Beginning Saturday February the 10th at 3pm British time (GMT +0), there will be a 12 hour team based competition. Members of both sites will be able to participate. Here's some details in a tidy list form for y'all:
Goal: Team Deathmatch games between Snarkpit and TWHL.
Server: MuzzleFlash's server at TWHL. 84.244.130.45:27015 (Please take a moment to check out the ping and such)
Server Capacity: 4 per team.
Server Rules: The "Good Sportsmanship Rule" will be strongly adhered to. This goes for within the server, and the forums proper.
Current maps: n/a
Ill feelings posted in the forums will be strictly governed by myself here and the admins on the Snarkpit, so be warned.
Further details:
There will be a possible 6 or more maps in rotation. Half chosen by each team. For simplicity, default maps would be preferred, but custom maps are acceptable as long as an outside link is available. The maps in the current rotation will be displayed in this post, in the details section. This will include download links to any custom maps. Map downloads will be disabled during the games to reduce download ping issues. The maps will be played by the two teams, each having a pre-designated model. Since members joining may be members of both sites, playing on either team is perfectly acceptable. Weapons stay will be on. Friendly fire will be set so everyone can take damage by any ammo fired. If the server is filled to capacity, it will be expected that anyone playing give another member a chance to join after a couple maps played. As long as there are open slots, you may play till you drop. The server will be run for 12 hours. This will allow a good range of people to play, because of the time zone differences. You may frag anytime within that 12 hour period. This event will continue each Saturday until the novelty wears off, or until the owner decides its time to end.
This event is 100% for entertainment purposes. Anyone not interested in playing please keep your negative ideas to yourself. Anyone interested in playing please remember that its all for fun. Scoring isn't of the highest priority. Half-Life 1 is old. It is hoped that this will renew some of the flagging interest. Being inter-site, this might also promote some interaction and dispel the preconceived notion's each site shares about the other...- Orpheus
Muzzle has a couple of server mods such as fireworks mod, entmod and adminmod. They will of course be disabled to improve ping, except adminmod, for administration purposes.
Should you find a huge issue with something, you may post your feelings in this here thread. Possible points of contention may include:
- How many maps and of what type.
- What day of the week.
- How many hours played.
- Starting time.
- Password.
- Frag limit/Time limit.
