First North American 3v3CTF Ladder to begin (NexuizNews) - http://www.nexuiznews.com/category/announcements/first-north-american-3v3ctf-ladder-begin

[20:44]

tinason, I'll explain my gameplan a bit

[20:44]

Oh yay gj nexrss! :D

[20:45]

tinason, I did a lot last year to start up some activity for the north american nexuiz scene. How I did that mainly was to push communication a whole lot

[20:46]

I was constantly talking to people about ideas, and getting various people on the same page

[20:46]

ok

[20:46]

I also motivated people, built up interest in events, projects, ideas

[20:46]

I talked some people into forming clans

[20:46]

that previous weren't interested in clans

[20:46]

looks at Hew

[20:46]

ok

[20:47]

and kept pushing people to train and recruit

[20:47]

i think train/recruit are powerful

[20:47]

thinking of whatever I could that would help build up a community

[20:47]

they have a direct impact on the player's enjoyment of th egame

[20:47]

good stuff ther

[20:47]

so this year, I'm starting this NCT group so I can delegate a lot of this

[20:48]

we are trying to rebuild/recover from Nexworld's demise, so these ideas are handy right now

[20:48]

because a lot of activity halted last year when I got a new job and got very busy

[20:48]

ah

[20:48]

real life (tm), it gets you every time

[20:48]

and if there was a team setup, then things would have continued

[20:48]

yeah

[20:48]

agreed.

[20:48]

I'll give you an example

[20:49]

goodbye

[20:49]

yesterday, I said to the NCT people....

[20:49]

Our goal this week is to get the ladder steup to start next week

[20:49]

|<--

Zerugma has left irc.quakenet.org (Signed off)

[20:49]

so I outlined what needed to happen

[20:49]

and we went through the initial steps to get things moving. Various people pitched in.

[20:49]

Sorry for the lack of talking finishing off a project.

[20:50]

we build up a map list that clans would vote on

[20:50]

Dokujisan: once again sorry for not much speaking in the ntc channel too...

[20:50]

that's ok shaggy

[20:50]

tinason, if you guys want, I can act like a director for your activity in AU too, if you can form a NCT for AU

[20:51]

I'll create a gameplan and start settings tasks, goals

[20:51]

setting*

[20:51]

this does sound really good

[20:51]

<3 school. "You need to get me a draft by Thursday 12 o'clock, but there is no chance of me checking the drafts in time"

[20:52]

tinason, who would be candidates in Nex.au for a NCT?

[20:52]

suggest some names

[20:52]

people I could approach

[20:52]

one second, mate

[20:52]

brb....refilling my coffee

[20:54]

Dokujisan: dunno if this could be of any help, http://nexmarket.wikispaces.com/

[20:54]

I made it to try to collect my ideas and thoughts about moving AU forward

[20:55]

excellent

[20:55]

well, the guys from aussienexers are interested, specifially flea, tinason

[20:55]

tinason, you're in aussienexers?

[20:55]

shaggy is always keen to do stuff too

[20:55]

cool

[20:55]

yeah

[20:55]

ok, so that is three

[20:55]

ill make a forum post about it

[20:55]

if you had to guess at a few more that might be interested....

[20:55]

see if it can generate some interest

[20:56]

otherwise, 3 could work for now

[20:56]

fabzor might

[20:56]

he's a map maker, right?

[20:56]

yes

[20:56]

excellent

[20:56]

he is australia's answer to mikee

[20:56]

heh

[20:56]

i mean that in a good way, of course

[20:56]

I saw his video tutorials. Good stuff

[20:56]

yeah, he really is awesome

[20:56]

he is in #aussienexers now

[20:57]

fabzor3 (~fabian@11.139-50-210.dynamic.dsl.syd.iprimus.net.au) has joined #nexuiz.au

[20:57]

hi

[20:58]

speak of the devil

[20:58]

indeed

[20:58]

wooo spooky

[20:58]

freshly pirated track http://www.fabianrosten.com/03%20Corridor.mp3 get it

[20:59]

<flea_>

it's no fun if I'm not infringing

[20:59]

<flea_>

:)

[20:59]

yeah

[20:59]

its not even out yet i dont think

[21:00]

let's continue our discussion in #aussienexers

[21:00]

to the kangaroo machine!

