Hey boys and girls
Dipset and I have come up with an idea (hopefully not used).
We were just messing around and we changed map to soccer1. Man was it fun. We played for 30 Min's or so and we were just having a blast.
So we thought that we would try and make a league for soccer. I could make some maps, and some other people could volunteer to make some other soccer maps.
Rules for clans who be as follows:
1. You can use your current clan for soccer.
2. You can make two separate clans. One for real paintball and the second for soccer
Maps will be similar to home and away. You can have your own clan create a map which would be "Home". Home people would get an advantage because they get ONE extra man on the field for HALF of the match. Also full 5v5 matches are worth 2 points. Ties are 1 point
There will be 5 players on the field. Your clan may organize defense and offense and who plays goalie. You can either have all on offense, or all on defense
or separated evenly.
Shots are allowed, but there will be a limit of 35 paintballs, without co2
*NOTICE*
ABOVE RULE HAS BEEN CHANGED
There will also be two ref's present. One at each side of the field. They will be picked randomly. These people must be on paintball a lot of the time.
Also, if some server providers could donate one or two of there servers, that would be GREATLY appreciated. I know i will have mine up.
*Special Matches*
Yes, i do realize its hard to get 7 people to a game, who are on line.
So, what will happen is this:
Special matches can be 2v2, 3v3 or anything your heart desires. BUT! these games will only be worth 1 point, while the full 5v5 games are worth 2. The higher the points a team has, the better the team.
If one team has 5 players, while the other has 3 then this will then turn into a 3v3, and the team with 5 will have two subs. The team with 3 does NOT have to sub. Games are still worth 1 point
Half point for ties (ONLY IN SPECIAL MATCHES)
Rules (All rules apply except for subbing and players for Special Matches):
1. You must do a rotation at half wether its one player or two players.
2. You must have at least 7 players at the match
3. Shooting is allowed *change*
4. Matches must be 20 Min's long
5. Must have 5 players on field, unless home advantage
This is just an idea, and I'd love for it to be put into action.
Please tell me if I'm missing anything.
Mappers: Silly
Refs:
Servers:
The irc channel is #dpsoccer
Player Signup:
Whoever sign's up will be put into a random clan. First, we have to find some clans that will want to do this. I have made a clan called DPSB (Digital Paint Soccer Ballers)
Whoever would like to join so you can tryout this idea, is fully welcomed
It also does not matter how many clans are in this league, as long as there is enough for it to be fun, and enough to play. I would ask that you atleast try this idea if you are interested.
-
This is arguably the most absurd idea I have ever heard.
-
Allow shots and it "might" be okay..
-
If I'm not mistaken, Germans had soccer legaue/cup. Maybe you could talk to Terrorist about that.
-
Home people would get an advantage because they get ONE extra man on the field for HALF of the match.
???
-
Yes, we had a soccer cup at our first birthday.
atm we make a new build of the otb_soccer map, to fix some problems.
-
If I'm not mistaken, Germans had soccer legaue/cup. Maybe you could talk to Terrorist about that.
That was a good cup. BUT it only had 1 shot per round so it was boring. By shots I mean that you can push the player and the ball and not kill players.
-
no, shots are horrible. The current setup on OTB Soccer is ok i guess, nothing more than that tho.
-
So.... should we go through this more? orr?
-
This is arguably the most absurd idea I have ever heard.
Agreed.
That would be a huge waste of time. Dont even bother guys.
-
i think it could be a good idea. maybe
-
Agreed.
That would be a huge waste of time. Dont even bother guys.
You can't say it would be a bad idea, if you never tryed it. So, don't get ahead of yourself.
-
Maybe he wants Digital Paintball American Football League...or should I say Digital Paintball American Football World Series Super Bowl
-
Thanks edge.
You should play with a freind. It is very fun.
-
Hmmm.... might want to make it if they only have 3 and the other team has 5 it will just be 3v5 still 2 points (1 for tie) since that would make it worse for the team with 5 players since if they would've won anyways they would have lost a point.
