Count me in. I need something to motivate me into playing QW now that we can't get any EQL games played Be

1 - Player selection will most likely be a form of draft with captains.

Last time I imagined a poll, where the two best would be elected to be captains - but it seemed quite natural that the two best active at the time were Milton and Carapace, as such I ditched the poll idea as the result seemed obvious.
We instead we had a meeting where the general opinion from that meeting was that the best to lead each team were Milton and Carapace - people were als OK with a draft lead by the two of them.
Erlend also ran a poll at the same time which also confirmed that the selections had backing. https://polldaddy.com/poll/9039093/?view=results

We _could_ divert from this process. As the argument is that Cara and Milton don't have complete overview over everyone's skill level. They will also be selecting players based on who they are comfortable with.
Which leads to the players being picked aren't necessarily the best players - or the captains picking will be influenced by expected ping level of the players or favoritism.

(Example: I would REALLY like Blooddog and Bogojoker to play in the tournament - but bogo has been hesitant - and without two American hpw's its hard for any expected captains to pick out Blooddog for an expected dm2 game.
As such calling it an AllStar is in question - and rather calling it EU AllStar would be more appropriate. ))

There are many ways we could pick out the players. A public poll, an internal poll from the players wanting to play. A mixture of poll and drafting. I'm unsure about what would be the most fair way.
It can be very complicated - but the results of who will be playing could end up being the same players anyways. I'm open to suggestions on how player picking will work!!

My own suggestion is that Carapace, Milton, Rikoll and Xantom all get together at some point. Split up into two teams that are fair - and they together confer with each other in a draft situation.
it does not solve that picking will be wonky.... and that we could have favoritism - but they will have double the player knowledge to draw from.

(I picked out Carapace, Milton, Rikoll and Xantom as they are in my view the best 4on4 players right now - this could of course be wrong!!! Scream out if you guys disagree!! They are also easy to reach and have shown to show up for things on time or leave msgs when they are unavailable.)


2. I don't know how to fix the laggyness - I get it as well. But yes, I'm not going to work for blocking qtv
I do appreciate people having twitch open at the time though..

I need everyone to fill in schedule poll for allstars pronto! so i can give dates to twitch admins, ty!

[18:38] <ocoini> just ignore the Try really hard to find a date in april please ! removed it from old spam now =)
[18:38] <ocoini> Gonna try to get it going in may

I need people to fill inn the poll ASAP though.....!

interested I guess D:

Those arguments feel alot to me like individual grief as they do not account for the goal of the match; to be enjoyable to watch. Milton and me have been drafting alot vs eachother and it always seem to make for even games. When playing mixes it also seem like me and Milton have a very good idea about what teams will be most even. We will have personal bias, as much or as little as anyone else, I completely concede that. But does that take away from the quality of the game or enhance it?

Calling it an allstar game makes sense regardless from a PR standpoint.

I dont mind whatever way the teams are selected, but bear in mind the potential workload and success rate of each option.

Hi - Sorry about the lack of updates -

There will be a meeting about the allstars Sunday 8'th mai - @ 20:00 CEST - I hope you all can make it!

#qwallstars

We need to decide on how team selection and the maps will be handled.
Also the date for practices round for the casters/audio check on TS3/Skype has to be done.

We could meet on skype/mumble - but it's a bit easier to type: As then noting gets forgotten if/when multiple people talk at same time. Hopefully this will all just take 30 minutes - and then the (potential) captains and me can set a date to arrange the teams.

We currently also only have ONE caster as far as I am aware of - if you are interested in joining Andeh, or if Andeh has allready gotten someone give me a notice about it please thanks!

I have not forwarded the required information to twitch yet - but we do have a date, but since I haven't been able to collect all the required information they requested lets just hope it all works out... I'm lacking a small picture(the one you see on the bottom of the casts on twitch.tv frontpage) which I hope will be made during this week.......

Please do show up for the meeting, help me tell the people on the confirmed interest list about it as well. - And just give some kind of beep/leave msg so we know you are present in the channel or have recieved the msg about the meeting/matchtime.

If you have any questions just scream out...

