I have read the announcement post and im not sure exactly what it is... can anyone explain this tournament in dummytalk for me?
Basically it's the largest series of community wars ever organised.
I give this the Squarepusher thumb of approval and sign up for Renforums i guess.
We need at least 2 more signups, preferably a few more though .
I'd consider it, but my PC is currently under repairs, and I'm playing ren on the Family PC atm. even with my PC, I'd still feel like i'd be letting everyone down with my shit net, so shit PC + Shit net = definite no. Plenty of members and decent players here, I thought it would of filled up already
IF the date is good AND i'm allowed to i'm in
Zeratul wrote on Sun, 04 April 2010 09:20 IF the date is good AND i'm allowed to i'm in Not my decision of course, but I would think some people would have problems playing with or against someone who has been caught cheating.
snpr1101 wrote on Sun, 04 April 2010 12:32 Plenty of members and decent players here, I thought it would of filled up already Well I don't know about anyone else but I am not signing up because I disagree with the rules allowing cheats to be used (see: clear scope, custom huds with building bars etc). But that's just my personal preference... if the majority of the Renegade community are unable to play a game without all those cheats installed then I feel sorry for those sad losers.
Clark Kent wrote on Sun, 04 April 2010 14:17 Not my decision of course, but I would think some people would have problems playing with or against someone who has been caught cheating. I could imagine why... but it is a good way to show i no longer cheat that is of course if i'm allowed to play

If you can devise an efficient way to police the use of ClearScope, and HUD's then the RGCT team is all ears.
There's a difference between attempted enforcement and simply saying it's allowed. Custom HUDs can easily be checked by a screenshot taken by each player at the start of the game and at immediately after any occasion where they leave and rejoin. If any player fails to post their screenshot(s) the team is disqualified. Clearscope again *could* be checked by screenshot but due to the fact you have to buy a sniper to do so it would be awkward to do so and probably not worth it as the advantage gained via that is less than gained via building health bars being constantly shown on the HUD. Anyway, I simply posted that to state one of my main reasons for not joining, not to start a debate on the subject. How the RGCT team run their tournament is their own business. Just so you know, the second reason I am not joining is the massive time frame involved... how am I supposed to know more than 4 months in advance if I will be able to play a game of Renegade on a given date?
danpaul88 wrote on Sun, 04 April 2010 16:22 building health bars being constantly shown on the HUD. I know of a BB HUD that has it so you can hit a key and make them disappear, but of course you could recognize the rest of the hud easily as it is one of the simplest HUD's I have seen... but it was not openly released and I haven't heard of any other HUD's with this function. A certain group of people know which HUD I am talking about.

Also sign me up
Ah sure, why not. I might aswell help renforums team out. Hopefully, I'll remember the dates this time.

Not trying to properly debate here, but the beauty of the way I've worked this one is that your team captain organises the matches with your opponent rather than us dictate when you should play. We have deadlines where you should X amount of games done, but nothing drastic. I've tried to make it as flexible as possible. I can still make changes to the rules till the end of April. I'm open to suggestions. I thought I'd disallowed BBs..I'll go sack my assistant >:| I'm trying to get as many people happy as possible, so more people play. Then there is more teams, more competitiveness etc etc
Could 2 teams agree to strengthen some rules? E.g. if both captains agreet hat BB are not allowed, could they impose this in their game? About Zeratul's application: the answer would be no. About the building bars: not here. Sadukar, I'm not sure if u just did this in prupose for this topic to derail, if not search for the 10 other topics with building bar debates.

