Digital Paint: Paintball2 - Deathmatch cup
"Every man for himself!"
Introduction:
Hello, this is a Digital Paint: Paintball 2 tournament hosted by myself; recently there has been many tournaments such as 2v2 CTF, 3v3 CTF, etc. But I want to create something different, something unique and fun. The tournament will be a "free-for-all" deathmatch, not team-deathmatch, and will be played during the period of 12th-16th of April.
Concept:
(all times are GMT)
The tournament is a "drop-in" style. Anyone who has a GBL profile can enter the server and play. You don't have to register via this topic, in fact you don't have to register at all. You can play for as long as you want, when you want during the specified period. The server will be opened at April 12th 12:00PM and will close at April 16th 12:00PM. This means you have 120 hours of possible playing time, to get the most kills and best K/D ratio.
We will use one of ic3y's German-located servers, but anyone from around the World can enter and play. The server will have 18 slots, if the server is full and you want to enter, then unfortunately you must wait. It's first come, first serve.
There will be a rotating maplist in the deathmatch server, but I will not release information on the maps - that's for the players to find out later.
On each map, you can get a maximum of 50 kills.
Awards/Winners:
We will have 2 main subsections, "Top Players" and "Name and Shame". Allow me to explain:
TOP PLAYERS -
- Most amount of kills.
- Best K/D ratio. (after at least 50 kills)
NAME AND SHAME -
- Worst K/D ratio. Need at least one hour of play-time
This will be awarded on 16th April, 2010, at approximately 18:00 GMT. I understand that players with top kills will be the ones playing the longest, but thats the idea of the tournament. :)
FAQ:
This is going to be a rubbish tournament, because random players with the name as "newbie" or "newbie(1)" will come into the server, and get the most kills.
- No. This will not happen because each player must have a DPLogin account.
Whats the point?
- What is the point of this game? To have fun. The same idea applies for the tournament, it's a chance for players to have a laugh in a good-old deathmatch server.
Only the "no-lifers" will win this tournament because they spend ages on Paintball.
- So? It's their life. They can do whatever they want, don't flame people, and moan just because someone won.
(It would be nice for people who are going to play this cup to tell me, so I know that the tournament wont be a fail. Even if it's 10-20 minutes, please let me know! :))
UPDATE: In order for your score to count for the tournament, you must play for at least 1 hour. If it's anything below this specified time, then your score won't count.
Also, when playing in the tournament, please ensure you are using the same name, with same colors. This is because ic3y's script isn't 100% efficient at the moment, and doesn't record the GBL IDs, only names. So if you want a consistant score, make sure you use the same name.
UPDATE: Least kills and least deaths have been removed because of Kazee's suggestion.
UPDATE: You also must have at least 50 kills in order to qualify for the TOP PLAYERS section. If you have 49 or lower, you still wont be counted.
UPDATE: Awards section changed.

TOP PLAYERS -
- Most amount of kills.
- Best K/D ratio. (maybe add a minimum amount of kills. Like 50?)
- Least amount of deaths. (i do not see the point of this)
NAME AND SHAME -
- Least amount of kills.
- Worst K/D ratio. (maybe add a minimum amount of kills. Like 50?)
- Most amount of deaths. (i do not see the point of this)
Maybe you should ask jehar, if he could cast some of the DM on the first day and promote it, so some random tastyspleen crowd would come and play :) Add it to your checklist :P
-
It's unfair. Some guy can play vs good and some other vs bad player.
-
You have 5 days. I don't see this as unfair, if it was a 1 day cup, then yeah - fair enough. But when you have 5 days, on the first day - people from the forum will mainly participate.. second, probably the same. On the third day, some "newly registere dplogin users" will probably start playing.
I don't see it as unfair, I see it as very fair. 8)
-
How you can know if that was 1 day it will be unfaire and 5 days fair? I don't agree whith you sorry :)
-
We will just have to wait and see. We can't predict the future, so it might be a fail or a success. Nobody knows. ;)
-
Uh, and maybe add another 'trophy'. Accuracy! Dunno if its possible to count the bullets used, but if it is, then you can find the most accurate player (needs min kill count tho)
-
This wont turn out well... the winner will be known as a nolife.
-
Least deaths being a top player isn't going to work. someone could join the server get a kill and will have least deaths. For the deaths and kdr their must be a minimum playing time or amount of kills as blaa stated. If you say make 1 hr play time over the course of those days mandatory to be considered for a top place maybe that will be sufficient.

Thanks for this - I never actually saw this flaw in the tournament, but I realise what you're saying. I will change the tournament rules explaining now, please check for information regarding names too.
Thanks Kazee and blaa.
shockwave, read my FAQ please. :)
-
Eww 350-400 ping :P. Great setup though, I like the idea of the way it will be run. No time zone issues, anyone can play as long as there's people in the server. Might also want to check the idea of people being in there when 1v1 and someone aiding someone on kills, accuracy, etc.

Hmm, I wonder how many deaths I can get....

