FNF #134 Discussion
Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2012 4:51 pm
Hey guys,
So, US-FNF was a complete bust last night. I know Qent and TTA posted apologies in the FNF thread, but I also have myself to blame, especially due to this:
When we decided on 2dmmaps for US-FNF, we switched out from it at the *very* last minute due to improper planning and testing the wad at the last minute. If it weren't for the last minute planning, then we could have had a US-FNF event much like Euro-FNF. Also, as pointed out in US-FNF, the maps for Doom 2 and with Team Possession as the gamemode made it sub-optimal and we actually switched to Team LMS at the 30-minute mark. Still, it did not thrive, so I strongly urge us, the team, to not make the same mistake again for next week's planning schedule - and I do believe we can make an honest effort in this. Having said that, I do apologize for the lack of adequate planning brought forth by the team this week, including myself.
On a side note, Dusk made a note out on IRC that Euro-FNF may have done even better than it did, had it been Deathmatch rather than Terminator. I'd certainly like to keep this in mind, should we decide to modify yesterday's Euro-FNF and run something similar in a future FNF.
Since this week is the FNF poll, I suggest to anybody who hasn't yet voted in them yet to please submit their votes on the Euro and American polls before the marked deadline for voting. As for myself and the rest of the FNF Team, we have a very important task to carry out: begin planning for next week's FNF before next weekend, which is why this thread is here. I encourage all of us to post in here at least once by the end of this week.