[21:11]

this is where we pull people from the public servesr that are obviously noobs and we offer them training

[21:11]

i remamber shaggy doing these

[21:11]

we're working on a basic curriculum

[21:11]

and we're collecting trainersw

[21:11]

<flea_>

do you use the ninjaz dojo map?

[21:11]

not usually

[21:11]

I tend to just use silvercity

[21:12]

it's expansive

[21:12]

allows for just about any training

[21:12]

yeah, you can do anything there

[21:12]

allows for two sets of trainers to act independantly on the same map

[21:12]

<flea_>

do you plan to train the trainers, or make videos?

[21:12]

I know shaggy is familiar with the training sessions that I've done before

[21:12]

if you do group training sesions, those are a blast

[21:12]

he hosted one of two at nexworld

[21:12]

and they help new players too

[21:13]

:)

[21:13]

so, out of your list of servers, you'll need to have at least one where you can go for training

[21:13]

i checked out a training session with z about 6 months back, fun

[21:13]

yeah I gave him a nexworld for a day for one of his sessions

[21:13]

<flea_>

I heard the last one was a blast

[21:13]

private.gallantclan.com:26001/0

[21:13]

we're also working on training videos, and those will indirectly help you guys too. You can point people to them to learn Nexuiz tricks

[21:13]

and that will save time

[21:13]

but the training sessions are also about socializing

[21:14]

<flea_>

we will embed them on the website :)

[21:14]

interaction

[21:14]

yeah

[21:14]

people need to get the feeling that they are part of a community. That is how you retain them

[21:14]

hey im keen to do a strafe jumping map

[21:14]

perhaps a database of nexuiz you tube tutorials might help too

[21:14]

I think doku might be working on some video project or is that still in the works?

[21:14]

a la defrag style

[21:14]

fabzor3, the biggest thing we need help with are maps for TDM

[21:14]

for a future TDM ladder

[21:14]

oh yeah

[21:14]

but we'll get to that discussion later

[21:15]

well i have a new one in the works called vectorwars

[21:15]

im trying to bring some q2 back into the game

[21:15]

yay

[21:15]

ok, so all of this ....all of these steps to building up Nex.AU, starts with collecting information

[21:15]

so i can make that tdm

[21:15]

who are the regulars in Nexuiz.AU?

[21:15]

* shaggy

was working on the quakelivers

[21:15]

yes

[21:15]

write the list down

[21:15]

im there a bit

[21:15]

hand it to me

[21:15]

killquick, fabz

[21:16]

put a check next to the ones in clans. Put another mark next to the ones who could potentially be in clans

[21:16]

most of us are regulars actually :)

[21:16]

show me quake live for ubuntu and ill show you a happy fabzor3

[21:16]

<flea_>

the newbies nearly always start on a CTF server

[21:16]

whats mumble btw?

[21:16]

A voice chat program

[21:16]

open source

[21:16]

Mumble offers Voice Chat capability similar to Teamspeak or Ventrilo

[21:16]

similar to ventrilo

[21:16]

heh im not intrested in voice chat

[21:17]

use more bandwidth then nexuiz itself

[21:17]

fabz, thats only coz your voice didnt break yet

[21:17]

yeah thats possibly it

[21:17]

it's pretty useful for good competition. it attracts more competitive players

[21:17]

<flea_>

what does mumble give you over teamspeak?

[21:17]

:)

[21:17]

also

[21:17]

flea_, cross platform

[21:17]

that i get abused by nerds i want to fucking punch

[21:17]

but yeah

[21:17]

it's also open source and a lot of people like that

[21:18]

ok....so do you guys have a text editor open?

[21:18]

<flea_>

ah ok, it's just that I have a 20slot TS server sitting idle

[21:18]

Yes

[21:18]

have a text editor open at all times

[21:18]

http://forums.aussienexers.com

teamspeak works on linux dosent it tho?

