be interesting to see one of each game that 'node has a server for being the 'main' attractions and then others on the side, a different game for as many grouped or sub forums would be an interesting idea...

a STALKER or Sins Of A Solar Empire multiplayer match would be ultimate lulz.

or NWN dueling...

You mean in terms of length? Sign me up to a Supreme Commander match! :P

I think it's better to be on the conservative side for the first tournament. the fewer games the better. then if it goes well, the next one can be bigger.

Yeah, I'm gonna draw the line with what we already have, and focus mainly on the source games and SCII.

Pretty sure you can through some third party stuff. I think one I tried only had foreign players (not a surprise) so was laggy and for some reason only allowed 640x480.

Agreed.

Yep sign me up, except SC2/LoL..

Also Mount&Blade Warband would be an awesome addition for some medieval mayhem.

Yeah but not many people would have Mount&Blade, and the people who don't play it regularly would get dominated by the good players, ie it would come down to the few who know what they're doing :P

Unless we round up all the regular GON/GA players and get them in on this?

Have we decided anything about cod4 profiles? DL one with everything unlocked or should everyone start with a fresh solider (no unlocks?) Or just dealwithit.gif?

As I'm sure people would do it anyway, I have no issue with people downloading unlocked profiles.

What's a CoD4 profile unlock? I haven't played it online yet, just SP.

Well you start with only a few weapons and perks, and unlock them as you earn points / get headshots etc etc. Huge advantage if you have stuff unlocked and custom classes. Can just download a profile with everything unlocked though.

edit: Anyone looked into Quake Live servers yet? Might have a cost.
