TF2 Throwdown between Quarter To Three and GWJ *sign up*

CEO
Elysium's picture

So, here's how this is going to work. As you'll hear on this week's podcast, we are accepting the challenge from the Qt3 crowd for a TF2 match. I'd like to shoot for a day to be determined at the end of August (I'm think Friday night August 29th, but that could changed), but we'll get to that in good time.

For right now, here's how we're going to put the GWJ team together. I will be playing, as will Rob representing the podcast. Rabbit may also play. That will leave need for nine players and a number of alternates. I haven't played on Stan's in months, or anywhere else for that matter, so I will be randomly choosing eight or nine players and four alternates from the entries. This thread will be open for a week or until it seems we've got a substantial collection of names, and then once I lock the thread I will put the names in a hat and pull at random the players next weekend.

So, what I need is for people to post ONLY if they are interested in participating. This is not a discussion thread, and I'll likely delete any posts that are more than a word or two long.

Rules for applying:

1) You already own the PC version of TF2 and understand how to play the game. (you don't have to be great, but you at least have to be familiar with the game)
2) You understand that this is for fun, and while we'd love to win there will be no blaming one another, barking orders, getting your undies in a bunch because no one is listening to your perfect strategy, etc.
3) You _think_ you can be available on or around August 29th.
4) You've been a member of GWJ for at least one month.
5) You have never been banned from the GWJ TF2 server, Stan's

Ok, so who wants to carry the GWJ Nation TF2 banner to victory again? Remember, winning on technicalities still counts in the W column!

I won't sign up, because I haven't played the game in a while, but I want to be the first to say "give 'em hell!" In a friendly way of course.

I object to the fact that we are not stacking the deck with ringers. What's this "rabbit may play" and "random draw" stuff? My mere presence on the list ensures our team will be doomed to ridicule!

Ah well, I guess it's only a "game." Hey, since it's just casual-like, can I be in charge of the random draw? I promise I will be completely impartial and will in no way cherry pick. I have this great random number generator in my head that works flawlessly when I read down a list and put checkmarks next to names.

On a completely unrelated note: anyone remember the GWJ forum names for the guys from Control Point? Not that I'd be dropping them notes to sign up or anything.

That would be wrong.

Rabbit will be in charge of picking, so with him on board that will mean 8 players and 4 alternates will be chosen.

I don't think I'm nearly good enough to play, which begs the question: Will there be any spectator slots open?

I don't think there will be any slots open for that, but there is a program to setup on the server that allows you to watch without taking up a slot. Maybe that'd work?

Did stan get sourceTV set up again? I'd be willing to be in as an alternate, but with only 8, you don't need 3 pyros. (which is the only class I can make a dent in so far.)

Either way, give 'em hell.
