Hey first I just wanted to say thanks to you all. You all are one of the last clans that actually is hosting some consistantly good public servers in ET. Love playing on the hardcore server and the new ETpro SW. I had a thought earlier tonight that I think could be a really fun and cool thing if it happened. I was thinking that, what if once a week, like a Sunday night, for a few hours that night the Hardcore server did a pick up game(PUG).
My thought on how we could do this: So we get a day(say Sunday starting at 8pm) the server goes private. And you all have a channel in your Teamspeak marked ya know like "Sunday Night PUG Channel". And the first (16-20; so like teams of 8v8 or 10v10) players that are in the channel are the only ones that will know the password to the server(an admin in =f|a= is in the channel and gives it too everybody in the channel). So they all join the server and two captains are choosen or whatever and they pick their players and scrimmage for like 2 hours or so. And then after that the server goes back to it's normal public settings and everyone is able to connect again.
My idea is this would be a good way for the regulars on the server and some of the newer players to chat, bond, and have some fun playing in a more competitive environment than just a straight up public setting. And obviously it wouldn't be as serious as a scrimmage on an etpro server on a standard 6v6 format. But it would be a fun little weekly game where people that enjoy a little more of a competitive enviornment can get together with those who also enjoy the same thing.
I think it could be a lot of fun and I would be willing to help out with the setup and coordination of such an event.
