I am looking forward to this.
So is there gonna be a round-robin or how will this work?
Mighty excited. Are non-competitors going to be allowed to spectate, do you think? Muted or spec-only chat, of course.

I believe there will be 2 rounds. One round robin round and of that, the top four teams will advance to the elimination round.
Does anybody feel like resurrecting Xenocide?
What kind of gold are we bringing home if we win?
We are looking for a web developer who knows PHP as well, in order to customize our site.
If you are interested in volunteering, PM me here or on IRC.
What sort of customizations? I know some PHP and I can probably make a layout, but there are probably people here better at it than me.
Fakewun, the co-founder of GT, is a freelance web developer. I'll throw the site at him and see if he can help. He knows his PHP.
AoTG and eh and .ddos said they'd join. That brings the total number of entrants up to 8, once they join. That's awesome. Let's try to get 12 groups participating in this. I'm very optimistic.
To clan leaders: you have a couple of weeks. There are some pretty skilled people floating around US Main. Try to make a recruit or two. It'll bolster the clan scene in the long run, even long after the tournament.
We are in!
Waiting for .ddos to register on the site.
Asked FSW to join.
Note: 1.1 clans are fully free to join, as long as they're willing to play on GPP.
gth lol
Sounds like fun! I'll try to get FSW entered, but I don't know if I can find enough active members...
Man, can't wait for this to start!
We are also looking for someone with enthusiasm (preferably not competing) to do shoutcasting/livestreaming of the matches.
Contact us on ##gpptourney on irc.freenode.net if you are interested.
Yay! AoTG and .ddos joined.
We're still open to other clans. You have exactly two weeks to register!
Seeds of Rebellion has been notified and you will know by the 20th if they will be atyending or not. Sorry that I don't have a set answer unfortunately most of the members are inactive...
I might be able to make this, but I'm not sure. Thanks to the summer, more than 75% of the clan is inactive for personal reasons. Hopefully they'll check the forums time to time..
How do you go inactive in summer? Isn't summer when you have time to play trem?
A lot of people come back for summer peak season, but a few of them go off on vacations.
Eh joined as well. To all competing teams: Make sure to have your squad finalized by June 20th.

During the school year you finish all your homework at 7ish annd it may be too late to go out. So what do you do! Play trem. Summer you have the whole day to enjoy the outside world no commitment to the tyranny of the dreaded school system.

Olympics? don't we need multiple game types to call it so
Seeds and Sir have joined! That brings us up to 10 tags represented in the '11 Olympics. Awesome!
Derelict may be joining too! Also, it would be very nice if somebody could get hold of >< and ask them to come back at least for the tournament.
I will notify Sv also... I have a contact with them.. anyone try acr... theybmight be interested.
Yes idea is yes. Thanks Kharnov.
Sorry to say, but I am here to withdraw AoTG from the tournament. I have not been in contact with my teammates, which makes me worried. I don't want you guys to expect us to be in the competition, so I might as well play it safe and withdraw AoTG. Until I get in contact with my teammates, we will not be able to compete. :(
As of now, if any teams need a decent player for a sub, I am open. Sorry about this Kharnov.
I thought this would have been obvious, but I will reiterate:
Each person may only be in ONE clan.
I will add this to the rules because people don't seem to have any common sense.

Just to clarify, AoTG isn't competing. Comet was saying that he would gladly sub for clans who are under the minimum because he isn't in a clan that is competing.
I have a way with words. :D

Our school gives students a tablet pc, and that's how I play Tremulous (same as my brother, Dark/Supra/Tweety/etc). At the end of the year, they collect them, reformat over the summer, rinse and repeat.
I only have 1 computer that's nearly always occupied, and not sufficient enough to play Tremulous (512mb ram, stock graphics card, 30 fps on atcshd MAXED, + shit wireless mouse).
I have better things to do in the summer anyways, I'd only play Trem if it was important, like this.
Does anyone know when the site for the gpp summer Olympics is going back up?
If the isn't back up within a day, we will move to one our backup sites.

The site is back up. Original post edited.

