<p>Hi all!!</p>



<p>First of all, for the uninitiated, if <span style="font-size: 14pt;">you&#8217;ve never heard of Rock2ober (yes that is the correct spelling), stop reading,&nbsp; and check out <a title="Rock2ober faq" href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=98" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Rock2ober FAQ</a>. Back? Ok, let&#8217;s proceed:</span></p>



<p>Secondly, before I go any further, get your diaries out, and let&#8217;s focus on the most important thing &#8211; the time and date of this special event:</p>



<p></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>What</strong>: <b>Rock2ober 2024</b></span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>When</strong>: Sunday 27th October 2024, 23:00 GMT. Convert this to your timezone <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Rock2ober+2024&amp;iso=20241027T23&amp;p1=1440&amp;ah=3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. note: Arrive early so as to not miss out on the pre-match entertainment!</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Where</strong>: tastyspleen.net:26666</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>How</strong>: Download the AGR client <a href="https://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=754">here,</a> and tell people you will be busy this Sunday!!</span></p>



<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Who</strong>: Anyone into Teams, Fortresses, and </span>multiplayer FPS Action<span style="font-size: 14pt;">! Also, curious newbies who want to see something *new*, and see wtf all the fuss is about!</span></p>



<p><strong>Why</strong>: Surely you jest. Ok, you must be new here, and you didn&#8217;t read the Rock2ober FAQ. Grrr.</p>



<p>To whom it may concern,</p>



<p>Rock2ober 2024 is upon us!&nbsp; Once again, we attempt to FILL a server with 32 multiplayer maniacs, all gathered at the same time, in the same place, to battle it out in the most gruesome and punishingly marathonic (yes, I made a new word) event ever. Whether you&#8217;re a crazed AGR Devotee, or a Utter Newbie, if you just love your TF Action anyway you can get it, this is your chance to make history, and experience Attackers Go Red in all its Gory Glory. If you want a preview, get your heart pumping by feasting on the blockbuster <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzCxAncifqY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rock2ober 2015 Movie part1</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aT35KkAWqA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rock2ober 2014 Movie part1</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYMj3RIf-EI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Part 2</a>!!</p>



<p><em>(wow)</em></p>



<p>The <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=56">Weekly AGR Sessions</a> have going for 16 YEARS STRAIGHT. We&#8217;ve cracked 32 people before, and we can do it again. To experience that VERY special 32 player &#8220;full server&#8221; feeling, I&#8217;m once again reaching out beyond AttackersGoRed, to the wider world of TF players. Vanilla TF, Classic CustomTF, Fortress One, Prozac, MegaTF, CTF, or TWCTF, even TF2 and Fortnight people- for an event this big, I <em>know</em>&nbsp;all TF players, of ALL genres will want to be there. Yes, AGR is &#8216;different&#8217; but hey, the core idea is &#8216;Blue defends flag&#8217; / &#8216;Red captures flag&#8217;, so anyone who has ever played some kind of Team oriented multiplayer FPS will be up to speed in no time. So, don&#8217;t miss out on a rare opportunity to play in a 32 player game in 2024, ok? YOU can help make this happen by spreading the word about Rock2ober 2024 to EVERY player you know, current players, retired players, and of course,  potential players (children are the future y&#8217;all!). Release your inner spam merchant! They WILL thank you for it. ps. To get their blood pumping, tell &#8217;em to sit right down, and check out these (now &#8216;ancient&#8217;) promos for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f77r-vu9xE" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rock2ober 2010</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHQdQcdsngc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rock2ober 2011</a>.</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">VOICE CHAT</span><br>Yes discord is popular in 2024, BUT but AGR has <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?p=1260" target="_blank" rel="noopener">built in voip</a>, and voice chat is recorded into the demos as well! Your descendants will be hearing your voice in a thousand years! Note: if anyone is being a dickhead during the game: a: type &#8216;users&#8217;, b: get their id number, and c: at the console, type &#8220;ignore &lt;id number&gt;&#8221;. Easey Peasey.</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">DEMOS</span><br>Demos will be available for download, check the comments section below (get&nbsp;<a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=1533" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Registered</a>&nbsp;on the AGR Mailing List to receive email notifications), and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/AGRMania">the AGRMania youtube channel</a>&nbsp;for details to follow.</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">ROCK2OBER 2024 SPECIAL PREMATCH EVENT</span><br>The pipers will be there, AND MORE!! Get in early!!</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">WHAT IF THE SERVER IS FULL?</span><br>In the chance we DO get 32 players(!), it *probably* won&#8217;t stay at 32 for long, so just reconnect.</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">EXCUSES DESTROYED</span><br>&#8220;Ok, but I don&#8217;t have Quake anymore, and don&#8217;t know / remember where to get the client!&#8221;. Go <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=754" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>



