Nexuiz Ninjaz - Practicing the Ninja Art of Nexuiz

As a split off from this thread where Shaggy suggests a round-robin approach to clan competition... http://www.nexuizninjaz.com/forum/showth...hp?tid=349


I thought it would be good to have some smaller goals to getting clan activity underway. I think the "Clan vs The World" pickup games would make a lot of sense. The idea behind this is basically where a server pops up on the public server list that says something like "Clan Match: Militia vs World" or something to that effect. Then Militia fills up the Blue team and waits for people to fill up the red team. Of course, this will have mixed results and I'm certain that there will be some people who drop off from the red team and someone will have to immediately jump in to fill up the spot. That will be expected. Another difficulty will be the pressing of F4 to begin a match. that will be VERY difficult to relay to people who are not familiar with the concept.

Aside from those two issues, I think it could be a good way to get some clan activity going and also allow the general Nexuiz community to be more familiar with the active clans (and see that there is actually clan activity of some kind going on). This would prove a clan's ability to assemble their team for a match, but if the match falls through then nobody gets disappointed.

Ok, what I'm considering doing is setting up the BC30 as an official clan server where the clan leaders have access to it. I'll post a separate thread on this idea.

Very nice idea here. I personally agree with this concept to encourage activity from clans. What I think would work is that remove the tourney mod so that you won't have to yell at guys to press F4? What could be done is that if the red team are only 4 players, then the clan's blue activate 4 players to play against them. 2v2, 3v3 and so on..

I'm not sure how difficult it would be to stop the others joining blue to wind the clan's up, so need to "lock" the blue team so that it's clan's only and they only can be in red to play the game. Also without F4, means can play as frequent as they like, with the same scoring systems?

I'll give it a shot.

Ok, I think there are options in the tourney mod.

I can disable the F4 to begin and set the warmup time to like 8 minutes or something. If not enough people join, then simply do a vcall restart, or continue playing until someone fills the spot. It's just a pickup match, after all.

Ok. So when are we going to do it?

The time above is good for the whole clan (That's active). If this time is ok, I'll email the GT clan and let them know what's happening.

But a week later....


THIS IS THE REAL TIME:

This is a good idea.

I really like this idea. One thing that clans could do is have the clan locked on one team and use it as a recruiting match to help find new members. Have the server titled something like "MiT Vs. All - Recruiting Match". What do you guys think?

Slash, that's a great idea.

cool - i'm in for the world team :>

That's a very good idea, slash. It would give the clan's awareness on who would be interested in joining the clan..

I really do hope this works. Any idea when's the first game going to happen?
