The Get Together pub marathon

I recently played a 2v2 on the long forgotten... behold... SWAMPLIGHT. I haven't had this much fun in awhile.

This led me to think that we could do something refreshing. Think of Draft Night minus the headache.
Just a big pub, on mainly old but also some new maps, attracting lots of different people from different clans, if we happen to have enough for tdm well let it be, if not oh well.

The main goal of this is obviously, have a load of fun with people you might not generally meet/play with.
The reason why I haven't picked ''league'' maps for this event is that I believe it's easier to have a laid back attitude and to avoid drama and ragequti's. Most people aren't used to these maps and the one who does probably haven't played them in awhile (killboxes aside). two of what I consider being the funniest pub killboxes were thrown in since I'd like to see some killbox fan playing through the whole maplist as well.

MAPS:
Backbone Download: http://www.fpsbanana.com/mirrors/startd ... 39&ext=rar
Domebox_tsgk Download: http://forum.tsgk.com/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=119
Killbox_tsgk_v8_rc3 Download: http://forum.tsgk.com/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=1
Np_refinery Download: http://www.fpsbanana.com/mirrors/startd ... 29&ext=zip
Powerhouse
Swamplight Download: http://www.fpsbanana.com/mirrors/startd ... 30&ext=zip

Maps will be approximately 20 minutes each for a total of 2h00 or so.
This thread is mainly for feedback and schedule discussion. Maplist is pretty much set in stone.

The event will be hosted FRIDAY NIGHT at Edge's Server (thank you very much) 63.211.111.25:27015
Server password will be ''pubnight''

+1 Internetz to The Argumentalizer :D, I'm glad to see the Con is trying to get these maps back into the spotlight. Current server rotations are monotonous and stale. Maybe this can help revive some of the old DM spark.

Well, i'm a Conmunist. The Pub scene is so bad its crazy.
Even old servers that used to be fun have spawn Pro, whining about Spawn killing, reverse spawn killing , spawn camping, reverse-reverse spawn killing, rules rules...

Horrible.
And overnight sprout clans running around in invisible cubes in the middle of giant courtyards with one guy spamming Orbs from a hidden room and another mag whoring.

Or, you can just play Overwatch all night (with Lag).

WarArena and several others are all there is.
Thanks, i'll be there.

Been talking about a pub night for two years, just never happened. I support this idea.

Why would you password the server? We are doing pubnights for hl2ctf as well on tues and weds.

2009-10-09 02:15:45

Because I want it to be University only and not filled with "billybobsandwich32" whining because everybody hacks.

That is why.

woot pub night , when!

^ I agree with above statement, It would not be a fun pub with people who cant hang with the university players. It would be non stop hack accusations.

Sounds cool just because you are running maps that are not the usual league maps.
When I think back to some of the best times I had playing HL2DM over the last 5 years one things stands out:
I used to really enjoy evil pookies server for nothing more than the fact they ran oddball maps where part of the fun was figuring out
the map as you go and trying to dominate on something new. I would say now that FF servers are the same but I get tired of hearing
them whine about the rules to everyone who defended themselves against a reverse spawn kill. Sometimes I think those guys get more fun
out of enforcing the rules than they do just playing the game, too bad too as the map cycle is pretty good.

I'd play, but Friday is a horrible night to play video games, at least for me.

If it is just an hour I would say a weekly thing during the week would be great.

If you do get it going take it to the hl2dm Event section. I am sure we can get you mod power if you don't have it already.

I'd love to play some of the old maps that never made it into league play. Gasworks is one that comes to mind. There was 700 versions.
