Golden Squad: Any Hired Guns here?

[Jjjootjohn]

Yeah, I'm in (must be after the 11th)

[Sgt.Princess]

We need 2 more peeps to have 12; then we could have 2 squads (if we had some reserves that would be nice, too)!

[bullet112]

I guess i can be a reserve

[Raufbold]

Isn´t today the last day to sign up?

[_casualtyUR]

Today is the last day for sign-ups.

Event is on hold until a patch or something is worked through.

The PR Community Events team are opening sign ups for the "Golden Squad Tournament", as well as releasing more information on the event.

The rules are simple. Players can enter any 6 man squad, with up to two reserves into the tournament. They will go through knock out stages against other 6 man squads until an ultimate winner, our "Golden Squad" is decided.


SIGNUPS Close July 3rd
MATCHES Start TBC

• Each team must consist of six players. You are permitted to put down a maximum of 2 reserves.
• No player can be in more than one team, even as a reserve.
• Any clan, or community can enter more than one team into the tournament.
• Each team must have their own individual name. Whilst we of course encourage wit and humour, any rude or offensive names will have you removed before the tournament has even started.
• You must place down a preferred time that you will all be willing to play, and the country of your team. This allows us to structure the tournament so that we should have less people complaining they can't attend their set match times.
• Games will be played out on Skirmish mode. Each match will consist of one squad against another. The losing squad is knocked out from the tournament, whilst the winner continues on.
• The winning squad will not be decided on the end of round squad scores, but on the ticket score at the end. There will be an award at the end for squads with exceptionally high teamwork scores however.
• There will be no set kit load outs or restrictions. Requesting limited kits is fine, and taking enemy limited kits is also acceptable.
• Constructing firebases and assets will be banned in this event, as this can cause issues with points.

To sign up your "squad", follow the link here

The idea of this event is to see how different playing styles can make a difference between simple squad play. Whether you enjoy having your team set up an ambush down a road, or if you prefer to split your guys up and cover as much ground as possible, this is down entirely to how you and your mates play.

The sign ups will be open for a few weeks.

Good luck,

The Community Events Team.

Final day of sign-ups, only 24 hours left then we close.

Unfortunately there has been some issues with Skirmish mode within this release, causing players to instantly die if they do not select the rifleman kit upon spawning.

This of course could lead to some problems, and as a result of this, we will be postponing our competition.

Team entries close on July 3rd.
Matches start on TBC.

[Matrox]

Matches will start in the next couple of weeks most likely, no patch or anything, and play it by ear.

[Raufbold]

I will just sign us up then later the day, if wuschel doesnt respond

[BroCop]

If any squad still needs another player I am calling for it

[wuschel]

Sorry for not posting a long time. I am moving to another apartement, and have currently a lot to do on the job. I will register the troop now, and our wisest CasualtyUR as the Squad Captain, and Sgt. Princess as the chief organizator. Also, due to the short time remaining, I have decided to compile only one squad. It is better to get one group going than having two disfunctional ones.

Here is a compiled list of the current Wildcards squad rooster. I compiled it based on forum/PM activity, player knowledge/contacts/recommendations.
Lads, the Wildcards:

casualtyUR
Cpt. Raufbold
Sgt.Princess
RedSparrow
Jjjootjohn
bullet112
steve_06-07
Gibbon-6


The first two did not post a second time, the last two are late comers. Please do not be offended that You did not make it to the team rooster. The time to make appriopriate decisions in allmost all aspects of team organization was too short, and the decisions were made in the last hours prior to the closing of the application deadline. We are lucky that we got a team together. I wish You good luck next time!

For Your interest and consideration, I thank

One question: How we gonna deal with the time offset between europe and America?

[wuschel]

One question: How we gonna deal with the time offset between europe and America?

Good question. I.e. The Mainz-Chicago time offset is 7 hours. 23 GMT would require us Europeans to make our night shorter, while the US based players could start in the evening. On the other hand, if you have the flexibility to play at 7 am in the morning, the US players could do the midnight tour.

It really depends where we all are from. As I see hit, we have 2 EU players, and 6 US players, correct?

[Raufbold]

With my work schedule the shorter night option is the way to go.

This weekend is America's Independence Day celebration so I cant make a practice until Monday or Tuesday.

Next week we need to practice together.

You UK guys - how late are you all willing to practice (local time), 8-10 pm?

You US guys and girls - what are you all work schedule? Could you all make a mid afternoon practice?

Do we have server to practice or should we just jump into a pub?

[CareBear]

a squad with sgt princess and redsparrow, now that sounds like a laugh!

[RedSparrow]

Hehe. Fun times Mr Bear. I'll try to be deadly serious for a while.. You know, keep 'em guessing.

EDIT: @casualty: I can play all night long. PR I mean.. >_> Assuming of course it's not Thursday or Friday evening. (I work early Friday and even earlier on Saturday ): ). Monday I work evenings finishing 9pm GMT+1.

[wuschel]

UK? Guys, do not be fooled.. while not beeing a Kraut by ancestry, I am afraid I do indeed live in Krautland and not on the Island

Looking forward for some practise sessions.. from Monday or Tuesday on.

[Raufbold]

Soo, any news? My friendslist of recently installed XFire is still empty

[wuschel]

Soo, any news? My friendslist of recently installed XFire is still empty

Well, none so far. I wrote an email to You and Princess, but I think with no announcement in the air, there is not much motivation to move anywhere. Or am I wrong?

[_casualtyUR]

How about 20 gmt, Tuesday - 3 pm cst

5.5 hours from now

[wuschel]

Today is not possible for me. But I can jump in tomorrow, lets say from 21 GMT, and make that 4 hours

What do You say?