[21:18]

See: 1. but if they show up and there isn't anything to keep them around, that's bad

[21:18]

2. who are the regulars in Nexuiz.AU? write the list down. put a check next to the ones in clans. Put another mark next to the ones who could potentially be in clans

[21:18]

3.

[21:18]

<flea_>

Server Contacts

[21:18]

<flea_>

Gaming Forums

[21:18]

<flea_>

Boot Camp

[21:18]

<flea_>

Regulars

[21:18]

<flea_>

- those in clans

[21:18]

<flea_>

- those who could be in clans

[21:18]

<flea_>

-

[21:18]

Random book check :P

[21:18]

good job flea

[21:18]

<flea_>

:")

[21:18]

that's exactly what I'm looking for

[21:18]

Damn!

[21:19]

teachers pet! :P

[21:19]

ok how is the 1v1 tourney going?

[21:19]

hehe

[21:19]

* flea_

looks at shaggy

[21:19]

Well we just got rid of one match

[21:19]

<flea_>

which one?

[21:19]

it about to enter its 9th month

[21:19]

Kq vs Guns --> KQ wins by forfeit

[21:19]

you need to get that 1v1 tourney completed. Don't let it drag on.

[21:20]

<flea_>

+!

[21:20]

Working on it

[21:20]

get the conversation started on getting 3v3CTF ladder started. Begin the conversation with people starting today.

[21:20]

Chat a lot...

[21:20]

a whole lot

[21:20]

<flea_>

the tourney generated a lot of interest

[21:20]

excellent

[21:20]

don't let the momentum from that stop

[21:20]

<flea_>

which kinda died out when it dragged on for so long

[21:20]

right, that's bad

[21:20]

Lol US tourney is still going

[21:20]

and remember, folks, we have a new forum (see topic) that we can use as a communication tool too

[21:20]

<flea_>

so we need to get that going again

[21:20]

it has to be completed

[21:21]

get that tourney under your belt. that's your first tourney right?

[21:21]

yes

[21:21]

<flea_>

I think a CTF tourney would be great

[21:21]

JOB FOR SHAGGY: I will talk to -z- about getting au.nexuizclans.com

[21:21]

ok where is your forum?

[21:21]

Where does all of the Nexuiz.AU dicussion take place?

[21:21]

<flea_>

[21:21]

and is everyone on there?

[21:21]

* flea_

beats tinason

[21:22]

no

[21:22]

<flea_>

no

[21:22]

nexuiz.au, and here

[21:22]

hehe

[21:22]

do people in IRC look at that forum?

[21:22]

yes

[21:22]

do they even know about it?

[21:22]

most do

[21:22]

ok, in 2.5 and up, there is a help system that is programmable for servers

[21:22]

<flea_>

we are in the process of rebuilding at the moment

[21:22]

it's url will become part of the server's motd soon also

[21:22]

and you can use that help system to constantly announce information too, not just provide helpful tips

[21:22]

help.cfg?

[21:22]

like once per map

[21:23]

cool

[21:23]

make an announcement

[21:23]

* flea_

thinks about Lithrem's SPAM bind

[21:23]

I'll add a training vote that starts the config.

[21:23]

you guys need a channel specifically for training

[21:23]

thinks about flea_ thinking about Lithrem's SPAM bind

[21:23]

ok

[21:23]

see this page.... http://nullgaming.com/bootcamp

[21:24]

* flea_

thinks about why tinason is thinking about what I am thinking about

[21:24]

* Lithrem

wonders why everyone is thinking about his binds

[21:24]

and here is the beginning of some notes I started for a curriculum http://nullgaming.com/bootcamp/notes

[21:24]

ROFL

[21:24]

also, nifrek is working on some curriculum notes for teaching 1v1

[21:24]

Dokujisan: should we make a new channel or should it be #nbc.nexuiz ?

[21:24]

hey all

[21:24]

-->|

fabzor31 (~fabian@54.142.dsl.syd.iprimus.net.au) has joined #aussienexers

[21:24]

very cool

[21:24]

shaggy, I dunno. what do you guys thing?