-
or.. it could be a 3v3 with subs.
Im gonna change it so that you dont need to sub for special match
-
well, i love soccer, and playing soccer 1 in DP is definately fun, but to have a league, i don't think you will have enough people to play, not that its a bad idea. Why don't you just have "soccer only servers" like the OTB soccer server. a bunch of those plus a bunch of new Pong (soccer) maps could be fun.

Thanks edge.

The thing is I used to play on soccer server, always had a great fun there.
So, I still recommend to talk to Terrorist about that, maybe he has some new ideas and he organised it before.
-
Well, i will talk to Terrorist.
I think that maybe i could cut down the the clans to do it. Or however many people want to play. I just think that making it a bit more competitive would make it more fun. Thanks for the tips guys
-
The DP clan scene is so horrible, how on earth are you going to get a soccer league going?
-
I think that idea could go into play.What i meen is I like that idea and it could work out for all the noobs who can't play paintball, but are good at soccer.It also is a new strategic way to match in scrim in the Pb world.Go for it Silly. :D
Quote: yet once again darkness has a rude comment and puts an idea down.That's mean, jeese just lighten up a little man.
-
We'll find a away.
-
Would be awesome to have carpathian pong :D
-
haha!
Apoco, if you want, i can make you league superviser/co convernor :)
-
Sounds like a good idea apoc, i would actually play that. By the way i think this is a good idea making a soccer league, just don't expect everyone else to. I play soccer. Goodluck with this project Silly.
-
Haha, thanks Rick.
Now, ill need a way so clans/people can sign up for this? Anyone have any ideas?
-
You need to do alot of things, f.e. create a web-page, mirc channel, set up rules, rent servers, etc...
Talk to people that have organised cups/legaue before (Lekky, XBain, Blaa, Terrorist...)
Only way to get people to sign up is through web. Talk to Sonny, I think he rents his web space for this kind of things (www.leezerz.com). Also you could rent servers from him.
-
talk to blaa? If you consider me as a person who has organized cup then I can only think of a few who couldnt do it. You just need to stay calm, ignore insults, have some IRC binds (like "I WILL TELL YOU WHEN YOU MATCH, DONT PM ME PLZ" etc) and the stuff they tell you that you NEED a good website and blabla is true indeed.
And, if you want I can help you with whatever you want, but pls, dont get apoc as your co host or whatever. Apoc seems to be like a black cat running across every idea. PUG idea is good and he started to "work" on it, but still managed to end up with a failure. We all fail, but he failed with style. He got a pug script, special server and even wanted a website. After all that effort it should have produced more than 1 pathetic shadow of a PUG.
-
Yes, blaa. Thanks a lot. Could you be that person than? (Convener)
I already have a irc channel edge, thanks a lot anyway.
Do i have to rent them with money? Because unfortunately, i dont have any way of paying

Meh, noone came and there was no PUG script and continentals is actually working just trying to get in contact with XBain on servers.
Btw thanks for the wonderful compliment blaa.
-
Apoco you could help me organize servers and match times too? If you would that would be GREATLY appreciated
-

I've played the soccer maps and I dont like them. But I forgot, you know me.... :P
-
Thats just your opinon eradicator. Dont go round puttin down idea's that you dont like :).
-
Yes, we had a soccer cup at our first birthday.
atm we make a new build of the otb_soccer map, to fix some problems.
Just out of curiosity, why don't you just use soccer1? The OTB plastered all over the place looks kind of ugly and makes it difficult to tell which side is which.
-
thats a good idea. I was thinkin of makin a pretty basic one. Soccer1 would be better though
Do you approve of this idea jits?
-
Jits don't own soccer server. It's OTBs. So, again, talk to Terrorist.
-
lol
We fix that too.
Can u fix the "Red team scored" and "Blue team scored" bug jitspoe?
-
It isn't a bug, but it is confusing when there are just two teams. It was set up that way so you could have 4-team pong. The message indicates which team was scored on. The main bug with pong is that a fast ball can pass through people sometimes.
