[14:54] *** Now talking to kojn [14:54] kojn is kojn@cpc2-melt1-0-0-cust481.nott.cable.ntl.com Iva`BigGun, it shoots. [14:54] kojn on @#x-tac #nexuiz.tourney +#nexuiz.ladder #o.nexuiz #nexuiz.ninjaz +#nexuiz [14:54] kojn using *.quakenet.org QuakeNet IRC Server [14:54] kojn k0jak :is authed as [14:55] I'm working right now, but I'll be up for it in a while [14:55] what time is it there? [14:55] 8pm [14:55] k [14:55] well 7:55pm :) [14:55] i dont have work tomorrow [14:55] so ill be up for quite some time [14:55] excellent [14:55] rather play asap though, cause i just want to play :D [14:56] how many people play TDM in [o]? [14:56] i mean do you guys have people who play mainly ctf rather then tdm e.t.c [14:56] well most of them started in CTF and I've gotten a lot of the clan members in each of the new clans into TDM and 1v1 too [14:57] what about [o] [14:57] I started setting up my server using the tourney mod and also with voting options to switch gametypes [14:57] who mainly plays TDM? [14:57] nifrek prefers TDM I think [14:57] mk possibly as well [14:57] but they both also play CTF [14:57] the rest of the players prefer CTF, but they are embracing TDM and 1v1 now [14:57] or they started with CTF [14:58] hmm, though not sure about torus [14:58] I've only played him once in 1v1 [14:58] well if you got any space for a tdm player, let me know :) [14:58] ok I'll setup a match pretty soon [14:58] and get a few other good players too [14:58] who runs optimal? [14:58] komier, inficio, vbraun [14:58] you? [14:58] me [14:59] the two best US clans right now are [o] and -V- [14:59] two newer clans are [S] and Rev0 [14:59] well if your clan has any room for a tdm player also let me know :) [14:59] and then there is GT which is in limbo [14:59] oh you mean to join the clan? [14:59] does -V- and Rev0 have websites? [14:59] yea sure why not, i can help you guys a lot with some stuff [14:59] but its upto you :) [15:00] the server i pld on yesterday anyway was really very playable [15:00] it just takes some adjustment with the ping [15:00] but i started to hit a lot with my nex atleast on that map we played [15:02] -V- doesn't have a website...I started a mockup for them http://www.optimalclan.com/mockup/vortex/ [15:03] I want to eventually pitch to the alientrap devs to allow proven clans to have a clan.nexuiz.com address [15:03] and start using that instead of ouns for tracking active clans [15:04] and allow clan activity to be posted on the main clan.nexuiz.com site [15:04] er clans [15:06] :o [15:11] I'm discussing it with the clanmates and I want to discuss it with the other clan people too [15:11] see, I don't want to throw off the clans but adding in a ringer or anything [15:11] we had that issue with red dragon in CTF matches [15:12] red dragon still plays with us in CTf, TDM and 1v1, but he acts as a fill in with pickup matches [15:12] brb phone [15:12] k [15:13] back [15:14] so...it would be fucking awesome for you to get in the mix and play 1v1, tdm, whatever and give us all tips [15:14] it would help all of us to improve more quickly [15:14] ok, well i dont want to be just a 'ringer' [15:14] but adding you to [o] or any of the US clans right now would probably be a bad move heh [15:14] id want to play seriously in a clan. [15:14] ok [15:15] well I'll consider it and discuss with inficio (one of the -V- leaders) and see what he thinks [15:15] I mean, it would be awesome...but I just don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers :-) [15:15] why would it ruffle peoples feathers however? :o [15:15] ok, I'll give you a scenario [15:15] we have been doing regular pickup matches [15:16] and a few times we had red dragon fill in [15:16] this doesn't happen everytime, but sometimes the team that red dragon is on dominates [15:16] because he moves so fast [15:16] faster than most of us at this point [15:16] personally, I kinda like the challenge [15:17] but it's discouraging to some players [15:17] I mean, I'm mostly a defender, so red dragon is exactly the player I'm preparing for [15:17] I like trying to stop him [15:18] this doesn't happen everytime, but sometimes the team that red dragon is on dominates [15:18] I dunno...everyone is improving quickly, so maybe it's not as big of a deal [15:18] your sounding like divverent :P [15:18] lol [15:18] how so? :-) [15:18] cause he constantly goes on about balance [15:18] ahh [15:18] if divverent had it his way everyone would be the same skill level [15:18] EVERYONE [15:18] no one would have any advantages [15:18] well, I don't want that [15:19] and everyone would score the same :) [15:19] nice guy mind you :D [15:19] the best thing also to do is like i said before [15:19] I think [o] is already the best clan, personally [15:19] get a .eu team vs use team [15:19] get it publicised on the forums [15:19] if we played with our best players... like mkzelda, nifrek, -Z-, me,. soulbringer.... [15:19] and show some teamplay [15:19] show proper game [15:20] that team will beat -V-'s best players, I think [15:20] atm, its too early for that..get the other clans playing TDM [15:20] i mean other NA teams..you got 4, so you got enough to play quite a bit [15:20] it would be competitive ,but we would win [15:20] yeah [15:20] what i teach you, you can pass on to other teams [15:20] i can even write up a few guides on maps [15:20] right now, [S] and Rev0 are close in skill...and [o] and -V- are close in skill [15:20] ok [15:21] but its better to get a good game done (one where you [o], use teamplay and control a map) [15:21] toghether with an explanation from me on the forum why you did so well e.t.c ..and explain the tactics used / involved [15:21] what would be great is, later on, if I can get inficio, vbraun, etoile...the top -V- guys to play in TDM with us [15:22] that would be a good idea [15:22] perhaps if -V- accepted red dragon :-)
