Hey guys,

So with xmas round the corner i thought why not revisit the good ol "tournament" we used to have.

Would anyone be up for some CS or HL action ? Prizes included ofc :)

If we don't have to be available for every match, I'm in. Unfortunately my internet at home isn't reliable enough to guarantee anything, but I will join if I can.

We can use the ticket system like before.
I can host a EU server and rent a VPS in US (recommendations ?)

To make sure everyone gets a chance to play and win we can run it for 24hrs or so.

I really want this to happen, since it didn't last year.

Add an optional $5 entry fee to attract the sharks out there =P

Say if you win the tournament and didn't pay the fee, the $ prize only goes down to the next-highest player who paid in maybe? Idk, it might be fun :)

Anyhoo I hope it's CS, kitteh is excited :badass:

Lets keep it w/o entry fee's to make it accessible to everyone.
Im throwing in 20$ at least.

Does 19-20th of Dec work for everyone ?

I'd hop on and play when I could. Been busy with school and work, but this sounds too fun to miss out on.

W00t for CS 1.6 =PP

How many maps will you have in the rotation? I nominate these three for starters:

I've never actually played my map with people before and it was apparently a riot last time. I nominate de_space.

If it's not retro only, then I'd love to get another blast of this cheeky motherfucker.
I've had the Source version in various stages of completeness for years and it'd be great to get a feel for it again.

Its not retro, all maps that are de, cs, fy, as oriented will do.
Il have a look around the vault myself see if i can come up with some good ones.

De_space would be a blast, Tet! De_twhl2011 is a very clean/pretty map, though the gameplay is a bit meh from what I remember.

Id like to have a max of 16'ish maps.
Is everyone okay with a 24h tourney ?

Posted 9 years ago2014-12-02 21:20:11 UTC Post #322606
Sounds cool. Will there be a list of all maps for download far enough in advance, or a collective archive for single download? I'll have to reinstall CS.

I'm gonna have to teach myself how to play CS 1.6, shouldn't be too hard with my 500 hours on CSGO.

Posted 9 years ago2014-12-02 22:08:27 UTC Post #322608
^ indeed me too dim, we should play ;)

Besides twhl maps, I feel at least SOME of the cardinal de maps should be included--dust2, inferno, nuke--, for some balance in the rotation. [/2cents]

Also, I had no idea vertigo was an original map, lol!

Yeah I nominate De_Dome.

No I don't.

Maybe samurai_jack_mini_map_ultimate?

Who am I kidding :nervous:

But seriously, out of all my crap CS maps, I never seen awp_2tabere_v2 played. It's not that bad. Good for a few quick shots.

Poor Urby with no maps :( you can nominate someone else's map.

Sadly, the only 'map' I've ever completed enough for any kind of release, a dev textured version of the mansion from Luigi's Mansion, has been lost to the ages afaik.

I nominate de_dust_thunder. :lol: Although, Wed. and Thur.? I will be working. :aghast:

How does competition work? Is it ratio of kills and deaths or just kills/points?
Posted 9 years ago2014-12-03 19:11:01 UTC Post #322630
Its Friday and Saturday (19-20th)

Its simple 1 kill = 1 ticket, more tickets more chances to win.
Maybe adding extra tickets for plants/defuses would be more fun.

I am thinking of making 3 prizes that will be randomed out after the tourney, so more chances to win something.

I would be REALLY excited to play dust_thunder with human players, PLEASE add dust thunder :)

BTW, do we get a ticket bonus for being extremely drunk during gameplay? :P

Sure why not :)
Winter themed maps are welcomed :)

If i can verify that you are drunk i will personally grant you 500 tickets, not that im advertising drinking :D

I'm finding aiming and controlling recoil really hard in cs. Tons of active servers out there to practice though, I had no idea there were still so many active players :)

Rimrook
We should fire up Castle Rimrook and see how it plays =P

I can't get used to how GO sucks in terms of shooting.

Anyway, an EU practice server should be live by next week.

Rimrook, you should make DE_beerfort :)

Those damn terrorists are trying to ruin everyone's good time! They're trying to blow up the combo Pizza place and Booze store! (Gasp!) Stop them from making everyone as miserable as they are!!

Castle Rimrook plays ok. A lot of little places to hide and such. Though never played too seriously so I'm not sure if it's right for this. If someone else wants to check it out and give a second opinion, that'd be great.

How about we change the format to CSDM ? More massacre, more fun.
rufee rufeeSledge fanboy
Posted 9 years ago2014-12-05 15:13:25 UTC Post #322667
Maybe uncle Ruf can throw it on the practice server Rimmeh ;)

CSDM would be fun too. (maybe you could split it 12 hours of dm and 12 of defusal, or is the server a pita to setup?) Also, do you plan on adding any bots to the mix?

If you make at purely a dm sever, you should really add one of the iceworld maps to the mix ;)

Hmm 12/12 does sound good, its usually a map change away.
No bots though.

I'm having some fun practicing for the tourney. The only thing that's hard to get used to is you can shoot through every wall, so there is a lot of wallspamming to adjust to :P

Ruf please use a fun server mod if you can, that shows on the screen when you take damage and give it, and has those audible killstreak messages :)

Aw ok ;)

Well whatever mod they are using at 192.223.29.61:27015 is really good; It simplifies the buy menu and shows incoming/outgoing HP damage. And yeah, CSDM is ungodly fun, especially in a tight map like fy_snow/iceworld :)
