I forgot to mention, I used to do a lot of competitive Halo 3 play, but realized everyone who does are douchebags. Now I just run around and hide. :3
Re: Serious Business: Semi-Casual Amalgamation of Semi-Competitive Players. - Black Aspen - 05-07-2008

Engie (*****)
Heavy (****)

Soldier (***)
Scout (***)
Demo (**)
Spy (**)

Re: Serious Business: Semi-Casual Amalgamation of Semi-Competitive Players. - Wedge - 05-07-2008
Copy pasta for lazy justice!
Prior Experience:
I totally played in this tournament for Dark Horizons: Lore and got second place.Â
So what if I coded half the tournament code and was one of twenty players?
Oh and I like, won a Tony Hawk 1 tournament at Game Crazy a decade ago.
Also top tier guild wars on a private RO server, lololololol.
Best: Medic (I don't play it seriously most of the time now though)
Streaky: Sniper, Demo (Tends to be very map dependent)
Solid: Soldier, Engy, Heavy
Bad: Spy, Pyro, Scout (Not sure how much I suck at Pyro and Scout really, just don't play them anymore)
Availability: Anytime all the time. After 5 PST weekdays.
Oh, and don't worry, I WILL use my mike for mor cereal team play stuffs.

I'm thrilled to see so much interest here, its going to be an intriguing tryout phase to be sure. With that said I'll need some time to properly layout some guidelines on the tryout process, but I need to clarify that regardless of the outcomes of tryouts, you will all see match time against [TC]. The only reason for tryouts at all is to establish who will go up in the final match to beat [TC] to a pulp.
**Additional Notes**
@Versus: I need to talk with you or anyone willing to fully represent [TC] in this friendly and talk about maps, round limits, and the rest of the fun shit.
@Everyone else: If I have placed a "*Requires clarification" by anything I listed in the second post of this thread, please make a new post and fill in the blank for me.
@The lurkers: Feel free to sign up if you're interested in even just participating in the friendly aspect of this. Better to be apart of it regardless of the outcome, then read about the aftermath.
**End Notes**
@Rummy: I'd hope that everyone can participate even in this singular event, beyond that will be up to those involved. Leaders are but humble followers, trusted by their peers.
Re: Serious Business: Semi-Casual Amalgamation of Semi-Competitive Players. - Versus - 05-08-2008
Yeah, you should probably talk to GHost. If you can't get a hold of him, I guess I can represent Team Cheesus.
Re: Serious Business: Semi-Casual Amalgamation of Semi-Competitive Players. - Surf314 - 05-08-2008
So kor for works it'll be everything else.
I've been trying to put in time developing specific skills on classes I'm not as good at, so I'm mostly a pretty balanced player as far as all the classes. I did some good as a sniper playing goldrush the other day as you were witness too.
I can play spy and accomplish certain objectives, but as far as overall effectiveness I tend to do really good at times and other times get too twitchy and blow my cover. It's really the disguise thing that holds me up. I'm a very effective cloaker but when I am in a crowd of people I get nervous and tend to jump the gun and start trying to stab or shoot people early because I think they are on to me.

22/5 is when school actually gets out, but it'll be the last week of school, not like I'm doing anything then. Also, I'll be disappearing from the intertubes from Jun 3-11 for a little vacation down in Florida. Other than that, i should be good for the summer.

Re: Serious Business: Semi-Casual Amalgamation of Semi-Competitive Players. - Budr - 05-08-2008
I'm in the same boat as ainmosni ping- and timezone-wise but fuck it:
I'd like to think I'm fairly proficient at: Soldier, Medic (purely defensive), Spy
I can play an almost decent: Scout, Pyro, Engi
My team will lose if I play: Demo, Heavy, Sniper
Work pretty much restricts me to pre-midnight GMT playtimes on weeknights, any time weekends.

Re: Serious Business: Semi-Casual Amalgamation of Semi-Competitive Players. - DrkAdonis - 05-09-2008
After a few rounds the last couple of days, I need to adjust my abilities.
Turns out I'm okay with a Scout, so we can add that to my list of non-suck jobs. ^^
Re: Serious Business: Semi-Casual Amalgamation of Semi-Competitive Players. - Luca Shoal - 05-09-2008
Hmmm, you can add Demo to the "Pro" list at the end. And Heavy at the end of Works. I'm still awful as a Sniper and Spy tho, except in rare instances.
Re: Serious Business: Semi-Casual Amalgamation of Semi-Competitive Players. - Kor - 05-10-2008
Updated to this point. Added my own prodigious skill list as well, thanks Rummy.