Dear ocoini,
I've sent you a msg here on qw.nu (since I don't have your email) with some Allstars gfx for the Twitch cast. Cheers!

WHOOOOOA!! BPS to the rescue!!!!!! It's EPIC! QuakeWorld thanks you, again ;D

Neat! I might be around for co-commentating

This should be awesome!! Only problem with the practice day on May 20th is it's the middle of my workday...and my birthday

I'm sleeping or busy, never available to play; You guessed it right, I'm from NA

I think I'm a talented poet, but there's no way... I must be from Norway?!

Sowwy DP_BLOODDOG... :\

mmmmmm - If people want to play sooner or start pracing abit right away do camp #qwallstars





[21:25] <ocoini> sd-andeh- we have foppa qtv password now - d0pe is testing the qtv delay fix tonight there (hope there is a 4on4 going on) - then in all liklely hood we play the allstars in .dk on foppa
[21:25] <ocoini> where you will get personal qtv
[21:25] <ocoini> for you co-caster and feffe
[21:26] <ocoini> and whoever else you need
[21:26] <ocoini> Then you might also be able to enable qtv chat? So that feffe /others can give you some text msgs if you need that.
[21:27] <ocoini> so hope d0pe managed to connect tonight then =)
[21:27] <ocoini> manages*

Why foppa when 12/13 are from no/se/fi?

Obviously the 1/13 that isn't from no/se/fi is more important than the others combined.

Right now forsberg and Anza are the two I have QTV passwords from. foppa and quakeworld.fi servers.
I need someone from swedish server to give me one, as well as:

We also seem to have to change another setting as well - nquakesv/ktx/mvdsv.cfg - qtv_maxstreams 0

ocoini - #quakeworld : if you have a QW server in Sweden - Denmark - Finland :: PM me please - would like you to change some setings - TY!
[22:05] <[ServeMe]11> -spam- ocoini - #quakeworld : takes 2-3 mins !
[22:06] <@ocoini> .qw nquakesv/ktx/mvdsv.cfg - qtv_maxstreams 0 & lend me your pwd.cfg - qtv_password "" ty<3 !

**I've noticed there was one Swedish server where swedish people have been unable to connect to a while back - but I don't remember which one this is -.
Does anyone here remember?

Ofcourse we can play in sweden if thats what everyone wants !

But if most of you ping 25 and under to .dk...

what is the best stable swedish server ? does anyone have contact info to server admin? (yes i will look for it myself if you dont have it)

I'm trying to have a few options for servers ready where everything is set -

What's with the QTV settings? Only allowed to spec through the stream?

No - what he's trying to do is to make a separate QTV entry for the stream to use so that we can listen to mm3 without delay. Last time, we'd hear people talk about something and then see it 10 seconds later on QTV which made listening to mm3 make no sense. This way we might cut the delay down to a minimum which helps make mm3-listening more sense.

nevermind

The Allstars is TODAY - In a few hours https://www.twitch.tv/suddendeathtv

We had a successful Allstars - Thanks everyone!

Here are the players MM3 - Torrent.
- Try the top one first- scream if the compression bugged the files or something
compressed : http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=15888956492665834144
Raw uncompressed: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=93226575845346518608

There is one match missing for one of the teams, i believe it's the cmt4 for Milton and Rikolls team - there is no way to retrieve this.

These are unedited files for the players - The project was to add this into a demo with players mm3 into one package ?
I don't know how to do this - I could probably edit the audio files and strip them down to only include match talk - but I don't know/and dont want to know - how to make this all sync up with demos.

A casters audio will come sometime..
But for now.. ye.. here they are. help seed

I just wanna say a BIG thank you to Ocoini for making it happen, and to Andeh+Jehar for the slick and professional commentary! felt like I could have played much better but it all went well in the end I guess ! its hard to lose with Milton and Rikoll in your team but team Cara gave us a hell of a fight, will always remember these allstars game in the future with fond memories! shoutout to Javve for coming back after years of inactivity and putting in a solid performance overall vs Caras monsterteam !


Allstars #3 hopefully this winter ?


PEACE!

<3

also, if anyone has the MVD demos from the game would be awesome !
