This is an opinion based topic; would it be worth while to start PBC again? or remake it, whatever. (This is genreally for all the people that know what it is)

I say go for it.

i say, what is it?

No.. dont bother =p There really isnt enough news.. and I dunno, I personaly wouldent find it very informative =] But thats me.

I say no, cuz 99% of PBC was just rehashed news from the offical DP site. Now if someone wants to make a different DP related site and actually provide worthwhile and different content, then that would be great.

It makes sense to have a DP website devoted to the clanning/matching community side of the game. But only if its done the right way with a regularly updated list of active clans, matching rules/guidelines, various matchclan related FAQs and guides or tutorials, match/clan related news (not rehashed official news from the DP site), etc. Maybe a college football (poll, not the BCS crap) type ranking thing for clans, so the top clans get recognition and others know who to try to take down =) You know, excrement like that.

Royal,
That sounds like a good idea, I'd be willing to put some time into making it. I just couldn't do it alone.

RoyalBlood · « **Reply #6 on:** March 20, 2004, 06:56:18 PM »

Yeah thats usually the problem. Only one person works on it and never accomplishes enough.

jitspoe · « **Reply #7 on:** March 20, 2004, 07:43:22 PM »

Sounds like paintball2 at the moment.

warwulf is working on a system.. talk to him on IRC about it.

Well lets put something together ya lazy arses!

Any takers...?

oddjob · « **Reply #10 on:** March 22, 2004, 09:51:50 AM »

Id help i just dont know any html.

Belmont · « **Reply #11 on:** March 22, 2004, 11:38:45 AM »

I figured we can implement this idea with what jits and RB are talking about

Fryth · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2004, 12:00:38 PM »

Why not?

It's true there isn't a lot of news though. But there could be other sections, like a section for standard match rules a la Ferg's PBQCC, or strategy guides... map reviews....

Belmont · « **Reply #13 on:** March 22, 2004, 01:18:57 PM »

Sounds like good ideas Fryth.

Everybody that has contributed to this post has had excellent ideas.

jitspoe · « **Reply #14 on:** March 22, 2004, 07:19:27 PM »

I like the idea of map strategy guides. Maybe you could have some downloadable demos and whatnot, too. Recam some matches? Match result screenshots? Scripts/configs? Various tutorials? There's lots of stuff that can be put up there.

Belmont · « **Reply #15 on:** March 22, 2004, 09:05:05 PM »

Wait, map stratedy guides.. would that be like tips and tricks to use on a select bunch of maps?
Or would that be an explanation of how to play?

RoyalBlood · « **Reply #16 on:** March 22, 2004, 09:30:15 PM »

Could be both. Depends on if someone is motivated enough to do one.

Belmont · « **Reply #17 on:** March 22, 2004, 09:46:38 PM »

Hmmm, off this topic, I'd like to help construct some solid matching guidlines.
Just point me in the right direction.

oddjob · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2004, 06:32:20 AM »

Thats what the dp committe is for. To try and formulate the matching/scrimming rules

Belmont · « **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2004, 07:33:31 AM »

Well then, count me in.