<p>&#8220;Ok, I&#8217;m not really an AGR player&#8221; and/or&nbsp; &#8220;It&#8217;s been so long, I don&#8217;t remember how to play!&#8221;. Go<a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=1120" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;here.</a></p>



<p>&#8220;Ok, but I&#8217;m married, and my wife doesn&#8217;t approve of me playing computer games.&#8221; Go <a href="https://www.fcfcoa.gov.au/fl/divorce/divorce-overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>



<p><strong>MAP SCHEDULE</strong><br>1. Pre Match Entertainment and speeches</p>



<p>2. rock2 (92 minutes)</p>



<p>3. intermission (10 minutes)</p>



<p>4. rock2 (92 minutes) (Team damage off, mirror damage off)</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">TECHNICAL SUPPORT</span><br>Attackers Goes Red uses the cutting edge FTE game engine and has some &#8216;new tech&#8217; which can occasionally be um.. &#8216;quirky&#8217;, so&nbsp;I STRONGLY advise you to connect to the server BEFORE the day of the game, at one of the <a href="https://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=56">Weekly AGR Sessions </a>to make sure everything is 100%.&nbsp; There will also be a Rock2ober Testing Session 24 hours before (Saturday 27th, 7pm EST). You can also join the <a href="https://discord.gg/44zNR4nq">AGR discord Channel</a>, which has a  &#8216;technical-issues&#8217; section. Finally, you can also contact me (onemanclan@attackersgored.com) if you have any issues or questions.  NOTE: there will be NO tech support on the day (because I&#8217;ll be <em>playing</em>!)</p>



<p>Let&#8217;s make this happen people. If you love Quake1 team fortress, and you crave BIG, team-orientated, action-packed games which leave you utterly exhausted, ecstatic and exhilarated, keep October 27th, 23:00GMT free! (that&#8217;s 7PM EST in the USA)</p>



<p>Looking forward to seeing you there,</p>



<p>OneManClan</p>



<p>ps. Spread the word!! Send a link to this page to anyone you think can stand it!</p>

This is the EIGHTH annual 2Fortember event, the annual get together where we attempt to fill a Quakeworld server w 32 players like days of yore. The big question is, can 32 players be done in 2023? There&#8217;s only one way to find out. So get ready for TF insanity, AGR style, at this years:</p>

Vanilla TF, Classic CustomTF, Fortress One, MegaTF, CTF, or TWCTF &#8211;  for an event this big, I <em>know</em> all TF players, of ALL genres will want to be there. Yes, AGR is &#8216;different&#8217; but hey, the core idea is &#8216;Blue defends flag&#8217; / &#8216;Red captures flag&#8217;, so anyone who has ever played Team Fortress will be up to speed in no time. So, don&#8217;t miss out on a rare opportunity to play in a 32 player game in 2023, ok? YOU can help make this happen by spreading the word about Rock2ober 2023 to EVERY Quake player you know, current and retired. Release your inner spam merchant! They WILL thank you for it. ps. To get their blood pumping, tell &#8217;em to sit right down, and check out these (now &#8216;ancient&#8217;) promos for <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f77r-vu9xE" target="_blank">Rock2ober 2010</a>, and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHQdQcdsngc" target="_blank">Rock2ober 2011</a>. </p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">VOICE CHAT</span><br>Yes discord is popular in 2023, BUT but AGR has <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?p=1260" target="_blank" rel="noopener">built in voip</a>, and voice chat is recorded into the demos as well! Your descendants will be hearing your voice in a thousand years! Note: if anyone is being a dickhead during the game: a: type &#8216;users&#8217;, b: get their id number, and c: at the console, type &#8220;ignore &lt;id number&gt;&#8221;. Easey Peasey.</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">DEMOS</span><br>Demos will be available for download, check the comments section below (get&nbsp;<a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=1533" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Registered</a>&nbsp;on the AGR Mailing List to receive email notifications), and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/AGRMania">the AGRMania youtube channel</a>&nbsp;for details to follow.</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">ROCK2OBER 2023 SPECIAL PREMATCH EVENT</span><br>The pipers will be there, AND MORE!! Get in early!!</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">WHAT IF THE SERVER IS FULL?</span><br>In the chance we DO get 32 players(!), it *probably* won&#8217;t stay at 32 for long, so just reconnect.</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">EXCUSES DESTROYED</span><br>&#8220;Ok, but I don&#8217;t have Quake anymore, and don&#8217;t know / remember where to get the client!&#8221;. Go <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=754" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>



