When are the T4 v T6 games going down? If given the proper heads up I should be able to play at any time this weekend.

I'll ask my guys. So 9pm EST Sunday. Sound good?

Sunday should be fine by me.

And here, for your viewing
pain
pleasure, here is the
un
official, made in just under 10 minutes powerpoint slide of the Winner's Bracket!

Now updated to Domino's suggestion.

I thought the Grey and Orange of NeoGaf for the background was a nice touch.

Please....someone recommend me some backgrounds for the team slots, I couldn't think of anything past the Recon for the champions, almost every halo pic I tried got crazy distorted, so I just used fill effects.
:lol

Do you guys want to stick to double elim, or one and done?

...hold on a sec. Forgive my ignorance, but Double elim's as in best 2 out of three whole entire "matches" consisting of 3 games, or the double elim as in loser and winner bracket, with the winner of the loser bracket possibly facing the winner of the winner's bracket?

Double elim as in, you lose your set of 3 matches and you go down to a new bracket, and yes, the winner of the loser bracket ultimately playing the top bracket. Also the losers would either have to beat the winners twice, or we could throw that out the window for the finals match.

Sunday night doesn't work for me unfortunately. Neither does Friday LATE night since I have a concert I've got tickets for.

Don't fear the reaper baby. We know you're afraid, you can just say it.
 
Sunday night EST doesn't work for me either. That's 1pm Monday for me.:lol
I will be at school.

So it seems the majority are free for Sunday, so just replace me if need be.
My timezone is GMT+11.
So Friday or Saturday night are good, because it will be sometime the next morning for me.
 
Trasher said:
Well, is there anyway you can do it Friday night Blood?

I can try man it will have to be after I get Home hang out with my parents a bit i would assume they will be going to bet like 11 mountain time which is like midnight central then I would have to set up my xbox and moniter so it would get pretty late, I will try though. We might have to do it sometime during the week? What is going on saturday?

I will have no access to an Xbox all Saturday. During the week is fine for me since I'll be on spring break. I was just trying to see if we could get it done Friday. It's not a big deal to me though if we do it during the week. So what day should we set it for during the week?
 
Any day or time during the week would be fine by me I am also on spring break but I think that yeti's wife won't let him on during the week if i remember right lol. I can try to get on as soon as I get home on friday but like I said it will be late but I think that might be the only time. I will try my best. Can all the other teammates get on that late Friday? or is it just me and trasher who can live the dream and play halo until the wee hours:D
 
Ramirez said:
I can replace roosters if everyone else is available Sunday night. :(

lol i know i feel kinda like a bastard so if everyone on both teams can make it that late friday night I will do my best the problem is that I can't really give an exact time for when I will be able to get everything in order.

I know that I'll be able to play for sure on Sunday. Tomorrow and Saturday I have work, and depending on the workload, will get out at anytime between 8:00PM and 12:00AM :eek:

So as of now, Sunday's the best bet for me. What about everyone else on teams 4 and 6?

(Also, if I get out of work early tomorrow, and none of my teammates are on XBL, will anyone be up for a few games? I want to play at least a few games before the tourney begins.)

Well looks like I am finally back on my good connection. :)
So I guess I should make my self available for your practice games.

I'm thinking I need you to fill roosters spot, his time zone is going to slow us way down it appears. :( Although you and Trasher on the same team=sadface. I'll let them try to get it in first, maybe they can work something out.

Guys on team ONE & FIVE try to be on Friday night at 9 EST and we'll get our games in. I get off work at 9, but should be home within 10 minutes of then.

Also, I had to tweak the Guardian map again, most of the respawn times were way too high. The custom powerup makes you super fast and immune to headshots, really only good with the flamethrower I think, which is why I set it there. :lol

I can't get the Fuel Rod Cannon to come up when I load the map, I go to Forge and it's sitting right where I put it, but when I load it up for the slayer game it disappears, anyone know why? I put something in it's place, just in a different location, look to the overlooking structure in the middle for a treat. So yea, re d/l Gaf Guardian. I also think the kill count should maybe be 100 due to the changed weapon layout, the party can decide on that in the lobby, doesn't matter to me.

Edit: It had something to do with the slayer variant I had set up, just pick regular Team Slayer and edit the kill count from there and the Fuel Rod will show up.

I'll be available today (Friday) after 7pm EST and tomorrow after 2PM EST. All day Sunday, as well.

The rest of T4 and Team 6 need to post so or somehow contact each other to work this out.

Im in the UK but im a night owl so Friday night for you (early Sat morn) should be okay. Sunday night is also fine. Saturday may be a bit dodgy cos i need to be up fairly early Sunday. As long as i have a few hours notice im easy

Depends on the time. I'm unavailable from 12:30 - 4:00 on Sunday. Furthermore, I'm inclined to suggest regular Guardian for the Tournament after some rather... spastic games on GAF Guardian.

Team 4, we (I) need practice as a team. Since I spend most of my time playing Lone Wolves, I certainly was not at top form playing Team Slayer on Guardian last night. Most of this comes down to someone else on the team picking up a weapon I would normally control in a individual game.

Ok so everyone should have an invite to the "GAF Halo 3" friend list. This includes all of the tags on page one, teams 1 - 6.

I'm missing:

Domino Theory, Insaniac, and Armubaba.

And the following have no more room on their lists:

Ramirez, Roosters and Captain Blood.

BTW I'm online now.

I'll be playing Frontlines but send me an invite anyway.

I deleted your friend request, sorry! Didn't know that was you. I get so many weirdos sending me friend invites that I usually just delete them as fast as I can. I'll send you one here in a second.
 
So Teams 2 and 3 aren't playing this weekend? :(
Ok, I think Nutter should replace me.
Sorry about all of this.
Being in a different timezone sucks.