America, no solution to those problems that isn't pathetic in its predictability so you just pick something and deal with it.
Could be wrong, but I think you're still in 1.1. If you haven't played a good deal of GPP then you have no idea of how tolerable it now is for those who would bitch about its visual side effects.
Seeds won't be competing, but I think oP is. Update please!

lol. Considering our website doesn't exist anymore, it's not very easy to contact our non-clan. I don't even have Trem downloaded on my new comp. I am waiting for 1.2 (ha).
Some of the old >< members are always on the OPP ts, but they gave up on this game. lol

That's F'king bullshit! I play on american servers almost every time i go on! I also play lagged servers, and it's fucking hard to pounce one bsuit blaster down in 5 seconds if he's moving backwards! (i have to go behind him, and swipe him from behind, otherwise, i'd just be walking into his boundry box, preventing me from walking faster, and on the server, my swipe is no way close to the bsuit) So... Why not aussie-unlagged? no one complains, except the iceland-greenlands (500+ping). I've played a greenland unlagged on 1.1, it was hard, but i still got an okay score.
And so we begin!
Now that the registrations have been locked, the first matches and their schedule will be posted shortly.
To the participating teams, good luck!
Of course, GT is going to win, as usual.
Week 1 matches are up. All times are in GMT. Any match can be moved up to an earlier time that is convenient for both teams. Just find a referee and start the match. Also, we request each team have one member in the tournament channel so each team can be contacted easily. ##gpptourney at freenode.
I see we op is not in it D:
oP is in. eH dropped out. Check the site. gpptournament.aatrem.com (http://gpptournament.aatrem.com)
Nice. GT vs NoS. This is a match I've wanted to see for a while now, considering how similar our structure and early histories are.
We have me, F50 and Kynes confirmed for the match against NoS. Medi won't be able to make it due to driver ed. I'll ask some more GT members. Might do it earlier on Saturday, even.
Edit: we have Medi.

Yukihiro Matsumoto in the face of the default Ruby interpreter pretty much agrees.
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> "NoS" == "GT"
=> false
irb(main):002:0> "NoS" < "GT"
=> false
irb(main):003:0> "NoS" > "GT"
=> true
irb(main):004:0> whoa whoa whoa man how do you know
(And oh well, Python does too. Ask any recent interpreter. I can be asked too if anything.)
Just for a reminder, the times on the page at least according to the news item are GMT +0. Not to attack anyone but we've had quite a few scrims canceled due to some people not realising what timezones mean and in which timezone they are, especially because of the daylight saving time, so:
Check your timezone from here http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/.

(http://www.wiinintendo.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/its-on-like-donkey-kong.jpg)
Good luck to all those competing.
The first match will be tomorrow between GT and NoS. We've scheduled it a little earlier so that we can have all four members of the inner council in the opening round of the tournament. Probably between 4-6 EST on the Brindus server.
I don't know about GT or NoS skill level,but I can tell NoS are by far the most charismatic ones.
A slight change of events has occurred. Do not be alarmed. Only a couple of groups are affected and the others will proceed normally.
- NoS was not able to make it to the match today. We love NoS, but there's a slight problem. They are inactive and scattered across every single time zone.
- Sir| is more or less dead. Menace will decide tomorrow if they will drop out, or if they will compete on a rescheduled day.
- If I'm not mistaken, {261} and 'eH are currently on standby to replace NoS and Sir|
- The matches involving NoS and Sir| will be rescheduled to either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. After Wednesday if none of the matches have occurred, the replacement games will be on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
- Round two of the tournament will take place, as scheduled, next Sunday.
- Substitutes will be allowed for the first two weeks only under extreme circumstances while groups get their shit together. The substitutes must be approved by the Trem Clan Council. Discuss any use of substitutes over IRC at least one day prior to the scheduled match.
- If you cannot make it to a match, tell us and we will reschedule it. If you are a no-show more than twice in a row, your group will be dropped out of the tournament.
- The group that was ready while the other one didn't show up will not be penalized.
The following matches will go on as scheduled tomorrow:
2011-06-26 20:00 | :CaD: vs .oP:
2011-06-26 20:00 | .ddos vs DSPro
The following matches have been postponed until the first three days of next week:
2011-06-26 20:00 | =Pk:| vs Sir|
2011-06-26 20:00 | GT vs NoS
If Sir| and NoS do not show up, they will be replaced by eH and {261} respectively.
If eH and {261} decide not to compete, GT will face off against Pk. An even number of groups will be maintained in either case.
We're off to a rocky start, but I'm optimistic. People are excited for the matches that
will take place. Let's see how it goes.
about the CaD and oP is that tomorrow I am celebratin my B-day. I don't know If I can Make it or not. I can try, but If I don't make it. Can It be rescheduled on Tuesday?
Honestly, I don't think it should be rescheduled. Just my input.

