| Quoting Johnny_Suave | | one of the Suffocation maps should be in the rotation too! |
Totally agree. I love the fast pace of the first one the best. Now the other thing is how to set up the server.
Date: ?
Time Limit:?
Maps:?
Players Limit:? (I can and should be able to handle at least 16 players[XX Crosses Fingers XX].)
Frag Limit:?
Weapons Stay: Yes or No?
Disable weapons: NOT

Last year we held this on the 7th July. And July is fast approaching so I think we may as well hold it on the same day.
That way it makes it more like IRFFD.
Unless of course we make it go over a few days, or even a week. Someone had the idea of holding an IRFFD tournement over say a week. Could be run on a ladder system, and perrson with most frags/games wins, and is crowned Champion of IRFFD.
Players send in screenshots to prove their frags etc.
WE need an IRFFD base I think, a website would be good. Alot easier to tell people about rather than a cdc or something (shorter domain name)
It seems that alot of people are offering to run servers. We could have a deafult maps and a custom maps servers? Or DM and CTF. This all depends on how many people we can confirm are able to run a server for the day/week.
Some things to think about  |

Wow elliooo, amazing that you remembered the date...
I like the idea of having a week-long tournament. Perhaps we could have it the week prior to IRFFD as a prelude... we could make it end the day before IRFFD.
It would be cool to have one CTF server if we have enough of them going. Defaults only though. If we had alot of servers, we could even have a TDM one. But those would be just for the one day.
Rules-wise I suggest the following:
- Weapons stay
- Team damage off
- Fall damage off
- 30 mins
- 16 players max (more than that tends to get ridiculous)
* NO yucky patches on ANY of servers. The way the game was supposed to be played.  |

TDM is the most unplayed. I think a DM and CTF would be great.
Defaults would be good as everyone can join in, although it is nice to play some customs. We need to know server details really.
I think we need to set up some kind of webspace for this. We can show server details, map rotations and all info that anyone needs.
I think if we ran it for a week an IRFFW ladder would be cool. SImply work out ladder standings by dividing frags by games. That way the best player wins, rather than the one who has played the most games.
16 players max sounds good to me, I agree that it gets very frantic.
I think just change IRFFD to a week. But this depends if we can get people to run IRFFW servers for an entire week. |

i dont like the ladder idea because as soon as someone lost a few match's they wouldnt be able to play anymore... everyone should be able to play in any IRFFD server any time they want while IRFFD is going on... and if theres gonna be default maps, only have a few and far between each other like 1 default 10 costom 1 default 10 costom, etc and maybe 15-20 min per round... 30 min seams too long.. |

If we're gonna have a tournament, it should be a seperate entity from IRFFD. The whole point of it is to get as many people playing RF on that day as possible, so we wouldn't want anybody NOT being able to play.
I think map-wise the best idea is to have one custom and one default DM server. CTF doesn't need a custom server, I'd wager. Nobody will play it (as we all saw last RFU).
I realize that 30 minutes can seem long if there's only 2 people in the map, but as long as there is somebody else, you shouldn't get too bored. I just wouldn't want a game with more than 2 people to end due to the time limit rather than frags or caps. |

I agree with Johnny_Suave completely here.
A Default and Custom DM server would be perfect. As DM is probably the easiest and most played gametype.
Custom CTF's are hardly ever played, so IRFFD would be a good chance to play some of the amazing CTF maps out there, So my vote is, unless we can get a forth server, only a Default CTF server. If we can get another that would be awesome.
The ladder idea, is that there are no designated games or anything. Just everytime you finish a game in an Official IRFFD server, you send in a screenshot. Whoever is administrating the ladder, then updates it. So we can just have a Champion of IRFFW/IRFFD. Organising tournament games can be really hard because of time differences, so this way would be the easiest. 
I think we need to set up some webspace for IRFFW. Either a cdc or a website. CDC would be the easiest and no one has to put in a heap of effort to make a brand new, good looking site.
If we could redirect to the cdc from a .tk domain, that would make advertising the week much easier, rather than having 'Go to www.levels4you.com/cdc/irffw' we can have 'Go to www.irffw.tk
Much easier IMO.
I'm willing to head this up, and run a cdc. Anyone who wants to help can. So I'm thinking set up a cdc, we can have Server details with map rotations etc, ladder details, perhaps a screenshots section of pics that are taken during the week. That sort of thing.

So we're doing this early July right? How about the first saturday or sunday of the month? That should be the most convenient time for all.
What do you guys think? |

I'd say 30mins is owkee, if its also set to 30 kills.
another thing i want to say is i personaly like weapons sat turned off better. because this way i can just keep picking up sticky bombs, and grenades, and with weapons stay i can't till i die.

I agree cuz I like picking up more C4, but when you get more than like 6 people in the server you can't get any guns at all and you're stuck running around with pistol and baton, and then the game starts to suck.
I just want there to be a mix of classic maps and new ones, I really have no preference which maps they are. I'm sure we can throw some RFU4 maps in the rotation. We could start building the map rotation now if you'd like, seeing as nobody seems to be taking charge of it. |

Just make sure that the servers can run for 24 hours to cater for all timezones, to ensure that everyone gets to celebrate on the day |
