THE SPOON
Players organise themselves to meet on existing servers, competing in Fortress teams, until the final team wins THE TRONIC SPOON. There is not much to say here, since it is all about players organising themselves. Feel free to add to the list under any category and please remember that all editions are constructive.
preparations
This version of tronic is a matter of organising ourselves rather than requiring any technical assistance. It is about us as players. If we put in the preparation, advertise what we are doing on the forums, in clan forums too, advising people what the plan is, the day should run smoothly enough.
team formation
Most Armagetron players have had experience playing in teams, though because of the intensity of the game, a few players with good skills, have been intimidated out of the Fortress. One of the most important goals of the day is to develop teams. This means that players are supported by their friends and teammates, and any abuse that comes at them will be from opponents, which is kind of expected from some people. And the best way to deal with this intimidation is to gell as a team, play well, and respond by winning.
server allocation
Perhaps there will only be one Fortress Server: CVS, but it would be nice to have several with the same settings. The number of servers available and the number of players on the day will determine how the competition pans out.
the event
It should be a fun day, with a lot of familiar names, and a buzz about the place.
tracking team-pairings
There may be more than 16 players who want to play, more than two teams. If there are more than two players, there must be some way to organise ourselves. If there is only one server, the CVS Test Server, then players will have to agree to play sequentially. Otherwise, we can set up simultaneous games.
feasible round-period timing
