[Akia]

I'm in.

I play Solider/Spy/Medic/Engineer.

Steam name: Akia

 

[SexConker]

We're up to 22 people so far.

I'll update the list (who needs to send info and who doesn't), and dole out the reserved slots when I get home from work today.

 

[Teknoman]

Damn, I think im going to have to give up my place. We might be out of town for that weekend (play TF2 on my PC, and dont have a laptop strong enough to run it...).

 

[CrookedRain]

Damn, I wish I could play on those days. Good luck EAD members.

 

[1-D_FTW]

I wasn't really paying attention, but the 23rd is Easter. Something tells me that's gonna be a worse than even normal date for getting attendance.

Oh, shit, I didn't notice that before.

Uh... I might not be able to participate. D: I'm not yet sure what my family's plans for Easter are, but I'm 90% sure it involves going out of town to my grandparents' in a small-town in Indiana where broadband is a myth.

 

[vultureparade]

I wasn't really paying attention, but the 23rd is Easter.

Could we bump things back a weekend? I think Easter is going to be rough for a lot of people.

 

[SexConker]

First post reworked.
Team [HLRY] vs Team [OBMA]!

I chose to strikeout the text in the first post instead of deleting it. I don't want people to think I'm flaking out on what I promised. Hitogake (and others) were dead on. I'd love to do it the way I planned, but we just don't have enough players.
Like I say in the OP, my ultimate goal is to see this thing through to the end, and hopefully run a tournament every few months. I hope to do larger tournaments if this one goes well, but it looks like people like Halo 3 more (facepalm.gif).


Basically, 2 teams, starts after Easter Weekend, no $100 + $50 for winning team, just $25 each for 4 honorable mentions. (Unless we somehow get enough for 4 teams. I hope we do, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen.)

 

[nakedsushi]

Awesome, count me in!

NakedSushi
preferred class: Engineer/Medic/Pyro

 

[Iadien]

Fix my name or I'm out. lol

 

[Capndrake]

50% chance to have Won on my team, I like these odds.

EDIT: Forgot that Won isn't participating. But I have kak on my team so I'm still happy.

 

[SexConker]

23 so far.

I'll bug the people who didn't give me their SteamIDs.

I'll assign teams as well, and maybe we can throw together a practice match this weekend (no need to attend).

 

[Iadien]

Are those teams final?

You're going to have big competition on the Wii front.

 

[Twig]

Shit kak nooooooooooooo I don't wanna die!

 

[Davidion]

Solid lineups, I foresee lots of badassery going down.

 

[SexConker]

I know - Brawl.
My copy won't get to me til Wednesday, or something, so I don't care.
Plus, I'm pretty much over the game. Too much hype. I burned out about just after the Japanese release.

Fixed your name Iaden, no, teams aren't final if some of you notice imbalance, still want to sign up, etc.
Yes, Kak = death.

 

[1-D_FTW]

That's a nice looking team we have. BTW, my SteamID is StalkerU.

 

[Firestorm]

After Sunday I am doing absolutely nothing but Brawl for a week. So Steam Groups again? Looks like I'm leaving BLU. Pillow or Java make the group? You guys were captains last time and ran the teams pretty well.

There's a big online Brawl tournament I'll be taking part on the 30th at SmashBoards, but think I can work around it.

Ok, this does not look good here, um...

 

[LouieGeetoo]

D:

You've bonked the nail on the head there. Is this going to parallel the real Obama-Hillary contest? :-/

Still looking forward to it though.

 

[Cheeto]

Awesome, assign me to any class, I usually pick random anyway.

 

[SexConker]

Will add people (Zero, Kifimbo) to teams and sort stuff out again tomorrow night.

 

[trh]

ok so I guess I'll throw my name out there, I'm not entirely sure I can make it - time differences, high ping due to the server being west coast and just a general lack of interest in tf2 lately - but Kak keeps telling me to so here goes:

steam name: cell
preferred class: soldier (and possibly scout or sniper)

 

[Capndrake]

So, practice tonight? There's some people on both teams who I've never played with.

 

[SexConker]

Yeah - I'll try to play a few hours tonight.

Ge your tags [HLRY] or [OBMA] up.
I'll password the server, too.

Password will be:

sexy

 

[PotatoeMasher]

I think you already have my Steam ID, and I'll play in the tourney as well.

Preferred class is Engi, although I've been trying to diversify as a Spy and Demo as well.

Don't see myself in the player lists. I sent Steam ID already, but my name in TF2 is Lukeman.

 

[YakiSOBA]

i'd like to play, put me in any team if spots are still available

 

[LouieGeetoo]

Just in case anyone doesn't know (I myself didn't figure it out until recently), after joining a game you can press Tab to see who's on which team before picking BLU or RED. This should help you to get with your team without having to die and wait for the respawn (or get stuck on the wrong team and have to wait for someone to disconnect or something).

 

[Javaman]

I created a new group with a much better name and the invites are on the way out. Sorry for the confusion.

Don't forget to change your nickname. Just go to your friend pane then click view|settings|Friends.

 

[Capndrake]

Our group's up as well, I've sent out invites to everybody except Visualante (Don't know your Steam name), could you post your profile URL?

EDIT: Thanks for linking me to Teknoman's profile, trh.

 

[trh]

http://steamcommunity.com/id/Teknoman is in the gaf group, should be the one

 

[SexConker]

Added YakiSOBA and Potatoe masher.

Remember - if your name is in bold on that list, I don't have your STEAM ID.
(Or I lost it, I dunno. This shit is hard to keep track of. I had a notbook, but then someone used it for something else. And Etc.)
If you don't see your name at all, let me know.

Please add your team tags!
[OBMA] or [HLRY]


There were a bunch of gaffers on tonight (~10 at one point), but not enough to lock the server down.
If you're wearing tags, it's easier to spot eachother, and etc.

 

[fallengorn]

As an alt/sub for the tourney I've (fittingly) adapted the [GRVL] tag.

 

[Hitokage]

Meh, it's pretty clear that rust has started to truly set in for me. I'll sit this one out.

 

[Javaman]

BAH. You weren't that bad.

Someone with good photoshop skills should make a banner of something like ...

"Robama vs Killary"
FIGHT!~

 

[rakka]

finally unbanned :\

preferred class heavy i guess.

 

[Hitokage]

BAH. You weren't that bad.

There was a moment when I was near point A in Gravelpit where things started to click again, but I need to actually play for a while before I'll feel better about it.

Expectations are a bitch like that. :/

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Oh dear...now that everyone has Smash it's all I want to play (even though I've been playing it since last month D

I hope no one else starts to feel this way and doesn't play the tourney :lol

 

[aznpxdd]

Are signups still open? If so, count me in.

I play Soldier/Heavy/Pyro.

 

[SexConker]

I'll add you guys to teams later today.

I know we're going to have like 30 people, but I'm banking on people not showing up.
We can always have people swap in and out.

Played some rounds shit this morning:

 

[Javaman]

On the plus side, it looks like the 2/28/08 TF2 update raised the limit of players on the server. It should be easier to get everyone in with the right settings.

 

[1-D_FTW]

What's the deal with two seperate Obama Group invites? Are we replacing the 1st invite?

 

[SexConker]

On the plus side, it looks like the 2/28/08 TF2 update raised the limit of players on the server. It should be easier to get everyone in with the right settings.

Except for the fact that I pay for a 24 player server, and they don't (yet) have the option for more.

 

[Iadien]

It's ftw!

 

[Javaman]

The second name was much cooler then the first, and you can't change group names once created.
