You've reached Besmella-Quake. We might not be the best resource any more, but we sure as fuck like Quake more than anyone else. Oh, did we mention we've been around for nine years? Yeah, that's right.
Anyone keen on getting some FFA going at nights? If we make one or two nights a week "Quake Night" maybe we can get the remaining players these days to come together rather than rocking up at servers randomly?
It's not a huge commitment and if people know for example on a particular day and time that there'll be people looking for a game it might revive things a little.
Thoughts?
E.g. Monday Night Fights @ 9:30pm
:P
Nice idea, but I think I speak for most when I say Team deathmatch is the preferred mode. In my experience it's easy enough to get a decent number for FFA just by spamming MSN. I and I dare say most of the negligentia would be more interested in organised 4on4 teams, and maybe 2on2... Good lluck though
FFA is great because other maps are played, which is always more interesting. But 2on2 and duels are probably a bit more fun than FFA.
Sounds like a plan, how can we structure meets for 2v2, 3v3, 4v4? Like, is there a server people commonly meet on these days?
Say we make it monday nights 9:30pm, which server do you go to and who would have ability to make the server go into TDM mode?
Alternatively can we meet in a FFA map and then when numbers are enough we go from there?
I'm keen! FFA or TDM - anything with some regularity will be good.
I'm also intending on proposing a monthly CTF gathering at some stage..but I'm not sure what kind of take up CTF will gather.
Spawn, since the in game server browser in ezQuake it's really easy to find people for a 2on2 fairly quickly, and these days the servers cater to all modes, just use the commands /1on1, /2on2, etc, /ffa etc.
I find it's really easy to get a big FFA going just by spamming people on msn, but between 6pm and 12pm you won't have any trouble getting an random pickup 2on2, 3on3 etc.
With MSN use being fairly ubiquitous this seems like the easiest option to assist random pickup, I've been gathering quaker's msn contacts for a while now, and I'll ask their permission to share them with eachother.
We're approaching the natural waning of activity over the summer, but I think my planned 2on2 comp should be successful.