<p>&#8220;Ok, I&#8217;m not really an AGR player&#8221; and/or&nbsp; &#8220;It&#8217;s been so long, I don&#8217;t remember how to play!&#8221;. Go<a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=1120" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&nbsp;here.</a></p>



<p>&#8220;Ok, but I&#8217;m married, and my wife doesn&#8217;t approve of me playing computer games.&#8221; Go <a href="https://www.fcfcoa.gov.au/fl/divorce/divorce-overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>



<p><strong>MAP SCHEDULE</strong><br>1. Pre Match Entertainment and speeches</p>



<p>2. rock2 (65 minutes)</p>



<p>3. intermission (10 minutes)</p>



<p>4. rock2 (65 minutes) (Team damage off, mirror damage off)</p>



<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">TECHNICAL SUPPORT</span><br>AGR uses the cutting edge FTE game engine and has some &#8216;new tech&#8217; which can occasionally be um.. &#8216;quirky&#8217;, so&nbsp;I STRONGLY advise you to connect to the server BEFORE the day of the game, to make sure everything is 100%.&nbsp; There will be a Testing Session 24 hours before (Saturday 28th, 7pm EST). Also, you can contact me (onemanclan@attackersgored.com) if you have any issues or questions. NOTE: there will be NO tech support on the day (because I&#8217;ll be playing!)</p>



<p>Let&#8217;s make this happen people. If you love Quake1 team fortress, and you crave BIG, team-orientated, action-packed games which leave you utterly exhausted, ecstatic and exhilarated, keep October 29th, 23:00GMT free! (that&#8217;s 7PM EST in the USA)</p>