-
go ahead and try it, it sounds like a good idea :P
it'd also be nice if we had servers dedicated to koth and whatnot, ive only played it once, and it was kots1 with one other person :/
-
Iv'e sent Terrorist a PM, and just waiting for his reply..
Anyone that has some expierence with this, please volenteer for your help will be greatly appreciated
-
Sorry for double post
Rule has been modified.
Shots are now allowed.
-
took download off
-
Can u upload the map, please?
-
Hello Marth, i am glad you came to the world of mapping. This map does have the bits and pieces of a map, but, no offense, looks really unpleasing to the eyes. You also made a few mistakes with the spawning and i always though of the goals as a net. Here's my suggestion: don't release this map. It has many flaws and although its not bad for a first map, i really would not want to play it. Sorry if i am being to harsh, but i think you should make multiple maps before releasing any. Go to the mapping section and start reading ALL of the stickies, it will improve your mapping skill. Practice, Practice, Practice!!!!!!!!!!! The first map i ever released was like my 20th map, and its still a pretty sad sight. Before i release any more i will have many more maps. My folder when loading up BSP is giant from unfinished maps that i just turned into practice maps. Hope this helps, and don't get discouraged, almost no 1st maps are full releasing quality. If you really want to stick with this map, i suggest releasing it on the mapping forum, getting a sick beating, and seeing how much you can improve it from the comments. Sincerely
-Cusoman
-
Marth, That map is not bad. Try messing around with maps, download some .map's from people and study them.
-
Quite interesting how its mainly the Mexican and South American players who want to run this.
-
yeah, i got a tad carried away releasing the map, i was hoping it could be a pong map being that pong maps can be simple, and i knew the map was nothing to make its own topic over, i knew it stunk, thats why i converted it to pong (XD), oh well, better luck next time i guess :/ (or in a more likely case, 20 times after that)
-
Haha, if it takes 20 maps to make you good, then it will take 20.
Anyway, on with the topic.
Would anyone like to volenteer a clan, or start a clan for this ?
-
i would like to start a clan but i am on one so i can't start another one.
how about if u create like a world cup? than the best players will join the national team and play for that team and be on there clan at the same time. i think that could be a good ideia. but it is only an ideia.
-
wait.
So make a clan like...
Digital Paint World Cup
Somthing like that? Also, where else could we find teams to match...
Last thing, should i just set up clans, and let people join them, and when more popularity comes, start makin tryouts?
-
Btw Silly, If you'd like, I could map a new topic and show you my pong map.
-
I dont think nations cup would be the best idea. For one, there are some nations who make out the majority of the dp community (usa, germany). And for two, the big nations would then only include a small percentage of the whole player amount in that nation. Therefore the amount of those, who would like to play, but cant since their skill wouldnt let them play, would be big. And noone likes to sit.
In Europe there would be alot more teams and the problem with germany wouldnt be as big like it is in usa.
Of course, usa and other big countires could have multiple squads (some squads are based on 1 good clan and then some teams based on wider choices and clans).
To have such big idea working you seriously need a good website. Where people can go and click buttons to arrange matches etc. When website is arranged you need some people to help you force the matches (some people wont go to the website, even if you made the system really easy) - because it helps when you get some people matching, then those who thought "oh yeah, this is a fail and i wont play" would see most are playing and doesnt want to be the only one not playing.
Oh, and btw. I do not think you need to go THAT big when planning a Pong event.. For a pong tournament you should just think for 2 minutes, open irc at the right time and make a channel and spam that you have a tourny coming. Might get a few players.
Better organize a 3v3 or 4v4 league. Well, atleast the european clans are in my opinion ready for a stable league..
-
German 2v2 league FTW!!!
Ask pure he organize the german league's... He made a good webiste and a esay system for a league
-
Of course, usa and other big countires could have multiple squads (some squads are based on 1 good clan and then some teams based on wider choices and clans).
well that was what i was thinking about. and by the way i only said this ideia if any one wanted to organise a cup like this because i won't do it. i don't have time neither experience for that.
