Tournament

[Dr.Salamander]

So I Haven't been to EX in a while and after rousing from my slumber I feel like a good way to get a bit of activity would to be to host some sort of tournament.

dunno how it would work or anything but I feel like it would stir up some activity.

Also I havent been seeing any reminders from the exterminatus game group it move or anything?

(also steam name is gestapo velociraptor if any of you remember me)

That nickname rings a bell.   I remember you 

Also I havent been seeing any reminders from the exterminatus game group it move or anything?

Odd.  i've been scheduling events and posting announcements like mad.  Are you sure you've joined the correct group ( http://steamcommunity.com/groups/exterminatusgame ) ?  There are other (older) EX groups that never really caught on.

Starting a tournament alongside the release of the new Beta sounds like a splendid idea to me.  if you are going to organise it I can give you shout out in the news post.

Wouldn't mind hosting it, although I don't know much about setting one up.

I'm thinking about it going:
teams of 5-9 players (depending on how many people we have actively)
defensive map (where one team attempts to run the time out while the other attempts to accomplish objectives)
Progress is measured by who gets to the furthest objective. And if they tie, move to a tug of war type map.
Teams take turns on both sides.
possible prizes?

also should we use beta 7 or the most current alpha?
And would this be done on the Cozworld server?

The maps are not built to cope with more that 8 players per team, so your largest team size would have to be 8, rather than 9.  My own server can only cope with 8 players total, so I would suggest setting the small team size as 4 so you can use mine in case Cozworld is unavailable..

The defensive maps always have one particular race defending if the team plying defenders specialises in that race they get an unfair advantage.  I would suggest sticking to the tug of war type maps like digsite, orbital, lycantium and ichar IV.

You had better contact CoZmicShredder directly about using his server(s), he might give you admin right or maybe even setup a dedicated server.

How about steam Gifts/Vouchers as prizes?

Beta 7.25 will be out by the end of this weekend i'd like you to use that 

[Dr.Salamander]

4 people makes prizes cheaper so I'm fine with that 

Although in a defense map, if one team specializes in defence, when their offense turn comes around they're most likely lacking. Although for sake of simplicity Tug of war maps may just be best.

Cozmicshredder is his steamname right?
