Anarchic2.jpg
We are evolving. Originally, the Anarchic Wanderers was merely a list of players who wanted to shadowbox fe-clan. Hence, it is not a clan. We managed one game; read about it here.

We are now at the stage of setting up THE SPOON tournament. Get involved in the discussion and promote what appeals to you.

Trying to orchastrate a game is a bit tricky... I like the idea of getting together through something like Skype so we can speak together and type if necessary, plan times and strategy even. A current plan is to practice on Z-man's SPOON fortress server, to see if we can experiment with some new launches and things...

Names are presented below, but this has changed and may change again... invite whoever... and presumably at some stage, probably on the day, we decide amoungst the players who attend...

strategy experiments

I would like to try out different launches other than the standard pencil grind where everyone grinds to centre and encounter the enemy at the impact zone roughly in the middle of the arena.

regular game play

the fork
3 grind right almost immediate, 3 left, and only 2 go straight.
Fork1.jpg
3 are needed to pick up enough speed. What they do depends on many factors. Perhaps they want to attack, perhaps double back and defend. But to start, play around with the option of the centre two being defence. Perhaps they split either way, create a little wall, perhaps they double back and maze to defend the zone... who knows....


Recording gameplay..
Hey what do you guys think if one of us gets a screen recorder and records some of our matches or in CVS fortress? Like I would start recording in CVS if I was middle and post to show how much pwnidge I am at mid :PPPPPPPP
But yeh..what joo guys think about recording our matches?
2020: yeah... i don't mind recording... but what's the point... we all going to look at the games and suggest new strategies... hehehe
ghableska I'm a bit confused. To record, you go to the AA Record, but where are the files saved, and what program do you use to open the recordings?----- Van:Mine just go to my desktop, Use AA playback to "playback" your recording.

team positions

Although we may not know who will turn up, and how many opponents turn up, I think it may be a good idea to suggest what our prefered starting positions are. We need names for the different positions (point, wing, back, centre, that kind of thing), but we also should be familiar with the number of each position. Centre position is 1, first left is 2, first right is 3, and so on... so odd numbers are on the right; from left to right: 8 6 4 2 1(centre) 3 5 7. And remember, the reason why you may not end up in the position you wish for is because someone else has just moved altering the positions again....

8 back
Probably for the goalie position...
6 outside wing left
Probably for sweep left position...
2020 likes this position...
ghableska prefers this position
4 centre wing left
Useful to grind the inside wingman who might be doubling back (supergrinding)... Probably midfield position... Probably defencive...
2 inside wing left
Prime position for doubling-back... usually first player to meet the attacking force...
2020 likes this position too...
ghableska likes this position
Oblivion LOVES this position and owns on it!
1 centre point
If inside wings do normal grind, then centre will be the fastest player hitting the opponents... Otherwise, with double-grinding to either side, it can get scary... Some players like to try to go down the centre of the opponents grind... takes timing and skill...
2020 sometimes likes this...
3 inside wing right
Doubling back is an option, and some players manage to get fantastic speeds and can outflank opponents quickly...
2020 sometimes likes this position.... This left side is more offensive potentially. If the inside wing on the right takes the flank, there are two players behind who should probably follow through...
Oblivion LOVES this position and owns on it too!
5 centre wing right
Grinding maybe 3 or 3.5 enables a good super-grind for inside wing... Generally a midfield play, though be prepared to follow the inside wingman if outflanking opponents quickly.
7 outside wing right
Usually defensive, but has the option of following the entire wing if there is a fast break against opponents. Sweep position left.
2020's prefered position.

who and why

PsYkO
MUAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAH =_+
2020
I want to practice some strategies at the team level... new launches... new ways of breaking... and see if there are some flank tactics or pair tactics that may emerge...
Started working, so restricted playtime :( ... tell me when and where...
Skype me: Fidocancan
MaZuffeR
Why? Why not. ;)
Avaible almost always, preferred times between 4pm and 11pm GMT.
Lackadaisical
Because playing against the people here/people in fe is better than playing against random people.
Playing whenever, but not always under this name, I guess i'm mostly available between 18PM-01AM GMT
ghableska
Same explanation as MaZ. In addition, it's fun and good practice.
Weekdays are a bit iffy, but on weekends, I'm fine with 8pm GMT to whenever....
Skype me: ghableska
Wrtlprnft
Why? To have fun of course :)
Times between 12AM and 4AM GMT are the ones I prefer. I have no skype, you can find me over IRC on irc://freenode.org on the #armagetron channel, or just /msg me with my regular nick.
In case MBC is involved in the fight... well, I guess I'll fight for them :)
Vanhayes
Because I Like Fortress, and want to take on the clans, eh.
Usually availible between 4 pm and 9pm GMT-3, eh.
Featherfcuk
Because I'm a damn addict and I want a stronger fix. Also, I'm tired of the same strategy and would like to try something new..
Available: usually always.
madmax
For the fun of playing with good players, and against good players. Not some messy random CVS game.
Usually free from 17:00 GMT and 0:00 GMT, on weekends, 2:00 GMT, or something like that. =)
TBL
Jeffery Lebowski aka "The Dude", Venice Beach, Los Angeles, CA
The Dude is not the kind of man that likes being tied down, so clans are a no go. Losely based teams however are fine.
The Dude also enjoys talking about him self in 3rd person, bowling, acid flashbacks and driving around.
The Dude is also available around evening GMT times, and fortress is his preferred fix.

