Some discussion on the powerup settings for each map should be started also:

• dm2 - Quad ON
• dm4 - Quad OFF (However some regions play with Quad ON)
• dm6 - Ring OFF (Does anyone play with Ring ON?)
• aerowalk - Quad ON or OFF (feedback required)
• ztndm3 - Quad ON

Aerowalk 2on2 needs quad on!!

Keep quad on for aerowalk, only chance BD has of winning <3333333333333333

OFFICIAL:
sane + Squeeze

Count on me. =)

We mother-fucking-brazilians are brutally lazy... we won't be sure until, like, 1 week before the tournament.... kkkkkkkkkk

ONNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!

We aren't doing registrations just yet (but soon) as right now we are just seeing how much interest we can get. So far it looks like enough as we have roughly 6 teams (2 from each region) which is the minimum I was willing to proceed.

I think more euros will come on board when they realise that most of their games will be other europeans and being round-robin they get to play every single other european team.

doesnt sane+squeeze team bring enough hype?

I'll let you know if it generates any hype *crickets*

Helsinki, Finland, Europe

UK: 51ms
Miami: 142ms
QuakePhil: 114ms

Hate anything over 12ms but I still can compete.

sane

I'm up for playing, just need a teammate, that doesnt suck too much

I feel you man, anything over 12ms is truly unplayable.

Fenris would you like to carry me?

I'll team with quack phil!

Who will you partner with?

I take it back. I just realized how unfun playing with 180ms is. Unsign me up

I'm willing to play. Only need a team mate

I'm willing to play. Only need a team mate

max ull be playing with is 140, and thats against .br the usually 115ms will be vs euros and normal vs usa

What are the rules concerning the clients rulesets in this tournament?

Something like this would be accepted?

f_modified: All Models Ok
f_ruleset check: default+si-mf

I really don't know why that +si cause I don't use any of those things described...

I think it's more than time now for tournament admins to rethink rules, like being more allowing than before to make the game a little bit more approachable. Does it really hurt to for instance allow some timers to make it easier for everyone to time some items? Right now all of these things are "privileged advantages" of experienced players, because new players keep all their focus on moving/shooting. Learning to time items is cruical, why not lower the limits in atleast some tournaments, because lets face it, playerbase is constantly dropping..

The +i is from the command cl_idrive 1 being in your config. Using this command is definitely considered cheating. It allows you to walk faster than previously possible.

Definitely it is time to revisit the ruleset as the smackdown one is quite outdated. I am sure the debate of what shall be changed would cause quite some debate. We'd then need a new ruleset coded in to the client and have everyone upgrade to make use of the new ruleset.

I didn't like it, but i put the smackdown ruleset in my CFG and I got used to it eventually. If people just use it from the beginning there is no problem IMO. I think it isn't enabled in nQuake by default.... maybe we should get that changed

which new limitations do you think are necessary?

What about that .DLL thing (security module), what was it for?

Hmm I'll check it out here in my configs. this sounds serious, I really didn't know. Thank you dirtbox

Tournaments like this are only interesting if the great Canadian STEEK provides commentary for all the matches.

Someone should track him down and tell him that he'll get paid.
Don't let him know that we don't have any money though.
That's something to discuss later.

Would be fun, but need a teammate

Surely if you disable cl_idrive or whatever it's called people who really want it will just do it with + and - aliases

It's blocked.

It's not really cheating the way dirtbox presents it. If tournament admins allow it it's of course allowed. It helps with speedjumping/bunnyhopping/strafe jumping. Not really that important, people who can't move or don't know the tactics will still get seriously pwned.

Perhaps time to rethink and make it easier for newcomers?
