Reunion Cup Week 7

by Battery on January 18, 2013 at 7:17 am

 

This week in Reunion Cup: Week 7

I apologize for not writing last reunioncup predictions, I was kinda busy. But now I’m able to do it again, so wait for it! Much have happened since last reunioncup prediction. Mostly unfortunate stuff, like lots of unplayed games and top of that we have lost two of our clans. FuBaR and pr0/ announced that they can’t participate to reunioncup any longer due inactivity. That’s shame guys, hope to see you in next cup though.

 

 

Standings:

1.[StN] = Stalinets
2. iN = Ikke No
3. pA! = Pure Action

Week 7 matchups:
LoL^ vs kK>>
_kokst vs c2’
a5k’ vs =GD=
pA! vs [MC]
[DUEL] vs si.
[e] vs iN

Transferweek!

by Durden on January 15, 2013 at 8:13 am

Transferweek will be held from Monday the 28th of January to Sunday the 3rd of February. This is the week clans can sign players from participating clans.

 

Some basic ground rules have been made by me, Durden.

* Both the captain requesting the transfer, and the player involved will have to talk to me about the transfer.

* The player in question is only able to play for ONE of the clans that week. If he already played a match for his previous team, he can not play for his new team before the next round.

* A list will be made of all the transfers.

* A team can only sign 3 new players. This is easily to stop a clan  from raising a whole new team. 

* This week is the last transferweek before the playoffs, so if you are having troubles playing, sign some players! 

* You are allowed to sign free-agents ALL the time.  

* You can also change ONE of your maps is your rotation.

<->

And a reminder to all players and clans about the basic feature of the league. First of all, play your god damn matches in time. Don’t come around whining to admins or referees on a cold sunday afternoon about the opponent not showing up. If we, the admins, are not aware of problems BEFORE Sunday, you guys are fucked.

The rules about referees in game are now changed in the rule-section!!! As Hirchart wrote so good in an earlier post, there’s no need for a babysitter while playing. If you have problems, you talk to us on irc WITHOUT QUITTING THE SERVER.

THE HOMETEAMS CAPTAIN HAVE TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS FROM THE SCORE ON BOTH MAPS. If not done the proper way (as in screenshotjpg should be so fucking difficult), we will be all hulk up in your ass!

Peace out, Durden.

Week 6 Notes

by Hirchart on January 14, 2013 at 10:46 am

Round 6 was a big disappointment. A lot of clans got their points from walkovers.

 

I guess a lot of clans didn’t plan their matches properly or were unable to get 4 players in time. Like we’ve stated before, try to play (or at least plan) your matches BEFORE Sunday evening to avoid these kinds of problems. And if you haven’t had any response from your opponent in the entire week, let us know at either #aq2referees or #reunioncup so we know what’s up. If you contact us at the very last moment it seems like you were slacking as well (and we might give both teams 0 points). We cannot verify if you had been asking your opponent the entire time. If you got a complaint let us know in time. Otherwise teams can just make sure they have 4 on Sunday evening and pray their opponent hasn’t. Easy 8 points, wouldn’t it? We don’t want that to happen.

 

Another dissapointment is the withdrawal from clan professionals. Misse contacted me earlier this week that he wasn’t able to mobilize ‘his’ players.
We’ve deceided that they will NOT be replaced. All clans that still had to face them will get +8 points (consider yourself lucky! ;-) since they were doing pretty solid, like usual). That very week the game was planned will be an ‘off-week’ for those teams.

 

There’s also been some confusion around the referees. But to make it all clear: You don’t need a referee at your match anymore. The MVD records everything anyway. If you got any suspicion of cheating  you can always contact an admin or referee. The only thing we request is that both teams make screenshots of the scores. Upload them somewhere (on tinypic.com, for instance) and post the links in the #aq2referees channel.

 

Next week is round 7! Matches that are supposed to be played (and I hope you all will this time!):
LoL^ vs kK’
_kokst vs c2′
a5k’ vs =GD=
pA! vs [mc]
[DUEL] vs .si
[e] vs iN
[StN] vs Ice#
O’ vs FuBaR:

 

>fs> will have a week off as they should have been playing pr0. They will get +8.
I also request Battery to write some wonderful predictions for this round again! And I put this here to put some extra social pressure on him ;-)

 

That’s all for now.

Happy New Year!

by Hirchart on December 31, 2012 at 4:43 am

I hope you all had a great Christmas with family and friends last week! And I hope you’ll also have a great night tonight with family and friends!

 

In Action Quake 2 terms let’s all hope we have a nice active year with lots of fun and fragging. Halfway 2012 it really seemed the game would die within the timeframe of a year but I am pretty sure this won’t be the case. The game really revived and I still see new clans popping up on public, which brings a smile to my face.

 

As far as the league is concerned, week 5 can still be finished until the 7th of January!

 

And last but not least, watch the hands with those fireworks! We don’t wanna see you lose any of those precious fingers you need for that ACTION!

 

Happy New Year! And all the best wishes for 2013.
- Hirchart and the entire adminteam!

Interview with fuppet from #extacy

by Durden on December 24, 2012 at 5:18 am

Heya fellows! I will, during the league, do a little round of chitchat with the clans captains about the league.

 

First out is extacys feared sniper,  fuppet.

 

- What was your expectations when you decided to join the reunioncup?

<fuppet> My expectations were and still are too bring the cup home where it belongs! Apart from that I never expect this activity back in the scene again with all the oldschool players coming back! Makes me a happy panda.
