Oh what fun that was. Thankfully I have an hour footage of the Samsara server that "replaced" the SNS one and plan on doing more tonight.

To not have a server crash because i (or romero) get shouted at by the whole thing. I would have aliassed to play in peace.

Oh I thought you meant you'd have aliased as him, nvm then.

[Mr.Man]

There were many who did. Also had moments where people started to trust others when they said this and that guy was john. It was bullshit. Cant believe i expected him to come.

[IdeIdoom]

How can you join servers which are filled to the max with players? With a life to live and work and other things, did you expect him to come to not-so-important event?

[Slim]

Better grab the pitchforks and torches, for the people who riot for not getting a piece of Romero. (lol jk)

A video full of the people sorely in need of a master ban.

hint: anyone screaming "hi john".

[Samurai]

I really hope people don't pester him like some teenage girls at a pop music concert

I didn't join this event purely because I thought it would turn into some shitfest spamming session from starstruck children, and after reading the last few comments it seems to have been the case. It's a real shame that an event we as a community have been building up to for the best half of 12 months, is ruined by idiotic kids who don't any respect for the rest of the community who was involved.

If were lucky enough to have another scenario like this in the future, I hope it's a lot more controlled than what seems to have happened here.

On the bright side, I have a little more of 5 hours of footage of another server Term hosted soon after the server split and samsara's removal. Stay tuned...

[Ænima]

Yeah im recording too. And about the competitive players against romero, I think hed know a super special code only him and the rest of original id would know for cases just like that.

Yeah except Doom has been open source for 15 years and nobody caught that special code yet ... ;p

Thats what I would do if I made a game with dm

That's ... really cheap ...

Yeah, Romero isn't showing. SGTMarkIV showed up for everyone to shit on him though, so that was kinda cool.

LOGS PLZ D:

[Stru]

Did you expect anything different? I was waiting for this night for a long time, but I was prepared for it to become an absolute shitfest. It's Romero dude, nobody wants to miss that opportunity. I even had my damn alarm clock set for this shit on my phone.

[DoomGuy-Ugo]

Here's some footage of my own.

tbh this whole event was poorly planned out, we should have had better contact with the man but obviously thats kinda impossible.

[Cruduxy]

The server was useful to make a list of ppl who should never be allowed to come to such events tbh..

[Shane]

Maybe he did show up, just never announced who he was and remained safe under alias? But why should it matter anyway?

You guys shouldn't be so star struck, Romero is just a human being like the rest of you (I hope) and even if he was there it wouldn't change the experience one bit. I mean what're you gonna do? Ask him a thousand more questions that he's already received on thousands of interviews before? Which are more than likely posted on the internet for everyone to view? Don't be so down just because he didn't grace us with his presence, he had things to do, or didn't and just did not want to show up to a bunch of fan boys pleading him for a blessing. He didn't show up, big deal, it made little difference other than it filled up two servers with eager players and trolls.

Beautifully said. And although it was sad that he didn't show, at least we got some Samsara going in the other server :)

Ok firstly I apologize to everyone as it was me who hyped this up and he never showed. But I would say this wasn't poorly planned in fact me, Terminus and Sicamore put a lot of time into testing and making sure it would all work. I emailed Romero many times letting him know where it would all take place, he told me his username would be "Romero" and that he would try and make it, I can't do much more than that really.

Plenty of Samsara was played yesterday despite what happened at SNS.

The large amount of players seems to have brought to surface a problem that is simply not happening with just a few players. I suspect that some of Zandronum's code doesn't work properly with more than 32 players and that this was causing the constant crashes with Samsara. Does anybody have time to investigate this? A first thing to test would be Samsara DM with 64 players (may include 63 bots ;)) and see is the problems also happen then.

Regular DM and CTF works with more than 32 players, and FnF had a DM (UDMX I think?) with 64 players that worked okay.

[Marcaek]

There were some jitter issues present with 64 players iirc.
