You will also get a print-out crown.

Remember the tournament if for  TEAMS NOT CLANS, so if you want to make a team out of some friends/clan memebers and sign up!

Sadly though, i had to clear out the database to fix some bugs, so everyone will need to re-register!

Best wishes,
Smokey


FYI: If this tournament goes well and such, future tournaments will have good prizes.

does it have to be IRC? I already have msn and aim, and my brother is already angry at me for installing those two :-?

[Undeference]

Can I see the crown so I know if I want it? (*can't wait to print it and save myself the trouble of competing*)

AIM? And MSN? Get rid of that junk and install Gaim.

NEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I have friends who are on msn, and my brother will kill me *whimper*

[Ksempac]

GAIM allows you to use AIM, MSN, IRC and other protocols at the same time with only one application. Freeware, Open-source, without ads (contrary to MSN)...

Your brother will be happy that you got ride of the 2 junks softwares, you will be able to speak to your friends, and you will also be able to connect to IRC as much as you want.

I dont wanna be harsh with you but putting your Email, MSN, etc... on a public website for everyone to enjoy is the best way to get spammed.

If Smokey requires everyone to have a valid Email address accessible for members of the league, at least he should prevent non members to see the email addresses

[Smokey]

everything but email is optional, if you would like..tomorrow i can make the email displayed only to admins.

[Somethief]

Just make a switch so you can choose either to show or hide your email, most if the users of this forum also has their email visible to everybody..

[benplaut]

I'd like to sign up to be a spectator for one of the later-on matches    :roll:
good luck to all competitors!

Yeah some are stupid enough to put their email address on display on this forum and then they come to complain because they got spam... :evil: :roll:
http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2128

Anyway no matter how he does it, Smokey should offer a minimal protection to his users by either removing all addresses from public display (i think it s the best solution, because many people dont know about the dangers of showing your address on the web) or allowing users to hide their adresses.

Thanks Smokey for the fast answer However i must say i wont join your league, not because i dont want to, but because i cant :/ Until December i m stuck behind a loosy connection.

Iv added a temp fix for it, if you're not logged in as an admin, the email is blank.

ill work on it more later

[Neo]

You'll probably find people do know about leaving their email on websites, they just don't care.

[Smokey]

Personally, i dont care but if anyone has a worry about it, its my job to fix the problem

[Matt2k10]

Why do we have to be on irc at the time of the match? I'd like to join but I don't think my computer can handle both Trem and mIRC or any other IRC client =/

I doubt that. Well, maybe not mIRC since I don't know what goes in there, but an IRC client is really nothing in terms of ressource usage.

As long as you don't join a 2000+ users chan with join/part and  net split events every few seconds, you should be ok

[Matt2k10]

On second thought, I don't think I'm good enough to take on the pros just yet
I signed up for the site, though.

[holyknight]

hahaha, maybe I'll get all my friends and get a team! They all just started and are noobs. HAH!

[Neo]

The more noobs the merrier, atleast for the other team

[Smokey]

Indeed.


Almost 50 members, WHOOT.

[Smokey]

tiny update:

Made it so team emails are also hidden, added a newplayer thing on main page and changed top right logo

Compairison.

[Smokey]

Added a support desk feature

[Neo]

Currently 59 peeps, 13 teams. Granted over half the teams consist of only 1 person.

Might try and set up Merc squads at some point for people who don't have a clan.
