At 16 players I'll put a poll for map selection...

Modified player configs are allowed....

So...

With the "other" scrimmage falling through due to "a failure to communicate", how would you guys feel about an
|ax|Civil War on May 14th instead?

We could sign up as many players as want to play and scimmage red team vs the blue team. We can keep it open to anyone who has played more than 20 rounds...so ax family and our other non ax regulars.

My first thoughts would be:
Play around 8pm eastern
Teams made up according to your player kill ratio.
3 maps - 2 custom, 1 stock..each team plays as Axis then Allies. Tie break on Matmata is its a tie
Standard Capture the flag with 15 minute time limits. Total run time 1.5 hours +/-

What do you guys think?

I can set it up if there is enough interest

Hmmnnnn ............ 27 reads and no posts.

I'm in.

Weren't we all going to play a match that night anyway? So why not 'up' the competition a little bit and play against each other.

Or, Rhino, if there was enough interest we could play it 'pressure cooker' style.

Anybody out there?

[c2thet Profile YIM]

I'll play.

[ChicagoAlive Profile Website]

I'm here spawn!
I'm in. This should be awesome! Maybe we should make a sign up, @axtournaments.com? Just to get a better idea of interest. We'll mention to people in the forums and in-game to go sign up!

Really exited, good idea!

GREAT Practice, and a lot of fun!

[c2thet Profile YIM]

Why can't we sign up here. If people have to go to a site to sign up, I would prefer it to be our forums.

[ChicagoAlive Profile Website]

That's fine too CT...We just need a tentative list of WHO so we can set up the teams accordingly.

[NIGHTMARE Profile]

I'm in.

Sounds kinda like the scrimmage ax had when it was the old against the young.

But i am definitely in on this.

[Rhino]

Why can't we sign up here. If people have to go to a site to sign up, I would prefer it to be our forums.

It would be nice to sign up here but I dont think the ax website has the tools to really register people.

How about the best of both worlds...we list the signups here and put a link in this thread to a registration form?

Just your player name and email addy...

[ChicagoAlive Profile Website]

.....Uhmm.....

Young Vs. Old?

LOL WTF was I?

[Rhino]

Dont worry Chicago...I wasnt involved in ax then either.. I think I was still in grade school when that went down...

Whats kinda sad is that the comminity as whole seems pretty stagnant. YEah we have our regulars that come to the server and play each day but they aren't really interested in the community per say. They like the server and thats about it.

There isnt a lot of support or enthusiasm for doing these sorts of tournaments.. The core group of us have been trying to build the appeal ..having tournaments..wanting scrimmages, trying to invite others to play us....etc.

That said..its great that the COD2 server is the most used as far as I can tell.

Still we keep on trying...

I guess we are just late to the game, so to speak, now that its 6 years old.

If i am home I will play most likely

[Rhino]

Add your player name to this thread and indicate if your "in for sure" or "might be in"

I'll update the list at the top of this thread every other day.

Is there a 'Black Powder Muzzle Loader' mod?

[Rhino]

I'll get Gitman right on it......30 seconds between shots.....http://mamaflinter.tripod.com/id3.htmlmaybe we could slow Dirka down that way...but we would need a bayonet too...and a saber.

Next questions..

First: How should we do maps....play the same ones we play every day or lean towards some customs? If we do stock maps you know your going to end up with toujane and/or matamata.

My vote would be for 2 custom maps and 1 stock as the third map with a 4th map, one round for a tie breaker.

Second: AX Mod or Extreme Mod (with all the junk turned off ie tripwires, landmines, ranking system, napalm, flamethrowers, panzerschrecks, random artillery, quake style voices etc.)

-With the AX mod you have the advantage of knowing how it looks and feels because we play it every day.

-With the Extreme mod you have the advantage of round based play (automatically switching sides between rounds) and the ready up system which holds the game until all the players are ready to go.

I'll play if i'm home.

(er ........ uhm ........ unless you're on my team!)

Oooh ....... a bayonet, and sabers instead of pistols!
As 'Picard' would say; "Make it so".

As for next question:

Hhmmnn. We all like to play what we are comfortable with. Throwing the Extreme Mod into the mix would change things up a little, give us something different for a change. I think I'm leaning a little more to the 'something different'. (I'll go with the group mentality on this one tho.)

I would love to be able to play Spawn.

when my season starts i'm on the ocean every chance i get.

It's what floats my boat, so to speak

Oh yeah !

you too !

[Abe1 Profile]

Calling this scrimmage a civil war sounds a bit irrational. Are you wanting players who dislike each other to be on separate teams and let this turn out to be a grudge match? I don't see dirka's name on there. Unless he signs up, I'm not showing up.

I envy you, my friend.

[Eclipse Profile]

Even though I haven't played in 4+ months, I want in on this. My semester/exams are over soon which means I'll be back to fragging and I need some target practice.

[SpawnAlot Profile]

and I need some target practice.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, how soon they forget.

If you are on the other team ....... trust me, Mr. "King of the Hill", you will still be wearing that big target.

[PatcheZ Profile]

i should be in to unless unforeseen circumstances should arise.
ps, i don't discriminate like spawn... i kill everyone (even teammates and myself on occasion)

[YOYO Profile]

IM IN !

[Eclipse Profile]

i don't discriminate like spawn... i kill everyone (even teammates and myself on occasion)

Don't worry, spawn will be my first target.

But in all seriousness, I think once this is done with, we need to hold a new tournament. Everyone vs. spawn, whoever kills him the most wins. Sounds fun to me!

Put me down for a MAYBE!
