I disagree with it being a rule, just foe whoever it is and don't play with them anymore. Rules are great in theory but n oy only do they cause a disconnect between players and mods, but they're also rarely honored and it creates more of a backlog for mods to handle, just foe and ignore imo, much simpler.

@phong reject titans and loyalists, embrace mech marines and hunters.

A little while agile, the FC clan and the remnants of T3 hosted a tournament of where the EU and USA were against each other, playing a series of maps, and the attendance was so great we had to draft an A team and a B team to make sure as many people could play as possible. Once asked about the tournament, people had positive reviews, and there were always talks of another being possible, I'd like to make that happen.

The last one was during the summer, as this is when the most people had a common period of free time. I would like to organize one for the start of Summer '25, in the hopes of giving FAF players from Europe and USA something to look forward to besides Summer Invitationals.

I'm unsure what would work best for everyone in regards to format, rules, and management in regards to the tournament, some suggestions or even feedback from the last one would be helpful.

Is this of interest to people? I think it'd be fun to reintroduce fun based seasonal tournaments besides Rainbow Cup.

Two years ago we had Community Game Nights run by our old Community Manager (CM) Deribus, after some time these lost interest and died down. Although, we have recently brought them back and are on our way to have our 3rd CGN on Saturday 28th of September, 2024 (Current projection as of this post being written). Although the progression of attendance has been constant full lobbies (or even overflow), the feedback given to these events this far seems to be rather sparse or outright not said at all, which is fine to operate under, but how can we improve this Biweekly event if we don't know the good, the bad, and the ugly?

I'd like to use this Forum post as a way to gather insights on this event, hopefully if this continually goes on and on the insights gathered can be used to make adjustments, improvements and to help other aspects of FAF.

Please feel free to make any comments you'd like in regards to the Community Game Night, I'd prefer you'd have been there for at least 3 of the games since we've started them back, but I know a few of those who have been in vc only may have some insights and concerns as well.

P.S. If you have any suggestions for themes as well, we'd love to hear those as well.

Hello Everyone, with the first tournament now concluded within the collective project of Bully, Paradox Vindex and I now completed with a resounding success, I feel its time we looked a bit more outward.

We'd like to make this project as public as we can, and incentivize active participation for both enjoyment and improvement.
Currently, we have a u1100 bracket and a u1500 bracket, with the latter having finished it's first tournament, and our winner being Razana.

So without further ado, feel free to come and play in these tournaments, we plan to have these regularly and welcome casters and players alike.

As for u1900 1v1 players, is there interest in having a bracket made for you? I feel like the numbers dwindle massively due to lack of organized play and therefore loss of motivation, perhaps this will help?

If there's any questions or feedback regarding the project, feel free to approach me about it, any insights are good insights : )

Bro's leaving, take this on your journey.

Cya around Sladow, good luck on the other RTS scenes.

@yew Community Game Night is an organised event that started two years ago when Deribus wanted to have more community interaction as the Community Manager. It was stopped due to lack of interest, however it was pushed back into a trial period that is doing quite well.

Essentially, it's just a night of where there's anywhere from 2-6 lobbies of a certain theme, we've done 4v4v4v4, FAF Beta (technical difficulties iirc) and Multiple Armies Union Control, with many more planned : )

All are welcome, people who are int he CGN VC do get priority, and those who are toxic and such can be removed to make space for those who can genuinely enjoy the event people put effort into hosting.

Overall just good times i suppose.

Bait or shitpost, please call it in the replies.

Also pretty rude to say that about a contributor to the project, no?

Our Tournament has Concluded, thanks to everyone for playing!

Our top three:

@Nuggets refer to this message by bully in our rules and roles channel:
"We may ask players with a global rating significantly higher than their ladder rating to play a few ladder games, if they don't already. If you think this concerns you, you can already get started "

play some ladder please, 5-10 games if possible, see where your rating ends up, Vindex Paradox Bully and I can discuss it.

@Nuggets Team Lead doesn't know a lot about the forums : )
