RTCW 10 years anniversary cup
Update:
Cup webpage online - http://clanbase.ggl.com/news_league.php?lid=12100
Shifting from a 1 day cup to a multiweek cup.
----------
On September 17, 2001 Return to Castle Wolfenstein mp test 1 came out with mp_beach as the very first map. This means the game is going hit the 10 year mark on Saturday 17 sept 2011. This demands an anniversary celebration.
I've saw some early plans on CrossFire.nu forums about people talking about an anniversary cup, however nothing really came out of that. I'm not expecting any miracles and also not expecting any wonders. But let's make something out of it. I need YOU, yes YOU to help me realising this. But let me come back on that a little later. Here below is the idea and what i've already done.
The idea:
Cup start on 25 september 2011.
Cup is just 1 evening/day.
However there is a slight posibility that it could start 1 week earlier.
Bring atleast 2 RtCW teams as a showmatch.
However, if there are many signups... a small tournament with 3 to a max of 8 teams.
The classic rules with classic maps:
Teams:
6 players (max 1 panzerfaust)
Mode:
Stopwatch:
ABBA ABBA
Maps:
mp_beach
mp_base
mp_assault
mp_ice
mp_village
Cup rules details, got to work that out later.
Even though it's still far away and there could be changes in the current crew; i've contacted these people personally and they all agreed.. however, It's deffo not a 100% promise yet. Atleast I know that they will try their best to keep this date clear and they are happy i'm so early with this. So people could actually plan things ahead. Remember, we are 10 years older as well! Some have kids, married.. work etc.

All looks good Ins0mnia, but what do you require from me?
Well, obviously we need teams, teams of 6 players. SPAM THIS on community webpages, gaming news webpages.. etc etc, if you know RTCW players. Bring them! If you know how to find the OLD players, DO so! Inform them and tell them about the RTCW Cup.
You've got a wolf server?
Would you please contact me!
You've got streaming capabilities?
Yes? You have? Then talk to me please!
You want to play at the cup?

WarWitch ''The legend'' (Former TSN)

