[FMJ]chode

UPDATE: A 'mySql' database has been made by DomSpy for the site which will make it far easier for us to update once the league has started. Intrest seems to have lowered resently for some reason We are putting a lot of work into this and we will not just let it die. Once DomSpy has got back off his holiday the tornament will begin and all clans currently on the "Clans so far" list will be sorted into tables and matches decided.

Servers will most likely be in Europe, with hopefully some in the US. We are not fussy about pings though , "laggers" have as much right to play as anyone else.

Thanks for all the support guys, we hope we can help you all have some good old 0.3 fun. Me and Dom are working hard to get this up and running as fast as possible (but no earlier than the 15th as Dom is away), so if clans could spread the word and make there mind up asap it will be that extra bit helpful. I am checking this thread regulary and editing the first post a lot for easy reading, so that is where most updates will be found but i will post about any major updates like the following: Playback site now online for quick reference to the rules and other information. This is where most of the results and fixtures will be posted so bookmark this now The url is http://www.mta-fmj.com/playback Thanks goes to Oli for hosting the site

After many discussions me and dom have worked out a format for how this 0.3 tournament will work (mentioned in a different topic) and we have ended up with this, which is a little like how the old EULeague used to work. The MTA 0.3 Playback League (we thought it needed a catchy name) Clans so far FMJ DNA FsK XII UVA RP PCP bTk TTH Pending NSA VCK [|||||||||] 90% TmM Official Playback Site:http://www.mta-fmj.com/playback Rules for the league format are as follows: Dependent on how many clans enter they will be split into 4 groups occouringly. At first this will be random and all the groups will be equal. Each clan plays every other clan in thier group twice to gain a type of seeding which would be based on wins/loses and rounds won/lost. The top four seeds will the be put into the top group, the next 4 will be in the 2nd group and so forth untill everyone has a selective group. From here each clan then plays each other clan once in what we will call a round. After every round, the top and bottom of each league will swap places with its respective upper or lower league. eg the top of league 3 will be swapped with the bottom of league 2. The top of League 1 will be crowned the champ of that round and that will be recorded and name gone down in Playback history! Rules for the matches are as follows: 1) No modding/cheating/trainers/hacking etc. 2) No pausing during any round, and is recommended no pausing at all. 3) 3 rounds. 1 attack, 1 defense, 1 Mayhem: -Teams should choose a specific base with easily marked parameters to define the base area. -Only 1 unspecified member of the team has to be in this area at all times whilst defending. -Once both teams are ready one clan will attack the others base. And the second round this will be reversed -Once a person dies then they are not allowed to respawn and they are out of the round. -In the Mayhem round anything is allowed bar any of the ground rules. Helikills/Carkills allowed. Weapons may be picked up (inc spaz) before the round has begun. Athough there is no official time limit for these, they may be stopped at any time at the referee's discretion ie if they are taking too long 4) If a player crashes and is deemed in combat by the refferee they are out of that particular round. However if that player is deemed out of combat then they may respawn. 5) No defending in the Mayhem round. This would be setting up all/most of your members in specified positions in any base-like area that may seem pre-planned, however fighting can occur in these areas. 6) Even sides are preffered but on the event of unbalenced sides then the dissadvantaged team will be allowed as many respawns as players they are missing 7) Helikills and weapon pickups are not allowed during the first 2 rounds of attack and defend although they are allowed in the 3rd Mayhem round. Carkills are alowed in every round 8 ) All 3 rounds muct be played whether or not the winner has already been determined by the 2nd round. The 3rd round should be most fun anyway so id hope not to much persuasion will be needed. 9) The referee's word is final. These rules are here to aid people in having good fun fair matches, and any attempt to abuse these rules to win matches will be frowned upon 10) In the event of a clan not showing for any official matches then the match will be forfeit to the opposing clan. Further punishment may be taken for repeat offenders which may include exclusion from the league. These rules may be subject to change by US!!!!!1!!11!!!!!eleventytwo!!omfg!!himum! nubs

Not quite just a "wait for blue" answer is it? He told you why the option of vehicle spawns and character spawns wasn't included in the previous core and he says this has been fixed in blue what else did you want to know, or are you just trying to point out every tit bit that is wrong with the current core and "how it can be improved" No wonder all you get is wait for blue answers, because these have probably already all been fixed/done.

ok so far ive got: FMJ, UVA, XII, bTk, and KFC interested. I think it would be a shame to get rid of the spaz completely so i think that allowing all pickups on the third round would be a good laugh as we did in a earlier match with UVA. It is just for fun, so lets keep the debating to a minimal if you dont wanna play, we aint gonna force you

GEAR

im not sure what else you'd need to know, i just want to see who is interested. We might have a problem getting some servers for it but that shouldnt be too difficult

