PLATFORM WARS REDUX
WAR 2
Since the beginning of time, man has always had options. What food to eat, which place to live, which language to speak... you get the idea. And with such freedom to choose, there inevitably comes a conflict. Those who chose one option are always convinced that their choice was the superior, and constantly wage a war of words with those who chose differently.
And so, each side thinks their platform is much better than all the others. And inevitably... there is conflict.
Will you fight for your side once more in the unceasing rivalry between the Macs and the PCs? The PC empire emerged victorious last time- will the Macs strike back? Will the mighty Microsoft empire crumble in our little battlefield? We shall see...

/enlist into the Mac army.
Its about time. Can we keep the PC's on the PC side and the macs on their side this time?
I'll be on the Mac side.
Count me in for the Mac Army.
I'll be here for the Mac side. Let's do better this time. HC, we should see if we can get Besant this time around.
Count me in on the Mac side.
We need to make sure that more macs actually come this time lol
I should be good for this.
Count me in! Time to Crush those pc's :) Now let me see when this is. :P
________________________________________________________
The 12th is on a Saturday right?
I'll be there for the Mac Side!
Actually Zen, I think we don't need more Macs per se, but better macs. :P We also need the macs to hang around for more of the match. Cause most of them left after the first part. Myself included. :(
Pff, you macs can't even tell what side of the missle launcher points at the enemy
PCs FOREVER!!!!!!!

That's OK because as soon as we fire, a PC guy will run in front of it anyway. XD
lol fishy you made a funny :P :cheer:
I will try to be there for the Mac side this time. I never use my PC anymore, so i only find it fitting. But just remember, i will try but no guarantee's
Yay!!!!! Yankee quit the pc side to play with his humble friends :P
I shall probably be there. As long as it's a weekend.
Yes, now with Yankee (If he can come) Mac's will kick butt!
i dont know if i can come but i will try if someone reminds me. Rhino, im giving u that job lolz u always remind me of things... ur so good at it :D anyways....seems to be 100 macs coming and 5 pcs. >< if pcs need another to even it out ill play for them, i want to see how its like working with pcs instead of mac people :D... but ill probably stay with the macs anyway cuz they ownzzzz
Destructor is right. There are way too many players on the Mac side.
I guess I'll switch over to the PC side (I recently got the Windows version of the game :D).
Last time, at the start, macs outnumbered PCs but later on PCs outnumbered macs.
Mac:
1. Hardcore
2. SchTicK
3. Rhino
4. Tomaszl
5. Master Zen
6. Captain Rex
7. Commander Gree
8. Yankee
9. Sarg
10. Destructor?
PC:
1. Link
2. AG
3. Pi Man
4. Jedikiller?
Most likely Macs will outnumber PCs but only time will tell.
I would generally agree slightly- however this is not counting any PLA such as Buckler who is hosting it, or Striker who also came for the PC side but didn't say he was going to before hand.
ill be willing to play for PC's if it's cool.
So i can kick some mac/pc bottom. Don't matter to me ;)
I think we should stick to our appropriate Operating Systems until the day of the match. That is when we can decide how to even out the teams.
Linux dominates the playing field.
But if I cannot fight for Linux then count me in for the PC side.
I could possibly play depending on times. And good to see you Gibz! Please, go ahead and make a topic in the Welcome Centre!
I think that the players should stick to their platform no matter becuase in the last one macs had a ton of players then they left and pc had a ton. So it should even itself out again :P A way to get some pc publicity is to post on clan sites :P
@Rex, good luck trying to find a really active PC SWBF clan then...
Rex, I'm fine with keeping the teams normal but not even if they are a reasonable size, but the number right now is outrageous. 4v10 is not happening for me
Alot of people will come. Post on the VS site, Wusi, Wu, etc. etc. There active.
I might come if I feel like it
I should make it for PC
Play for the system you play most on.
Do not try to make the teams even, that is not what this tournament is about, if one side is more active it is more active, they should have the upper hand.
Mac:
1. Hardcore
2. SchTicK
3. Rhino
4. Tomaszl
5. Master Zen
6. Captain Rex
7. Commander Gree
8. Yankee
9. Sarg
10. Braeden?
11. Destructor?
PC:
1. Link
2. AG
3. Pi Man
4. Joseph
5. Gibz
6. Invertus?
7. Jedikiller?
mac... me.
BD is a PC, and I should be there barring any unforseen circumstances.
I'm trying to get some of PLA on here as well, and I assume some others will join from my advertising on Xfire.
My apologize BD and Khyler....

