Proposed weekend event

[Kabatra]

So...I know that the INS devs (Team Insurgency) frequent our forums, and I'm almost willing to bet my first born (when they're born in June ) that they probably visit our servers sometime. My point? I propose a weekend event to help us build up better relations with Team Insurgency, and maybe even test out some new maps/classes/weapons (whatever) that they might be thinking about implementing. The event? An all night Team Insurgency vs eGO server, where we will play against them on the very maps they created? Sound fun? I think so.

Here's the run-down: eGO will lock down one the servers (whichever is not at number 1 at the time), and lock it with a password that will only be provided to Team Insurgency, and whatever eG's and eGO's that wish to participate. The event will be open only to those with admin level, as this will allow Team Insurgency to familiarize themselves with the people that are keeping the #1 INS server where it's at. Sign-ups for the event will start Thursday of the event week, or so, and eG's and eGO's can sign up on the forums. We can also have a section of the thread for Team INS members who will be participating, to promote them to also visit our forums. Sign up's will be for the normal 16 players for each team, plus an unspecified number of reserve slots, for those people that DC or leave during the matches. Please feel free to participate in the Poll, and also post any feedback as to what could make the event better, as well as if you think it would work or not. Thanks!

I like it. We need to get in touch with them to see if they'd be available for an event like this. They are extremely busy getting the beta 3.0 release out so if it doesn't happen let's consider it later down the road. Also, I'm not sure we should make it an "all-night" event. That's a lot of time to spend in game. It's a great idea though, I'll send an email to the developers we've talked to so far and see what they think. Good idea Elioch.

I like the idea but I think the event should take about 1 hour.

Eh, time frame is one thing that we can work out. I just proposed all night because that's a relatively universal starting point for a topic like this, and it can be adjusted as fit. I'm just glad that the INS members seem to like the idea so far, considering it was a spur of the moment thing lol.

I really like this idea, i say that it should be around 2 hours long, it gives us a little more time to get to know the guys that made the game, and maybe pick up a few tips on how to play better

I like this idea as well. It sounds fun, but possibility that it could to us being beta testers? I don't know, but I really like this idea.

Well, let's see about getting him a rig to play on for the event, or something . But seriously, I'm sure if the Team Insurgency group needs any accommodations for the event, with our Division Leaders and possibly even the eGO Council combined, we might be able to work something out so that they can join us as well . The goal of this is to build relationships, after-all. And, being the party to initiate this idea (I apologize eGO, for any inconveniences this may cause us in advance ^^ I feel it would be our responsibility to make whatever changes we can to make this possible. And, as stated earlier by Sixxgunn, this doesn't have to be something immediate. Perhaps some correspond ace with Team Insurgency and eGO can help us find a good time to make a dream like this come true? .
