UPDATE: The event is setting up right now! Get the IP & port from the Discord server, available here!

Hi everyone,

The third round of OMNI vs. CEONSS (or OMNI-CEONSS Inter-Server due to mixed teams) is now tentatively scheduled for October 20th at 3:00 PM EDT (19:00 UTC). To determine how many people are interested, I decided to make a thread on here instead of the first thread in the Servers/Forums/Policies subforum. If people are interested in playing at this time, send a reply to this post. I'll keep this first post up to date with who's signed in. The "signups" are only to determine how many players we will have for the match. I plan to wait until September 29th or October 6th, and then choose maps based on how many people we have.

UPDATE:

With a number of signups now had, we are tentatively having a cap of 6 players per team. Fors has volunteered to captain one team, and I'll be captaining the other team unless someone one else wants to do the honors of map choosing (& possible in game captaining). A number of players (2 or 3) from each server will be drafted over to the other captain's team to suppress ping advantage.

Current list (Updated Oct 18th):

OMNI:

Confirmed

Analog and Carpe both haven't been on the forums since July. The CEONSS admins are alive and kicking though, so we will be hosting this on the CEONSS Event Server. We'll mix the OMNI and CEONSS players so that the ping disadvantage isn't too bad for either team.

I penciled it in. But it won't take much for real life activities to take priority...but I should be good to go though.

I'm in

I will join this battle.

Glad to have you on, Colbye. I added you (and everyone else here who signed up) onto the roster.

Also, I penned a draft on the rules for this match. You can view it through this link:

Dayum that's official looking!

Alternate idea: Keep the teams server vs server and let the team with the high ping choose all the maps and get home field advantage?

If analog or Carpe were around, I would've considered that idea. But even if they were around, having everyone play with 100 ping against people who have less makes it harder to feel like it's a fair fight. It's a bit late to change that up now, I think. I'll PM analog and Carpe anyways to see if they're still around.

If you wanna catch Carpe, just check in on the freon server around 5:30 or 6 daily. He plays there most days around that time.

Bait him with a steak.

I am out. I have to work that day.

Hi everyone, relaying an update that I put on the CEONSS forums:

Fors and I are working on getting maps chosen at the moment. The current selections are as follows:

Showcase Map: Not determined

CEONSS Maps:
ONS-AbandonedCity-Sed-V3-C
ONS-RapaNui

OMNI Maps: Two of the following three maps:
ONS-AlienHop-Tropical-Beta2
ONS-Denum-Turbo)K(-V4
ONS-Tyrant-)o(-Renovation-V1

Vanilla Map: Not determined

A map pack containing the OMNI maps and their dependencies is available, and is available through the link below:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ww48jh6hkw..._Maps.zip?dl=0

This was compiled manually, so some dependencies may be missing.

CEONSS Maps can be downloaded as part of the CEONSS Map Pack.

Ah well. Let's hope we can get another one of these going in less than a year. Hopefully you'll be able to partake then!

I tried following instructions, and here's what happened:

>The overall event will take 2-3 hours, depending on how long the rounds end up lasting. All maps chosen will be played (or forfeited) if possible, even if it is impossible for one team to win the match.

What’s the timeout between rounds? I’d also suggest a slightly longer timeout after an hour.

I wasn't actually planning on there being any large timeout. We were able to operate without a large one the last time we did this (around 30 seconds - 1 minute). We could have a 5-10 minute break before the 2nd OMNI/CEONSS map. Does that sound good to you?

After an hour my butt gets numb. 10 minutes every hour sounds better to me. Time to get another beer, have a smoke, take a piss, check who is texting me, ya know, all that stuff that nobody does (or doesn't admit to) while in-game, haha!

-All hands on deck soldier, Ooh-rah!

Nah, I'd say play straight through. I'd also recommend a set short time between matches... last time we waited until everyone said they were ready before each match and we waited for quite a while at times for a match to start.

Get a cushion McLovin! And stock a cooler of beer next to your desk, open the window for the smoke and use a catheter with a 2 liter bottle.

Last time the whole thing barely lasted an hour because we got our asses handed to us with the terrible ping discrepancy. May be a different story this time with mixed OMNI/CEONSS teams though.

I asked the CEONSS people the same question, and it seems that I totally forgot the "start when everyone's ready" method we did last time. I guess we can stick with that.

Also, per a server chat yesterday, bunnyfoofoo will be the final OMNI player on the roster. Will still be looking for subs, as life happens.

Regarding match things, we are getting maps finalized, and the full roster will be available tomorrow. VoIP will probably be on Discord again, unless anyone has strong objections to using that as a platform.

Thank GAWD somebody left on this server has GTKY BALLS, tell it like it is.
