EB MP partion for a sub forum for EB MP

[PershsNhpios]

Ok Blacksnail, well then let's put our toy swords away and see what the EB team has to say then shall we?
When I want some advice on how to program a modification, I will PM you, when I want a sub-forum, I'll just post here - rightio?

Thank you for your support Lovejoy, the hope is for a sub-forum to roll the community forward, as it currently has no base in multiplayer.

I do wish Hannibal would return, as he is the actual leader of this cause.

Twenty seconds later..

Oh look, there he is.

Glenn, we are currently discussing the matter internally. We will keep your thoughts on the matter in mind.

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Just dropping in here I didn't have much opinion, although we have really tried to limit the number of subfora (for example an AAR only forum is much more deserving in my opinion, but we have tried to keep from doing that too). But seeing the, as has been accurately described, implications of duplicity of the team and uncalled for responses to team members' posts here, I personally am much less inclined to give this any further thought. As khelvan said a long time ago, we are only human - if you want us to think about a change or doing something, it's generally not a good idea to badmouth us while doing it.

Ditto.

Hannibal, you and I (The_Gaesatae) still need to do a tie breaker in a 5th battle! You've not forgotten have you?

(We both won 2 and lost 2 a couple weeks ago during some MP. As we started the 5th match, unfortunately it crashed)

[king hannibal]

ok lets get a MP tornament going

but first has any one got a good way of judging the compertion fairly and flexiable bean (RTR fan jump for joy) can up with the idea of everyone fight each other and the person that wins the most wins the tornament this is probly the best way to get people into it but not for judging the champion as the person that on it will most likey win and there are people that will never see each other

so what if we do a regional time line compertion where you play people from you're time line say GMT 0 to +8hour and then do three groups this way and send the winners though to play each other or the modders if there up for it play them?

any different ways you can think of doing it?

[Power2the1]

Hmmm...Honestly, I've never played in an online tournament so I do not have any experience in judging/participating in them.

We could wait until the final call is made about the MP forum. If its a go, then everyone interested in joining the tournament can post there and state their country/time zone or something. People in those timezones can get together perhaps? Just an idea. I really do not know

It's one guy being inexplicably douchey. Everyone else has been cool in requesting this.

[NeoSpartan]

I say we should plan for the formal tournament for MAY 20th or later.

(thats the day of my last exam )

With regards to the EB subforum.... I gotta side with the EB team here. Lets be honest fellas, MP is in its infancy and it has stayed there because a LOT of have been busy with school work.

HOWEVER, what we should do is to use the Stickied MP thread in the meantime. (I don't know if Phanrnakes is still around.... .... if he is not then we should make a new one, copy and paste the directions and names on the 1st page of that thread and put it in the new MP thread. Then have the EB mods switch the treads).

In addition, take pics of ur battles, and post them on the EB MP AAR thread And post descriptions of the battle.

Once we get a crowd going we can argue for our MP sub-forum section.


(and if any of u is an A**hole to the EB team again, I will come by and CHOP UR HEAD OFF!!!
)

I never said it was more than one guy. Is this something you are asking for also or are you just trying to keep me in check?

[lobf]

ut seeing the, as has been accurately described, implications of duplicity of the team and uncalled for responses to team members' posts here, I personally am much less inclined to give this any further thought.

You said here because of his jerkiness you were less inclined to give it further thought. Just thought that was a little unfair.

And I would be happy to see a Multiplayer forum. It would be neat to have a place to organize EB matches and such.

[NeoSpartan]

.....don't.... just don't....

[Emperor Burakuku]

I think that before accusing EB members of duplicity or whatever, we could prove that we're able to organise a tournament. And maybe after that we could address a petition wich we could all sign before asking for a subforum. Like Neo said, EB MP is still in his infancy and maybe a subforum it's not the best investment at the moment. A subforum needs moderators, and organization. Plus that the EB team is busy with the future release. And plus that thay give us the best mod out there without any compensation. Plus that they're only human. Maybe we could show something first and after that, we could ask in a civilised way for a subforum. Is just an opinion.

P.S Like Neo said, a lot of us have to do work for school. For example on the 20th of may I begin my exams. After that I may leave to work on am archeological site far from any PC... If any of you have the time to organise this I will do the best I can to participate. If I can. Not to mention others that actualy work for a living. Time is the main issue for the most of us as it seems. Anyways, GL guys.

[PershsNhpios]

Ahem.

When I senselessly attacked Blacksnail, I attacked him as a Baseless Conjecturer, not as a member of the EB staff.

Therefore, I apologise to the EB members I offended, but not to Mr. Schwarze Gastropod.

Now, I put an end to my hostility in this thread - and attempt a constuctive attitude.

-----

As Burakuku said Neo said the EB team said;

EBMP is still in it's infancy, and as Teleklos has mentioned several times elsewhere, and shown in his recent flurry of locked threads - moderating the EB forum and sub-fora is difficult enough without opening a new one which as of yet has not even proved if it can achieve success.

Therefore I very much agree with Burakuku, in that we should attempt to organise a Tournament, through a new thread perhaps, and prove to both the moderators and ourselves that this is worthwhile, and we have enough support.

As for NeoSpartan himself.

Well, I didn't know the Celts wore pink wristbands.

[Emperor Burakuku]

Ok, great. So now, all we need is to get ppl together and to settle a date. KH where are you?

[PershsNhpios]

I was making a thread wherein people could state their personal ideas and IDs and Standard Times strictly on the idea of a Tournament.

However, it was very long, and as I submitted the thread, my internet went down and when I clicked, "Back", it was all gone.

Which made me rather mad - but then perhaps it was the gods warning me not to be cruel or antagonising to molluscs.

Is someone else here willing to make a thread for the Tournament, shall I try again, or will we keep the discussion of it here?

Hannibal is on X-Fire, but has been slightly absent from the forums for a while.

[Emperor Burakuku]

If I only had the time... Anyways, I see that ppl don't seem interested in this. That's too bad. EB MP has such a potential. Fighting human players with the most historical accurate armies out there. It sucks!

Still, if anyone is going to try harder and organise this, I am willing to help although very soon I begin my exams. I will try to make some time. Just PM me guys. At least we can try some 8 ppl mini tournament?

Edit: Ups. I didn't see the new thread. My bad.

[Basileus Seleukeia]

Sry, I've been very inactive for quite some time, but this idea sounds fun, I fully endorse it, let's try it at once! (Stupid nightmare before christmas, not leaving my head >.< )

[Gourmet]

I'm definitely up for it!! Count me in ...

[king hannibal]

don't think there going to be one sadly

looking into doing a website just for MP mods for total war as there nothing really to get people into MP mods and as the communities are all small they normal break up after a few weeks

[HasdrubalBarca]

I remember when I was in one of Bean's tournaments from RTR, I think it was the first one; but I could be wrong about that. I would be up for an EB Multiplayer tournament.

[king hannibal]

well I might try again when I've got the forum up

forum coming along nicely should be up in a few days but hopefully sooner

[Skullheadhq]

great idea!
