ATT: Helix

[Mielie]

I thought i read something about you guys being keen on a onslaught clan match. If that's still so, then lets start organising.

Date: Earliest end of next week. Not Friday or sat nights. And ye, evening games.
Maps & Rules: Erm...ironic? :) Meaning, we have no clue. Lets say best of 3, 5v5? Our map pick will follow as soon as I ask someone who knows something about ONS.

Oh and thanks for the guide, will make sure i read it before we play. :)

Excellent news! I was beginning to think you guys had forgotten about this. :)

My initial suggestions were as follows:

Timelimit: 10 minutes
Core drain: Fast
Weaponstay: On
Scorelimit: 3

The above settings should ensure that rounds don't take hours to complete. Strictly speaking international standards dictate a scorelimit of 1 (with 2 rounds played, map restarted after round 1), so let me know if you guys are more keen on this approach. Weaponstay cannot be off AFAIK (it would suck 'nads anyway). Fast core drain is something in the region of 50 (takes about 1 minute for a 100-health core to drain to zero).

For maps I recommend symmetrical ones like Torlan, Frostbite, Primeval and Dawn. Best of 3 sounds good to me.

[Mielie]

Okay, so how many rounds of scorelimit 3 per map are you suggesting? In any case, I'm not too familiar with onslaught and its rules, so I will leave that up to you. Any dates/times Helix prefer?
As a provisional date (still need to confirm this with the team): Thursday 25 May starting around 20:00-21:00.
Maps I still need to discuss with the rest of 42.

lol i would like to see xan trying to kill the enemy core with only his shieldgun on a weapons stay off match...that should make for hrs of entertainment

[Lord_Xan]

Okay, so how many rounds of scorelimit 3 per map are you suggesting?

The rounds are determined automatically by the scorelimit. A scorelimit of 3 translates to 3 rounds minimum and 5 rounds maximum.

Now that I think about it, it'll probably work for the best if we play with international scoring rules. That means two rounds per map (sides swap after 1st), both with a scorelimit of 1.


Thursday 25 May starting around 20:00-21:00

Thursdays are bad for me - can we make it Wednesday 24 May? 20:00 to 21:00 is perfect.

[Mielie]

International scoring rules sound good (3-5 rounds on one map seem like a bit much). One last thing I need clarification on: what happens if both teams win one round on each map? (International rules)

Concerning the date: Can’t make the 24th, so I suggest: Wednesday 31st May 20:00 - 21:00.

Maps: Torlan + whatever you guys choose.

[Lord_Xan]

what happens if both teams win one round on each map? (International rules)

Provided each team got their wins in the same way (ie overtime/non-overtime), it would be a draw. Otherwise total score can be used to declare a winner.

Date and time sounds good. I'll get back to you on the remaining two maps. (Frostbite will probably be one.)

[Mielie]

One of our guys have a problem with the date, so I need to know what other days in that week will suite Helix, ie Monday or Tuesday?

[Lord_Xan]

Either one should be good. Personally I would take a Monday.

[Mielie]

Monday 29th May 20:00 it is then.

[Lord_Xan]

I'll get back to you on the remaining two maps.

Other two maps will be Frostbite and Dawn. I hope it's ok if we leave superweapons on? Strictly speaking (ie international rules) they should be off, but I don't think they upset map balance too much and it can make for some exciting turn-arounds.

If Cat or another Helix admin reads this, please confirm your availability for the 29th!

[Mielie]

Superweapons on is fine.

[Cataphract]

What is happening / has happened???

[Lord_Xan]

What is happening / has happened???

Monday night was cancelled and Thursday (tomorrow) night was suggested as a replacement. I can't do Thursday nights though, so I'm not sure what's going to happen. :(

[sneaky]

Next Monday?

[Mielie]

Sorry guys its not my fault, i swear! All hells breaking lose in the 42 camp, i dont know if we will ever be able to organise anything ever again. I blame everyone else.

Anyway, yeah, this Monday (5 June) sounds good. Is it cool with Helix?

[Lord_Xan]

That should be cool, Mielie. :)

[Cataphract]

Ok, who from helix wants to play tonight at 20:00? (Scrye says 20:00)

1.) Lord Xan;
2.) Cataphract;
3.) Sneaky;

[Lord_Xan]

Gunny (4) has been in from the start. TP (5) also wants in - someone must just SMS or phone him before we start.
