CPC2 playing schedule ? :S

by aCoZz • 9 Mar 2007, 00:15 • Journals
I guess I as most people thought the schedule is going to be pretty same as it was on CPC1, games starting at saturday 8am untill sunday evening. But now I see THIS SCHEDULE and the games are suposed to start already at friday? :S

Why the fucked wasn't that published some time ago before people actualy already bought their plane tickets????? CPC entrace payment was reposted several times, but the realy important info wasn't...

I asked around with other people and noone knows nothing for certain, only Raveneye gave Clown that schedule, can we finaly get some solid info or half people attending will sleep on the streets? :D

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

EDIT :

Now I actualy see the schedule HERE, but it could it be more hidden pls? :D

:) If you think CPC 1 sucked and you don't like the schedule of the second one, don't go give your spot to someone that does want to play! Otherwise stop whining its been said the LAN is on 13,14 & 15 april ;O since they announced the date.

aCoZz 9 Mar 2007, 00:25
I'm not saying CPC1 sucked, but it wasn't really well organised...
And my opinion if CPC1/2 suck isn't relevant, but missinformation can affect on my team.

Oh and, I can't take your opinion seriously because you probably live 10minutes far from the actual LAN event.

Actually I live about 2 hours away from the LAN, I would have to skip school for it. Nice edit, you said CPC #1 sucked and being unorganised doesnt mean something has to suck, it can still be very enjoyable. The date is 13,14 & 15 april! April the 13th is a friday and so you shouldve known it was on friday too, if you didnt know this you couldve asked why it said 13 too.

Skip school? Wooow, I have to apologise then, I didn't know it was that hard for you to get there, certeanly when I only have to fly across half europe to attend it!

Cu there anyway, EOD from me, I don't enjoy talking to walls.

Why not? Walls are good listeners, they never interrupt you and they never offend u... Some walls actually look like they care!

You should stop acting like a tard, it's not my fault you can't read newsposts. If you have to cross half of europe (which :D is like a two hour flight) it's a problem to come one day earlier?

It's always nice when someone lacks arguments and says "EOD", just because they can't back up their big mouth with arguments.

But hey, you need to admit this schedule is really bad for people whose need to come from far away. And it's also no typical schedule. CPC1 didn't suck but it wasn't the expected tournament. There is a lot of space to make it better, especially nearly all top clans will participate.

Nellie 9 Mar 2007, 08:04
What do you mean by 'not a typical schedule' - sHg was Friday to Sunday as many LANs are. As you say there's plenty great teams in attendance, who would you cut to have less play?

I would start it in the evening and not in the miday. But I meant I didn't enjoy the CPC1 as shgopen and quakecon. Even there were more good teams. Also the most players whose participated weren't satisfied. But I am sure the CPC2 will be a way better.

Nellie 9 Mar 2007, 11:39
To start in the evening on Friday would mean either playing through to the early hours or cutting the number of teams :)

why not playing until midnight on friday & saturday? they would win another 4 hours to shorten the schedule on friday morning or sunday evening (and puffer for delays of course)

if i remember correctly, similar events in the counterstrike-scene or sHgopen were also scheduled until midnight.

i don't know if there are any problems playing so long in the evening regarding the gamingcenter or something, but it would be an opportunity.

unorganised i actually agree with you. But you know what, if we formalized the entire proceedings of the event, it would definitely would take the relaxed and fun atmosphere around the games away.

This is a competitive, community event where people are there to have fun, meet and play some ET/CoD games. And therefore we prefer to be more relaxed, and possibly more unorganized.

The friday start was front page news several times before that schedule was released. That schedule was then also released as front page news. I also told anyone who asked me via IRC, email, PM or anything as soon as I knew we had a Friday start.

I guess maybe we should've put it in big bold letters at the top of the schedule post, but I don't think we were exactly hiding the info.

Clown 9 Mar 2007, 00:32
When i saw the newspost + the quali games, i thought its QUALIFIER SCHEDULE, so I was like #care, and didnt even keep reading...
Parent

aCoZz 9 Mar 2007, 00:44
Yeah I know it's partly my fault I didn't see the schedule 'till now, but the information itself wasn't very accessible aswell. No harm done anyway, I didn't mean myself who already booked the ticket, it was noob Clown, who actualy booked it for thursday, not friday so no damage done ... :S

Gaso 9 Mar 2007, 00:29
The fundamental problem seems to be, that information about the LAN isn't very accessible. It's -- again -- scattered all over the website: in several different newsposts, in journals, in the forums...

A single new "CPC"-tab in the main menu with simple collection of the needed information would be welcome. Or, if that's too difficult to arrange, a sticky newspost with all the details gathered.

Nellie 9 Mar 2007, 00:32
There's a LAN holding page in production.

All posts relevant to the LAN where sticked for several days at the time of posting to ensure people saw them - the majority of users visit the site at least once per day there's not much else you can do.

Nellie 9 Mar 2007, 00:30
It's been said very clearly since the first post back in November that it'd run Friday through to Sunday.

Hopefully they'll only charge you an admin fee to switch flights.

I dont understand, you come to this site every day why dont you read the news? :x

eVo 9 Mar 2007, 01:39
well i can sort of understand the frustration, it took me pm spamming tosspot to find out exact dates, i like you had assumed saturday / sunday and as it happens the 4 fins are having to go on wednesday to make flight costs etc work out

but the good news is flights are cheaper in the week than if you had to fly on a friday
▼
TosspoT 9 Mar 2007, 01:46
You were spamming me when the dates werent 100% confirmed, its a very different situation as I did not wish to give you information that may later be incorrect as you may have booked tickets and incurred fee's on false information.
Parent
▼
eVo 9 Mar 2007, 01:48
well no thats not entirely correct, the dates were known for ages but you wanted to wait for the announcement from the tournament hosts or something if i remember right
Parent
▼
TosspoT 9 Mar 2007, 02:17
Because they were not final, had you booked tickets off dates i'd told you in pm you would not have been a happy chappy if they were changed.

Nellie 9 Mar 2007, 08:54
Nope, this journal's about a misunderstanding as to when it starts - FDJs is about the schedule.

Unfortunatly God was afk when we put in the request for two 28 hour days that weekend.

We all knew it started friday 13th..

ive ordered my flight to thursday, but thats only because i wanted to go out drinking thursday...

I didnt knew the event would start so early on friday 13th.. so if it hadnt been for my huge desire for NL-beer, i would probably arrange my flight to friday, and therefor be in Enschede around 13-14 cet.. which i thought was in good time...

im happy i didnt..

imo, this event starts abit to early on friday.
