Post subject:  Looking for some ideas for giftgiving
Ok, so I opened one of the large presents (gives 23 people a random item) on one of the servers a few weeks ago and it was quite nice seeing a few people get hats from it. So I was thinking of maybe making it a regular thing every month (or maybe even every two weeks). I would prefer for the items to go to SpA members and server regulars though rather than just some random who's on the server at the time but then is never seen again (although randoms who get a free item and then stuck around and become regulars would be nice too). :5:

So I was looking for ideas on maybe the best way to do this, plus it would be nice to maybe make some kinda fun event out of it. The first thing that came to mind for me would be to maybe try and mix it in with Melee Sunday somehow, maybe password off server 2 every two weeks or so (2 weeks rather than weekly so we don’t all burn out on melee Sunday again) and just try and make it into a little event night, mumble, beers, presents and just all try and have a good laugh :4

maybe even try and get some different events going every now and again in case we get bored of the melee.

So what do you guys think, or anyone have any other ideas on how to make it interesting? :P

Make it a public 32 players server so only 2/3 of the players, half of them pubs, get a present?
That should be interesting to watch. :ugly:

Sounds good wildblaze, you got my support :D and help if needed!

but doesnt it cost you to buy these gifts? shouldnt u be spending ur money on more useful things, like crack & hookers etc :D

Also, id like to do a medieval tf2 game (perhaps on that castle map), so only huntsman, demo swords, demo axes, charging shield thing, axtinquisher (pyro can only use flame thrower to ignite bows) cant think of anymore off the top of my head, but u get the idea ^^ anything that stays some what with the theme.

I don't mind buying the gifts, need an excuse to stop buying junk anyway, just don't got room for half the crap I buy lately, plus I somehow spent £20 on keys the other day without realizing it so I’ve given up on crates now which should save some money :lol:

And the medieval TF2 sounds pretty cool, wonder if we could maybe get a few ideas and try and get a different event going every couple of weeks to try and keep people interested :)

cool cool, i traded a crappy pryo hat for a key yesterday, and got a shortstop... i wasnt amused...

:S

i had some other ideas for a game event, if we could find a map which is pretty narrow and is on a cliff, we could do a blow back pyro event, sort of like the gladiators duel.

Heavy only melee event. The gloves are ON!

Spy ONLY 2Fort. (or any ctf)

12 v 1... 1 being a spy (needs to be a good spy.. and to make it fair, no pyros :S)

Rabbit hunt, 6 Archer Snipers vs 6 Scouts (must have the bunny hats ^^) and the scouts can only melee and run!

sounds like pretty cool ideas, although needing the bunny ears might be a bit much (though if they have them it would be prefared for them to wear it). :lol:

Would be nice if we could maybe have a random Hat giveaway as the big prize for every event, some people donate a spare weapon or 2 that they have to a pool, with the hope that we could get enough scrap metal from them to make a random hat that gets given to a random player, only problem is how to choose who to give it to, any ideas?

the winner?


bunny ears wouldnt be a nescity but would visually make it look more fun. Just means the hunters can try and track down some pesky wabbits!

would probably be easy to make since you aren't likely gonna find exactly what you want.

Medieval tf2 on cp_castle :4 We could have a boxing event on this http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/146300 - 1 on 1, lets see who stays alive the longest :mrgreen: Also maybe a good old highlander football match http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/51448 with presents - speedball style ? I played this map long ago and it was epic fun - giant ball in the middle, some healthpacks and massive melee brawl with goalkeepers being heavies :D
Also Ballsy there is a gladiator style map for airblast gladiators http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/56950 :mrgreen:

fairplay bart those are some fantastic map choices :D

Post subject:  Re: Looking for some ideas for giftgiving
here's we do this then

- get a server set up like we do for Anna's melee sunday's (in this case, minus the melee + presents plugin); password protected preferably
- set the map to cp_castle, 2fort or some other appropriate theme
- everyone plays mediaevel (however you spell it D:) tf2; demoknights, huntsman snipers and whatever else fits in with the theme.
- invite all yer friends, turn on the ol' alltalk, crack open some presents and enjoy the epic win

can we do this, or can we do this? :4

2 people spawn as a huntsman sniper, rest of people spawn as scouts in bunny ears, sniper has to kill as many rabbits in x amount of time, custom map with trees and shit.

That is a mod I want.

If we protect the server with a password, how would we let our regulars know the password?
