Ironically the day paladin posted his jive me and flgator put it to him and his random partner.

Ha, Ha, Ha. Are you talking about me?

Do you guys seriously have that low of an opinion of me?

FYI, that guy really sucked so bad (he was actually green with only 2 matches ever under his belt and he told me he lost in an easy cpu skirmish). He also did not understand the term "victory point". He went off and did his own thing and so when your tanks rolled out... he did not even have one pak gun, any you would have seen were mine but obviously that isn't enough. Anyway, with a decent partner I reckon we would have had the initiative :D. You only won because you two worked better as a team (There).

I am so happy Red is back :). Thats the real reason for posting and to also say keep up the good work guys :D. I'll be pulling for all you.

Do you know whats happening?

I think vonklaus and I are almost ready to dominate this tournament. Our tactics have become a lot more "interesting."  Funny how we were known on coho, yet are sucking hind titties on this game. Thats ok, we are becoming formidable at the right time. I appreciate the low resouce games.... will keep me from lagging as bad and allow my partner and I to be more accurate with the grenades. 

Afrer we beat killar, apeman and subglimz in subsequent matches, what type of prize do we get?  From you German's I would like 1-2 super fine german dimepiece strippers. From everyone else, money is fine.

I'll give $100 each to the winning team! (Taken from the losing team, of course. ;D)

Let's be fair here. Everyone elses chance on winning depends on how well (bad) my partner plays :P. JK

I'm really looking forward to some good organised matches.

there werent as many good players on COHO as there is on vanilla. COHO community was mainly total noobs with a few curious vcoh vets mixed in

so are we playing this weekend or when? and are the matchups on first page still in place? Also I think Malijou be added to map list for tourney.

the list is not up to date, evilspike should update it. I'd also vote for Grodno to be added.

Where can we find out what map we are playing on for the first round?  My partner and I would like to practice that map a few times.

Can Maxiking and I play earlier than 8AM eastern? I have a plan to catch at 10AM and the airport is about an hour away

Yeah, it would be nice if the teams could decide on which map they'll be playing or at least to know which map is selected for the fight (I'm fine with every 2v2 map I think). Maybe evilspike could arrange this, I'd also like to practice.

if dennis team can also play on this time there is no problem

if not i ask one of the other team if they would swap

I'd like to participate in the Tourney if its still possible.

RedGuard is still without a partner.

I can play  :D always wanted to take part in this :)

so i added darcreaver and redguard as one team

but if i had seen right cephalos needs a partner

someone want to play with him in a team?

c'mon, we gonna own 'em all  :P

Go Red and Darcreaver!

You and your opponent decide the map you want to play. You could play all 3 rounds on Rails and Metal if you wanted to.

Which map do we want then, Dennis and Cranial?

Is there still time to join ?
I would love to play,but no partner  :-\

You can be with Cep

I like Grodno to be honest. I think dennis would agree but he likes Rails and Metal too.

But i have no idea about those Gmt times i get soo lost about it :S?
Can some 1 tell me when that is with my time  ???

We'd need to know your timezone. For instance mine is GMT+10.

Pariah, were you serious about the prize money?  ::)

If you're in central Europe it should be right.

Yeah, but i'll need the losers to give me their addresses, so i can go and take it off them. ;D

In all seriousness though, if Eastern Front wants to do a unreal tournament, i wouldn't mind offering prize money, but i have to know if the game is balanced enough first for that. From what i've been reading lately, it looks like the latest relic and Eastern Front patches are quite buggy, so i think it needs more polish first. ;)

Oh come on, buy yourself a new PC! Giving me the money (Which would be fantastic...need a new PC, could start my own fund) is less important than you getting yourself one ;)

I'm saving more or less $100-$200 a fortnight, and i still have a few hundred left over each fortnight, so i can spare it. ;)

How much time is left until the tournament starts, guys? I'm kind of disturbed by all the posts with different times.

5 1/2 hours I guess...

Which time :P . My battle will start for 8 hours. 16.00 GTM if im not wrong.

Isn't the start time 12:00GMT? That makes it 10pm here in Australia which is now in 5 hours.

Thank you, Dennis.

It is impossible for me to play at 12 GMT. Our match must be moved earlier or later :( Again, I have to catch a plane and must be leaving for the airport by that time.

And I can't play earlier because I'm not at home yet..

Also, the tournament will go for several rounds and several games per round. Could take awhile to get through everyone. So I take it you're out then :S.

I'm moving to a new location today...Earlier won't work for me either. Can we try sunday? I'm sorry :(

if im not totaly wrong our match starts in ~ 4,5 hours

@Cranialwizard
I keep my fingers crossed that you find a way to play the match

if this would help everyone we can change the tournament to only the 2 matches a day and the next one is on the next day. then cranialwizards team had the chance to make thair match before the next will start

No, why not just have the 1st round span through saturday-sunday? That way anyone who can't play at the specific time can make it, and those who do advance into the new rounds can have some more time to prep?

I won't have any time to play today unless we start a match within the next 5 minutes and/or play late at night for my time, which won't fare well with other timezones. (GMT -5)

So.. tomorrow then? Which time?

I have a suggestion - what if we create teams/opponents who live in timezones which make starting a game at a good time easier? Maybe like a European round, an American round and an Australian round (doesn't have to be exactly this, just to prevent people of three entirely different time zones playing against each other/together).

Late night for your timezone is actually the middle of the day tomorrow for me and my partner. So are we happy with playing the first round over this weekend and having other rounds for the people who get through throughout the next week? I guess there's really no reason for us to have a speedy tournament :P. As long as we organise times that suit us where we can sit down and play 2-3 matches we can knock over this tourney in a couple days.

If the tourney gets re-drawn or re organized for some reason, try to squeeze me in.  ;D

Agreed, as long as Maxi is ok with this.

Ok, late night Eastern Time means early morning for me. That's strange but fits. I will go earlier to bed today then. I'm all right with that.
