[TSPG] The Sentinel's Xmas present - Event

[mifu]

Hello Folks,

It is nearly upon us! That time of year. Christmas!

Things are going to be good, and gifts to be given out (though late gifts) but none of the less here is the details.

The event will go for a total of 4 days starting on the 23rd of December through to the 26th of December.

On the 25th of December, we will be hosted graciously by the FNF team as they will be adding this as part of their Christmas event. Details below!

Day 1 (23/12/2015): Dont Be a Bitch LMS with a nasty surprise
Day 2 (24/12/2015): RageCTF
Day 3 (25/12/2015): CEMP (Christmas Extravaganza map pack) and AFTSDM (hosted by FNF i hope but if there's a change of plans, i'll just extend this to go for another day)
Day 4 (26/12/2015): ST Domination

Time: Each day will start at Eastern Standard Time (US): 3:30pm. Feel free to use a timezone converter to find out which time it starts for your timezone. I use http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/. The Day 3 event though will start when FNF starts.

Servers: All of them (except FNF) will be hosted on TSPG Painkiller

Gift information:

1. To be eligible to get a gift, you must join the game (being spectator does not count). You also need to be logged into the server using the login console command.
2. Players will be selected at random at random intervals during the event. We have a script that selects players's names at random.
3. If you have already received a gift from the sentinel via the random pick, you will not receive another.
4. All gift items are steam games. Players who receive a gift is allowed to pick any game up to $30 or less and I will gift it to them. Must have a steam account in order for me to keep tabs on who has won and collected their gift.
5. Due to real life stuff, gifts wont be sent until late January due to me moving out of home soon.

How do I "login" ingame?

1. First make sure you have an account at http://auth.funcrusher.net . If you do not, then create one.
2. Ingame, open the console using the ~ key and then type login <username> <password> These details are your funcrusher's account details. For example if my account was mifu I would type "login mifu mypassword"

I also encourage you to jump on Teamspeak at allfearthesentinel.net as I will be on there. I may be recording the fun times so I hope to see all of you there.

So generous of you! I look forward to this.

Good thing this circulates around Christmas, otherwise I wouldn't have a shot at KF2. With my family's budget saving for that annual trip to the relatives.

It's so sad I won't get to participate. Good luck with the event though.

Hi folks. A bit of a change to plans on gifts.

It seems that our methods on determining how one gets a gift were quite flawed.

This meant we had to change our methods. We are now relying on a database which will determine who received a gift when we call a script ingame that picks a player that is currently logged in (using the login command on the console while ingame)

What does this mean?
It means you will need to have an account at Funcrusher's Authentication website to use the login command ingame as a condition to be eligible to get a gift as well as be playing in the games.

I am sorry for any issues this may cause but if you check the OP again, I have provided detailed instructions on how to log in. We will also include a help screen with the custom pk3 which contains this script (Festivus) to explain how to login ingame as well for those who do not/can not surf the forums.

EDIT: I had to change the time for this event to start on Eastern Standard time (US): 3:30pm because it seems aussies are in the future after all. While its the 23rd at my place most of you guys are still in the 22nd day of December. We cant have that!

Hi folks

Just wanna say, thanks to those who have attended so far, and congrats to whoever received a gift as well. I have a bit of a problem though. Something I overlooked.
I was notified that stdom, is well.. buggy as all fuck. Turns out it needs a lot of patching to be done to fix missing textures (and theres also missing maps)

Because of this, it means its an unwise idea for stdom to get hosted as this could impact on gameplay. So I propose 4 options to fix this issue which im going to leave up to you guys (the community) as all of you had your say on this.

I can either replace stdom with zan domination instead which is a bit better. I could replace stdom with survival or survival invasion to get some variation here or I could pick another wad that was tied in the list based on the polls or simply we can just roll with what we got currently and hope for the best.

This is affecting Day 4 which is the last day of this event. So what do you guys suggest?

[Marcaek]

I'm just gonna toss in my suggestion of doing Survival on 32in24-14, which is thematically appropriate and given that the last session lands on a Saturday good timing as well. Failing that, maybe Delta invasion with some xmasified demon sprites if they exist anywhere?

IMO it'd be good to balance out a PvP-laden event with something for Zan's Survival players.

Survival Invasion (delta on top)

Hey guys!

Well this concludes the event! I must say this one went way better then last years one thats for sure! I want to say thank you to those who played and of course, congrats to those who received a fine gift from the sentinel. So I am just going to leave the list of names as to who won a gift. Note these are the login names from the login server so I will need to confirm your login id n shit first, but heres the list!

• combinebobnt
• htg
• alterzero
• wizardcrying
• ru5tk1ng
• darkener
• dranzer666
• tribeam
• zakken
• plussean
• ad79
• xmalebolgiax
• toxicavenger
• fizz
• mytis
• johncgh
• nax
• terminus
• dusk
• truth
• fishseller
• karakurt
• distonito
• argentvm
• espio
• waterflame
• dragon
• dsparil
• joshharvery

So, (if you have not already) I will need everyone's steam ID and what they want. As long as its $30 or less and 1 purchase. Bundles are fine, but if im adding multiple items in the cart then thats a big no-no.

Those who are asking for a game that's cheap will probably get theirs first. However I will be deploying these gifts throughout January a bit at a time.

I wouldn't mind some feedback in regards to this event as well (like if there was anything that can be done better or what you liked about it) so I dont mind keeping this thread active a bit longer just to gather up the feedback.

Anyways thanks again guys, and till next year!

I thought I had won... You should fix your buggy client side stuff :/

Shame I missed out on Day 3's event, but the rest was fun at least!
