Practice
alcosatz, Wed Jun 14 2006, 12:59PMThanks to everyone who showed up for the practice last night. kddude and I played one-on-one for about 20 or 30 minutes before other people started showing up. We had 4 on 4 by the end of the practice. There should still be more people showing up, though.
I don't mind going to the practices if there are not enough people available; however, these practices are supposed to be for those interested in the competitive squad. I'm not interested in the competetive squad but I've seen several of you are. Please remember to show up prompty at 8:30 PM Eastern next Tuesday. Hopefully the guy who proposed the practice time can make it next week.

Yeah, I was there, it was really fun. Like Alex said, we had 8 people there by the end. Hopefully, more people can make it next time though. Also, next time, maybe we can have an "8 man war", or however many people are there. A man war is like a scrim, except members of the clan fight against each other. It's official cal rules, and everything you would have in a normal match, except its inter-clan. They're really fun, maybe we can have one next time.

Pockyninja Said, "day: Any Time: after 3 till 10 avalable...my scedule is pritty open exsept work and sleep (work at 10pm till 6 am)" You were given the opportunity to let us know that a while back. Granted, at the time you probably didn't know when your driving lessons would be taking place, but at least you had the option to give up to 3 days/times.
With that being said, I know that I'm guilty of not being there, but my boss is a tool. Yes, some events were out of my control, much like Pocky, however for a first run through and with relatively late notice, 8 people is a pretty solid start. I'm gonna see if I can some up with a few strats for next week, and I might be able to organize a scrim for later that week to put some of our skills into practice. Did anyone bother X-Fireing peeps around the practice time? If not, at least we'll know for next week. BTW, what maps did you guys play and who got the most AWP kills?

alcosatz, Thu Jun 15 2006, 01:01PM
I xfired a few people, yeah. We played train first, just kddude and myself for a while, and that was mostly waiting for people to join up. The AWP didn't come out much, from what I recall, but if I had to guess who had the most I'd say kddude. Again, I wasn't really paying attention.
A bit off-topic, but do you think we should setup a psychostats page on the practice server, so we can know the strengths and weaknesses, stat-wise, of each player?
Also, someone let me know if there is a specific mapcycle we should be playing for next practice.

I think having a psychostats page for the practice server would be interesting. Let me know if I can help getting that set up.
As to the map cycle, I kind of liked it completely random. It forced me out of my "Office comfort zone". I hadn't played Train since original CS. I sucked at it the other night, but if was fun playing a map that I haven't completely memorized. I like the cycle on total random.

BuBBLe GooSe, Thu Jun 15 2006, 08:41PM
A Pstats would be sweet. That actually never even crossed my mind, but its a really good idea.
In terms of a mapcycle, perhaps we could put together some good stock maps and avoid the customs. (So we won't have to wait for them to download for whoever doesn't have it.) Maybe even setting a reasonable timelimit or win limit so we can get through a few maps during the practice. In terms of a mapcycle, let me make a few suggestions like....
1. de_Dust (a nice warm-up)
2. de_Tides (smaller map, has some key close/medium range shot opportunities)
3. de_Azec (pull out the Scopes!)
4. cs_Italy (camp/rush techniques, scopes and rifles = key)
5. cs_Assault (the ultimate camp/rush map)
6. de_Nuke (bombsites are far apart, teamwork is key)
7. de_Chateau (great for SMG's and Rifles, and you really gotta protect the bombsite here.)
8. cs_compound (lots of places to hide, lots of open area where you gotta watch your ass. scopes are key, best map to utilize smoke nades/cover fire)
9. de_Inferno (this map's got it all baby!)
10. de_Dust (a classic map, but it combines everything learned from the previous ones)
ALSO: de_Contra, de_Cpl_fire, de_Cpl_mill, de_Cbble,
de_Train, de_Piranesi, de_Port, cs_Milita, de_Prodigy

I gave you the time at the point you asked it also I said before 10 becouse I need a half hourto shower, get ready and leave to be at owrk at 10 I thought I specifyed that. Recently I entered drivers ed wich runs from 6 till 20 using up all my free time (then again it is the shortest time that it will take to do this bs) so I asked and was never answeredi nthe vote if I would be able to not be there the whole time. In fact becouse that would never be answer I never voted for or agenst the practices.

Damn! I got off work early to make practice and its empty! I told my boss I wasn't feeling well and had to leave, now hes pissed! Sorta sucks to see an empty Practice server and I know I'm gonna catch shit for pulling this little stunt. I managed to get into the server at a bit before 9:30pm. I'll work on setting up a few scrims, I'm in talks with a few dudes on X-Fire so maybe next week I'll see if we can get something going for around 9:30 or 10:00. That way we can still practice before, then go into a scrim after. I'll keep everyone posted with the details.

Hey I made it to practice, a bit late though, and I was pleased with the results, we do have a long road ahead of us until cal though, and I intend to teach you guys some tricks that I've learned along the way.
One map I know a bunch of strats on is Dust2, and Pretty much thats it, but I also know the cal shooting tactics they use, so I can teach that to you guys to, simple stuff, but you need to practice it all the time.
Another thing is that everyone needs to be on teamspeak, cause not a single clan is gonna be talking in game, thats just noobish, so we all need to get on TS, and come to play, no shitting around during practice. Well thats all I'm goin to bed, good practice guys.

BuBBLe GooSe, Wed Jun 28 2006, 07:45AM
Practice was alright. There wasn't a password on the server, so randoms joined us. The server did fill up pretty fast, and stayed with a steady pace of players for a while. We did some FT vs ALL and that was a good way for the group of us to work some strats and it was fun. We had FT's come and go, but the 7 FT's vs 7 randoms was jokes. Then we tried getting a little scrim going with De. We had 8 and De had 3, so we waited for them to get some peeps. It took so long that the FT numbers dwindled. Sure enough, De had about 6 players, adn we were left holding the bag with only 3. But yeah, organizing a scrim in 10 mins is kinda hard. I was multi-tasking pretty hard.. hitting up X-fire, getting some higher level 3 admins on to change the map, then getting map-change permissions from Alex, hopping into FTC and FTC2 to gather FT's,,, needless to say, it was quite the production. Night_Ninja brings up some good points, perhaps we can get a STRAT thread together. Or perhaps a Practice schedule so we know what areas we can focus on, while in practice.... Either way, it was jokes and fun to play stock maps with other FT's while using AWPs and such. A couple hours there really helped me out, because when I wwent onto FTC, I went like 20-3.

If FTC2 moves to a rotation, then the Practice server will be gone anyway... Practices are going downhill the past little while. The point of practice was to bring Officers and Surfers together on some common ground... If FTRotation comes about, then perhaps informal 'practices' can be held at teh same day and time,,, not locking the server or anything, just a well known and advertized time to play with fellow FT's. (If the FTR becomes a possibility, of course.)
