I don't expect it to be perfect, but as long as it's mostly fun/successful i'll be happy.

And I agree Myxa, randoms will most likely be joining. However I believe once I explain what's going on, they'd like to participate as well.

It's my hopes that the Admins will be participating, as well as performing their normal duties. You won't be able to hide rule-breaking, as people will complain immediately and loudly. This is supposed to be fun after all, and not just for players but for the admins as well. If doubt is shed on a player, that player can be disqualified from the prizes. Ultimately, I will make the final decisions on that as I'm covering the costs for it. Though I should mention, I trust the Admins. If they're telling me you cheated, I'm most likely going to believe them.

bump I've adjusted and added the time's for the EU portion of the tournaments.

This is a strange conversation.

Throbbers.

Highest score, wins. Best of 5 matches.

Adapt, in my opinion, is too powerful for this competition. Ballistic knives are OK. So to be more specific, here are some further guidelines for the Knifing Competition. These are to level the playing field for all involved. 1) Basic Loadouts Only. 2) No throwing of any kind. 3) The only class skill allowed is speed. (No Adapt, No forcefield, etc.) 4) Ballistic Knives are allowed. I'm open to any suggestions, so long as they don't make things OP for anyone.

I feel with the tournament coming at the end of the week, some decisions have to be made about some stuff. So listen up folks, here's how it's going to go. With respect to Ramsy and Viirus, I'd like to just leave all maps how they are. While I thought Ramsy's maps were very cool, some people may see those changes and be discouraged. We're going to use the normal maps. This way, everyone has a chance to scope out some spots without worrying about them disappearing or becoming obsolete. 1- Knifing Contest- NO CAMPING ALLOWED. This is not hide and seek we're playing. I want to see who's the BEST at knifing. I don't want to see who can flee the longest, or hide the longest. No limbs, No HP, No guns (Speed allowed). 2- Camping Contest- I want original and creative spots, or a new spin on an old spot. If you think tagging along with someone while they do all the work is going to get you a victory, you're wrong. This is not a team contest. You have to think creatively. 3- The "Invite-A-Thon" has been CANCELLED. There are too many ways to exploit this, so i'm not even going to attempt it. I'm not going to replace this with anything. Just two events now. -Times- The Knifing Contest will be held on Saturday, 6PM Central on US Server//6PM CET for EU Server (Central European Time//11AM Central Time) The Camping Contest will be held on Sunday, 6PM Central on US Server//6PM CET for EU Server (Central European Time//11AM Central Time) The rewards are still the same. 1st Place in any category will earn MVP for desired account. 2nd Place earns you VIP. Win both competitions, and I'll send you a neat zombie statuette. Hope that settles things, and I hope to see you all this weekend! Good Luck, Kevin

I meant no prize for third place, actually.

I think this is a great idea, Viirus.

To be honest, the "invite-a-thon" has been bothering me. I'm not sure how we could monitor that without people trying to take advantage of it. I'm open to suggestions for sure.

I appreciate the time you took to create these, Ramsy. You've been extremely helpful these past few weeks, and it's very much appreciated. Personally, I really like them. If it's cool with the ZAM community and Classixz, it's definitely cool with me. Thanks Again!

For example: I work during the week, but I'm usually on ZAM from 5:30pm-12:00am Mon-Fri. During the weekends I get up around 7:00am and am on pretty much all day. I live in the Central Time Zone.

Looks like AghChew, Ramsy, and Viirus have agreed to Admin the tournaments next weekend. Hope you guys are thinking up some cool camping spots. The start time's for the tournaments will be forthcoming in the next few days. For now, I have a question for all who wish to participate: When do you play? What time zone are you in? I'm hoping to get a census to nail down the perfect time for the tourny's.

LOL

I agree completely. Nice mash-up Jack!

To be honest, I still haven't read I Love Indy's post. So I certainly didn't copy him. Also, I want this to be a part of the UU servers for the sole purpose of bringing people over to ZAM. I play most nights in a very under-populated US server. I'm hoping by bringing an event like this along, it'll boost the traffic. If I Love Indy's thing does the same, I'm glad.

Either way, I'd suggest waiting till one of the Admins are online and follow-up with them. They can best help you for sure.

Did you get banned?

Maybe the server's down for maintenance. Wait an hour or so and give it another try.

In some cases, deleting the mod files and re-downloading them can fix most issues.

What's your computer/connection stats? If it's taking ages to load that makes me think your computer may be on the old side. Do you have DSL, Cable, etc. How much RAM is in your machine? Video card?

I still need a few admin's to volunteer for the festivities. I'm thinking we might want to have a sign-up for participants, so we can keep tabs during the matches.

I would think for the Creative Camping, normal rules apply. Attack/defend any way you want.
