Clefairy Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 What is a "proper game"? 12 on 12? Again, I would disagree with that. It's how Valve designed the game, but their intentions only go as far as you let them. Diff'rent strokes, etc etc. Hopefully some news on that colo'ing project comes through soon; a second server would alleviate the problem entirely.

Bleck Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 What is a "proper game"? 12 on 12?Again, I would disagree with that. just because you enjoy playing 3 vs 3 sandvich only 2fort matches doesn't meant that it's the proper way to play the game I could say that I enjoy seeing how many times I can roll around hyrule field in a certain amount of time but uh that doesn't mean that's the way it's supposed to be played basically what you like doing ≠ the point of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefairy Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I'm sorry, I thought the point of the game was to HAVE FUN. If people aren't having fun with whatever that is at the moment, they can rtv or leave. It's not like there's a server shortage. You know, I've been here a lot longer than my join date. Once upon a time, you were my god. I look back on that version of me, and I just feel sorry for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Sooooooooo....what became of all those talks about inter-OCR scrimming? 'Cause I may have made a team. By accident. Or maybe not, depending on if we're doing anything of the sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By accident.Or maybe not, depending on if we're doing anything of the sort. We're still in a holding pattern, I guess. Rambo was the de facto leader of the idea, but he's off causing shenanigans with Bonzai. I got an offer to scrim as well, so I guess.. You know, what the hell. First five people to message me on Steam are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well, me and Joseki are in. We need two teams of six...so...there you are. [Edit:] I'm assuming we're doing the standard 6v6, 2 of each class max, 1 demo, 1 medic type thing, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemophiliac Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 i personally am in huge favor of having captains and picking teams...i am still in for scrimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Agent Man Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I don't have a lot of time to play to begin with. If I have to spend time downloading maps, sitting through arena, and going through the motions in a 6v6 match (TF2 is meant to be played with more people in that than most circumstances), then I jump ship and head to another server. Sure, melee only with steam community friends is fun every now and then, but I'd rather just play a regular game most of the time. Also, custom maps tend to suck a lot of the time. Not all, but most, especially those that feature a gimmick that gets old after about three minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TehDonut Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I wanna scrim, if you guys don't have full teams yet. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 So, here's a list of people who have made their desire to scrim known to me outside of posting on the forums: Joseki meatball garian When you add people on the forums, you got me, Clefairy, and Donut. That's six right there.... ...now we just need 6 more people, haha. [Edit:] Bonzai and Rambo would still be up for it, I'm assuming. If Action Hawk ever got online, he'd undoubtedly be up for it. Just sayin'. [Edit 2:] Forgot to ask: do we have a server for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireSlash Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 ES's server is pretty fail. The ship combat feels pretty broken too, and the general combat is terrible. However, it's come to my attention that Tribes 2 is now free, which excelled in all of these. You can download it from http://tribesnext.com/ For those not familiar with the game, here's a quick youtube: The game features various vehicles, team play, various game modes, and large player counts. I think it could be fun for a night or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefairy Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Fair points on the customs topic. I'll bear them in mind when making future suggestions. -- There's been a bit of confusion, sorry about that. I'd received an invitation to scrim from Loghead, you'd be playing under the lions banner in that case. To avoid confusion, hit me up on steam if you're interested in that. As for the OCR scrim, I'll run back over the thread in a minute and contact everyone who said they were interested. We'll see where the roster's at and take it from there. EDIT: Current roster. Abyss Joseki meatball garian Clefairy Bleck Hemophiliac Prophet Orwell Donut The bench: Black Waltz (unavailable) S.A.M. (time constraints) Bardic (time constraints) Rambo (unavailable) Bonzai (unavailable) Vivi22(no word yet) Three spots empty now. Black Waltz is back on 8/2, Rambonzambozai is AWOL, so unless we get a couple more folks jumping in there'll be a wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abyss Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have the internet again, woo! I'm still up for a scrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensai Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 @ Clefairy: Oh about Loghead. It seems like we have enough people to play an inter-OCR scrim, though. Joseki, meatball, garian, Abyss, Prophet Orwell, bleck. That's six. Clefairy, Donut, me. That's 9 people who definitely wanna do scrim-style matches, not including people who would definitely be up for it (like Hawk and Rambonzai). [Edit:] Sporknight and Yahoo are in. That's 11. One more and we can do this. [Edit 2:] Just noticed Clefairy made a roster; he's much more organized. Ele said she'd be interested if we were doing Highlander, but I don't think we'll get enough people for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