After a few games of 0.3 me and Dominionspy have decided to organize a 0.3 tournament. We are unsure as to whether to have a knockout compotion or some sort of ladder. A knockout would probably give more constant matches in small periods of time whereas a ladder would lt us continue for as long as ppl want to play the matches, and this would just be a record of all that. It is more for some good old fun than a massive "im the best at 0.3" compo and to get everyone remembering how good it used to be IF anyone is interested then leave a post and we shall annonce when it begins, but it will more than likely be sometime in the middle of august.

hey, nice idea...just ask one of them to just come up to you so you can kill them. Not quite that easy is it?? Practice makes perfect, dont consume all your ammo. and if you think this sucks then why the hell do you think they have ammo anyway...for a laugh. Might aswell just have infinate if your afraid of running out. the community lose, then moan about the rules cos it was thier fault and not the fact your whole team got taken out with you only getting one of them. well, we arent telling anyone not to use any sepcific weapons...if you want nades go sailor, if you want shotty go cop...in fact the only gun that is not available from the spawn is the flamethrower and that is taken out by the all pickups rule anyway! (and i think tec9, but the uzi is practically the same) and in addition, CS actually prvents you from combining most weapons, so it is even worse for that. And i thought your agumnt was that this ISNT CS? cos you must be the only adult that plays this game...after signing up for a torny, with a MASSIVE debat on the rules, pickups in particualr...then after the first match where you suprisingly lost..you moan

I only really see 3 people complaining about the rules, the others are just trying to correct them in what they are saying, yet the 3 are sounding like they are speakin for "the whole community"

with a simple if mta.skin == 1 that can be fixed. big deal, now whats next on your petty argument list...no-one picks mex because no-one youve ever seen has. Maybe that is because you have only played with shotty pickup allowed. What do you want the rules to be, perfect for you and no one else? I just think you are so fixiated on these rules you dare not try anything different so whatever happened to carkills and helikills...

erm...that is the exact thing these rules are trying to stop have you even read them are are you just wanting to bitch about them. With pickups or the shotty rule then that is what it would be as they have the only advantage, regen health and 100 armor... and @ronseal: cmon we all know that vces would find some excuse to back out anyway even if we had all pickups. All pickups would lead to everyone being crusader and they just take too long to kill imo and is neither realistic nor fun for me, but whatever, we play with any rules

Why does that sound so familiar lol i was gonna say the exact same thing

fun ideas. Maybe it can be part of a bigger mod which people can go to specific places and activate them with others in the server.

well id say it should deffinatly be possible, although weather you can have a model in the bus/taxi/whatever as in original releases i bet all the models will be used for players. be good though, can use it for many a things.

nor is it a full fledged shooter, nor is it designed for teamplay or even competion. Heck its not even meant to be a multiplayer. Games are better with a variety of skills used (eg. aiming, reactions, stratedgy, tactics etc. ) so why get rid of possibilities to use this just cos some stubburn people can only use a combonation of shotty and m4 with a nade or 2 and have never even tried anything else.

Man, i can't believe there is such a massive argument over a silly rule really Ive seen a few clans say that if the cop shotty rule is in then they wont play, but none that have said they wont play unless it is in I personaly believe that the shotty pickup is un-needed and if you want it then go cop note: i wasnt really going to post but i wanted to show off my new sig made by Mr DomSpy

im sure that even if it they both would lead you to the same interior then it wouldn't be too hard to get round it because where you entered would be different. This could be used to be able to determine who you could "see" and who could "see" you, however you would technically be in the same place

holding it too long may become fatal... he understands the saying! wow anyway, i'm not sure if he meant this but he said NPC's not peds. Just a thought to maybe to be able to have some non moving NPC's around the map for mini games or information, or just show. Im not sure if this would involve anything from the MTA team or if it could just be done using the Mod function but just a thought

that wouldnt be quite right for a tournament really, because most matches will probably be different and some of the "lesser" clans will argue over thier set of rules and matches will probably never be played You could set up a basic set of rules, then if two teams agree then rules can be added, but more on an honour system, ie if these added rules are broken, the match is not forefit as its not against the general rules but it could cause disrupt between the two clans... ...but thats getting everything much more complicated on an offtopic note: if anyone would like me to do anything about organizing something of a fun event let me know, but i am a lazy person and i wont do anything without any motivation

hundred? thousand?

Well actually i was quite a big part in how the EU-League was run and helped Oli with a lot of the organizatiton, i dont even think Dom was in FMJ back then (dont quote me on that one) why does it have to be an FMJ. Maybe the running of it can be split between some of the more proffesional/trusted/mature players of MTA IMO 0.5 has had its time and a league would be quite pointless. I believe we should run down the time with some fun events like the 4-ways or just some randomly organized special gangwars like we used to have. EDIT: My sig, nooooooooooo

took the words right out my mouth, but i have no say in the matter. They are completly bias towards one clan, who haven't even said if they are playing or not
