Hi all.
As we all know ClanBase is shut down and we have really no other alternative to play our leagues and ladders. Many of you will wait for ohurcool or other admins to step up to find a solution to this problem. That's why I think it'd be wise if we create a journal where we can brainstorm about all these solutions, so we don't leave ohurcool &co alone.
That's why I have thought of different ideas that could possibly get ET back on track. What I need from you is input or feedback regarding the ideas.
It's also your game guys, let's all put some effort into getting this game back. I think CB will finish this OC/EC season, but after that we are in need of something better.
So, here are the things that I had thought of:
If any of you have the slightest idea how to support W:ET by letting people play their ladder/cup matches, please reply to this journal.

So, here are the things that I had thought of:
- I have approached ESL already to bring back the W:ET ladders. Some of you signed a petition saying you want the game back in the ladders. Since ESL doesn't respond very fast to these threads, Sn4k3 was approached with the question if there's any possibilty to bring it back. (No answer yet)
- Besides ESL I have also approached CyberGamer. This is also quite a big organisation where they support different types of games in their ladders. The most active game they have is CoD2. That's why I figured there might be a chance for them to let W:ET in.
- Temporarily organize all cups using .tourney.cc or challonge. Playing ladder officials using these sites won't work.

not?
So stop crying, the game is still here, gamers (even if they arent as many as back in the days) are still here. You just need people willing to help. Even if Im quite busy I can find a couple of mins to help you out and Im sure some other guys wanna help too.
Just some ideas among others...
I think the game isn't going to be any more active, atleast not a whole lot and thats fine. But it would be nice to have a decent ladder atleast for teams to do some games for. That sort of ladder isn't to hard to set up for crossfire if the people on the backend of crossfire like to work on that with some of my guys.
ARNI START CODING
Join us
2)ESL OR CF cups/ ladder
I see crossfire as the last place left to us,ET players to come over and feel at home,in this point,I think Ladders and Cups should be here,in crossfire as part of the site.
inb4 aint gonna happen blabla, im just brainstorming
also etlive
What we ET nerds can do: Find a new F2P game with new Quake 3 or Unreal 2-like engine is the only real option. It will attract fps gamers like flies to shit. Why? There is a huge player base that's just not really happy with CoD or BF-like shooters that dominate the marketshare, and are dying to get word of a fps game that is just different from all the crap that is generally being released. Make it fun, free or low-cost, objective based, with a really high skill cap and create a decent anti-cheat for it (or make it impossible or not worthwhile to cheat at). I had high hopes for Extraction, I haven't really played it but from the videos I've seen it does some things right, but leaves others completely in the wind. Sorry, but that's just my opinion.
no2) Forget about irc! make everything internal- this web site should have a real time chat support
no3) Forget about money.
no4) Find shoutcasters! they attract viewers who will attract players and so on
no5) Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!
p.s.: helene fischer is hawt and u all should care
P.s.2:i know speculow is just trolling around, but im being serious, delete this shit, i dont want to see it anymore
or at least something like tzac ID that shows you who you are playing against
Timbolina, Lord of Crossfire, speaks:
"Strangers from distant lands, friends of old, you have been summoned here to answer the threat of ET. The competitive scene stands upon the brink of destruction; none can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom.
Help these guys in any way you can (coding, modelling, texturing, etc.) or if you disagree with their roadmap at least fork their job and fix/improve ET as you see the current needs + bring a new promod.
PS. OK, I'm still sleepin' 'n' dreamin' :(
