match in osp..?

-Chaingun and Rocket Ammo will be made sparse if possible, if not, we will atleast remove the chaingun.

Did Toxic put you up to this??? 

-You cannot use just one weapon, you must atleast switch to different weapon every 20 frags or so.  Alternating is unacceptable, you must atleast use 2 different weapons before you return to the first

What the... ???????  Just an opinion, i.e. as a player not as an admin, but this seems maybe over-engineered a bit.    "Let quake2 be quake2" I always say.  (OK it's the first time I've said that, but as of now, it's what I always say. )

-If possible, armor will be made to stay, so everyone has atleast the chance to get some. (maybe not)

Interesting idea... At present we don't have the ability to make armor stay like weapons.  Just armor on/off.

-Server will be setup on a anonymous port, of which only the competitors will be told.  This is to keep unwanted people out.

Something like that would be fine.  Probably a password-protected server.

The only camping not allowed is hiding and waiting for people to pass by, and of course, spawn camping.  It may be hard to keep track of, but for every spawn rape you do, even if on accident, will deduct 2pts from your total score.  Room camping will be acceptable, but if the person is hanging around there for more than a minute or two, you will also have 10pts decucted from your score.

Again, just an opinion as a player, not as an admin... But this seems freaky-weird to me.     Just play q2. 

The servers have spawn-protect shields already... we could adjust the timing on that if needed?


Anyway just thinking aloud . . .

i concur

[plastik]

nah no breaks if its only 250 each...stamina man!

plus if we do it that way, we could break a 1000pts tourney into 4 different sessions.

yeah my feelings exactly, everyone should be playing the same players.

[[BTF]adam]

ach 4 different sessions? that sux well if u do 2, then the top 6 battle it out in one final match, makes it better imo.. 250 frag limit each, weapons stay on, and breaks like haunted said, to go piss, or get a drink or something..

[[BTF]Gator]

i'm for one session, weapons stay on to deal with the high population.  Ammo will be hard to come by with a large amount of players.

The basics of q2 ffa have been proven over the years, so no reason to try to enforce anything different then what goes on day in day out on all the servers.  We have all been playing each other for years, we know what to expect.  The only place i know of where you can spawncamp and win a map is the upper rl on dm7.

[[BTF]Defiant!]

Too many players will mean that it is a blaster-fest.  Have you played FFA with >16 players?  It isn't fun.

thats why i said we need a HUGE map, like pygmy has.

[[BTF]Gator]

goto dm1mods and mymap q2dm18.  It will do the trick.

[[BTF]Defiant!]

thats why i said we need a HUGE map, like pygmy has.

Yes I agree.  In my opinion, q2dm1 and q2dm8 each fit about a dozen players well.  If we play on q2dm18 and have, say, 40 players, it will be overloaded.
