:)
Parent

Parent
#eZ is still looking for a highskilled 6th. /q decem @ qnet


btw nice turning the p around cbc3, not cpc3
it's flipped vertically and horizontally!

(cdc not cbc) :D
Parent
THEY THINK THEY ARE SMART
Parent
actually its rotated 180 degrees!
Parent
I'm going there i only need a active team!
Parent
en tiedä yritetäänkö sittekkää, tuntuu silt et oon ite ainut joka on ees kiinnostunu lähtemää, kukaa ei auta kuudennen ettimises ja sitku ois ollu kuudes jota ois voinu testaa ni pari tyyppiä menee pelaan jotai quakewarssia ni jooh.. :XD
Parent
joo tässä ny on vähän sitä ET "viimosia kunnollisia hengetoja" fiilistä ilmassa..
Parent
jep vähä silt vaikuttaa kyl.
Parent
i will pwn @ CPC3
easy as the rest will be at CDC3.
Parent
is it possible to play both (cpm and wsw) tournaments?´
If people aren't allowed to compete in the ET:QW and the ET tournament what's the point of having both?
it will be splitted, so np imo
but there will be more clans for ETQW than ET clans who will travel to enschede
ETQW just has the better MGC organisations who can send teams (or they will actually join those mgc's)
while et is not really attractive, because it only has this 1 lan
and for ETQW there will be other lans announced in the upcomming months i guess, soooooo :)
Parent
you can only play 1 match at a time and all the tournaments run simultaneously
Parent
need € :<
i'll be there! =)
The first tornament looks WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to over done, need to move one of the tornaments over, preferably ET. That way then ET players can play QW aswell, just my opinion :<
Would like to be there :x
nais, 2 guys avi for c(d?)pc ! pm !
cu @ lan
plz no 21th! how about 28th? :<
there is two fridays in this year when I cant move anywhere and you pick another of those :S

Welcome @ Crossfire :D
Parent
is the tournament already busy on the 21st? because i don't thin my folks will allow me to miss 2 days of school for a pc game so i would leave at like 4 am friday and arive at perhaps 00 am saturday or so
If its the same as previous edition it will start friday 09 AM.
Parent
are you going by bike or what?
Parent
by train

edit ;i ment leave my house at 4 am, for example a train at 4.30, arrive in antwerpen at 6 +- , leave antwerpen with another train at 6.10, etc
Parent
it wont take you fucking 20 hours to arrive lol
Parent
a & p are so close together, my fat fingers press both ;<
Parent

Parent
als je donderdag om 4 uur weggaat en zondag om 3 uur weer terug gaat mis je 1 dag, daar kunnen je ouders toch wel mee leven? het is tenslotte toch het begin van het jaar
Parent
Great news :) Almost want to book a flight before I got a team >_>
Nice! I'm probably gonna play ET:QW anyway so think I might drop by to see who I am playing then. Might be fun to play in the Rtcw tournament two months later. So maybe I get to see the famous Mr. Saw. Oh noes!

Who makes those banners btw? They are amazing.
xRio made that one. theres only one banner i can see? just check urls
Parent
see you there then !

Marauders > *
Parent

Parent
YES! Hope many W:ET teams will do their best to come! But Et:QW noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! ;)
let's take VANHAOMENA666, he will sure be eager to lanproof his unbelieveable sniping skills.
he also has great attitude and sense of humour!
Looking for highskilled team to attend lan /q
who is crossfire.nu?
never heard of this boon!
looks nice
gives me a month, plenty.
Quake 3 CPM 1vs1
so nice

Any limitations on the mouserate or accelpatch stuff?
wasnt last time
Parent
nah, but im guessing you can no longer use raziel realtime patching as it fucked up the pcs.
Parent
i think they shud allow mouse hz patch as u can just chnage that quikly, but not other reg tweaks i suppose.
Parent
last cpc2 i fucked up 20 minutes of my starting time by getting things as hz working (and of course my config) so i guess not :P

you can change regedit stuff in 2 seconds though
Parent
bullvox will be teaching all players how to use their computers! :P
Parent
plug and play? :D
Parent
even mystic agreed!
Parent
I really can't imagine how itrequires more than 2 minutes to change the hertz, executing config etc etc. I don't think I could play with completly different settings than at home.
Parent
Okay let me give you a slight view of the scenario:

