Weekly sabering events, any interest?

It's no secret that people have lost interest in actively playing this game, yet still appreciate the game for what it is. A solution? Events, of course. In this case, an almost exclusively saber orientated one

Sort of a branch off from Cuthalions topic, wondering if people would be interested in a weekly or twice a week sabering event of sorts? It would start off very basic as the interest grows (assuming it does at all), with perhaps a tournament style format drawn up for the people present for it - choose your saber type, get drawn up against each other, play a best of three and see who wins that event. Easy to vary each week too if desired - perhaps have a guy on the sidelines with a disruptor who may randomly snipe when he chooses, small-scale tffa (most likely 2v2, and since we would be lucky to see 10 people I imagine, probably more teamplay practice/experience than a tournament of sorts), map variation(duel3 map, aw yeahhh), enforced limits/handicaps to flavour the fight a bit more than usual - the intention is fun, practice and activity, not a serious competitive environment, though competition is one element I'd suggest to encourage involvement

So my question is, would people be interested in this sort of thing? If yes, days that suit best for you would be a good thing to include in your post, along with typically convenient times (in GMT format would be a nice standard), to see what sort of mix we'd have to begin with


Update: Well, how about everyday from Friday-Sunday this weekend starting at 20:00 GMT? As a test run, to see how many can make it and what not - would like to do some tag team duels if possible, since that concept seems really popular so far, but if numbers are too short for it, can always improvise

You dare to question the skills of swift-sabering Kainz00r? Blasphemy. Only the blood of your relatives evenly covering the altar of Kainz00r's mighty ancestors can redeem you of this sacrilege.

It is very true that Sauce's dark powers are very strong indeed but you must never underestimate our two beloved communists, Masta and Kain.

PS: Awesome signature Cuth! lol

The tag-team map was very popular at its release.

Smiley's tag team duels was extremely popular 'back in the day', and it was one of the ideas I'd like to propose most, but due to needing more people for it to really work, I figured best to start small and see how things go

Wasn't aware that there was a tag team map either, but would be cool to check it out sometime, something different from the academy and all it's versions

Very good shout, that was another idea I had, although i'm sure it's an idea everyone has had too! :)


Yup, I put up a "TFFA" server with the tag team map loaded in preparation for this a few months ago but it didn't really take off.

I'm happy to set up a regular sabering event each week though if there is demand.

- To see the lightsaber I use, download the kotor saber pack, I don't know a link since filefront is closing down, so just get it there (I use the Revan Lightsaber Dark Ver.)

It's a good idea, Friday and weekends are best for me, mostly in the evening ... let's say 20:00 - 21:00 GMT.
