Default 0v0 Tournament

Taking team signups. Place your bets on which team has the willpower to spectate the longest! There will be no bots to amuse you. The rounds will be best out of 5 for preliminaries, and best of 7 for the finals. Double elimination also.

EDIT: Registered Teams: Ball, T.C., L*, $E, FN, IL (||) KLF | ACE

Joke topic. Admit it, you lol'd.

You will need periodic tests to see if a player is AFK or not.

Maybe they could type 10 characters every 10 seconds? Less than 10 chars would be grounds for disqualification.

I think we should totally ban the usage of rubber hull for this.

It just forces everyone to use it by its simple presence, and anyone not using it is greatly disadvantaged. I think everyone realizes that. Seriously, rubber hull imba.
So I propose we forbid the usage of this perk so there is a greater variety of green perks used in this tournament.

Who's with me ?

Are we allowed to change our controls so that something other than F causes us to spawn? Like ~?

No, they could easily bot that. You need to have them do something a robot can' t do. Let them answer riddles or judge if someone is hot or not.

Alright, playerlist updated.

Also, you can set a server to kick people for idling out after a given period of time correct?

The competition looks fierce. I'd say we're good for a 5th seed, just above $E.

And is this going to be hard walls or bouncy walls spectating? I need to prep my crew. Thx!

After much discussion with my team and hours of training I feel we are prepared to enter the 0v0 tournament. I believe with the combination of my whispering abilities and my team's friendly, chill (but dominant) attitude we will definitely pose a threat to the other teams out there.

Judging from the competition we may have to whip out the alcohol special abilities that some of my team members have *cough ufo and texas cough* in order to really confuse our opponents.

I wish you all luck in this fierce battle.

How did i see this thread so late?!

My team team and i are in! Im going to put myself out on a limb but as this is a 0v0 tourney i think adopting a 'no perk' strategy will work.

Can we also ban the big bomb as well, i think this will add to the dramatics of this long-awaited mind game tourney.

Also im in with the sammies <3 on this one, Triple distilled Polish Vodka on standby ^^
