Hey,
some might be old enough to remember the glorious time crossfire were able to send an allstar European mix team to the QuakeCon and I just though about doing something similar for the next Adroits event. I mean the top3 is more or less set in stone although the participating teams / players are not published yet... will be most likely Anexis, F5/all-Finish mix and 3rd to be shared between PDEG or a new surprising team?
Thus I thought about sending a new team - consisting of big legends like reload, Holz, darkie, Winghaven, aCozZ (insert some awesome oldskool players here) voted by our community/the members who contributed...
I just browse some and then http://www.vanillatf2.org/ and they currently work on something similar ..they gather money to send the best two american teams to the next i46 team fortress 2 lan...
So the basic idea is:
the problem is: I dont have any experience in "charitable contribution" nor do I know if the community is ready for this
just some crazy thoughts to make the next lan event a bit bigger/better/ thrilling
your feedback=?

So the basic idea is:
- the users pay some euros to see their beloved players/team competing for the top position of the next adroits lan this October
- each donator will have a vote for each class (so 6 votes overall)
- in case the team wins some prizemoney it will be given back to the community (can be used as prizemoney for further cups or other competitions...)

Alot of the decent/oldschool players now that are worth donating for are already in a team
Having two donatable(??) options is a bit much I reckon.
Though, I wouldn't mind seeing some oldschool guys forming a team, but I guess they aint that special, nor poor, they have to be paid for :P
But I could just give me 5 more awsome players kk np.
I guess many might agree for a free trip to Holland and play a couple games during it for a laugh, but I don't see the point in sending out a team consisting of players that haven't touched the game for years, as the outcome would be horrible. If you'd actually find 6 'legends' that would be willing to put in the effort to get back in shape before the LAN, it would be something really interesting to see.
Willing to chip in if this gets on the move though.
Back when this was done, the prize pot was considerably higher than the one at Adroits LAN (afaik), so the benefits of this team going there and winning were much bigger.
It would be more beneficial for the community to donate to the prize pot of the LAN or to donate and just do online cups / leagues.
top 3 is not set already, u missed out overload and colt45
Oldschool could be ppl that are playing for years already and are still playing on the top of the game (e.g. Night, sqzz).
Oldschool could be ppl that have quit a couple of months or years ago, made an appearance here and there and could probably still compete with some months of intensive practise (e.g. Winghaven, mystic, toxic, teKoa etc.).
Or oldschool could be ppl that most likely haven't touched the game in years and won't be able to compete against the current top (e.g. Sanctity, Darkie or other 2003/4 veterans).
I gotta agree though that whoever might be picked for this team, have to prac their arses off to get into top3.
EDIT: seeing last OC season or two, even I can be considered oldschool these days :P
and the community wants to pay for these players to go? i don't get it.. they already turned their back on ET for the ALMIGHTY dollar.
rifle: Sample
eng smg: ENSAM
fops/multiclasser: would be chosen by the rest of the team
Not a likely team to attend but I would chip in to see their performance.
not that I wouldn't love to see reload or ferus play again.
me personally i would not donate for people who are good at this game but they suck as individuals,but i would donate for a lan where nice ppl who stand among others like real man,no matter what their skill is,would like to participate and make the event enjoyable both for them and the viewers.
nice people i know from this comunity are:scatman,talex,meehow,lullaby,skyzer,sylabil,banga,seareal,ati,maus,potty,mili,dialer,nebu,seanza,francis,rafek,azerty,nocs,koshito,kdl,boo,stonerrr,darius,goldorak,gabri22,marvolo,roony,lover,zal,wussie,raku,reshep,wiesiek,kalli,fwraven,eagle20,pingu,newbcake,bosshk,and many many others i forgot for now.
i would def not donate for ppl like :kamz,entire krp corporation,ross,fanatic,any team that got simonkinsler,keith,outlaw,and few others i dont remember right now.
i would pay up to 100 euro to see a team of players i never heard,players from first 3 4 years of et pro and cf comunity,yes i would pay god damn 100 euro to watch this guys play,more than i would pay to see keith face or goku face starring all day long and all night long at the webcam.no thanks,for that shit i would not pay.
oo and i got money for those who ask themself how much money i got,well i got enough money at the moment to organise a lan with 10000 euros top prize,but no ,i won t do it,simply cause cf comunity overall,excepting few ppl,don t deserve this.
Get involved with the coverage for the event to push it and make it attractive for sponsors.
