Competive Community: An Attempt at Restoration
Comments
-
This is an attempt at reconstructing any sort of respectable competitive community, however futile that attempt may be. I realize this is a basic copy thread of CF Invite, however that went the wrong way, as Pubstar wanted to make it exclusive. I'm aiming for a complete encompassment of the entire competitive community that exists in CF, whoever impossible that may be.

Due to the fact that I'm tired of the pathetic excuse for a competitive community we currently posses, I'm trying to connect clans and create a common respect for each other.
Rules
If you request a scrim with any clan/team on this list, the rules are as follows:
- Follow scrim format. This means either one of 2 formats, CBT or WOGL.CBT:- No trash talking. Like, at all. Even if you're 18-0, all trash talking does is make the loser not want to play again. The only mm1ing you should do is complimentary things, such as "ns," or asking a question.
- 5v5
- No Scar Lite
- No ZP aquired weapons whatsoever (By this I mean things like Silver AK, M4 Custom, etc.)
- No armour
- No SPOP
- 7 OR 5 game format, each team picks a map and you play both halves.
WOGL:
- Standard WOGL rules.
- No hacking. (NOWAI????)
Hacking prevention, is, as it will always be, an issue.
If you suspect a clan/team/player you're playing is hacking, the xFire one of the admins with a replay. If we a) get multiple complaints about the team/clan/player, and/or b) find something suspicious in the replay, then we will request that the clan/team/player run a recording program.
A free, non-watermarked one is located here: http://www.***ory.com/home-en.html
EDIT: I realize the link has been blocked, that is because it has the name of a known hacking site.
Please xFire me for the recorder if you would like it.
In my experience, ***ory provides very little to no FPS lag while playing. If you are requested to record, and you find that you are lagging, I'll be happy to provide assistance in fixing an FPS lag issue.
If you suspect any team to be using armour, please request that, upon their next spawn, take a screenshot of their screen while showing the scoreboard. Also take a screenshot of your request, just in case conflict arises.
Punishment.
If a player knowingly uses any restricted item/weapon, they will be given a strike. Like baseball, 3 strikes and you're out.
If a clan/team has 3 players removed from CFComp, they are given a 2 week ban. During this time I would hope that any members would refrain from scrimming them, however it is obviously beyond my control.
Ping Limitation.
Ping will, like hacking, always be an issue with this game. Ping will be limited to under 180 ping. If you sit at 175 and occasionally rise to something just above 180, that's fine, however tolerance stops at multiple rises above 190.
If you/your clan wishes to be a part of this, please apply at
http://www.xfire.com/communities/cfcomp/
with your clan name in its application.
Also, I do need admins. Please xFire colossalkoala if you are a part of this and wish to help even more.
Thanks for your time. If you have any rule change suggestions, or support this, please post below.
I sorta like this idea. I'll see what my clan members think and get back to ya. -
Did a few practice casts. Possible and everything, video works perfect. We just don't have an amazing voice to listen too. They wont listen to my pleas. Hopefully something works out.[MOD]Bruce wrote: »WOGL totally took a dump on my chest. I don't think they've broadcasted a single game. -

Perhaps there are some other ideas we can work with to find meeting spots for the serious competitive players.
you have to have these players first
Echo 8 and Alpha 7 are probably the two meeting spots currently, but even then the players blow most of the time. -
CA almost has it, completely different game/company, but the idea is there. The idea is, have a few rooms or channels designed for either WOGL/Competitive play. These rooms will not be like the Beta Clan server and won’t be based on that, but more towards the way matches are played now in WOGL.[GM]Saidin wrote: »let me know if that helped or hurt this! :P
Perhaps there are some other ideas we can work with to find meeting spots for the serious competitive players.- Players can join in at any time. (Helps when a client crashes, ect.)
- Restrictions are set towards weapons, ect.
- Automatically switches at half-time.
- Third-person disabled.
- Scoring based on regular rooms. (Echo 8 scrims for example.)
I can make a thread about it to see what response we get from the community? -

Good stuff man. I like that. -

I visit E8 sometimes, but they are all PW locked. Then I go to A7, but only the rooms with azn characters have good players. -
Well, it says the OP is banned.. so we need someone else to take his place.

This sounds like a great idea. We should push for it. -
Hello,
Briefly read some of the above post.
Love some of the ideas being thrown around here.
The challenge gets my heart pumping. I'm not in a clan and always try to choose the side with fewest clan members. Playing the role of the underdog is more rewarding than being a part of the 'zerg'.
Hoping as this moves forward it's not restricted to only clans.

There is a very simple solution to creating a more competitive community, and that is reducing the size that clans can be. It probably won't be popular, but it will force skill to be spread across more clans, and increase competitiveness. Clans really don't need to be able to have more than 32 users.

Lol @ 32 o_O -

I agree. To me it seems that there was never really a solid base of a competitive community here. Yes, there are a select few honest competitive teams. However, I don't think there has been enough time given for this game to grow into what it could be. This community just needs to give it a chance, instead of shooting it down before it starts.
