So what about GET RECT !?

(chicHouse) #1

No, Im not crazy and I dont believe game is diying or dead. There are still 3000+ active players every day. So why not to start some public frag fest? So I have an idea. Lets call it, Get rect! :smile:

For now, its under construction. I am posting this thread to general discussion, because this post is not about to join this, but to ask you for your help with this. I would like to give this fest for public clans, they are not pro, I mean, even low end level players need to win sometimes.

-servers? Do we need pass protected servers for this? Who should I ask?
-prize? Good feeling from winning should be enought, but … who shall I ask for sponsorship?
-promo? Since there are no private servers its hard to propagate this events, most players dont even visit public forums. Any good marketing tips and ideas?

I made this, rules are from previous DB frag fests with little changes

  • phoenix, sparks - ban them?
  • merc limit - only 1 nader, fragger or rhino?

thank you for your help!

I’ve never actually participated in these kind of things before. I should really try sometime.

As far as servers go or potential sponsorship I would message the community manager @MissMurder

For your limited warning, October 10th is coming up awfully fast. Maybe schedule them farther out next time?

Also, Phoenix isn’t that new anymore :slight_smile: He has been out for about 3 weeks now. It will be 5 weeks by the time your tournament starts.

If you ban Proxy, I’m in.

may I ask why? proxy is great.

This looks interesting. Wish you good luck with this!

Why ban Phoenix and Sparks?

(chicHouse) #9

That is why Im asking for help.
I think phoenix with sparx are ultimate duo… But I dont mind if all mercs will be allowed without limits. I just saw some pro threads and discussions to not allow sparks in competetive… so now im not sure.

Because this merc is a monkey with a gun and mines you can’t counter in most cases.

My theory - and this is purely out of my head - as to why Sparks is under the topic of ban is probably because of the REVIVR. It’s got both the ranged revive aswell as being a powerful weapon if used right, so I guess that the fact that she can almost work like a sniper medic with high speed might be seen as a bit too powerful in the comp scene.

That’s -purely- my guess though and I could be ENTIRELY wrong about it : P

I agree. Why to limit mercenaries? Or why only 2 fraggers?
No limits then. I changed rules. No merc limits at all.

Ohh, and what about vac banned players? In general, how pro community deal with them? Are they free to go to any match? I mean, I dont have good feelings when I discover someone was vac banned be4…

@Jaeger Sparks was banned due to numerous bugs, not because her ability was strong. She was unbanned after quite a bit of bug squashing for her mechanics. (She used to finish downed teammated with a headshot from the revivr and only bodyshots would revive…)

No mercs are banned under normal competition rules. However, there is a one merc limit in place to promote variety and keep teams from stacking (back in the day you used to see two Sawbonez with two Fraggers and one fire support or engineer depending on the need). Dirty Cups was using these rules before they closed shop and DB Nation’s cups use the same rules.

Sparks was only banned a while back due to a couple of bugs but she is no longer banned. There is on reason to ban Phoenix or any other merc. They were all used in the last DB Nation cup.

Ah, alright. Well that’s a good thing though that the bans are only in regard of bugs and not merc ability or power, atleast in my opinion ^^

If you wanna have a fair “tournament”, you have to make merc limits. You just simple have to.
Also there are thousands of thousands of players who were VAC banned by just having certain games. coughModern Warfare 2cough
