Hi and welcome to Ignition, our motto is "have fun"

thank you

Dont forget to "have fun" not have fun. =)

So the rules state that you should have played a maximum of no more than 6 months.

What if you have been inactive for the past 1.5-2 years and want to return - can you then participate ?

yeah yan, if u think your a rookie, come to #qwrookie and play some games vs the current rookies that are in the tourney and see how good you are

people who are obviously no rookies will be kicked from the tournament.

Hi, just 2 quick questions since i couldn't find mentions about it in the rules:
1. can I use the ezquake 1.8 client? or fuhquake only?
2. fakeshaft allowed or not?
thx in advance, i'm already looking forward to the tourney \o/

will be almost the same rules as in ownage: http://ownage.qwscene.net/?sid=2&mod=rules&act=view&opt=

BUT we will let people with ezQuake 1.8 play, and fakeshaft is allowed!

Signups end SUNDAY and tourney starts MONDAY

I signed up cause I've been in the army for 11 months. I haven't played anything during that time, so I reckon I'm back to a div-9-something level. Should be bad enough to enter...

What's this fakeshaft I hear about? Truelightning?

so i guess i could signup too then?

nope, ui is not allowed to participate

I've signed up, but as i mentioned i've got to move house in the next couple of weeks so i'll do my best not to miss any games due to lack of an internet connection ... but i'm looking forward to getting absolutely destroyed ...

Sassa Can I play ?

sure pleura

hello guys.
i've played q1 first time in the 90's, i think it was 97 or something like that (single player).
i was a lil child in this time and 2004 i returned to the q1 community and that was the first time i saw, how big the community was, as i was a child and how big it still was for a game, which "died" so many years before.

i never played quake1 active, but everytime I've joined a server, I wasn't that good.
My movement is bad and everything i do is flying around because of rockets pushing my back^^.

I hope here are really some rookies like me...

greetz,
Voodoo-Master or light

but you beat me so bad on end!
yes, truelightning is allowed these days :/

looks like there's someone on my level !!! )

From the rules:

Fallbunny: on
Er? I.e. Ignition should be played with fallbunnies? Is it so easy to turn on fallbunny (that is off by default)?

Also in the rules I don't see a line about choosing a server to play. Should I force everybody to play on my high ping? :-)

And about map deciding: map pool has 10 maps in total but in "04. Deciding map" there is a mention of 5 maps...

(Also posted there: http://ignition.qwscene.net/?sid=1&mod=news&act=view_comments&opt=2 )

the Ignition website is horrible :/

can you update it? i'm not saying it should be something complicated..
make it simple and stick a Quake logo and a Quake screenshot at the top.. have some taste with the text formatting too (without dotted lines and tildas ~)!

if i'd be a rookie and i would see such a generic site with a white background i wouldn't bother signup in the first place.. looks more than amateurish

since I lack totally in the design department, I think almost everything looks splendid.

ye, i guess it's better than nothing

The real power and class comes from irc :}

My End skills are buried deep within my spinal cord and thus will never diminish. Regarding any other maps... well, you saw for yourself on awalk. Fakeshaft sux ballz for coke.

Thanks. Will have fun..

Gotta enable fakeshaft and train it now it seems.

i like the idea with the rookie tourney, i'd love to play, but think im too noob and feared. is there smth below? maybe a "owned by frogbot" tourney ;p

ps. even if im a noob i dont like fakeshaft on, i mean in other/higher tourneys its not allowed, the rookie tourney is a good thing to learn the game and when both player have to play with fakeshaft off, they get used to it.

It was allowed in the last big Ownage tournament afaik and people didn't get too upset, so chances are that the upcoming tournaments will allow it aswell.

it will be allowed in all tourneys

Any chance for a new ignition?
I'm very happy because of Phil's tourneys 'casue i could learn a lot from these, but of course not have any chance to take a good result
As i see #qwrookie there are lot of rookie players whos maybe would play in a rookie tourney. (ok, I know that the rookie div in eql7 was shit but i think the reason of this was the football and that in rookie level the teamplay is secondary thing as at first we have to earn a little individual skill)
at least just check with a poll that how many rookies would sign up for an event like this. maybe this would be also good for freshing up qw.

Dedicated admin is needed!!
I wont do this again, its not tough, its very simple actually!
The site is there and its very easy to use

1, get 4 dedicated admins
2, get access to the site and get a schedule (short schedule)
3, post about it on the major e-sport sites around the world
4, get the signups

now that was the easy part, lets see the tough part

5, get the players to actually play their games
6, stick with the schedule and dont do any exceptions
7, be online and active + push players to play their games
8, still be active and write matchreports for each game (watch demos) + do interviews with players
9, get commentators for the semifinals + get the games upfront on qw.nu webpage
10, have a great finals with alot of spectators

THERE YOU HAVE A GOOD TOURNEY!
are you up for it?

I'm in!
