Title: Welcome Back to Vice War
Post by: stormeus on August 14, 2014, 05:05:35 am: (https://viceunderdogs.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FwdjHOCR.jpg&hash=7489291a2cf514d9efb185d95e545ef85be9ba01)

Sorry for the lack of information over the past month, but as Revolver already explained (http://vu.vrocker-hosting.co.uk/index.php?topic=5339.0), we could not have anticipated the widespread inactivity we dealt with over the past month. With that being said, we have new information to announce.

Event Date and Time
"Admin, when Vice War is happen?"

This being a question people have been wondering since Vice War was announced, we're glad to finally have an answer for you guys.

Vice War will be held starting on Saturday, August 23 at 12:01am GMT and ending on Sunday, August 24 at 12:01am GMT.

Gamemode and Hosting

Due to administrative and public interest, Vice War 4 will be hosted on the VC:MP 0.4 beta on maxorator's beta box. 0.4 has reached a point where it is more stable for an event of this scale than 0.3, and we believe it will generate considerable community interest in 0.4.

However, this is not a public beta. As such, features will not be added for the purpose of showing off; the core gameplay is exactly the same as it was in 0.3. This also provides an opportunity for players to focus specifically on improving their combat skills with 0.4's improved sync.

If you have not already, download the beta client:
http://v04.maxorator.com/files/VCMP04_Installer.zip

Your browser will automatically download and install the appropriate client version upon joining the game server if you do not already have it.

More information on the 0.4 Public Beta can be found on the Squirrel forum:

The main reason for this is because we could not aim for this weekend due to the lack of notice. If there is significant public interest in doing so very soon, the event may be moved to this Saturday, August 16.
We can make a poll?

The event has diplomacy for a reason. If you cannot get other teams to join yours then you're the one to blame.

Stop whining about it, last time blue's were at a player disadvantage and won with over 1000 points.

Post by: [EAF]Sorrow on August 14, 2014, 09:20:07 pm: If I had a say in it, I would love to put a few clans and players to the Red team. But hey, no influence.

So I guess it will remain the way it is.

Same story, same answer.

This is pathetic, for some stupid reason the red team always cries or complains about it, last year was the same drama and they got it, but the result was the same, they were crushed by blue team with a great ease and great advantage. Ironically, the clans forming the red team are always the same -> just lol.

Just play in an orderly and good way to avoid to be thinking about this sort of things. Now, if you are not able to form a good team with good ideas... blame your team.

>This isn't the problem of Blue Team.
>This isn't the fault of the clans who decided to be on the blue team.
>This isn't the fault of the players without (tag - clan) who decided to be on the blue team.

Deal with it and play with the players that red team has, of course, if you still feel able to do it without tears and lamentations to the VW Managers.

Post by: [EAF]Sorrow on August 15, 2014, 12:48:28 pm: Regarding the organisation, if you do the event tomorrow, I am sure you won't get as much contestants as when you do it next week.

Just a friendly advice, do with it whatever you want.

Why it's my team fault when other applicants could balance the teams themselves without even asking?

>This isn't the fault of the clans who decided to be on the blue team.
I'm going to answer to this one with a simple quote:
Code: [Select]
Strong:Niky please co join blue team,I don't want to loose hhhThe real reason behind most of the applicants(teams too) is that they are afraid of russians,correct me if I'm wrong.

I want to repeat myself again,I just asked ,I didn't do anything else.I want to make you a simple example :
Two soccer teams have to do a match,the first one has 11 players and the second one has 15,do you think the result would be the same if both the teams would have the same and equal players?You just don't accept a team balancing just because you are too obsessed to win,you forget totally this is a game and the most important thing over here should be the fun.

You claim it's only a game and it's about fun, what's fun in forcing players to play on a side they do not want to play?

Players decide the team they are in and VW Administration WILL NOT force players to play for a team they did not apply for.

End of discussion.

What's fun in playing a vice war with a huge difference of players ? :)

I just don't understand why you and ethan made such replies when I only asked a simple question,I didn't force anyone to do something nor I forced someone to join our team

Post by: Tom on August 15, 2014, 02:47:42 pm: Actually reds are in good position.
First of all it isn't possible to make 89 vs 65. Server has only 100 slots. You can coordinate with your red team and take 65/100 slots and fight against 35 blues (in this case). It's just matter of coordination to get number supriority.
Secondary, blues have a lot of mobile frags like OSK clan members and others. I don't think they will manage to achieve ratio higher than 1 or do proper teamwork. So I consider them as cannon fodder and score delivers for reds.
Third, the key to win in team deathmatch is in being more powerfull (by tactic/skills/strength) than enemy's team in certain place and time.
Four, in case you loose you can complain about being outnumbered and claim your defeat as unfair.

So, Detonator, you have to turn on your brain, tactical and commandership skills.

Post by: Revolver on August 15, 2014, 03:02:16 pm: If you want to make some clans move to your team (what I actually support), do have a talk with the clan-leaders of a clan you want to have on your side (if not present atm, with those who're responsible for a clan). If they agree on this, PM me, I'll make some changes.