I made it quite clear that matches could only be moved up. Your birthday was a fixed date and if you wanted to make the match, you merely had to go on IRC where Dracone and Yarou are usually always idling and request an alternate date. If your team doesn't make the first match and CaD produces the members, you will automatically forfeit the round.
Moreover, timeliness is key--depending on the severity of the lateness, time penalties may be enacted.
UnnamedPlayers > Pk > NoS > GT
QuoteHowever, there will be a livestream with commentary by Tremulous veterans and an additional realtime stream on IRC.
lies
Just so people don't have similar problems, it's best for the clans involved in upcoming matches to agree on match times together and sort out what that means in each of your timezones. I relied on the match starting at 20:00 GMT and by the time I got online I found it had occurred at 18:00 GMT. This was perhaps a special case, as yarou apparently wanted to get it over with but it does highlight the issue of not getting online early and establishing the situation.
Just to clarify, the default match time is every Sunday 20:00 GMT.
However, clans may reschedule days or hours earlier than that if they both have enough.
Sorry if this wasn't clear enough.
Here goes a brief summary of today whatever time it is to you.
:CaD: vs. 7th == 4-0 (flawless victory)
{261} vs. ^Pk == 3-1 (pretty hard-earned victory)
.ddos vs. DSPro == ∞-0 (forfeit of DSPro) (or at least nobody told me of any possible rescheduling when I asked)
You can reach the demos I recorded pretty easily (http://qrntz.users.anapnea.net/). The server is located in France.
I also have them on Dropbox, but well, I cannot for some reason link to them.
Looking forward to the remaining matches!
Qrntz sent me the demos via dropbox. So far, I only have one output video: 261 vs PK on Niveus.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc9kL2Snu_8 <-- It's an exciting game, and please make sure to watch in HD if your GPU allows. Any other res really does the game a disservice.

next time I'll have to look into this "dodge" "sprint" and "talking across the internet through ear muffs" you speak about.
anyways they were really close games, I'd almost call it a tie. Good job team :)

It's almost time for Week 2 matches. Remember, this is a round robin tournament, so even if you lost in the first week, it's not over yet and there is still a chance to make it to the finals. The finals will be the top four teams from the round robin tournament.
After steamrolling NoS, we had a much more lengthy match against {261}. It lasted over two hours, and I believe in all four games, both sides reached stage 3. We had me, F50, Kynes, Pazuzu and Lucid. I don't exactly recall who {261} had, but they did have Qata.
First map was Niveus. GT lost both rounds after about a half hour each.
Second map was Karith. GT won the first round, as humans, using a very lol skybase. The second round, as aliens, we tied. I think if we had a few more minutes we might've been able to destroy the highly weakened human base, but that's irrelevant now. {261} beat GT 2-1.
Good game, {261}! We almost tied you, and we hope to see you in the semi-finals.
Here was our lol skybase:

Good match 261 and GT. Check out the latest rankings here (http://66.90.101.46/~aatremco/index.php?league=1&season=1&op=gr&id=4)
The scoring system has been slightly updated. Celestial originally intended it to be per individual round, not for the overall game. Thus..
(http://i.imgur.com/6DL8G.png)
For the moment, GT and {261} are tied for first place. Of course, other clans have their matches schedule for this weekend, so it won't be that way for very long.