cool =o
pmme on #seareal avi for team
I honestly don't know what the general point of view is.
1x allday rtcw & 1x rtcw and et 2003&2004
played online 1x few months ago without a key.
so i have no idea how its played thies days
WarWitch <3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su9Q9lHq34k
If we get 2 usa teams, perhaps even a seperate tournament? I'm just throwing a ball here.
will keep reading this topic ^^
We are a bit older now, heck we are adults (shocking), we do have scedules.. sometimes those scedules collide with things. As since I find it important to have people like WarWitch in our mids. He entertained us during BoB1/2, ClanBase EuroCups, QuakeCon 2002, CAL and mucho more....
I would say, an anniversary cup without WarWitch? Nein, herr commandant does not agree. I rather postpone something 1 week, then go without ''The legend''.
But anyway, do those 8 days really matter THAT much to you that you had to cry about it?
I couldn't care less which date it is, simply pointed it out because it's the first thing one notices when reading this journal. But obviously the only thing that's pointed out is that this cup needs (an)other admin ;-]
there should be +-5 teams able to play right as of now - for more teams you really have to be into it and motivate people.
servers and streams weren't much of a problem last cups i believe, also there are no-cd key servers around...
The question is, do I get enough motivated people to be there for more then one day? If so, I'm willing to put more effort into that.
fag.
A normal groupstage cup from september to november would be awesome
It's your choice, but for anything less than 6 weeks I prolly wont be getting a team.
good idea, I might be available... Any daily activity at RtCW pubs? :o
my team: ezbash is avi for the cup (or in any other form)
Awesomeness.
FUCK YEAH.
We'll see how much activity there will be after summer, probably loads more than now :)
Im sure youll get lots of help from rtcw people if theres enough interest, ambition and interest in the cup.
But of course, [flag=??;)] fixed will be in. ;)
Ramzi, Refuse, Jehuty, syL.. feels like 2003 all over again!
but i doubt i can run up the beach and go get the docs at this age :p
Will try tho >_<
pf-1man-specialist looking for clan!
Darkie didn't have time for anything this spring [X]
Darkie has time for loads of paly paly hopefully now? [X]
Ill try my best to contact any good "new school players 2006-2009" ;P
ofc im 100 percent avi for this, but if everybody helps in giving this message through, we can expect to have something better than a 1 day cup, (which i hate cuz u have to play whole day-.-) so i agree with Mly in making some weeks long.
4 all ppl who dosent know wher to download here u have the all 1.4 pack.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GT5RNUGS
just download it and start to play. no need pacthes or other shits.
4 cfg i ask better players to put here theyr cfgs or links 4 them.
rtcw had thousends of players and lots of ppl buyed the game wich means that cd keys still work. in my case i tryed the rtcw key generator (included in the pack) and after 5 or 6 key i got one wich worked. dunno if it was luck or not.
when u start the game it will be very hard to find servers with ppl and if thers ppl probably they will be scriming already.BUT stills very easy to find teams to play against. specially 3o3
join #rtcw.wars and ask or just say ur avi and prolly some one will contest u. of corse im talking about 20 21 and 22 cet.. mor or less then that will be very hard
if u just want to try the game without having this searching stuff i recommend 1.0 no cd key needed
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EVO5ND15
wierdly this mode still have some few servers with ppl 24 hours per day but i need to advise you the game type is really different from1.4. mainly DM and really stupit game speeds. still its good to improve ur aim.
so if some one is making a new team PM me on irc or here. cya
AND INCLUDE FROSTBITE ON MAPS FFS
No.
The reasons behind this has been stated before and are rather obivious.
1. A lot of the retired players really dont know the map. Wouldn't be fair to them and would disencourage the oldies.
2. Our coverage people never casted on that map. Would be a rather dull shoutcast.
Look, this cup is to satisfy the old feelings, not what has been done last 2/3 years. But rather as the start of the first 2/3 years.
but kk
However, we did already allow it on the ladders tho. But most top teams weren't interested in a new map because QuakeCon 2003 didn't support it.
and you forgot one game that swallowed many players :-D fucking shitty WoW ^^
please correct me if I'm wrong ;c!!
...most of mysod/amnesia split to CoD (Blaze, Zemme & Darv) (Mysod.cod) The other part went to ET (mysod.et), Dolt, Vas and Me. After the .et dev got kicked, we started to play in the first EuroCup in ET under the name Amnesia / .@:.
Source; check group d: - we dropped out shamefully: http://clanbase.ggl.com/news_league.php?lid=1365 - this was the most regretable thing we ever did as a clan.
RTCW lost his EuroCup status back in spring 2004, because to many teams disbanded and players quiting the game. Everyone has their own story for it.
However after a few months some people gave up on CoD and ET and rejoined the RTCW scene. That was also the reason to return with an EC to RTCW in 2004 fall. However, non of the original RTCW amnesia players returned.
But ill be honest I dont know what happend to the twins Titan & Maximus, Panzer Psycho Grandpa dissapeared from earth, Krekc quit and frog I cannot remember.
Ofcourse there could be some former members such as Ramzi, Apache, Jehuty.. however I have no direct traces what happend after they got kicked/left the clan.
This is just one example of a team, yes ofcourse in spring 2004 there where still some players around. But it wasn't as strong as in 2002 and 2003.
fuck wow indeed, it was the final blow to RTCW. (but it also ripped CS 1.6 apart)
Anyway, titan still continued to play for average clans till 2005/2006, maximus no ideas, I think the last time I heard of him, it was christmas 2004. "Panzer psycho grandpa" ? you meant PsychO ? ;o I didn't personally know the others !
- Working on a partnership for hosting the tournament. This is rather important for me, makes it much easier to communicate and to deligate then a website forum.
- Working on a sponsorship as we speak (prices motivate people!), i'm not allowed to reveal any detailed info about that yet.
IRC Channel?
End of june live.

Now where did I put that Wolfenstein-install CD...
:D
I wouldn't mind playing with Verdiend (V!) a match or two..
Hopefully the boys are still alive.. ;)
P.S. Hey osi, been a while :)
'L0,
1.0 doesn't require unique serial so we also patched 1.4 and works without problem. Only downfall of it was, while you could run PB without any problems, PB had to have disabled banned master list. Otherwise all public serials where banned by PB so anyone using public serial passed initial key check but got booted by PB. So basically side effect is, that anyone that had a busted cd key could still play, but of course if he was cheating and hack was recognized by PB he would still get booted out as patch didn't interfere with actual PB checks.
Generally 1.4 community didn't accept it (reasonably) but since this is a rear occasion and it's reasonable that some may lost their serials over time, it's an alternative. That way anyone can play regardless of serial. Of course that's really up to you, and if you're willing to accept the trade.
If you're up for it send me a PM and I'll see if I still have patch laying here or if others have it, alternatively we can crack it once more as it doesn't take long really, just disabling few checks... :)
If any other questions shout here.
