So far, this forum only had one small competition for reviews and that was it. I figured we should wait until the forum ages a bit before hosting a major contest and I thought now would be a good time, so for the last 2 weeks I have been putting together a major forum contest. The contest is one day only and will take place sometime next month. The day will be full of big events which will be talked about later, but for now I wanted to discuss one of the events which may be a tf2 contest.


Would a short tf2 contest be a good idea for this day? What are some suggestions on how to organize the contest? Right now I expect that I will need about 1 or 2 helpers to operate the tournament and to set it up and keep track and I think there might be a top prize of 10000 Viz.

vanelan : Do you have any suggestions? Is the server still up, and do you think you can be a part of the tourney?

Here are some random summons.

Honestly, I am not real big on TF2. I would probably be more supportive of some XBOX 360 games honestly. Maybe, if I had a laptop that wasn't a piece of crap, I would be more open to TF2 and I would try it more. But if you want something computer based... I'd more than down for Mario Kart 64.

bobq : you here that? I am coming for you

I'm not opposed to the idea of a TF2 tourney, but I couldn't compete. My mother has a thing against shooters, and I definitely couldn't do it when my bro was around (which is most of the time).

An idea is to maybe do a Castle Crashers or Battleblock Theater themed tourney or co-op. I feel that a lot of people would have those games, since they went for dirt cheap during the Summer Sale. However, I realize that you don't have those games. I think sonic has a spare copy of Castle Crashers, though.

Does anyone else here have one or both of those games? I'm just putting the idea out there for now, wanna see what you guys think first and what Zander thinks.

I'll be honest I've played tf2 for probably 2 hours tops and then i still was messing around with friends. It's a good idea personally and I'd be up for it just for the sake of having a laugh

As for ideas,

Mario Kart 64: Is more laggy than pretty much any pc game on steam i can think of, if you pick to do this i cannot play simple as that.. The joys of being from Europe, plus it's the steam forum..

Castle Crashers: I do have 3 copies of the game to sell, but i won't  give them out for free.. No offence but i rarely buy games for my friends I've known for years, never mind people that i barely know...

Battleblock Theater: the only thing i know is that i got "scuba steve" in the steam summer sale badges 5/10... I already dislike "steve" because of this

sonicmcmuffin : And what's wrong with the STeam forum???

supernerd117 : I guess we can figure something else out.

zanderlex : I literally facepalmed... This is the steam forum... So why would we be setting up a  competition for a Nintendo 64 game..

sonicmcmuffin : I'm sorry, but I can't follow this conversation in the slightest. I have no idea what's going on anymore.

thing1 :
This is a STEAM forum...last time I checked, Mario Kart 64 is not on steam.

Don't post non-steam related things in here.

sonicmcmuffic:
Thanks for noticing that.


zanderlex :
I'm not exactly sure what we can do for a tournament. Maybe if we find some interesting competitive type mods, we can use those.
I am more than willing to host. My server is still up and I try to keep it updated.

vanelan : Cool. Thanks. I plan on having the entire fun day on a Saturday and I want it to be maybe during the first half of August so I guess there time to plan.

zanderlex : Thing1 said we should play MK64 as a game without realizing it was the steam forum. So Sonic said it was the steam forum and we can't play MK64 plus its laggy for him.

mourinhosgum : Yup. Lot's of confusin so far. WHat are your suggestions? Though remember, even if the contests fail, the day itself will still be huge.

zanderlex : Let me know what you decide.

vanelan : Oh. I just noticed that... I apologize for that. I thought this was the RGR Competition ( that was the name of it... I had forgotten it ) Forum. I looked for a few threads to post in without looking at the forum name, and they seemed similar to the RGR Competition Forum threads before I was gone. Sorry about that.

I have my "posting constipation" down a little, so I shouldn't make any more mistakes like that.

Well, in a drastic turn of events, this, and the entire forum competition is being cancelled. Sorry.