<p>Looking forward to seeing you there,</p>



<p>OneManClan</p>



<p>ps. Spread the word!! Send a link to this page to anyone you think can stand it!</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>As you know, AGR development never stops. Gameplay is always assessed, and I am always looking for potential improvements. On the other hand, I appreciate that the imperfections and &#8216;illogical&#8217; stuff add to the fun and unpredictability of the game, so I&#8217;m careful to not do anything that potentially makes the game less fun. Two issues today, both involving weapons which are &#8216;supposed&#8217; to be defensive, used for offense. Lets start w the one that&#8217;s a &#8216;bigger deal&#8217;:</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>SENTRY GUNS AS OFFENSIVE WEAPONS</strong></span></p>
<p>AGR stalwart Doc has been doing something which I don&#8217;t like, and I&#8217;m not sure what do to about it. He&#8217;s been building Sentry Guns (&#8216;SGs&#8217;) outside of the Blue base. Sometimes in random spots, often turreted. Why is this a problem?</p>
<p>A: Many maps have wide open areas between the bases, with plenty of places to build a SG, many of those places are hidden, in darkness, behind obstacles, and on some maps (yes this is the &#8216;fault&#8217; of the map), behind clouds, ie these SGs are literally &#8216;not visible&#8217;.</p>
<p>B: So Red Attackers spawn, leave their base, get killed by the SG before they get near the Blue base, and have to try again, and focus on killing the SG. Finally after a few minutes the SG is destroyed, but Blue can build another one, equally difficult to spot (before being killed), and Red has to spend a LOT of time killing SGs. This is frustrating, annoying and repetitive. In a nutshell, it is (in my opinion) NOT FUN, and is not what the gameplay is supposed to be about. If we had say..  8+ Reds, the &#8216;offensive&#8217; SGs wouldn&#8217;t last long enough to be a big deal, but in (eg) a  3 vs 3 game.. forcing a Red to go &#8216;random SG killer&#8217; for 50 minutes, turns it effectively into a 2 vs 2 game.  Meanwhile:</p>
<p>C: Blues are sitting there in their base wondering where the Reds are. Ok, it is a good feeling for an Engineer to get enough peace and quiet to build and hack everything 100%.. but .. then what? Sitting around waiting for the occasional Red. I&#8217;d rather lose an action packed game, than &#8216;win&#8217; a boring one.</p>
<p>The thing is&#8230; I&#8217;m not sure what to do. It isn&#8217;t against the rules to build SGs outside the base, and I&#8217;ve done it myself on occasion. Currently I&#8217;ve asked Doc to please not to it ALL game EVERY game, and he&#8217;s been (usually) pretty decent about it. But the game shouldn&#8217;t *need* an admin to deal with this, and shouldn&#8217;t rely on peoples good will. So&#8230; what are the options? Just brainstorming:</p>
<ol>
<li>Make it take longer to build SGs.. 10+ seconds(?)</li>
<li>Make SGs not fire while they are being turretted?</li>
<li>Enforce &#8216;zones&#8217; where Blue are allowed to build SGs?</li>
<li>Make it take longer to upgrade SGs? (iirc TF2 makes you whack w a spanner a few times before the upgrade happens)</li>
</ol>
<p>I dunno&#8230; So I need ideas/feedback from you guys, the players. This is especially a big deal because if experienced players get annoyed at this, how will newbies react? Yes, I know AGR is for experienced players who have been playing for years, but I believe that children are the future, teach them well and help them play, show them all the power they possess inside, give them a sense of pride, to make it easier for them to get to Blues base where the flag is, and where the action is supposed to be. Seriously the last thing we want is new players trying AGR, and their first experience is A: frustration and/or B: Boredom.</p>
<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve already implemented idea 1 and 2, its easily switchable on/off, I&#8217;m not sure if it will make a difference. They tell me that even professional AAA multiplayer games can be ruined by people &#8216;not playing them properly&#8217;, so maybe the only way to enjoy the freedom AGR offers is to actually have an admin there, making sure people are playing &#8216;properly&#8217;. Maybe the only alternative is to make everything idiot proof, and this dumb everything down, but this is NOT what AGR is all about, not why we&#8217;ve been there every week for over a decade now.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>PIPEBOMBS AS OFFENSIVE WEAPONS</strong></span></p>
<p>The original idea of pipebombs is to place them on the ground and blow up enemies walking on them. However people have been using pipebombs to attack for years..  by throwing them at enemies and detonating them mid air. Is this a good thing .. or not?</p>
<p>Attitude A: It&#8217;s good. It&#8217;s fun, we&#8217;re used to it the way it is, don&#8217;t change it if it ain&#8217;t broken.</p>
<p>Attitude B: It&#8217;s bad. Pipes are supposed to be defensive weapons, people using them to throw at enemies directly is lame, too powerful, and gameplay will improve if they can only be blown after they&#8217;re in the ground.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve coded it in (we&#8217;ll test it <em>occasionally</em> on Saturdays until further notice), but I think opinion will be divided on this one &#8211; &#8220;Thanks OMC, about time&#8221; and &#8220;Damn you OMC you ruined demoman&#8221;. I can see both points of view. Hm.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First of all, for those who are new here (welcome) and have no idea wtf is going on, please check out the <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=98">Rock2ober FAQ</a>. Back? Ok, 2Fortember is exactly like that except the map is 2fort5r! Clear? Ok, lets continue:</p>
<p>Calling ALL Quakeworld TF fans,</p>
<p>Rock2ober 2022 ROCKED &#8211; and now lets see if we can finish the year off with a BANG as we attempt to create another LEGEND, another MONSTER, and create the (second) BIGGEST Q1 TF game of the year! This is the SEVENTH annual 2Fortember event, the annual get together where we attempt to fill a Quakeworld server w 32 players like days of yore. The big question is, will 2Fortember get the 32 Rock2ober 2022 failed to get?!? Can 32 players be done in 2022? There&#8217;s only one way to find out. So get ready for TF insanity, AGR style, at this years:</p>

