3 euros per player, it's nothing - 'n 9 times return for the winners :O)
:DDD
8bits will participate.
edit: mm.. great, didn't accept my visa :l
it has been working well on other payments I've made over internet and I checked the information so many times that it surely was 100% correct. also heard that some others have had problems donating with their cards aswell
would it be possible to donate it over moneybookers/neteller/paypal?
sw_gr will not be added & I have stated as to why.
2 the most skilled maps in ET atm are radar & goldrush (in order) and you remove another out :p great.
Try explaining this to the new generation of polaks, raised on cybergames, playing supply and b4 24/7 as its the only maps where they get stable fps and they only need to aim from left to right, without thinking, leanspots everywhere and hardly any real ET skills involved (unless you call lean, camp and backrape skill ...)
All lowskillers think b4 is the best map ever. Still gotta find top players who actually enjoy the map ...
It is well known that the map devs released the sw_goldrush_te.pk3 only to shortly there after fix some bug & re-release it without changing the name causing there to be 2 diff pk3's with the same name.
When a player has version A in their etmain & connects to a server & thats using version B the player is thrown into a download loop.They will attempt to download the correct version over & over from the server only for it to fail.The player is then forced to search for the correct version which is difficult due to the fact they both have the same exact filename.
This is just an unnecessary headache I'm trying to avoid.
i play sw_gr daily and never noticed any upsets and also never noticed them in any big match i watched
oh well your cup your maps though imo you should rethink this
I suppose if I post the correct version of the map in the Cup Downloads section it may help to avoid any potential probs. It's just been my experience with our league that the more potential probs you avoid the less reasons you give the players to complain.
I'm all for whatever makes the majority happy
sw_goldrush included to make the Euros happy
braundorf included to make the North Americans happy
Sound fair?
not that much, but better than doing nothing
great initiative though, gl
I have sent out several requests to EU server providers only to either not have my correspondence acknowledged or denied.
After discussing this issue with some of the crossfire admins they assured me that this shouldn't pose a problem with the hopes that some of the EU teams will have servers available.
Even though I am still actively seeking a EU server sponsor for the event as well as seeking a full time EU server sponsor as next season I am looking to expand our W:ET league to include some EU divisions. We've had several active EU teams in the past but theres always issue with time & pings for them trying to compete in NA based league.
A) It's the best possible way to ensure those who compete legitimately,that they are being played fairly. In my eyes suspicion of hacks of is just as much of a disease in ET as is actual hacks.
Nothing against other leagues, what they do is their business & we respect what they do but it is our belief that allowing past cheaters into our competitions destroys the integrity of that competition as all it's doing is introducing more suspicion. I know a zero tolerance policy doesn't entirely stop that but at least it slows it down.
B) Because of this policy we have forged a strong relationship with PBBans & they in return provide us with an extended amount of tools that they have developed just for leagues & everyone of those tools has proven extremely valuable. Plainly put at this point we would have a difficult time functioning without them.
The policy is nothing personal it's just one we feel is necessary.
that means 3 teams and € 200,- incoming!

*Are Debit Cards accepted or direct bank transfers accepted??
We do not allow debit cards or transfers at this time.
*For EU Credit Card users
Please ask them to choose the other amount and to enter 30 (knowing the transaction is in USD).The credit card should not have a problem processing the transaction.
Anyone that is having issue or needs assistance please contact me via Email or IRC & I will try to assist you.
Finally something to give back to the world
Also NationVoice has agreed to sign on as a sponsor.They will be making a donation to the charity as well as offering prizes. I will post full details when I have them.
ETGameHosting will be donating a couple of servers as prizes & details will be released on that soon as well. I know thats doesn't appeal much to EU teams as these would be NA servers.I'm still attempting to locate a EU server sponsor that would be interested in matching that prize with the possibility of offering the same prize to both top placing EU & NA teams separately.
I will continue to update as new info comes available.