I have a feeling I'd beat you there. You have a much better aim. I reckon I've got Name and Shame in the bag. Won't be that hard on a euro server :)
-
So you can see how much the players has played? That's nice! Make sure that the final list gets a column for that as well. Any infos on the accuracy tracking?
-
Only the "no-lifers" will win this tournament because they spend ages on Paintball.
- So? It's their life.
If the tournament fails, at least you already know why :)
-
Yeah, that's another good point about the 1v1. There is no possible way to avoid this situation though, ic3y can't make the script only work for more than 5 players.. So I suppose it's play whenever you get the chance to play, for as long as you can when you can.
blaa, accuracy isn't possible at all. When you type 'stats' in the players' console, it works. But there isn't a command/feature that allows the server prompt to automatically record these stats from the user, so no, unfortunately we cannot do accuracy - good idea though. Feature vote?
-
nice idea :)
-
btw its purebloods Script.
-
jehar from #tastycast on irc.gg-center.net has kindly accepted to record the first couple of hours on the first opening day. He will be recording, as well as offering commentary along with my cute, high pitched voice as a "co-caster". More information about TastyCast coverage will be coming soon, but everything is coming along nicely now! :)
Very nice script then, Pure. ;)
-
--BUMP--
ButtaKnife from GlobalGamers might be supplying prizes for the top players competitions...
More information coming soon.
-
im still a bit confused...So if I sign up my goal is to get the most kills possible and least deaths? What if I have to go and I leave the server, will I lose all my KDR and have to start over or will it be recorded then the next day I just go back to the server and continue? More info plz
-
So if I sign up my goal is to get the most kills possible and least deaths?
Technically yes. The whole main idea of the tournament is to get the most kills, and if possible, the least amount of deaths (You must have played for over 60 minutes for it to count though, this is to stop someone coming in, killing one person and dying none (So they get the least deaths as 0))
What if I have to go and I leave the server, will I lose all my KDR and have to start over or will it be recorded then the next day I just go back to the server and continue?
If you disconnect from the server for whatever reason, your KDR will be saved under the name you last used. This is why it's dramatically important to use exactly the same name everytime you play, including colours, italics, boldness, etc. That's the good thing about PURE's script, it saves the information over a period of time. :)
-
ok its a good idea but try to make a good maplist on that serv ;]
-
this is a DM cup right? comment a DM cup? wow it's will be hard : ex : he kill and got killed bye .. and it's only what he can say.
-

Yeah, there will be a lot of maps in rotation. :)

I don't understand what you mean..
-
Haha, i mean jehar have to do a really great job to coment a DM cup =P
-
pick some big maps for no SPAWN killing, cause i'm sure there will be alot of people in the server
-
Not all the time...
-
Ah, I'm pretty disappointed with myself at the moment.
I didn't want to share the maplist for this tournament with the community, it was supposed to be a suprise... But as I can only find somewhat 13 decent, and entertaining deathmatch maps... I kinda need the communities help.
Here's the current rotation:

ic3y:- Please put these into the rotation for the deathmatch server.. And any others that the community might offer. Thanks :]
-
Many normal CTF maps have the DM spawns. Just adding maps made for DM might not be the best move.
And I would remove arm for sure.
Oh now I see some of the beta maps support both ctf and dm, but i think there are a bit more :).
-
Yeah I've been seing the ones that support DM... But some of them aren't as well made as the normal DM ones. We'll soon see, I was thinking of adding discovery and other small-medium sized maps. :)
-
wish there was callvoting support in paintball. adding callvote <mapname> in this case would hurt (as some might only want to play some specific map so they would callvote spam it, until it gets voted), but callvote nextmap would be brilliant in this situation. Think if you are on with 3 other players and discovery comes up :D. Then you can quickly nextmap so a more proper map comes up.
-
you forgot the best dm map in dp2... theedge
-
oh crap, can you send me a download/topic link for that map please? :) thanks viper.
-
ftp://ftp.otb-server.de/pub/Maps/
-
Another question, which I forgot to ask ic3y/Terrorist is how do I force the gamemode so that everytime a map loads, the game is set to deathmatch? Is it g_autoset deathmatch or something? I remember seeing the answer just can't remember what thread. :X
And ic3y, here's the link for theedge if you don't already have it. :]

ic3y, do you have everything that is needed for the server? Needs to be online on Monday 11th April! :) Thanks.
-
Look TeMaRu, I have never seen or participated in an event such as this, and I'm pretty certain neither have you. It's good to experiment with different aspects of tournament styles, so please shut the intercourse up.
I've never seen you organize a tournament or event, so please, don't assume the tournament will fail.
-
Kyuuchi, I start the server, but maybe you send me the rotation ?
Don't think I look here and write it out.
-- EDIT --
Kyu's DeathMatch Cup - 5 day tournament
Servername from Kyuuchi

-
Great news!
ButtaKnife from the brilliant GlobalGamers has donated a prize to the winner of the "Most kills" award. Whoever gets the most accumulated kills over the 5 day period, will win this very cool RC Helicopter: http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/rc/cb6c/
The winner will have to contact ButtaKnife by emailing buttaknifeATglobalgamersDOTnet to claim the prize.
Good luck in the tournament everyone! Starts Monday!

-
I believe it'll be 'Deathmatch 5-day Tournament' or something along those lines. Lemme check when I get on my laptop, as I don't have the server config on this PC.
-
"Kyu's DM Tournament", something like that
-
Server name - Kyu's DeathMatch Cup

It's a jar Script, not a php Script. You can't see the currently stats
-
Oh crap, that hca is a nice map as well. Is there any way to actually force the gamemode as DM?
-
Whats the link or site where all the stats for each player who has played in that server is? And how are people ranked... most kills? Best kdr?

-
Been in that server like 5 times
So that's why you had most kills/death ;)
-
Thanks ic3y for the update! :-)
Well, by the looks of things the following people are the winners:
shk -> Winner of most kills, prize: R/C USB Helicopter
Ramayana/przeMx -> Winner of best K/D after 50 kills, prize: to be announced.
We weren't necessarily hosting a prize for the winner of best K/D. Maybe it'll be something cheap, $15 on Steam or something. :)
shk, message ButtaKnife(A)Globalgamers(D)net with your address in order to receive your prize!
-
I vote for disqualifying the person who killed Wave the most (and probably racistmonkey and lnk as well if they are known to be good). You shouldn't award people for cheating.
-
i'll be sure to play with that helicopter everyday
-
can I pimp it? Like add stickers and does it come in a different color?
-
aha, cool so check all my kills after talk