1) I opened the RaZiel hz changer, but forgot to change the realtime to 'rebootmode' option. Changed hz, computer crashed completely, had to manually system restore in safe mode (at least 15 minutes)
2) I actually managed to get 500hz now. So another 2 minutes for a reboot are gone.
3) I open ET, execute my config and notice that with any fps over 76 the sound drops at some points and the lag I get is huge with fps > 76. Had to change that in my config + the resolution I normally play on wasn't native for that monitor. Costed me another 5 minutes to figure out what was giving the laggy problems and the sound dropping (someone told me it was the soundcard)
4) I finally could get to play after plugging in my keyboard plug over a big-ass wall (1 minute more)

So that costed me about 20 minutes :P
Parent
i use the usb swither one with the orange logo, and have never had a problem.
Parent
i decided to use that one afterwards as well. :D
Parent
well this time i will visit cdc.. and hope i got my handshake from u ;)
this time i hope my boss doesnt call me to work again at short date :/
Parent
lol, the 2 fridays in the full year iron cant be available because of exams and the et competition starts on one of those fridays, how bloomin' typical >_<
i will play one day for iron np4me
Parent
Searching RTCW PRO's for a team to attend the november event!
i can play in your rtcw clan?
Parent
cu there!! time to play bit poker before i guess..
I think we'll have something to please that specific request
Parent
idd!! u got it.
Parent
i think you need something to respond to irc query requests! ;)
Parent
Hope this time they have some working system to reset the computers after a game.
tgs setup was better wasnt it
Parent
just plug and play
Parent
ppl change keyboard settings, use weird registry settings or in some cases players didnt use any tweaks and also had no clue how to undo them or what had been changed.
Parent
plug and play is a quote from bullvox from the prize ceremony on the last one :)

Rest assured that we've already discussed potential ways of speeding up the transition between PC's.
Parent
I think it's pretty important the the players can at least set a few basic settings (hertz, completly acc disable, ..)
Parent
? its just headset + mouse + exec cfg
Parent
you didnt play there, it really isnt
Parent
xDDDDDDDDDDDD

i had problems on every fucking pc :XXXXX


edit: gonna get some more cd-keys :DDDD
Parent
We've not restricted this in the past, why are you now telling me that this is important?
Parent
because he thinks you want to restrict everything because of past problems
Parent
why would he think such a thing! :(
Parent
Tell the fucking polish guys not to intall drivers to the same mouse I got! :( No drivers ftw!! This time its serious tajM!
Parent
had to click blind through the belgium setpoint uninstallation
Parent

Absolutly great ! This just made my evening complete! See you all in november, and maybe even in september ! ;).

Would like to know what the RtCW QCup exactly means though...
Great, man! And nothing is cooler than to quote himself! :P
WILL THE PC'S BE ABLE TO RUN ET:QW SMOOTHLY?
DEFINITELY NOT.
Parent

Parent

Parent

oh btw making a team for rtcw!!! have 3 players so far so msg me if u're interested
if foonr, fusen and sol all go, i may have to come and bum them.

Also chmmp looks like he has a nice anus, I may have to rage him as well. The finn's love a bit of the bum-fun.
you have mistaken finns with swedes.
Parent
Finnish sounds so evil though, with phrases like "SAATANA" and "VOI VITTU" and the classic "PERKELE". I really thought "KARVAMUNA" was funny though.
Parent
vitun vittu, vituttaa vittumaisen vitusti.
Parent
Only the Finnish language has like 40 different ways to say fuck!
Parent
not quite, but only the finnish language can use word fuck to make a sensible sentence that consists of many words. thats a real sentence and every word is induced from the word "fuck/pussy"

freely translated that sentence means something like:

"fucking fuck, im so fucking pissed."
Parent
Awesome!^^ warsow nicee
cu there =)
Looks nice. Gonna be fun to see you all there again=)
bah.. fuck off please, I only got 1 important exam this autumn which I can't miss and from all the exam days between 10.9 and 3.10, it has to be just on monday 24th of september :l