6.4.12.20.0

from 2020
The game went well from my point of view, at the back. We won the first game relatively easily, though Crazy Tronners put up a good fight in the second and nearly snatched it away from us: winner of the last game would win the match. It took ages to get down to playing though, with team-tags and all that gas... with players popping in and out - I think Garisimo's baby nearly choked to death so he had to leave at the beginning of the second match. And there was a lot of uncertainty as to whether we were playing a time-out match or not... Once ghab came, we had a full team, and luckily someone on the opponents team also appeared so we had a 8v8 game --- the only real way to play.
I think z-man has been experimenting with tags, and numbers of players, with perhaps one player as substitute. I think it may be useful in the future, if z-man gave temporary admin status to team-captains for example, to determine the number of players each team has etc. Either that, or we as players just make damned sure we have 8 players in our teams, and we arrive on time... Which is what happens in the real world most of the time...
from ghableska

I agree with 2020...good game, quite easy. I don't know what happened during the second match. We won... Nothing more to say../

from Oblivion

It was fun we owned the first match, and the second one we had a bit of trouble. I look forward to practicing the fork tommorow, if we get that move down we might be able to take on ?? and maybe even put up a good fight if not win! This was a very easy tourney, I think people could grind a bit heavier though.

From featherfcuk
It's absolutely wonderful that we won. On the other hand, I wasn't there to see it. FUCK, I'd have loved to see CT going down, but I got kicked/banned for at least 10 minutes and after that the server was full. So... I got drunk and now I'm spitting a nouthful of shit that doesn't belong anywhere. Too Doo Loo, I just got kicked out of a pub for putting superglue into ashtrays. Later......
From PsYkO
Go us.

6.4.9.22.0

from 2020
Messy game. They only had four players, so Zop played for them and Van left. We had madmax, 127.0.1 (though I think this was psyko in disguise? maybe?), featherfcuk, and garisimo, and ghab entered late but left before I could sub off... Then one of them left and sky replaced them... then gar left to find another player for them... very messy.... Still, we lost one game in the middle.... and it was closer than is should have been.... Luckily spidey wasn't playing for them, otherwise we might have been in more trouble... Anything interesting about the play....? Nope, don't think we tried anything unusual.... still waiting for the day when we can try different launches... OH, one thing: with only 5v5 there were people entering all the time... what a bore... either we need full teams or a way of closing the game once it has started...
From PsYko
z-man should give temporary boot privelages to team admins..
From featherfcuk
Not to Vanhayes though... Canadians are always powerfreaks, he's deemed to abuse that priviledge!
Van
no, no its pronounced CANADIAN not AMERICAN, u know canada the peacekeepers of the world?. And Use discussioin page u noobs.
PsYkO
BLAME CANADA! BLAME CANADA!

6.4.8.22.0

from 2020
much more relaxed game... and winning the first match makes it much easier... best of 3 is very tough... I died a lot... but thankfully Van and Psyko and Zop and Ghab pulled the game out of the bag with their incredible skills.... Wow... what a game... pity we didn't have 8v8 though... I think that is when it is crazy....
Oh, me and ghab were chatting on Skype during the whole thing... which didn't reduce my ping... it was kind of useful... it would be nice if we were all connected on the team...
Finally... it would be nice to have some kind of debriefing... so we as a team can talk about the game.. how we felt etc.... Any fresh ideas about how it went and so on...
from ghableska
I agree with 2020, it was IMHO a lot easier, and relaxed. The games seemed to move a lot slower than our matches against the Somethingsomething. I had some keyboard troubles and had to quit in the middle of the game and restart. And we believe (hopefully) that a fake Lucifer came in. And we kicked him. Other than that, it was quite normal.
from Van
Ya it was a more relaxed game, first match wasnt too hard but second one had me worried when they took the lead. Without 8vs8 we had to constantly kick people though, which is annoying but really doesnt effect much. O ya and that was a fake luci, it was really pimp.
from PsYkO
Omg by the end of that 2nd match my fingers were so mangled..I think the key to winning these things is to STAY ALIVE. Do anything necessary to stay alive. GOD DAMMIT CANT WAIT TO PLAY MBC rofl

6.4.5.21.0

van
Something Something (??)- beat us 2-0 of best outa 3 matches, close ones but WD to them
ghableska
We had a match against the SomethingSomething team today. And we lost. It's very easy to see the difference when you play games on CVS and here. The games were much tougher and intense. I hope that our team can get a strategy soon, or else......
2020
Crazy game... stress was huge... I played ok, but didn't feel good at any time apart from keeping maz back for ages during one round; the only time I felt really useful... An interesting idea that came up was feather's Time-out, but I think we have to wait before introducing this.... I think the rules should be firm: play the best of 3 straight through... no excuses. I mean, Psyko disappeared near the end of the first game, which threw me, and then reappeared at the start of the next... if this happens... we just have to play through.... Anyhoooo -- great game, loved it... bring it on...
By the way, who played...?
Lackadaisical [??]
Yeah, the timeout thing was a bit hazy, it would be better if we had talked about it before the game took place, but oh well, better luck next time. I really think we should make the play offs a best of five, since this was a bit too short imho (quote someone: 'i finally warmed up, 2 matches too late'). Pavelo made a (debug) recording, its 4.2 megs packed, but i'm not sure if/when he's going to put them online. Good games, hope to see you in the playoffs.
gArIsImO

I was very impressed with the level of skill from team ?? ....could this possibly be a preview of the final match????????? more to come... I definitely agree with Lacks on the best of 5 match for the playoff pix. we should also think about scheduling the tournament at ONE time in ONE place so we can have people watch as well (so long as it does not affect the LAG factor)...

Cheers!
