I will post a thread about tournament rules closer to the date of the LAN as soon as I decide on the rules we will use. for now the consensus seems to be 5v5 ctf (not 2fort, Mach 4 or Turbine)
he he, ok i think the consensus is Random teams with post assignment balancing.
Everyone ok with tha’?

We used to bring our own computers into the computer lab though…maybe that would work…
Let’s make it to talk about this more after the big LAN alright?
that’ll work, for those who cant bring in their desktops, I play on a laptop with a mouse and it works just fine, so i’ll be bringing my own.

Mostly scared for my own computer, its finicky, also I am not sure if the computer lab computers will run TF2, something we should definitely look into.are you kidding me? they hardly run vista…

i dont see this any different than the consul smash nights? whats to be scared of?BTW: that reminds me, why not use w/e room the consul guys are using so its free.
Good idea, which one is that again?
Edit: oh you mean the multi purpose room in Central drive… thats kind of a hike for me
I know that’s why i’m heading up most of the set up while getting some help from people who have done this before.
One idea is to get a list of new players who will be attending the LAN and set up a TF2 workshop. Just something to teach them how to play the game and give the newer players a little practice.
Sweet, as for the Date, how about the Last Saturday before Halloween as like some kind of Halloween LAN as well

Chrome owns firefox.Call me old fashioned, but i like my Firefox because i know where everything is and I’m used to it. To each his own I say!
what i meant is, to rent a room, one not quite as big as the Grand room, maybe the Catamount room? Then we just do it like a normal LAN, order pizza and stuff, just hang out and have a good time. Unfortunately, i’m a freshman and i dont quite know how the room reservations work yet.
What i like about chrome is it’s minimalist and doesn’t clutter as much as other browsers, but you cant beat good ol firefox.
Oops… what i meant to say is, all the TF2 players on campus and in the surrounding area/in the club.

I vote for a TF2 mini-LAN where we have a tournament and I get to pick the teams! One team will be so epic it will make your eyes bleed out of your finger tips..Yeah… if anyone, i’ll be picking teams based on what i see at the LAN. Plus I really dont plan on making this a tournament type LAN, just a way for all the TF2 players on campus to get together and play and get to know each other better.
Also i found this new map called ctf_steamroll. Dice can vouch for me, it is a fun map that goes quickly and is easy to determine sudden death. Heres a link if you want to look at it: ctf_steamroll
Let me hear your comments, i really like this map personally.
How it works is, each team has 10 seconds before the round starts to set up defenses, if you get killed you are taken out of the action until the next round. Teams have 90 sec to cap the intel and the losing team gets dropped onto a train track and run over by a train. The rounds go very quickly and scoring could be best out of 10, 10 games, the most captures wins even if it’s a stalemate, it still counts as a game.

lmao! i really wish i could come down there and try at least… would be fungimme a bone saw and i can take out anyone! lol
Maybe afterward, we can set up a 1v1 medic battle between you and her and settle this thing once and for all.
Btw, most of the kills you got on me, you killed me from behind…
Stay on topic… Stay on topic!!
Well if you guys wanna meet up on the server later, i’ll show you a new ctf map i found and see what you guys think.
Plus i still havent added most of the TF2 players to my steam friend’s list.
Also, this is a little off topic but…
Stay on topic plz…
Anyway, Lets vote, Post 1 word either random or captain, and then we’ll go from there

Best ppl would include me but I’m not going to be there so…Best players that are going to be there are probably you, Kuros, and Kappamerc. Also very good are MasterP, Nukedude, Cacaphony, Chupathingy, and NoDice.
Yeah, Kuros was very surprised i even capped Stage 3 Cap 1 in 1v1 Dustbowl against him, he’s very good at defending that last point as a soldier…
MasterP said:
Keep playing? One team will eventually cap.so you mean, in the next round, the first cap officially wins the game? Kinda like overtime
sounds like a good idea, but to do that, we need to decide who the best people at the LAN are. Who do you guys think are gonna be the “best” on the servers? we dont exactly have a lot of stats and we’re gonna need to agree on who is going to be the team captains.
