CTF Knockout on JumpingTowers, Sept. 18th

VBD950 · Post by **VBD950** » Sun Sep 05, 2004 8:32 pm

At 11:00 PM, GMT, Saturday sept. 18th, JumpingTowers will be hosting a 4 team CTF Knockout. In other words, once a teams flag has been captured 10 times, it is out. Last team standing wins. There is a max of four players per team (including rogue), so sign up here. I will be taking up one spot on the rogue team. Also, if you have any ideas for the knockout (rules, modifications), post them here for me.

What's the lag limit going to be? I'll play, but I usually get about 300 ms lag, so it depends.

The lag limit will be 370. Anything above that just becomes unplayable. Hopefully you can be in.

Sure, that sounds swell. I bet I could probably keep it under 370 for a very long time. Now the hard part: remembering

What team?

The Purple Panzer · Post by **The Purple Panzer** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 1:49 pm

I'd like to play, on the Purple team of course.
I'd appreciate it if you send a reminder; I'll put it on my electronic calendar, but I use Eastern Standard Time, and I don't recall offhand when we go off Daylight Savings Time.

Sign me up, Scotty. I'll take blue. Now the tricky part is remembering to show up.

"The Gods" has taken Green (he doesn't have a forum account).

uh about the rogue, how can you beat them? they dont have a flag to capture? kill them 20 times?

VBD950 · Post by **VBD950** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 5:16 pm

They don't win or loose. They are just there to disrupt things. Maybe we should have a rule that they are not allowed in the "Castles".

Hey, what prevents the rogues from picking sides in a match? Like, following red players around everywhere and making it impossible for them to capture, or giving green an escort?

VBD950 · Post by **VBD950** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 7:25 pm

Good point. I'll be there through the match. How about, if a rogue is consistantly picking on a team, i'll warn the rogue, and then kick him if he continues.

how bout no rogue? its more fun with colors anyway

VBD950 · Post by **VBD950** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 2:36 am

I'll ask a few of my friends what they think too. BTW, anymore people? I'm going for atleast 2 people per team.

can i play as rogue? ;)

i promise i'll be an impartial teamflag saver and won't shoot anyone ;)

nurdc0re · Post by **nurdc0re** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 7:18 pm

I think I might be able to play, but wouldn't converting times mean that it would be 6PM EST? I'm not too good at converting....

So long as the mach doesn't take five hours, I'll take green. I also don't think I've played on that server, I'll check it out.

Workaphobia · Post by **Workaphobia** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 7:47 pm

Woah, 11 GMP? Glad someone caught that, I would've missed it for sure. Let's see, that's like 6 EST, unless day light savings time messes that up, and I don't know if we're on that or not.

VBD950 · Post by **VBD950** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 8:05 pm

I'm Eastern Standard Time, and it should be 6. If Daylight savings time messes that up, can someone tell me?

Might want to try this time zone converter. Just make sure to uncheck the "Use Current Time/Date". It can even determine if DST is in effect.

It gave me this:

23:00:00 Sat Sep 18 2004 in GMT converts to
19:00:00 Sat Sep 18 2004 in America/New_York

DST* is not in effect on this date/time in GMT
DST* is in effect on this date/time in America/New_York

Which I guess means 7pm for me....
