I have teamspeak and Skype. Mumble jumble. Hehe. They all seem good to me. I think teamspeak is the easiest for team chat though.

Right, we will go to which ever server works best for the majority.

So I have spoken to several of the regular GU admins, and most of them say they should be available. Therefore, we will have the first match be played on bzbattleground.com:5158 If bzbg server has issues, we will move to gu.bzexcess.com:5157 Hopefully there will be an admin to help keep the match ru...

Yes, the first 2 matches are not vital. However, this allows for all teams to participate at least twice and rematch. Since the teams were formed randomly, its not exactly fair. These elimination matches can help determine which 2 teams are best overall and able to match in the final. Plus, all othe...

I understand, we all want to play all 5 matches and have great fun in a fast reasonable time. Its agonizing to be patient and wait for the final match and a tournament winner to be declared. However, you must understand that this is 4 teams with 16 players total. The doubles were 4 players, announce...

I have posted the teams and informed everyone who is in a team. There will be no longer any regular participant sign ups. However, we still need people to sign up for substitute. If you would like to play temporarily in any match, please sign up. You don't need to commit. Being a sub just means that...

There are plenty of already existing online relay chat channels. You can access it for free online, here: http://webchat.freenode.net/ Type your bzflag username as your nickname, and the channel as #bzflag Here is the wiki page: http://wiki.bzflag.org/BZFlag_on_IRC By the way, this section is for ne...

Yea, I would diffidently use the regular HiX map of the GU servers. The reason I am hesitant to have BZAddict or anything else is because of the location of everyone. Since majority of the players, so far, are in the USA, we need some server in the USA. But there are a few players in Europe, so if w...

jade, how could u not know it was 4 teams until right now. ;P I suggested the tournament thing and ran with it on the 3rd or so reply. I made a flowchart and FAQ on the website that clearly shows 4 teams. You signed up too...... I think 4 teams is still best and unique. It allows all teams to compet...

Ok, so we have now reached 15 players signed up. I have contacted 2 more, and they should be signed up within a few days. This will make it 4 players per team. I have asked a lot of players, and its kinda down the middle, some want small teams ~3 players, others want 6 or 7. I would prefer to choose...

Ok, I added that. How long will the cup last? The cup will last as long as it takes to complete all 5 matches and any needed rematches. If enough players are able to complete the matches within a day, then it will last one day. Matches will be scheduled to be played as soon as possible. Basically if...

Yea, I think its best to stick with the normal HiX map. The other thing I would like to discuss is what about substitutes? Such as people who have connection issues, unable to play for some reason, etc. Teams will need a few players to sit back and wait to play if needed. Will these extra players ju...

Well GU hix is my favorite league/map and I originally intended for another cup with hix. So preferably any official hix map would work.

Another possibility, could be using figurines new map: hixurines. However, it does have some limits...such as 10min matches, 5v5,etc.

So I have a website started: gusillycup.tk

Right now I am calling it the Silly Cup, but that can be changed easily.

Please suggest and comment.

Good ideas. I think I will go ahead and make a website. Not sure how to host one...so I'll just use one of those popular freebie :) Having players register would be very easy and efficient. And I think when it comes to picking teams...we can either 1) have a draft, 1 player chosen at a time kinda de...

What do you mean by a path? You said you cannot find one efficient. So, what is it that you are visioning and why won't that work? You are acting like there needs to be a step by step manual and huge process for this to be done. It requires a bit of organization and a few more details, but its not l...

Did not mean to turn offensive to Sub. But you are only giving criticism....give me CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. WHY won't it work out.


What do the gu admins think about this idea? Constitution, you didn't really say if you liked it or not.

Furthermore, I believe I've already shared all there is to share. Yes, I agree and support your idea , but that's as far as it goes. Anything beyond that is not worth reaching, IMHO. That is being naive and stubborn. To just individually say thats the end of it. Thats like going to a Court saying t...

Why would you just end it? We have only discussed an IDEA. Just quickly ending, being stubborn to debate/suggest/comment and ending up "supporting my idea" isn't helping anything, Sub. When I mention this idea to players on GU, plenty of them say they love it. In fact, Kierra and Kess, imm...

Well I guess the original idea of NOOB cup is kinda not an option. I mean, since we can't have matches and have the loser be the winner, and we can't pick and choose the worst players. But still, the Riker cup, is very selective and not many people get in. Especially with only 2 teams, NA and Euro, ...

You're right sub, and as I was writing this topic, I realized why this was probably not a popular consideration. It is very subjective...but then again, isn't the most experienced/ skilled players also very subjective? What about having a tournament? Such as appointing 4 captains and having them sel...

Has anyone thought about making a riker cup....for new players? Instead of bringing together the most skilled players of North America and Europe, bring together the least skilled and/or new players of GU. And since we may not be able to find enough players who fit the requirements in only NA and Eu...

btw I also realized that this configuration line also changed the color of the base on the radar. Again, the call signs in chat and on the scoreboard remain the same default colors. Where are those colors coming from? Is it just within the code or is there a type of blue its getting it from?

So I changed the colors on the radar in the config file, but I noticed that the callsign/username colors did not change. Your current username that is displayed in the top left corner DOES MATCH the radar colors, but the names in the scoreboard or in chat DOES NOT change. So I was wondering if it wa...

I think this is where to post... So for some reason, I actually decided to read the main website at bzflag.org and found a few grammar errors in the text. :D Found a bug, a missing feature, or just something you thing should be improved? And I also think something could be improved by these sentence...
