TWHL XMAS Tournament 2014

What is this ?
Well as the name suggests its a tournament, a chance to kick back before the holidays and blow a few heads off

What game are we playing ?
Counter-Strike 1.6

But its 2014 and Global Offensive if already out, why not it?
Maybe next time, but until then dust off your copy of CS 1.6 and get a few rounds in before the tourney.

When ?
Saturday December 20th 20:00 GMT

Where ?
The tournament will be hosted on 46.235.226.63:27015 server is located in UK so even if you are from US the ping shouldn't be horrible.
Server is open to test out the maps.

Rules ?
This will not be your standard mr15
The tournament is kill ticket based 1 kill = 1 ticket. So even if you just come in and kill a few guys you can still win a prize. More tickets means more chances to win.
Whilst in game please keep your name the same as in TWHL so that we know who is who.
While anyone can join you have to be a member of TWHL to be eligible to win prizes.
And just so its out there the server accepts STEAM clients only.

Prizes ?
1. 25$ of Steam credit (Donated by Captain Terror)
2. 20$ of Steam credit (Donated by rufee)

These prizes will be drawn randomly at the end, so there will be 2 winners.

Anything else ?

"File not found."

Will be available

Is non-Steam CS still a thing? Genuine question - I thought everyone had migrated to 1.6.

^
Never heard of a non-steam CS MP either, possibly it's a Russki thing?!

I can't believe you didn't say "de_dust off your copy of CS 1.6."

Not that creative Crypt

Eastern EU never heard of steam since 2008.

I'm pretty sure there was a non-Steam CS 1.6. It was an update patch for the version you got on discs.

Awesome, can't wait! Will try to reinstall my cs 1.6 as it is pretty messed up.

I'm out of pizza. I've been de_pizza'd.

Dat Pizza doe, it'll getcha!

I had a look on the new server, and apart from one >500 spike, my ping was mostly sub-100. I'm pretty excited for this. I shall need to get some drinks and crisps for tomorrow or something.

Three people on the server now, current map is de_twhl2011

Get rid of awp_2tabere_v2. If we're all bored of it after about 3 minutes, I doubt it'll be a thriller for 10x that.
And an RTV wouldn't go astray.

Seconded.

installing and popping on for some settings stuff :3

Agreed.

I nominate Castle Rimmeh to replace tabere if it's not to late uncle rufee

Might have just been me, but my high ping made de_racetownz nigh-unplayable. The controls were made so sluggish that, when I wasn't dying en route, I literally could not make it to the middle section before the rounds were over from bumping into shit.
Not a problem for everyone, I know, but a bit of a bitch for people like moi.

Castle Rim is a small and easily understandable map that sucks. I guess it's your choice though. I never nominated for it or anything.

Racetownz is far too big and difficult to manage. Given the rules are kill based, it doesn't bode well for the mode of our tourney.

I LOVE RACETOWNZ.

Please don't remove it. It's a magical map.

It may be too late, but are we doing a VOIP thing, or just playing?

I didn't know it either Jessie until the end

I will cut you...
some cake for that.

Hmm that's 12:00pm EST
I have lots to do today but i should be able to make it for a few hours!

If I join in, it probably won't be until around 2 hours in, roughly. Unless I get up early, which I might. Or might not. It's all a mystery!

Also, to reiterate for whenever ruffles checks this (seeing as this thing starts in ~6 hours):

Get rid of awp_2tabere_v2.
[...] And an RTV wouldn't go astray.

Seconded.

Agreed.

I'll be recording tonight for a highlights reel so the more the merrier on TS

Lol I had no idea that map got in the list. It was merely a proposal, that map is certainly not intended to be played for that long. I agree too.

Oh bloody hell.
Very well.

wow i was off by a bit. its 3PM est

Yeah. Speaking to Dimbark last night... What is it with you yanks and time? Not to mention your issues with the 24 hour clock...

we have timezones? eastern, central, pacific..
and i can't tell you why we use 12hr time.
all i know is I grew up with it so that's what' im comfortable using

I ain't judging Tet, just curious. <3

i will be playing just an hour...

A quickly hacked up website is available: http://rufee.eu/twhl.php
stats update every 30 secs

i am in.. where are the people?

Isn't it not supposed to start for an hour?
[Edit]
Also, I shouldn't have set up that surround sound system for my brother. The only place I can use my computer is in the same room as the TV. I was planning on joining the TeamSpeak server, but anything I say will probably be drowned out.

30 minutes

Apparently my de_minestorm is different from the server's, despite having been downloaded from the server itself while in-game.

Three hours twenty minutes of footage...

Highlights reel will be up at some point in the not to near distant human future.

It was a fair fight, no one can say it wasn't.

It was only after being addressed directly after the whole thing ended that I realised my microphone apparently wasn't working the entire time.

The tournament was fun though, except for that one map in which I got 0 kills during the entire half-hour match.

Ok after a few pulled maps due to low number of spawns and a map that breaks itself after you download it we have the tally up.And the lucky winners are:
The rufee prize (20$): RimrookThe Captain Terror prize (25$): DimbeakDim contact CT to arrange your winning.
Rim send me your steam account name so i can get things sorted with you

Thank you all who participated, hopefully next time this wont be so rushed and someone helps me out a little more

Had a freaking blast playing. Thanks again for organizing this. We should do one every 3-4 months. Grats Rim and Dim!

I suck at every map.

I suck marginally less at every map. Apparently.

I am shockingly high on this board...

It's probably your fart propulsion system.
