Feb LAN tourny info

[Ender]

Well, not a complete detailed end all know it all list, but some things for you peeps to know. :)

For the official 'tentative' schedule of the tournaments click here (http://www.bellinghamlan.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=335)!

***New Tournament***
UT2k4 Demo DM FFA and RC Car Challenge!
Good news! The 2k4 demo is out and you can download it off our site! You can Download it right here (http://www.bellinghamlan.com/ut2004beta/ut2004-betademo.exe) if you don't have it yet. This will be a Free For All Deathmatch in DM-Rankin, the only DM map to come with the Demo. This tournament is going to be coupled with our RC car race! :woot: Yes, we have picked up 3 totally leet RC cars and the top three people from this tournament will be racing it out on a fun and danger filled course for the prize! Which will likely be a sweet Altec Lansing headset from NWComputer Supplies! :woot: Bring it on!

DC Conquest - removed due to lack of prize and minimal signups...we will still play lots of this game to be sure, and we might be able to put together a pick up tourny with no prize for the winners, but an official BLE tournament in DC will not be happening this LAN. Sorry about that...not enough of lots of things. :)

Ravenshield - removed due to the same as the DC tourny. Again we may be able to throw in a pick up tourny, but an offical BLE tournament for RvS will have to be postponed until next LAN. Sorry to the fanboys out there, but never fear as much RvS will be played I am sure. :D

UT2k3 Shield Cannon only beat Ender and DiscoDave's combined score in DM-DiscoDance.
Yeah, it's exactly how its title says it is. Disco and I will get 10 frag head start each, at which point the carnage will ensue. The winner has to have more frags than the two of us combined. This will be ffa format. This tournament will start after dinner.

BF go karts and Air Cannon Challenge
If you came last time, you'll remember our Battlefield Go Karts race tourny. This will be the same, except we're going to lengthen the race time a bit. The top three players will then have to compete in the air cannon challenge. We will set up a pyramid of empty soda cans, you will stand X amount of feet away from them armed with DiscoDave's Air Cannon and then have one chance to knock as many down as you can. The person who knocks over the most is the winner. This tourny will be after the ut2k3 tourny.

BLE's Triathalon.
This tourny is limited to 16 players. You will begin by competing in Ravenshield ffa survival, pistols only. One map only, 7 rounds. Scores will be recorded. Then on to Quake3 FFA DM. One map only 10 minutes long, scores recorded and tallied. Then on to the xbox for Halo ffa DM. Same rules as q3. Scores tallied at the end. Player with the highest score wins.

Keep in mind, this is a lot of tournaments, and we likely won't do this many in the future. It is too many to organize effictively. If any tourny has to go due to lack of time it will likely be the shield cannon only 2k3 tourny, but I hope not cause that's likely to be one of the funnest. DC and RVS and a 2k3 server will be running at 10:00 am sharp for practice purposes, and then during tournies in case your not in them. After all tournies are over it will likely be late, but your welcome to stay as long as you can and game your eyes out in whatever!

[Itsmeee]

awesome about the rc cars and tourneys! w00t. one question though when u say pistols...There are a lot of pistols in RS, can we use ANY? *evil cogs in head turn*

[Ender]

Depends on how much I can manipulate the restrictions. I'd prefer to not have any submachine gun or automatic pistols if we can help it. :D

[Itsmeee]

lol ok. A few people in my clan have gotten pisxord @ me when they say pistols only and I come in with a fully auto pistol :p

[PyroInsane]

How about we do the most basic, weakest pistol available?

[Pineconeboy]

You bitches will feel my shield cannon.

Bring it! :D

[Ender]

Bumping this thread as I tool out two tournaments and added a new one, also to inform everyone that the RC cars will be a factor in the new tournament! :D :woot: Less than a week yet to go! :woot:

[Airstotle]

So what yer sayin is the game you like best will be two of the tourneys. Some of us don't even have the game UT3. I can understand the demo, but it seems to me there should be all too much RvS interest atleast. Perhaps I am wrong, but then again....

[Airstotle]

Or perhaps the Triathalon should have the UT4 demo in it for all involved.

[Airstotle]

AND I have already said I am will to help "run" some of the tourneys to take some pressure off you two ( Ender & Disco ). BRING BACK RvS! BRING BACK RvS!:grumpy:

[Ender]

Both those tournies are stopped because we can offer no prize to a TEAM of winners. (lol I first spelled it whiners! :p) With only 13 PC signups so far, that BARELY makes for 3 teams for 4v4 rvs, usually considered the bare minimum for tournament play. But not everyone has RvS just like the UT games.

A pickup tourny is perfectly fine which if you would like you can set up. But it'll have to be done when none of the other tournaments are going. The other reason for ditching these particular tournies is the amount of time they consume. Team tournaments are a lot harder to organize than ffa or 1v1's and they take much more time. Seeing's how our LAN is only 14 hours it makes it kinda hard.

Don't worry, RvS will definitely get it's spotlight from us in the future. But we want to have a substantial prize to give away to a team of winners. Unless you all wouldn't mind getting matching cd holders. ;)

Also take a look at the triathalon games again...the ut2k3 has been replaced with a game that will bring in teh furious competition! *cackles*

Everyone should have quake 3. If not it costs what? $1? ;)

That's what I like to hear! Play cheap games and I'll be in for both Xbox AND PC. I think the only game I have that you guys play is UT2K4 :(

[RawKus]

Yeah the only PC game i play at the moment is Soldier of Fortune 2. Which is about 2 years old and i play in the very first version of the game before it got patched. Its more subsceptible to cheaters but its pretty obvious who cheats and what not. It also has a smaller community and is easier to get well-known and know other people.

[DiscoDave]

:woot: SoF2!!1!!!1!1!11

[Ender]

Well we have a quake 3 server, why not put it to good use??? ;)

SoF2 was okay but IMO, RvS is sooooooooooooooooo much better. But that's just me...oh and Eb has it for like $25. That = cheap game. :)

[DiscoDave]

<=== prefers SoF2 to RvS

[Ender]

bah...dunno why. ;) Just need to, uh, I dunno, get better or something. ;)

h4w....I'm no better at SoF2 than I am RvS, so you can't use that on me!





:erm:

[Ender]

whatever, you pwned me the last time we played SoF2...I couldn't hit anything in that game! :(

[DiscoDave]

Um...I'm pretty sure I haven't pwned anyone in that game. In fact, there was a trained monkey there that was kicking my ass. A retarded monkey on that. Who only had one arm and kept falling asleep. :mad:

Where can I get Race Cars?

Top Secret...we don't dish 'em out until it's time for the event, to prevent people from practicing. ;)

[Jobe16]

So this is a mod made by BLE?

[DiscoDave]

Nope. We wish. ;)

[Jobe16]

So your saying I can get it, muaahhaaa.

/me spends the next hour trying to find it

Damn hackers. THE INTERNET IS OURS, YOU CANNOT USE IT WITHOUT OUR EXPRESS PERMISSION!!1!!1!!1111

[Ender]

btw, for future events, fyi, we will try to switch up the tournies as much as possible. For example, next month's Triathalon will feature Call of Duty instead of RvS, Unreal Championship instead of HALO, possibly DOOM instead of Quake 3! Not sure about that one yet but possibly.

The BF go-karts is likely going to go and hopefully we can find something as cool to replace it.

Then we'll try and have 1 more tournament (For PC) on top of that. Hopefully a team tournament.

[SuperDude]

CoD woot:woot:

[Jobe16]

/me waits for Battlefield 1942, Call of Duty, Raven Sheild Triatholon.
