I hardly dare to ask,but.... speedround???

As I am not on irc much anymore, I'd like some more news about the promised speedround. a couple of months (!) ago we started talking about it, it looked really promising a few weeks ago, but now I can't find anything about it anymore..

is there going to be one?
if yes, this year?

btw, no flaming allowed, this is serious..

thx for your time and info on forehand,

[R6B]Rudmer

Re: I hardly dare to ask,but.... speedround???

I believe the date's currently "penciled in" rather than 100% certain.

Once the date's confirmed by Jolt's head honcho specific info will be given. Wouldn't start worrying yet tho, signups shouldn't take a week to run their course, so i'd not expect to see them before the weekend.

Don't cry too much rudmer, there's plans for more than one game :P

Re: I hardly dare to ask,but.... speedround???

Rudmer. shhhhhhhhh

7/8 will be the first of more speedrounds.. I can't attend 7/8 either, but i'm relaxing till final dates. Imho there needs to be at least 1 month time between announcement and the weekend. So that will be the end of february. Spinner is making changes, these changes need to be tested before implemented and active in a speedround. This cost also some time. I hope for 21/22 februari if PA-Team announce it before end of january.

We talk on IRC.........

Re: I hardly dare to ask,but.... speedround???

Much like the World Cup there will be a series of speedgame weekends with x number of gals from each going through to a final which will be held after all the qualifying weekends.

Re: I hardly dare to ask,but.... speedround???

Well, that sounds pretty ok then.. But indeed, like rudmer said, it still has to be a bit exclusive. If you run a speedround every week, it ain't fun anymore, since not all people will focus on one speedround. It would suck if you play 1, lose and think oh what the ****, i play next and win it. Then it ain't really motivating.

I'm curious about the plans, but be carefull with it. It can make or break it all.

Heh, we're just doing 3 now, so people can have some fun again. Most people shoudl be able to play in 1 of the 3 weekends we hope. (Or 2 for that matter!)

Re: I hardly dare to ask,but.... speedround???

Spinner, on one side I love you...

On the other side....

It's to short notice,
I can't play at 7/8 and 14/15 and i'm sure off all players I did the most to get a speedround ready(apart from PA-team). Also it's hard to set-up good stuff within a week time for the first speedround.

I really love to play the second one, but really really can't nooooooooooo

So I will attend only at the third, and i'm the biggest speedfan there is.
Also, there will be cov ops? And 10 per gal?.....

K, nm, speedround is there. And it's all that matters!

Re: I hardly dare to ask,but.... speedround???

7/8 is like way too early to get time off work and stuff (it's sad.. but i got a job these days )

14th is valentine's day? mebbe none of you got a life:/ but some others do guys:/ (strangely enough that includes me too these days)

21/22 is a very small possibility, guess we'll have too... even tho i think i gotta go to birthdays..:S and i know several others of r6b have to do stuff aswell:/
so kinda crappy dates to do em so soon

further you should really divide em over more time next time:/ now you'll have like 3 games where there will be 100 peeps playing... instead of 1 where you'll get 300:/ which is loads more fun really... and more of a challenge

Re: I hardly dare to ask,but.... speedround???

For those who wanne know.

R6B only plays the last one, since all other date's are impossible for most people. 21/22 is also impossible for a lot of dutchies, cause it's carnaval. But those other 2 are really not done!

Can't really blame PA-Team, but damn, how many times did i say ANNOUNCE IT EARLY FFS!
Ofc you can arrange a gal and people within a week. But cancel appointments, get free from work etc... Reschedule valentine's day... Those stuff takes time Which we ain't have now.....

Sorry about the timing, but I was brought on to make things happen fast, and so I did.
