QuakeCon 2011

I had previously been considering attending FossCon, but i think that if i went to QuakeCon instead, I could put my money to better use. I was reading and i found that you can register a game for the BYOC tournament section. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I could take the money several hundred dollars it would have taken me to drive to Philly for FossCon and instead put that money toward prizes for Xonotic tournaments. Right now i am thinking that i could run two tournaments, one 1v1 DM and one 3v3 CTF. Putting one hundred dollars up for prizes on each of them. I think with the number of people at the event and there background this would be a great way of attracting new player.

that would be awesome.

Good plan. I like it. Xonotic definately needs more exposure and QuakeCon is a good way to do it.

Hey there fellow Tulsan.

Also, QuakeCon would be good for Xonotic, I think.

Sounds like a good idea to be honest.
Which version would you run, I suspect the new development release?

I can only imagine how many people will stop and say: "Holy shit! This is gonna rock!" if you somehow grabbed some attention at QuakeCon.

I am watching the dev tracker closely. I think it might be realist to think that 1.0 might be out before aug 4th. and if it is not i think that it might be possible to ask for a stable build of wherever they are at, to show off what they have done.


Lee: yeah that is what i am hoping to spend my time doing when the official tournaments are not going on i am planning to go around pimping this game to anyone that will give it a shot.


*Update*: I have been planning this out bit and i ran into a bit of a snag. When thinking of running the event as a director i realized that there was no tournament management software with the game. So i know some of you have been around a long time. Do any of you know of any scripts or code i could use to manage a tournament. Or if you have a solution to management other than code let me know, i am open to ideas.

Also i am planning to make a shirt for the event, to help advertise.

Oh and i have not been on line for a bit because i having been moving, the good news is that in this move i was able to finally all my stuff out of storage, and i have found a lot of goodies for eBay. I just finished upgrading my PC, and now i have set my sights on building a server for xonotic. Not only for online play but also to host at QuakeCon. I am currently looking a Opteron 4130. with 8gb of DRR3 reg ECC. and a solid state drive. Plus i just upgrade my connection.

you could get on IRC to talk to the devs about it. (if you don't know how, I can PM you instructions)
i think it would be best to use whatever build is available when you go, as surely we will have made a ton of progress by then.

Just don't forget that it's ok to have the git build with a few extra features and extra bugs for fosscon but not for quakecon.