[21:24]

think

[21:25]

yes! one faabzor is never enough!

[21:25]

do you want to pool efforts together into one channel?

[21:25]

I am thinking we don't have enough people for a whole new channel just for training

[21:25]

shaggy, I'm going to have things moved to #nexuiz.bootcamp

[21:25]

so yeah maybe we should #Nexuiz.AU it.

[21:26]

pooling has added benefits of sharing resources and ideas globally, but, players always gravitate to others players they can actually play against (due to latency constraints)

[21:26]

i say for boot camps, it be pooled

[21:26]

for bootcamp, how about make a map for it

[21:26]

ok tinason

[21:26]

|<--

fabzor3 has left irc.quakenet.org (Ping timeout)

[21:26]

tripod, I think we have a decent enough map. I use silvercity a lot

[21:26]

Dokujisan: Do you mind me asking -z- about an au.nexuizclans.com?

[21:26]

Dokujisan: ;) kk

[21:26]

for starters. If you want to make a map, we could use more TDM maps

[21:27]

oh yes it is nm

[21:27]

shaggy, that would be great

[21:27]

k

[21:27]

Anyway I need to go to bed...

[21:27]

yeah get into mapping

[21:27]

:|

[21:27]

[21:27]

Grasshopper_ (~who@208.180.184.234) has joined #aussienexers

[21:28]

ok guys so you need a set of people willing to train newcomers

[21:28]

either spontaneous training or some scheduled group training

[21:28]

both are good

[21:29]

hello all

[21:29]

sticks his hand up

[21:29]

scheduled group training is for regulars to help everybody refine their skills...and to help keep everybody social

[21:29]

hello mr Grasshopper_

[21:29]

hi Grasshopper_

[21:29]

hey Grasshopper_

[21:29]

ok so we have one trainer...tinason

[21:29]

but i cant only take a news class

[21:29]

I'm sure I can vouch for shaggy too

[21:29]

im not that good

[21:29]

<flea_>

I can train laser jumping

[21:29]

im sure shaggy will be in

[21:29]

ok three trainers

[21:29]

<flea_>

(but not much else)

[21:29]

news = newbs

[21:30]

* tripod

is noob

[21:30]

damnit

[21:30]

i have a starring role in a show called 'Real Life', and i must depart

[21:30]

sorry

[21:30]

bbl

[21:30]

<flea_>

l8r tinason

[21:30]

ok... so flea_ you wrote those names down right?

[21:30]

cya mater

[21:30]

seeya tinason

[21:30]

<flea_>

yes

[21:30]

ok. Also ask around about that as well.

[21:30]

when you chat with people in #nexuiz.au

[21:31]

of all of the people on pub servers, what percentage of them do you think hang out on IRC?

[21:31]

<flea_>

pagey used to be good at training, but he had a little meltdown recently

[21:31]

:-(

[21:31]

<flea_>

about 10-20%

[21:31]

yeah I saw some of that

[21:31]

ok... 10 20 %

[21:31]

if you can do anything to increase that number...that would be beneficial

[21:32]

how many in IRC do you think go to the forum?

[21:32]

<flea_>

the thing is, not much happens in IRC

[21:32]

well you need to change that too

[21:32]

really?

[21:32]

<flea_>

agreed

[21:32]

remember, your job is to chat

[21:32]

communicate

[21:32]

brb guys

[21:32]

talk a whoooooole lot

[21:32]

needs more explosions and sex

[21:32]

lol

[21:32]

aurix: :)

[21:32]

<flea_>

needs more headshots

[21:32]

needs more nex

[21:32]

<flea_>

the problem is, I find playing nexuiz more interesting than chatting in IRC

[21:32]

one of the things you can say in #nexuiz.au is talk about this chat with Dokujisan

[21:33]

#nexuiz.nct we cant shut up

[21:33]

<flea_>

unless something interesting is being discussed

[21:33]

<flea_>

yes, will do

[21:33]

yeah...actually you guys could just join #nexuiz.nct if you want.

