Official Pickup Night and Rotating Server

Greetings,

Seen postings of the once attended friday night fights or whatever it was called before and how there is some interest again. Can we please do this? This can be posted on the preceeding Monday..some specific thoughts:
  • The official servers used should be rotated to provide exposure as many types of servers as possible
  • Themes should be used to keep things fresh - ie A/D night, new map night etc
  • Map suggestions/voting can happen during the week to reflect what people want
  • Someone can cross post the link on other applicable forums (cats, frenchys, hl2.net etc - I'd be happy to do that every week)
So the question is can we do this and can we get a mod to make this a sticky? First we would need a time that works for all as much as possible and decide whose server is the first. Overall we need buy in - #FF pickup becomes this decided server for this night.

Ihmhi has some shit in the works already Puppychow so PM him and tell him your interests what your willing to do and not do. IE give admin to the appointed forum moderator for the fun night it would be held on your server. There's a lot more detail but the weekday fight night thing is/was Ihmhi Idea so you should correspond with him.

Yeah, I'm working on this puppychow, don't worry. We're going to get a barebones program up and working within a few days at most first and foremost. I need to get more hands on deck for staff, but once we have a full compliment things will get rolling.

I love this idea. I just want to play avd maps with people who actually know what they are doing. I think the game is the most fun when played that way.

Maybe it could extend to more nights a week for pubtype gatherings if it works?

Wasn't the difference between Friday Night Fights and regular pickups that the former wasn't under clanstyle rules?

What are clanstyle rules for AvD? I haven't heard of any.

The rules that were running in the Skirmish TFC AvD league, if I recall correctly, were:
- Class Limits: 3 Engineers, 2 HWGuys, 2 Demomen, 3 Spies and 5 Soldiers. All other classes have no limit, nor are not allowed to play.
- Not allowed to enter enemy spawn.

And I don't remember anything else, other than have fun. Class limits are there to avoid total Engineer Defense, or total Heavy Defense mainly. Spies are restricted because it would be too easy to get through enemy lines with 8 Spies in the team, allowing for continuous Flag touching, I guess.

Also, if there are any other rules, I don't think that are that important.

The only problem with this is that organized play and pubbing dont usually mix..Im not bashing pub servers. Im just saying in a pub, everybody is doing their own thing. Its fun but it may or may not include what the team goal is. I think that to build the game and mod, we might, as clanners have to forgo our notions of what the mod should be played like for a while until we have the player base to decide, "allright,you guys play that if you want,we're going over here..". Really, at this point, its all about player presence or the lack thereof. Who's willing to suck it up in order to grow the mod?? What that means basically is saying, "Ok, i dont really care for this style of gaming, but im willing to do it so that the mod grows and we develop a player base".