.ddos just had its match against NoS.
All four rounds were won by .ddos. The first map was Niveus, and the second was Thanatos. Yarou subbed for a NoS member when one of them left.
+12 points to .ddos.
Hello,
Today, there was a scheduled match against :CaD: at 1pm PST, however, due to the unavailability of players, I talked with Yarou and we scheduled our match later today, 7pm PST, which he accepted. Unfortunately, no one showed up(:CaD: members) and when I checked on the site, it says we had lost games we hadn't even played. Multiple :CaD: members were present when me and Yarou had this discussion, so, I request a correction to the site, and an actual match in order to decide the winner.
Best Regards,
DSPro|Ethereal.
Quote from: Celestial_Rage on June 26, 2011, 07:27:44 AM
I made it quite clear that matches could only be moved up. If your team doesn't make the first match and CaD produces the members, you will automatically forfeit the round.
It strikes me as fantastically stupid to only be able to move matches up, not back...
Well, we have all the round robin matches available online and what week. By default, they will be on a Sunday, it shouldn't take too much preparation to check when your match is going to be and make arrangements. And the problem with postponing is that matches tend to keep getting postponed. Matches will only be postponed under very special circumstances.
Honestly, I don't think Cadence should have to forfeit the match if they are willing to do a rematch at a time that works for everyone. I think everyone agrees that a game is better than a forfeit.
Cadence didn't forfeit, DSPro did.

Cadence didn't forfeit, DSPro did.
At this point, I don't think anyone has forfeited. The facts are:
1) There was an agreed upon time between DSPro and Cadence.
2) Cadence didn't show up to that agreed upon time.

You guys didn't show up at 4 PM, we waited for you guys (after Lecavalier said he was waiting on a fourth) for a long time before leaving our server to watch NoS vs. ddos. Celestial Rage has pointed out numerous times that matches cannot be postponed, not sure why you can't comprehend that.
Quote from: Ethereal on July 04, 2011, 03:40:34 AM

It sounds like I've missed out on some of this, so I'll just give my perspective:
We waited for DSPro throughout Sunday and they didn't show up.
If the rule is that matches can't be moved up then no agreement between two people can change that. If everyone agrees the rule is disrupting an already bad situation then I'd hope we can change the rule (or at least make an exception).
I would be glad to play the match since after two weeks in this tournament I still haven't actually played.
Quote from: Nux on July 04, 2011, 09:42:19 PM

There was really no need to wait around all Sunday - just show up at the time you agreed. I think there is confusion here because someone on Cad didn't tell the rest of the team the time the match was to start.
As for the comments about not being able to postpone - I'm sure other matches have started past the originally arranged time when both clans have agreed - even if only for ten minutes. Should these delayed games also be forfeit although both clans agreed? If you are going to create a principle, then don't pick and choose when to apply it.
you guys still wanna scrim? id still do it, dont rly care.
Pk and GT had their match today. PK: 3, GT: 0 , Tie: 1. Good job to both teams.
take that gt scumbags yaaaaeah pk

Well, we haven't done our scrim yet so let's do it. Arrange a time with Ethereal via iirc.
ggs
hope we can finish later
we finished our first scrim (non-tourny match) from last week or whenever and lost both rounds so that scrim went 1-3-0 for ><
then we started our tournament match and went 0-0-2
still need to finish our tourny match the server crapped out they lagged it out with their ddos
cant find them right now though so i look forward to finishing our match later on

4-0 ddos vs. xenocide. Xenocide's behaviour was... kind of fucked up, with camping the whole 3rd round and doing a killserver in the 4th, but I guess asking for some kind of disciplinary action won't lead anywhere.
GGs guys. There were some problems with this scrim but I think everything will be resolved in time. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to play. You truly are now the MEGA-clan of Tremulous. Please take that as a compliment because its true. I do have issue with your issue of the 3rd round of the game. At this point, we were already down 2 games to 0 and were looking to achieve a tie to acquire tournament points, a very viable strategy. Thank you.

wtf is this shit 4-0 oh hell naw bih final results were 0-0-2. The matches on your server were a continuation of a previous scrim (non torny matches)
(they dont count)
the second pair of scrims on the US server were plauged with many issues that caused them to be a tie. Ryan could not shoot his gun, and >< ts was under attack. second match the server mysteriously died so who knows who could have won that match.
this is my decision as an official ref

when is the next match happening? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
The matches are most likely all done for this week since it's almost the end of sunday. Matches happen every Sunday, 8:00 pm is when the matches were supposed to be played, but they usually schedule them earlier on sunday.
Today's match occurred at approximately 2:15PM PST and lasted for an hour or two. GT was pitted against 7th. Since there's been no official announcement yet, I guess I can tell you what happened: GT won 4 - 0 against 7th. The maps played were nano and niveus. It was quite amazing. Highlights included a three-granger tower by GT to reach a certain spot in one of the maps and GT building a rather awesome human base right above alien default in Niveus and painsaw-rushing 7th, which was building in the crate room. I only have one thing I can say.
What a granger of a match!
And NoS vs. DSPro didn't seem to happen.
I was the only one who appeared from NoS, with Mirage joining me later. Lecavalier said DSPro were waiting for us, but whatever. There was no match.
Who is op goin against next?
Week 5 is underway!
Matches have been posted for next week, please use IRC or these forums to coordinate rescheduling.
I can't wait to see oP vs NoS, and you know why.