[21:33]

brb smoko

[21:33]

it'll give you ideas

[21:33]

goodluck/havefun

[21:34]

is there a list of mappers here from Au

[21:34]

<flea_>

only 1 i think

[21:35]

i know fabzor maps

[21:35]

<flea_>

yes, other ppl are learning

[21:36]

tell them to come see me in NCT

[21:36]

<flea_>

ooohh

[21:36]

<flea_>

ok

[21:36]

http://www.nexuizninjaz.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=35

[21:36]

flea_, fabs could help things a lot by teaching others in AU to map

[21:36]

mapping helps drive conversation too

[21:36]

you guys need to talk

[21:36]

<flea_>

well, he is making videos atm

[21:37]

<flea_>

which I am yet to see

[21:37]

it keeps people interested. It gives them a reason to be in IRC

[21:37]

<flea_>

(been a little busy)

[21:37]

there are plenty of things there for them to help learn it . i have a thread there with collections from all over

[21:37]

ok, so what sort of things could be blasted to the public servers?

[21:37]

<flea_>

ok, sometimes we have a problem with times, being on the other side of the world and all

[21:37]

using the help system

[21:37]

<flea_>

the forum address

[21:37]

<flea_>

the IRC channels

[21:38]

yeah, you guys need to create your own little pool of activity

[21:38]

<flea_>

training times

[21:38]

points of acceptable etiquitte

[21:38]

a link to the bootcamp website for AU

[21:38]

letting people know that there is free Nexuiz training available

[21:38]

at anytime

[21:38]

<flea_>

ah yes, the code of conduct

[21:38]

back

[21:39]

missed tripod

[21:39]

<flea_>

which is a good topic to bring up with Dokujisan and Grasshopper_ here

[21:39]

* tripod

blushes

[21:39]

lol

[21:39]

tinason: fixed the compiz prob btw

[21:39]

so ... tell me some of the things that you guys could raise as conversation in #nexuiz.au?

[21:39]

|<--

amagath has left irc.quakenet.org (Ping timeout)

[21:39]

anyone?

[21:40]

i think a first step would be to find out what the players want in thier community, and respond accordlngly

[21:40]

trickjumping :D, me to get better

[21:40]

particularly with regards to the servers

[21:40]

since its the servers that are central to the experience

[21:41]

sometimes i experience weird PL in aussienexers :(

[21:41]

here are some suggestions for discussion.. "Who here has considered starting up a server?" "Is anyone here interested in receiving some nexuiz trianing?" "We're thinking of starting a 3v3CTF tourney. Who here is interested?"

[21:41]

* flea_

I am so glad we banned bots in this channel

[21:41]

"Who here is interested in learning how to make maps?"

[21:41]

pick me

[21:42]

<flea_>

well, the harder question is, how do we get people to come to IRC in the first place

[21:42]

there are times when I have joined #nexuiz.au before and I simply ask a question like the above, and it spawns a whole conversation

[21:42]

if a new or existing forum needs anything for mapping tutorials i am willing to help

[21:42]

flea that mibbit program is very useful for that

[21:43]

here is something with regard to the forum....

[21:43]

technically, there is only one main nexuiz forum on alientrap

[21:43]

but it became useful for the north american players to have a separate forum on nexuizninjaz.com

[21:43]

that created a bit of a separation, which wasn't ideal

[21:43]

however

[21:44]

the powers that be over at alientrap.org aren't always open minded to things

[21:44]

<flea_>

oic

[21:44]

so they wouldn't likely be interested in adding a Nexuiz.au sub category, for example

[21:44]

and it's not really worth trying to convince them

[21:44]

<flea_>

agree to that

[21:44]

you have the ability to make your own little ecosystem, just like we did

[21:44]

aussienexers ftw

[21:45]

yes

[21:45]

we are just getting off the ground with it

[21:45]

yep...aussienexers is like nexuizninjaz

[21:45]

http://www.aussienexers.com/forum/

link?

[21:45]

[21:45]

and i do mean just

[21:45]

* flea_

tinason beat me

[21:45]

yay!

