i like hub and fusion, both good maps, but for ts500, i'd say hub.

i LOVE the idea of a random spawning quad.

i'd love to see that in a server. vanilla2?

... regarding powerups;
For bigger FFA's like this it might be nice to have the quad spawn in random locations. I say this because I just found a way to make that possible, using some settings from Dm8 with its 'teamed' powerups that succeed each other. The idea is to spawn multiple quads (maybe up to 10) across the map. Of course only one quad will be available at any given time but they will be succeeding each other, just like a chain reaction.
So the initial quad-pickup will be in its original location, then 60 seconds after it's been taken the second quad will spawn in a different and (for the players) unknown location. After that the third quad again spawns somewhere else, et cetera.
Players who use a timer still know when the quad is back, however no one will know beforehand where it will spawn. This way it more or less becomes a matter of luck to stumble upon a quad. Just saying it's possible and might be something to consider.

I think we should decide if we want to play a map that includes quad or not.

Editing maps and altering gameplay is going a bit far IMO.

If we pick a map without quad, you'd better frag in double time :p

The "Launch Command" map spawns the quad in at least 3 different locations

Yes good find ReC, I checked and it seems that map uses exactly the same spawn system. The only difference is that when it's done serverside no one has the chance to learn the quad sequence which I think will minimize quadcontrol.

What a surprise

But it still is just an idea of course and besides this would only involve the powerups (if present) not the map itself. Although I understand how it would alter the gameplay of players who like to time it. Call me crazy but I think that it would be more interesting to see others also glow blue once in a while instead of the same one or two players who'd probably still win without it. I remember seeing good players leave in the middle of the last TS matches because of this.

I would like to play Sewer64 as a TS500. It's a fun map, but you would need many playes to make it fast paced. If there were a few players, 500 frags would take a long time. How would the map be chosen? By a vote or the powers that be?

[BTF] Reflex · « **Reply #51 on:** October 23, 2006, 07:47:56 PM »

maybe the powers that be vote? lol

i want to play this time, count me in and hopefully i can make it on the board, b4 i get bored.

Im all for the quad and everything else but the BFG, i hate that stupid thing, and plus quad might actually make the time go by faster if it respawns in different places.

To those of you who want the Quad to be enabled to make the game go by faster...Did you forget the original point of this tournament? It's an endurance test. Trying to make the game last under an hour was not the original intention of the tournament. Suck it up and play a 4 hour game if you have to.

kuku · « **Reply #54 on:** October 23, 2006, 09:45:26 PM »

i kinda did, since there hasnt been one in awhile, but my bad. well if its gonna last 4 hours, i hope my wife will understand,

dude i was informed by my cousin Elysium, about the whole spectrum surrounding the tournament, and i thought you said its an endurance test, and now your talking about breaks? im just giving you shit kobra, i mean no rudeness towards you, or to hide behind Ely. im just bored.

You knew what I meant, and I know what you mean.

Incidentally, the first TS500 was played without quad, albeit on a relatively small map (q2dm8).

TS500 #1 - q2dm8, 1 hour 29 minutes. http://tastyspleen.net/images/ts500-scores-flare.jpg
TS500 #2 - city64, 2 hours 21 minutes. http://tastyspleen.net/images/ts500-02-scores-flare.jpg

Regards,
