Beware the Tourny they only bring ruin. Seriously we have had two other tournments and they haven't worked out so hot. In fact the tournment organizer usually stops playing (Alabaster and Zot). So I say no tourny or have someone who I don't like organize it.
I was just thinking about another PA tourney and I believe the best way to run it is through conferences (ie East, west, central) because getting everyone together at one time was a giant clusterfuck. The yooru-PEONS can generally hang with the eastern lot because they have no lives and stay up that late.
Within conferences, each team plays another team twice.
Each conference should have three teams, or failing that, two conferences of three teams, with the final between the winners of each conference being played on a weekend evening so that all you scrotums can make it.
Of course, I don't want to organise this. Fuck that.
So kind of like an AFC/NFC thing? Teams by region?
I think another tourny would be good. The biggest problem last time was scheduling though and people just not showing up. Like I think it was Flippy and Enders teams we ended up waiting 3 weeks for.
Not sure how to really solve that other than just doing the whole thing over the course of a week and if you can't be available that week then don't sign up.
Whoever the medic with me last night was for CTF -- awesome. 2 medics take out a soldier, a medic, a heavy, and an engie, and then capture the intel... great way to come back to the game after so many months
Now to get my achievement weapons...

I organized the PA vs. Evil Avatar and I'm still playing. But that was only one game...
I complain, but I've already spent the last 20 minutes writing up rules. I'll probably have them up by the end of the day. Times of matches will be posted when the signup thread goes up, and there's no chance to reschedule.
Got the day off work and this is the perfect opportunity to work on the plug-in.
I have a question for map-makers:
1) is it possible to make a map similar to dustbowl (a combination of multiple maps) that only has one control point to defend.
2) How much control do you have over what section is played next in a dustbowl configuration? Can you make it so the sections only progress a certain way?
Question for everyone else:
How would you like teams to be chosen? Auto-balance will be disabled and doing a zombie to survivor team change will be prohibited during play.
There are two possible options:
1) The original zombies and original survivors switch roles each game.
OR
2) Everyone starts out as a survivor then people are randomly chosen to be zombies.
I remember the last tourney kind of killed the PA servers in general. A lot of players were involved, and most ended up stressed enough over it that they either stopped playing normally, or when they did, they were a lot less fun to be around, which caused people who weren't in the tourney to stop playing as well. I expect that unless the next were to be somewhat less ambitious, it would probably end up the same way.

My puny shotgun was no match for your rampage. It was so painful to watch!

I believe that was because the first tournament was a "serious business" style tourney. I think if we do another one just play by the standard rule set (crits allowed ect). I'd actually like to do a 9v9 highlander rules tourney (1 of each class on a team). I think that would be pretty fun.

Exactly.
Schedule it 2 weeks from now. If you can't make it on like a Tuesday night @ 9 PM, then you can geeeehhttt outt!

I still think Hydro, if rearranged a bit, would make for an awesome domination map. I've said that from the beginning, even when no one had made a working domination mode at the time.
Because... I actually like some configurations of Hydro. If it wasn't for the map's unerring habit of ending with a stalemate when one team finally has a co-ordinated push hurtling forward, it'd be pretty good. lol chokepoints

Man, you do not want to mess with hydro, trust me. :P

And I've encountered four customised versions of Hydro and yet none of the mappers have thought to try it, so I continue to spread the word
Also, you knock yourself out. Not in doing anything in particular, just repeatedly traumatise your cranium until you lose consciousness. It would be amusing to watch!

You don't need mapping talent, the map is finished. Just move shit around.

Uh, have you played canalzone? Hydro, with all its points connected, would be far bigger than canalzone. Players would wander for days trying to find some opposition o_O
So I'm planning on making an Eastern and Western division and people can choose what division they'd like to be in.
Schedule matches for 7pm Eastern and 7pm Pacific on each night of a week. If we want this to be fun I think it needs to be fast, and if we want to get it done in a week two divisions with 3 teams each is enough.
Is putting it the week of the 11th to the 16th too early? Will people be able to schedule their evenings about a week in advance?

So I decided I want to learn how to play an offensive engineer. Other than being rude, swearing, and spouting lots of racial slurs (I kid!), does anybody have any advice? As I understand it, the best way to do it is to plant lvl 1 sentries in unexpected places and shotgun people around it and to it, then move up with the weapons of the fallen. Don't upgrade your gun as it just wastes metal.
Are there any use for dispensers? Is it a good idea to try to get a lvl 3 up if you've got it in a brutal spot near their base?
Again, I'm talking about offensive engi, I know most all of the defensive engi stuff and generic engi stuff, so don't tell me that hitting my stuff will make it build faster.