[21:46]

lol bookmarked

[21:46]

* killquick

flea beat me saying tinason beat me

[21:46]

<flea_>

so right now we are starting fresh

[21:46]

another thing you can let people know in #nexuiz.au is that you have formed a Nexuiz Community Team for AU with the help of Dokujisan and some others

[21:46]

<flea_>

because of the ... erm .. recent troubles

[21:46]

and make sure they understand that things are going to be improving a lot from here on out

[21:46]

generate interest

[21:46]

make IRC something worth reading

[21:47]

ok... so, another idea for expanding the Nexuiz.au community

[21:47]

* killquick

thinks of juicy nexuiz gossip to spread

[21:47]

for instance i could post a Au version of my mapping rescources thread

[21:47]

ask people if they have any gaming friends who might be interested in Nexuiz and tell them to show it off to their friends

[21:47]

from there i could help gather mappers

[21:47]

<flea_>

that would be awesome

[21:47]

it sounds simple, but it actually works

[21:47]

you simply need to ask people

[21:47]

you can call it a "campaign"

[21:47]

"Join the campaign"

[21:47]

"invite your friends to Nexuiz"

[21:47]

or something

[21:48]

a lot of regulars in Nexuiz were brought in that way

[21:48]

and when people are showing Nexuiz to their friends, have them chat in IRC too

[21:48]

so their friends can interact with you guys

[21:48]

see that there is some life to the community

[21:48]

and they can be offered training if they are interested in the game

[21:48]

fabzor3 (~fabian@7.142.dsl.syd.iprimus.net.au) has joined #aussienexers

[21:49]

you may think that sounds a little silly...but it's really not

[21:49]

wb fabzor3

[21:49]

<flea_>

I also found that people liked chatting about tournament matches

[21:49]

yeah definitely

[21:49]

good call

[21:49]

posting demo vids about it

[21:49]

<flea_>

ppl love competition, and being part of something

[21:49]

ask shaggy to post an update on the 1v1 tourney on NexuizNews.com AND on the forum

[21:49]

but the conversation needs to start now about the upcoming 3v3CTF (or 2v2TDM if you prefer) tourney

[21:50]

I suggest CTF because, as you said, there are more CTF players

[21:50]

<flea_>

and we have big clans

[21:50]

and that would be a way to bring in people from the pubs to the private community

[21:50]

how many clans?

[21:50]

if any of them are too big, try to get them to split heh

[21:50]

4 I would say

[21:50]

for a community with your size, you need clans that are about 5-6 members tops

[21:51]

more than that is not healthy for the community

[21:51]

oh ?

[21:51]

yeah

[21:51]

they need more clans...not 3-4 clans with 10 members

[21:51]

breATHING ROOM?

[21:51]

O H YA

[21:51]

and clan old farts wasnt meant to be a competitive clan, just a fun clan, but, i guess we can change that

[21:51]

|<--

fabzor31 has left irc.quakenet.org (Ping timeout)

[21:51]

grrr cap lock

[21:52]

competitive doesn't have to mean all serious. It can just mean "active"

[21:52]

active is best

[21:52]

<flea_>

fabzor3 is like a tech-gremlin magnet

[21:52]

and active is fun

[21:52]

so group training sessions is where weaker clans can improve alongside stronger clans

[21:52]

and also where you can get regulars to possibly be interested in joining a clan

[21:52]

if they haven't considered it before

[21:52]

<flea_>

we also need to get a bat cave running, but that is a longer term project

[21:53]

I talked a LOT of people into forming or joing clans last year.

[21:53]

maybe

[21:53]

?

[21:53]

a cave can be up n running quickly if need be

[21:53]

teach gremlin flea_?

[21:53]

I mean a lot of people. I was constantly discussing it.

[21:53]

<flea_>

tech-gremlin not teach gremlin

[21:53]

you do a lot to promote the game, Dokujisan

[21:53]

<flea_>

there has to be a reason to be in a clan

[21:54]

I think Nexuiz deserves to have a thriving community....in US, EU and AU

[21:54]

free beer?

