Nreality Teams Arena [Results posted]

count me in. I hope it will be a great thing.

Do we still need advertisement? I don't think so. (Plus I'm so lazy, I don't want to make a link map for this contest.) ;)

No this isn't useful anymore ;)

[Avatar_Fanatic]

I'm down. Sign me up! But I've never been able to highscore maps in nReality...which is weird. I'll figure it out, though.

[NachoCheese]

I will take the ring to Mordor.
( I'm in. )

In regards to the map, the reason the mod was actually created is so I didn't need a foreground image, because I can never find anyone to help me. :P

And in regards to text drones, it's complicated, one of the reasons why it's taken me a while to get back to you. Do you know standard triggers? Hit me up on NUMA.

Perhaps some kind of qualifying round? or fair selection system? i.e. a secret ballot where each team leader ranks the players/mappers they want from 1 - 16 (whatever the last player is) Just an idea :D

[fawk]

Eeek, that sounds complicated. I'm all for randomisation.

I like the idea but it's quite complicated to organize (how chose the teams leadesr? Random?) and not very fair for the last player...
Otherwise I can simply turn myself into a judge. So there will be 3 judges, 15 players and 5 teams. But maybe somebody else want to be a judge instead of a player? I really want to take part to my own contest but if there's no other solution I'll do it.
Another solution is to make 4 teams of 4 players. But 4 players is maybe too much...
Anyways I find your idea very nice but very unfair for the last player. Maybe we could do that if I or another player become judge.

[999_Springs]

Mmmmmm. Sign me up, if it's not too late. Personally I think 4 teams with 4 in each is better than 5 teams with 3 in each because it reduces the chance element, but that's just my instinct.

[The Black Lion]

Oh, I just realize we were already 15... Ska why have you said we were 16 it totally disturbed me!
So I've put a new poll, please answer, it only take 2 seconds.
If the players prefer to play in team of 4, you're welcome 999_Springs. If not you will simply have to wait for the second round 2 weeks later... I'm really sorry for that but understand me, I launched this contest 1 month ago and there was always too few people and then too many people and then too few... And five teams is already quite a lot.

The contest will start once enough people have answered to the poll!

EDIT: I can't put a poll because it bugs completly, so please take the time to writte a little message with your opinion.

[fawk]

I see no poll here! But I vote for 4 teams of 4.

[chocollama]

I'm down for whatev's, just make sure you make a good decision guys.

How is it unfair for the last player? You do realise it's a 'secret' ballot, and the teams positions would be randomized so nobody would have to know except the host.

Sorry, I was thinking that with your system you will eliminate directly the last player because he's not wanted by the teams leaders. And I though that because I was persuaded that we were 16 and that we have to eliminate somebody so it was perfect for 5 teams of 3 players.
But now we are 16 and people seems to prefer teams of 4 so it's ok.
Could you just explain your idea in more detail because I'm not sure to understand it perfectly...

[ska]

It's quite simple really.. each player nominates their preferred players (perhaps a shortlist, and they can say for example 5 votes: Trib4lmaniac, 4 votes: clux, 3 votes: astheoceansblue, 2 votes: Zorn, 1 vote: Sammage)
you could make the nomination list as long as you want, then whichever team has the most votes for a certain player, they can get that player, or you could do the old each person chooses someone, then it goes around (like at school when you picked teams, only nobody knows who you pick until the end and you don't know the order.) or you could devise your own idea. :P just churning the old grey matter!

[da_guru]

Don't make things so complicated, before the contest has even started.
Make one name card per participant, mix them, close your eyes and draw 4 times 4 cards and done. RANDOMIZE!!!

[Sunset]

Teams of 3; easier to maneuver the map around each individual.

[The Black Lion]

Hum ska... I like your idea but it seems a little too complicated for a first round. Let's make the thing simple the first time, then we'll see if we can improve the rules ;)

So I found a very useful tool on the internet for making teams at random! I guess it's more convenient that the old paper version :)
See by yourself:



I hope everybody likes his team!
And yeah, I've finally chosen 4 teams of 4 players. So everybody can play the first round and the teams have more chance to be fair. I will also let 10 days instead of 7 for making the map. But if this is still too difficult to handle we can change for the possible next round.

Now everything seems to be in order to let's begin the contest :)
I hope you will all enjoy this and I recommend to everybody to re-read the first post!

Woot, Team 1! How should we organise this collab then? IRC Channel?

Most probably. Where are you guys from and what's your time zone? I'm from Slovakia and currently GMT+2, but next days I might not have much time.
But I'm fine with just playtesting, so feel free to map without me, or something..

[fawk]

I'm GMT, UK, so that's an okay match at least. How about the other two?

[deep_blue]

weeee, cool team. how should we communicate inbetween? :D

[The Black Lion]

You can use IRC, but I recommend you to see that with the member of your team ;) You can contact them on Numa or send them a private message on the forum.

[chocollama]

TEAM 1

Just so guys know, I really don't IRC... ever.... :/

[fawk]

Okay. Mass Private message it is.