5. Gibz

I'll show up if I'm not busy or if I feel like it lol, but I'll probably be there for a few matches
It's Tomorrow right?
Yes we are.
I have one more attendee for the PCs- Bytor, a PLA member, should be attending.
I think the sides are about equal now, right?
Maybe equal in numbers but not in skill :P Macs will own you guys :D

If you have Ventrilo installed, please join the following Vent server:
vent2.gameservers.com
Port: 4601
Pass: pla-mpc
If you do not have Ventrilo installed, please download and install it from THIS PAGE (http://ventrilo.com/download.php). Select your operating system from the Client Programs list, install it, and join the server.
Server IP will be released tomorrow, so check back then, please!
Thank you for your joining and we hope you all have a great time.
I await the IP announcement. I have no fricking idea what Ventrilo is, but I'm looking at the webpage right now.
Ventrilo is a voice communication software. If you have a mic, we can talk to you and you can talk to us. It's pretty cool and nice to have during a tournament like this.
Do we have to use vent?
No, but I'd like to see everyone on it :)
okay cool.
TOURNAMENT IP: 130.160.60.47
The server requires FOUR to join in order for the match to begin. Please do not join the server until the designated start time of the war.
Thank you for attending!
I failed in installing it so i cant use it :(
I've installed Ventrilo and I think I know how to work it.
I'll be on Ventrilo and I'll be doing a live broadcast if Pi isn't going to.
Okay, I can work Ventrilo now. I'm on the server.
I just want the IP!
Due to life, I probably can't make this, or at least the first part of it. Still, have fun, I'm sure it'll be great!
Is it too late to join Jedikiller? (I also asked this in our Xfire forum. I'll be checking back and forth between the two, so just answer either one if it isn't to late.)
'
Tourney doesn't start for another 45 minutes, I think.
I'm curious where to find air1. I can't locate it here or on the-pants.org
Click the map codes in the first post. Clicking air1 will take you to a download site for it, as will the rest.
Less than an hour, get ready!
Thanks, JK. I'll be there.
I'm not sure if MF and Lief will show up, but we'll see. :)
ill be therejavascript:void(0);
count me in on mac side :)
wahts the ip?
I really think we should have air, we've all seen each other's ground fighting skills, let's see their dogfighting skills!
Congratz to the PCs for a well fought game. 6-2 we got owned.
Game started losing its enjoyability at the end when players starting spamming crude stuff, but the rest was great.
Thanks for hosting Buckler
PCs won-- again. PC 6 Macs 2.
I will have screenshots in a little bit. Does anyone have the Citadel results?
*edited* I overreacted. Sorry. Just try to keep it under control a little better next time, OK? :)
Makes me feel glad I never joined the Ventrilo server. :)
haha JK sorry about all of that...
Good Game's.

This was a nice little trick I was able to implement but I was so nice to you people and didn't use it.

Um ag those 2 screenies are the same :P
Rex shh they both show a PC win :P
Sorry I couldn't be there guys. My parents insisted I get all my homework done tonight :(
I'm too lazy to edit it....
I think PW was fun. I'd like to see another one. Maybe with Boonta Eve treated as a regular, fight and cp capturing battle, rather than a racing map, with planes off-limits since they can only be possessed by one side. Needless to say everyone would be the paintballer, rule or not. I think Mustafar on either era would be good too, since it's really in-your-face.
On a different note, to the guys who posted screenshots earlier, your spawn screen and stats screen looks really great. What mod is that? I'd really like to have it.
Sorry I couldn't be there also, the fact it was at like 1:30 in the morning caused problems for me :P Ahh weell looks like you guys didn't need me anyway!
Wow. Too bad I wasn't able to make it. Little brothers are so annoying sometimes...
You bet I'm in. Mac side! Lets own those PCs :cheer:
...the event has already happened.
Admin lock time?
Yes this already happened, be on the look out for a PW3 topic in the future.