<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Who: Quake fans, AGR fans, MegaTF fans, TF fans, TF2 fans, CustomTF Fans, CTF fans, any fan of team-oriented, FPS Action! Also, Quake modders and curious newbies who want to see something *new*, and see wtf all the fuss is about!</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Why: If you have to ask, I&#8217;ll assume you&#8217;ve never heard of Rock2ober &#8211; so stop reading,  and check out <a title="Rock2ober faq" href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=98" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Rock2ober FAQ</a>. Back? Ok, let&#8217;s proceed:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Men of Quakeworld, (this used to say &#8220;Men and Women&#8221;, but.. who are we kidding?)</p>
<p>Rock2ober 2022 is upon us!  Once again, we attempt to FILL a server with 32 hard-core nutjobs, all gathered at the same time, in the same place, to battle it out in a MASSIVE Q1 Team Fortress event. Whether you&#8217;re a devoted AGR Maniac, a critic, or a newbie, if you just love your TF Action anyway you can get it, this is your chance to make history, and experience Attackers Go Red in all its Gory Glory. Before we go ANY further, get your heart pumping by watching these (now &#8216;ancient&#8217;) promos for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f77r-vu9xE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rock2ober 2010</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHQdQcdsngc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rock2ober 2011</a>.</p>
<p><em>(wow)</em></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=56">Weekly AGR Sessions</a> have going for 14 YEARS STRAIGHT. We&#8217;ve cracked 32 people before, and we can do it again. To experience that VERY special 32 player &#8220;full server&#8221; feeling, I&#8217;m once again reaching out to the wider world of TF players. Maybe you who are reading this prefer Vanilla TF, Classic CustomTF, Fortress One, MegaTF, CTF, or TWCTF, but for an event this big, I <em>know</em>  all TF players, of ALL genres will want to be there. Yes, AGR is &#8216;different&#8217; but hey, the core idea is &#8216;Blue defends flag&#8217; / &#8216;Red captures flag&#8217;, so anyone who has ever played Team Fortress will be up to speed in no time. So, don&#8217;t miss out on a rare opportunity to play in a 32 player game in 2022, ok? YOU can help make this happen by spreading the word about Rock2ober 2022 to EVERY Quake player you know, current and retired.  Awesome stuff, and once their blood starts pumping, tell &#8217;em to sit right down, and feast on the blockbuster <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzCxAncifqY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rock2ober 2015 Movie part1</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYMj3RIf-EI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Part 2</a>!!</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">VOICE CHAT</span><br />
Yes discord is popular in 2021, BUT but AGR has <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?p=1260" target="_blank" rel="noopener">built in voip</a>, and voice chat is recorded into the demos as well! Your descendants will be hearing your voice in a thousand years! Note: if anyone is being a dickhead during the game: a: type &#8216;users&#8217;, b: get their id number, and c: at the console, type &#8220;ignore &lt;id number&gt;&#8221;. Easey Peasey.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">DEMOS</span><br />
Demos will be available for download, check the comments section below (get <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=1533" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Registered</a> on the AGR Mailing List to receive email notifications), and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/AGRMania">the AGRMania youtube channel</a> for details to follow.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">ROCK2OBER 2022 SPECIAL PREMATCH EVENT</span><br />
The pipers will be there, AND MORE!! Get in early!!</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">WHAT IF THE SERVER IS FULL?</span><br />
In the chance we DO get 32 players(!), it *probably* won&#8217;t stay at 32 for long, so just reconnect.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">EXCUSES DESTROYED</span><br />