Goztow wrote on Mon, 05 April 2010 01:33 About Zeratul's application: the answer would be no. I expected that. at least i got my answer. was worth the shot anyway
Could someone send me a PM with the date when it's available, otherwise I'm like 90% sure to forget it lol.
SSADMVR wrote on Thu, 08 April 2010 12:32 Could someone send me a PM with the date when it's available, otherwise I'm like 90% sure to forget it lol. same here.
hey guys, good to see your interested. Id encourage you to check out the official RGCT2 forums and have a look over all the processes and please raise any concerns or suggestions cant you guys just check the forums and set an alarm up like everyone else. Im an aussie so games are always at 5am-6am for me and i just check the right forums and set my alarm, give it a try one day! cya there guys and good luck
PM's will be sent, but only one . Signups are still possible!
Goztow wrote on Sat, 03 April 2010 10:53 Omar007 - 'Cause we needed at least one Islamist... Dude, wtf im Dutch and not even close to Islamist... Most of the time i dont take things personal but i dont like using this kind of sentences to be honest
its an Arabic name so what you expect... If I name myself "Hans" I wouldnt b pissed being called a kraut....
Wiener wrote on Sun, 11 April 2010 15:21 its an Arabic name so what you expect... If I name myself "Hans" I wouldnt b pissed being called a kraut.... I know a Mexican named Omar
Wiener wrote on Sun, 11 April 2010 15:33 doesnt change the names origin doesnt change the fact your a douche either
Wiener wrote on Sun, 11 April 2010 15:36 life is a bitch true
Sorry, no harm intended Omar. Search for Omar ibn al-Khattāb . I'll remove it if it insults you...
Wiener wrote on Sun, 11 April 2010 23:21 its an Arabic name so what you expect... If I name myself "Hans" I wouldnt b pissed being called a kraut.... Still doesn't mean it's not racist.
Religion is not related to a "race", so I wouldn't call it racist at all... I had forgotten how sensitive all this was in Holland. Excuse me for that, plz.
It's not. Some people are just whiny douches.
Wiener wrote on Sun, 11 April 2010 16:36 life is a bitch no, its just you being one, dont blame life for your attitude.
We have only 8 signups left, + 1 reserve... I'm not sure that's great news, tbh...
you can add to your roster throughout the tournament, just as long as its not someone who is signed up for another team.
Due to Fp deciding not to participate, I wish to represent the Renegade Forums team, unless you have any objections.
None explicit. We'd love it if you could make this Saturday's lobby war game, see here
As Tiesto said, you can always add more peple as you go. Hopefully you can maybe advertise across all forum section that you need a few more players? Group placement is now taking place and we are considering a number of factors on how to make the draw as fair as possible Please keep an eye on the RGCT2 forums, as the start of tournament announcement will appear in a matter of days. good luck guys!
I'm in.
Tx for signing up for RF, Hypnos and ExEric3!
Reserve please, my schedule is extremely inflexible, so even if i do get to play, i may not be able to play the whole time....It really sucks
cool HaTe, i hope to play you for the actual tourney, you dont need a 'reserve' section. Its just a list of who, at any given point in time are ALLOWED to play for a community if you want to put reserves on your own list, for own purposes go for it Gozy - make sure your guys know about the 'one name rule' im trying to contact all leaders to ensure they know fully. If this rule is broken, tournament admins like yourself will be instructed to !kick if they are around on IRC. If no one !kicks and an illegitimate player plays, then the reuslt may be nullified and player/team either suffers points penalties/disqualification (all matches will be scrutinised afterwards by admins) ty guys!
Our first map will be versus Exodus. You can still sign up if you wish to participate!
Why are you guys so dead-set against Building Bars? They give minimal aide. Hell, irc bots are in the same "cheat/advantage" category when abused by people. Of course my favorite is the server owners have access to the better Building Bars anyway. Get with the times, you guys. Too many players use them for you to be policing it like it's<insert 1999 cliche>.
shaitan wrote on Wed, 05 May 2010 04:25 Too many players use them for you to be policing it like it's<insert 1999 cliche>. The same is true for *cheat name removed*, which is even harder to police.
Yes Goz, its such a pity. During the last com wars, we lost islands twice after losing our ref early on camping arts. The ref changed from "slightly damaged" to "almost dead" within 4 secs but none of us checked it health within those 4 secs. Dammit Goz, If you finally allow those advanced huds, it will be much easier to keep an eye on your and the enemies base!
Is there a date for the match already? I'd like to know before signing up and find out later I'm not able to be there :/
There's a match tomorrow night at 20:30 GMT
Lol ok thanks, I'm not able to play then^^
You know it REALLY helps to put the date and time CLEARLY somewhere. I was so fucking ready for this shit and I missed it because nobody put the time up.
you dont have access to the com match forums?
sadukar09 wrote on Sun, 09 May 2010 22:19 You know it REALLY helps to put the date and time CLEARLY somewhere. I was so fucking ready for this shit and I missed it because nobody put the time up. Yeah... I ended up being late, good thing someone linked me to a thread on here and I ended up seeing I have a PM. I blame daylight savings.
I was late too, but we started late, so it didn't really matter. My lateness was unrelated to the scheduled time though.
It was clearly indicated in the signup topic you replied to: http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=36243&start=0&rid=4 882 (private subforum where you have access to). It wasn't in different timezones, but I assumed everyone could make the conversion. I'm sorry you didn't get to play.