Every single game so far has been 0-4 for both clans.
Clans worthy enough to fight each other. :laugh:

GT 0-4 ddos
Another GT victory.

GRANGER IS NOT FOR SUCKING
:battpack:Round I Results:defcomp:
(http://i.imgur.com/fLyCA.png)
The first segment of the tournament, the round robin portion, has concluded today:
- In the lead, we have the European .ddos, with a perfect winning streak, having won 84 out of 84 possible points!
- CaD and (><) are both tied for second place, with 61 points each.
- Pk has 50 points, beating GT with 41 points for fourth place.
- DSPro, the one-hit wonder of the tournament, only played a single game. However, it got 12 points out of it!
- NoS and oP haven't scored, but we're glad you guys showed up!
Next week, we will have the
semi-finals!There will be two matches to determine the two clans that will make it to the
finals:
But wait! There's more!There's a distinct possibility that CaD will not make it to the semi-finals, due to internal issues. In this case, they will drop out of the tournament, putting Pk into third place and GT into fourth. If this occurs, the
alternative semi-finals will be:
:barricade:Stay tuned!:jetpack:
The first match is in!
GT scored a single victory, breaking the .ddos win streak! Overall, the match was 3-1 with .ddos in the lead. It was very fun, very lengthy, and we're glad that we were able to have this excellent match. Thanks .ddos!
Now we're waiting for the results of the Pk vs (><) match.
edit: (><) beat Pk 4-0.
Thus, the
final matches are next week!
We will have two matches:
So, when are the final matches going to happen? Today, tomorrow, what time?
EDIT:
Asked about it on IRC, if anyone interested:
ddos vs (><) is happening probably in monday, tuesday or wednesday. GT is owning Pk probably tomorrow (if not, same as ddos and (><)). Same time as always (9-10pm GMT).
Even I haven't got the faintest idea when the big final match is happening. How will it happen during the weekdays with the time zone differences?
The matches are the same as always. Sunday @ 20:00 GMT. If you can't make it, reschedule, although, it is kind of late for that.
Xenocide told me they'd get back to me by today.

We will not make the final be a forfeited match in any case, no.
That's true. I'm sure you'll decide a reasonable time.
GT, tomorrow still works for the match against Pk right?
Yes, we'll be there.
THE FINAL
ddos and >< have come to a conclusion to have The Final held on Saturday, 27 Aug 2011, at the usual 20:00 GMT time. I believe both clans are trustworthy enough to allow spectators, so bring popcorn, drinks and last but not least yourself to witness the grand last spectacle of this tournament!

Mumble server, or, as well, I'm going to be on a higher bandwith stream, so streaming may be a possibility, albeit I never did get past some of the technical glitches I was going through with that.
Looks like I might actually be able to make it this weekend, good luck opposing forces!
Hey everyone! I would've posted sooner, but for some reason the forums have constantly been down.
Anyway, the tournament has ended today!
The results:
1st place: .ddos
2nd place: (><)
3rd place: Pk
4th place: GT
With a near-perfect win streak, the Europeans have taken home the gold this year! Congratulations, .ddos! Xenocide came in a close second, after nearly tying with .ddos today in the final match. Pk beat GT for third place in the finals, although GT maintains the moral victory, as GT has not killed a single granger all tournament. What a granger.
CaD, DSPro, NoS, and 7th did not place into the finals, but I still think they deserve a round of applause for participating. Thanks guys! We wouldn't have had such a large tournament if it wasn't for your clans entering. There's always next year!
I'm also grateful for the assistance in setting up, regulating and hosting the tournament. To everyone that helped in some way, thank you! You all made this possible.