&#8220;Ok, but I don&#8217;t have Quake anymore, and don&#8217;t know / remember where to get the client!&#8221;. Go <a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=754" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ok, I&#8217;m not really an AGR player&#8221; and/or  &#8220;It&#8217;s been so long, I don&#8217;t remember how to play!&#8221;. Go<a href="http://www.attackersgored.com/?page_id=1120" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> here.</a></p>
<p>&#8220;Ok, but I&#8217;m married, and my wife doesn&#8217;t approve of me playing computer games.&#8221; Go <a href="https://www.fcfcoa.gov.au/fl/divorce/divorce-overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>MAP SCHEDULE</strong><br />
1. Pre Match Entertainment and speeches</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">2. rock2 (65 minutes)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">3. intermission (10 minutes)</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">4. rock2 (65 minutes) (Team damage off, mirror damage off)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18pt;">TECHNICAL SUPPORT</span><br />
AGR uses the cutting edge FTE game engine and has some &#8216;new tech&#8217; which can occasionally be um.. &#8216;quirky&#8217;, so I STRONGLY advise you to connect to the server BEFORE the day of the game, to make sure everything is 100%.  Contact me (onemanclan@attackersgored.com) if you have any issues. NOTE: there will be no tech support on the day (because I&#8217;ll be playing!)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s make this happen people. If you love Quake1 team fortress, and you crave BIG, team-orientated, action-packed games which leave you utterly exhausted, ecstatic and exhilarated, keep October 30th 23:00GMT free!</p>
<p>Looking forward to seeing you there,</p>
<p>OneManClan</p>
<p>ps. Spread the word!! Send a link to this page to anyone you think can stand it!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>RESTART REDUX</b></span><br />
There&#8217;s been quite a few restarts recently, and it&#8217;s gotten me thinking about (potentially) making it so all the things that make life easier for Blue only come into effect after restarts. And then the flag could get progressively harder and harder to cap. For example, currently, Deathcap (where everyone dies after a cap) comes into effect after each cap, and if &#8216;toughmode&#8217; is ON, players can&#8217;t escape by jumping into water. But what if there were NO deathcap, and we play the map once, just to see if blue can handle it ( and/or if Red players switch). If its a slaughtermatch, let Deathcap be enabled after the restart, as well as the &#8216;mercy pause&#8217;, the &#8216;touch flag to make it return faster&#8217;, &#8216;flag carrier can be damaged by teammates&#8217; etc. And make each restart tougher for Red.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">School of thought 1: This is a fantastic idea. Each map ends up played at it&#8217;s own custom &#8216;toughness level&#8217; which is appropriate for A: its own inherrant toughness, AND B: how players are playing on the day.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">School of thought 2: This is a terrible idea. Restarts should be avoided, and not encouraged by making the game easier for Red. Most of the ToughMode innovations are there because they solve real world problems, so why bother removing them for a first wasted, and predictable slaughtermatch attempt of a game? Also it will confuse players because &#8216;what is enabled&#8217; will be changing all the time.</span></p>
<p>Hm.. writing the above has given me second thoughts about the idea&#8230; I&#8217;m writing this AFTER I made the video above btw.. As always, A: let the players decide, and B: only have this &#8216;progressive tough map&#8217; mode on Experimental Saturdays.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for today, see you soon at the:</p>
<p><strong>What</strong>: <strong>Weekend AGR Sessions</strong></p>
<p><strong>Where</strong>: tastyspleen.net:26666</p>
<p><strong>When</strong>: Every Saturday &amp; Sunday 6pm EST/23:00 GMT. Convert this to your timezone <a href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Weekly+AGR+Session&amp;iso=20180715T23&amp;p1=1440&amp;ah=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. [yes it says &#8216;Event has passed&#8217; (because of the date), but the TIME is correct!] Note: Arrive early so as to not miss out on the action!</p>
<p><strong>Who</strong>: You.</p>
<p><strong>Why</strong>: Because you love teams, you love fortresses, you love capping flags, and/or you love defending them.</p>
<p><strong>MAP SCHEDULE: dune1, town4 and (pending player numbers) 2brave1.</strong></p>