http://img404.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=screenshot10806.png Just a few screenshots of the first game, in slide show form. They go from end to start for the most part...that's just how they uploaded. Quote: Server used - RGCT3 {Os} Defeated Renegade Forums (2-1) Team {Os} won Volcano by Base Destruction. Team Renegade Forums won Field by High Score after Time Limit. Team {Os} won Mesa2 by High Score after Time Limit. Good games to everyone who participated.
I can come so I sign up for RF. Add me to the list and make a witty one-liner description of me, Gozy btw, what's going on today the 22nd? edit: thx Goztow!
A video of one of the games versus NS: http://www.exoduscommunity.com/topic/3328-rf-vs-ns/page__view__findpost__p__3577 9
That video is worth watching if you want to watch yours truly get run over by a harvester.
Seems like we're going through to round 2 .
If you need a player, im down. My current community will have to drop out by the looks of it...
I don't think that is allowed actually. i mean changing community when a community doesn't advance.
Goztow wrote on Thu, 24 June 2010 01:30 I don't think that is allowed actually. i mean changing community when a community doesn't advance. What about if I never played a game for them?
I'll be frank with you: I really don't feel like getting you on our team. It would take a lot more than a topic with good intentions to make me believe you "changed". Ob walking on NS didn't help on that either.
lol i'm in same situation as troop and was wondering if i can sub for RF if need be

Well, it would nice if you can get past the personal fact that I said (as did most of the cw.cc league) your EU servers you provided to spoony were of very poor quality, god knows renforums could use a few decent players and your denying everyone that ability because of a personal dispute 6 months ago? Nice to see renforums hasn't changed after all these years

As soon as Gozy and Spoony (who are the RF team leaders) decide to let players with a reputation like yours play, I will leave the team. We have a good working team atm... regardless any individual skill lvl. trooprm02 wrote on Thu, 24 June 2010 22:04 Nice to see renforums hasn't changed after all these years You're quite wrong. Since certain ppl left/disappeared, RF became a much better place for ren players to stay.
To be fair: I never took offense on that remark on the servers we provided for Spoony. I see no reason why anyway: Spoony was happy, we were happy, the players were happy. We've done a decent job so far with our team and I'm sure we'll survive without you. That being said, I already have half of our active players who told me they don't want you in. Better luck next time. Also, firestorm: you should really check it with the people from exodus.
Spoony was not happy with your EU servers, nor were the players (ex: nunega who lagged in them and hes from the UK). Thats beside the point now, you made it an issue and if people find losing just as fun as winning I guess you guys can forgot about adding any more decent players to your roster, then im just unlucky I guess as both team captains are known to hold grudges.
I still need to see how you "changed" in these 2 years. Seems like the same bullshit as 2 years ago, to me.
Goztow wrote on Fri, 25 June 2010 02:15 Also, firestorm: you should really check it with the people from exodus. well aren't you team captain therefore you decide which players can play or not?
The rules seem to say this: Quote: Once a player PLAYS for a community, he/she cannot play/sign up for another community. So did you play for any other community?
trooprm02 wrote on Thu, 24 June 2010 22:04 god knows renforums could use a few decent players wiener says it's him or you... that's an easy choice for me, believe me. I consider him a better asset to the team than you, and I would have said so even if you hadn't had your ob walk hissy fit the other day. Quote: and your denying everyone that ability because of a personal dispute 6 months ago? we already have decent players. Quote: Spoony was not happy with your EU servers I challenge you to find one quote, just one, from me saying that. otherwise you should publicly admit you're making stuff up. Quote: nor were the players (ex: nunega who lagged in them and hes from the UK) he's also a compulsive liar and an extremely unfair player, but model yourself off of simpee and that's what will happen. Quote: Thats beside the point now, you made it an issue and if people find losing just as fun as winning I guess you guys can forgot about adding any more decent players to your roster Two things. Firstly none of our team mind losing (so long as the game is fair and so long as our team actually makes a decent attempt at it), secondly we actually have won the majority of our community matches so far. Quote: then im just unlucky I guess as both team captains are known to hold grudges. both gozy and myself are certainly reluctant to let in players who -a- can't be at all trusted to play fair and -b- have repulsive personalities. on those grounds, you certainly are unlucky.
Troop, if you obwalked in NS, then we don't want to screw over our team by letting someone in who's shown that they have no regard for the rules.

If you like to pretend that never happened, thats fine too because we all know it did and im not gonna bother finding that specific post.
you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about... again.

I'm with weiner on this one, if he's in, I'm not.
he's not in, neither gozy nor myself want him to be on the renforums team.
Ziggy Sobotka wrote on Fri, 25 June 2010 16:07 HaTe cheats! It's settled then, HaTe is to be banned from every server and community war.
If it wasn't for me constantly saying i cheat, i would probably be banned from several servers already. They never ban people who admit to it
trooprm02 really should be on the renforums team, he's one of the most known people from renforums throw ACK in there too and crimson and blazer and dover and nikki, go troop will just be muted on ts so no one has to hear him!

I'm pretty sure out of all the people mentioned, only one actually plays Renegade, and he recently returned to it.

Nobody even knows who wiener or hate are, but if they feel they are more qualified to play this game competitively than me, add me on MSN and I'll glady prove them wrong. @ontopic, good luck renforums and I can't wait to play against you guys