[21:54]

<flea_>

I only joined one because a 14kid convinced me

[21:54]

yeah

[21:54]

aussies love FPS games

[21:54]

yeah

[21:54]

what does tech-gremlin mean?

[21:54]

no reason why nexuiz cant take a peice of the gaming audience here

[21:54]

lke a tech head?

[21:55]

a great start

[21:55]

<flea_>

fabzor3: no, a tech-gremlin is like a bug or a glitch

[21:56]

oh

[21:56]

yeah

[21:56]

bugfindings a great help

[21:56]

ok, so your primary job from now on is to chat with people

[21:56]

talk...talk a lot

[21:56]

hi flea

[21:56]

constantly ask people things

[21:56]

ask about their interest in things

[21:56]

may i add a couple notes here?

[21:56]

<flea_>

yes

[21:56]

for future

[21:56]

<flea_>

pls

[21:56]

discuss some topics and see if anyone might be interested

[21:56]

maps / mapping

[21:56]

go for it Grasshopper_

[21:56]

there are alot of broken maps

[21:56]

the more people that contribute to the discussions the better

[21:57]

some that need small details and some that have potential

[21:57]

yeah we're working on a plan to fix some existing maps to make them competition ready

[21:57]

and....oh this is another great point

[21:57]

my connections from my isp sucks a lot, so i have been considering playing less, and mapping more

[21:57]

flea add this... for yet another group activity that you can use to build the community, you can actively test out new maps and announce it to everyone when a new map is being tested

[21:58]

I do it occasionally on the batcaves

[21:58]

and it's fun

[21:58]

i am here to take the load off doku about these mapping projects

[21:58]

everyone chats about the map

[21:58]

community bug testing on maps

[21:58]

<flea_>

OK

[21:58]

* flea_

sry, caps

[21:58]

so we're trying to setup a regular process for having these map testing "parties"

[21:58]

amagath (~amagath@203-214-120-187.dyn.iinet.net.au) has joined #aussienexers

[21:58]

<flea_>

there are old maps that seem to have developed new holes (like dm_castle)

[21:59]

http://www.nullgaming.com/nexuiz/ladder/

for example , docs hell incarnate is a good map but its all red in saturation . blue team has bad time on that map because they cant see red team clearly . but this is being fixed

[21:59]

i think thats an awesome map

[21:59]

there's a new version of dm_castle that Cortez made, but it's not very playable

[21:59]

<flea_>

Dokujisan: there are set maps for 1v1, is there a list of ladder maps for ctf?

[21:59]

a bit flat, but lots of fun

[21:59]

flea_, we created a list of maps for clans to vote on

[22:00]

[22:00]

that is to start. I think a few of them are too big for 3v3, but that is what we started with

[22:00]

<flea_>

when do you think that vote will complete?

[22:00]

this friday, I hope

[22:00]

acrossanocean12 anyone? :P

[22:00]

that is the deadline that I set

[22:01]

like reservoir...isn't a 3v3 map

[22:01]

nah too big

[22:01]

<flea_>

ok, I've played reservoir with 12 players, and it is still too big

[22:01]

lol

[22:01]

<flea_>

you might see 1 NMY player on your way to the flag

[22:01]

* flea_

JMHO

[22:02]

ok from now on, you guys who consider yourselves part of NCT.au should join #nexuiz.nct

[22:02]

and we'll have these conversations there

[22:02]

<flea_>

at any rate, once your 3v3 tourney kicks off, we will be the beneficiaries of your experience

[22:02]

fabzor3: you are on aussienexers right?

[22:02]

yeah, and you can use our ladder as conversation starter for au too

[22:03]

The same people that are running the US CTF ladder are helping us to startup the AU ladder

[22:03]

something like that

[22:04]

<flea_>

more Octobre too :)

[22:04]

ok this concludes our first NCT.au meeting :-)

[22:04]

yay

[22:04]

welldone

[22:04]

good deal

[22:04]

<flea_>

thanks Dokujisan

[22:05]

[22:05]

Grasshopper_: im on the aussienexers forum as fabzor3 yeah

[22:05]
