The [FGS] Clan

Greetings to the FGS clan from Hivemind,

it seems that with a new clan coming to the surface in dxmp, the other clans that still have members playing the game have become a little excited -- as expected, and it certainly makes me glad.
Not without having noticed sufficient amount of interest, I've come here to post a challenge thread.

As you've no doubt noticed, our 0aug representation has grown quite fast, to a point where it allows us to potentially propose a variety of possibilities.
We are currently discussing whether or not to set up two, fixed 0a squads within the clan Hivemind, potentially allowing for 3 separate clan wars within the same game type with our clan! But, until we've figured out how entire clan feels about it, we would like to set up a normal match in standard 0a.

That still has some unique possibilities, such our clan being easily capable of a match as large as 6vs6 or even higher! The epic scale (and epic lag) of such a challenge might motivate your members to consider participating in the match. Ultimately, the number of players per team will depend on FGS wishes, as we are able to match any suggested number.

Information:

Challenger: Hivemind:¤:
GameType: standard 0a
Server: pref THC (neutral) but due to poor relations with that clan and trustworthiness of FGS taken into account, your server should suffice
Rules: 2-3 Maps (3rd Mandatory if Draw), 20 minute per map.
Maps: Challenger maps OR As Discussed with FGS
Players: We prefer at least 4 vs 4; as mentioned, 6vs6 or higher should be possible, potentially up to 10v10.
Time: As Soon As Possible for both clans

Should FGS react positively to this friendly challenge, we can begin discussing times and other relevant details.

Other than that, feel free to stop by our forums and say hi

It will be chaos, COMPLETE CHAOS
Good luck guys.

All sounds good. What actual maps did you have in mind.

One thing I don't understand is that "Synthetic" is being reported as the player "Unknown", but here appears to be "Ken/Rand12om"?

Synthetic is Ken.
And Rollo.. don't mix up public and private topics.

Go get 'em Ken

Sorry I don't understand, I was asking Ken. I posted here first. If it is a private topic, then I wouldn't mention it unless asked to. But nevertheless no mix up ok sure.

YOU DON'T ROOT FOR YOUR ENEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used this nickname in spring-autumn period in 2006, challenging many clans, so it is not exactly a new name, but I do not know who has been saying that I'm Unknown.

What maps do you guys prefer for 0a? I won't go with the challenger maps idea here since we ourselves aren't entirely certain about custom maps yet. I suspect it may be easier for starters to just see what you suggest and make our recommendations.

Good, finally some cw!
I recommend personally maps, where is many space, because it will be at least 4 vs 4. For example: Area51 Bunker, Silo, Smuggler.

Smuggler, CMD, MiniDust in that order but Maj's list is ok. Happy for any suggestions.

I like the idea of a really big fight, like 6 v 6 at least.

Just out of curiousity, where do I find the full FGS memberlist?

That's a good point, Psycho. There is one but it's located in the private forums.
We'll be posting one in the public area soon.

If THC is willing to host for us, we could go as high as 10v10, relying more on ANY member we can invite to the match, rather than strategically planning the lineup which can delay matches as small as 4v4.
And no, I cannot promise we have 10 members showing up the day of the match any more than FGS can, but with sufficient amount of interest we can set the "lets try and see" goal there. As pointed out in earlier post, the sheer epic scale of such an unheard of match should get otherwise inactive members interested in participating.

Don't worry, FGS won't most likely line up with 10 either.
Since it's the first meeting, it might result in a 4vs4.

About server, I can rent one and use it afterwards for something else. It takes about 20 minutes to order usually. It will just be a lot cleaner, fresher, untouched etc, no mapvote installed or anything else. I can share admin with Ken or whoever np. Just it will need Anna I think, GD comes with Nepthys, I forgot tbh.

Just the 2 other maps to be negotiated between the two clans. The only map it seems everyone agrees on is perhaps Smuggler.
