K, let’s get this set up. We need to find other hosts to set up lobbies to hold the matches in, and figure out the finer points of how we are doing this. I would say we have a lobby set up, all private slots, and we invite the match in. Also, will we want any commentators. I would say not right now, but once we get going it might be a nice thing to have
I’m cool with being one of the hosts this weekend. Might as well help any way I can.
Hmmmmmm, that is specifically for recording in mind right? I was thinking that everyone would just hook up via gt invites and play matches on a “as called” basis. That process kind of messes up you recording individual matches before top 3 and 8 though. Commentators would be cool but, lets get the logistics of these events set up first I think.
Anyone else trying to chime in with ideas for this?
I don’t quite know how we would set it up though, so both people could see the match, as commentators usually come in pairs
Not really, just stop the recording, and set up the next one, do all the encoding and uploading when it’s all done.
Well for top 8 we’re definitely going to need whoever’s currently recording to host. Other than that, we might as well get some volunteers to host before the top 8 and run through them as smoothly as possible.
The commentary being done would be difficult because more than likely, no one would actually be present at the recording persons location. We would pretty much either have to do retroactive commentating, which can be good and bad. Good in the sense that you have more time to break things down bad in that you dont have the same sense of excitement while commentating after the fact and you would need to edit the commentary in over the vid.
I might be able to get someone to come over and record with me in a couple weeks. When she gets back form camp I’m going to be teaching my girlfriend this game, she might be able to commentate with me
Yeah, that is something we can come back too. There are already a few people who doing this type of thing with the commentary anyways, Ryan hunter and Jibbo. Maybe those guys would have solutions to the commentary stuff. I just want to make sure that we can run a good, fast, dependable online tournament for right now. Recording some quality play is also paramount, even if it just a few matches per tournament.
k, I can’t wait to do this
Alright, so can someone start up a sign up sheet somewhere? Also, who’s willing to volunteer some this weekend to host on xbox live and psn?
Yeah, I’ll set that up in a couple of minutes, have chores to take care of first
Quick question, should we make it so they can only enter either the Xbox or the PS3 one, so we don’t accidentally have match overlap
Yeah, I figure most people probably don’t own both but, just in case. One console or the other.
If we were doing sign ups, people should just let us know in this thread if they want to enter. Seems like the easiest way to do it and I will put everyone in the 2nd post for both systems.
sounds good, let’s do that.
You know, I feel like there has to be a better way to get the word out.
I would suggest seeing about getting some of this info up on rawtag
You can put me down for a HUGE maybe, since I want to play but got some business to attend to. I play on 360.
Rawtag?
