Title: Introducing: Weekly Tuesday Night Fight Cast 5pm-8pm PST, starting 9/3/13
Post by: Imagine on September 03, 2013, 01:54:17 am
What:
A weekly, open-to-all lobby. In addition to the games, there will also be a spreadsheet available which will track participant’s win/loss record while playing in the games. The matches will be 2v2, if eventually it's popular enough I may make it 3v3.

Where:
In game it will be called Tuesday Night Fight Cast. The games will also be streamed at http://www.twitch.tv/imagine42

When:
Every Tuesday, 5pm-8pm PST (the end times can vary, but thereabouts). The first one will occur on 9/3/13.

Why:
Partly for myself to practice casting, but also because I think it can be a fun thing to look forward to.


Additional Details:
1. In addition to streaming the matches, I will also track win/loss stats. This google drive spreadsheet will list win/loss based on a captain’s ship, map, and a combination of the two, as well as ones for engineers and gunners. The engineer and gunner stats won’t also be categorized by ship and map as I feel that is largely irrelevant, but also doing the same combination for every job type would start to get to be way too much work.

Spreadsheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApeYvav5m3zWdFZkWVBoLWJCNjlqQWNkZGpPM3JNM2c&usp=sharing

2. I realize this time is not so EU friendly, and all I can say is sorry, but I have a day job thus I can only run these at about the time I listed above.

3. Casting will be done by myself, but I may also have some special guest casters on every now and then!

4. While I’m planning on keeping the lobby open for all (this is not meant to be a tournament of any sorts), if a couple of teams wish to use it to play some scrims, please contact me at least a day beforehand to discuss that possibility.

5. If anyone has any questions feel free to respond here or to send me a message… otherwise I hope to see everyone out there on Tuesdays!

Cool idea. I would say though go ahead and make it a three v three considering it will be open to the public. Assuming minimal interest, people coming in specifically due to the competitive side of it will half fill the lobby which means pubbers would quickly fill the rest.

Yeah, I considered it, but I'd rather have the lobby full and games going than sitting around waiting for it to fill. We'll see though :)

I may be able to stop in for a bit of that. I gotta lead Ops in SWTOR towards the end of that.

I'll probably stumble in at some point. The difficulty will be getting a full crew of people  I know.

Maybe that's the interesting part. You never know.

Us ducks are spoiled. Its hard for a captain to get on and not have his crew filled with ducks.

Why is it just the captain's win/loss ratio recorded ... surely you should record win/loss of every player seeing as teams will be constantly switching as will people's roles?

Aside from that though its a good idea, a more relaxed form of casting as opposed to the structured tourney format, I like it

Everyone's is. If you're looking at the spreadsheet, there are tabs at the bottom which will list all classes.

I didn't realise that the games I decided to come in on today were part of this fight night thing. I knew it was being streamed but just assumed it was an impromptu thing. Huh.

Anyway, was fun times. Thanks to everyone who played for the games.
Those artemis's were a pain :p

I got to jump in for a match where the captain quit after 1 death and i had to take over. It was fun, too bad i had to log off after. I will definitely be joining almost every week, as i'm never really busy on tuesdays.

That's a lot of data on that doc you have there.

That being said I'll bring some Knights to the lobby next Tuesday, this looks like it could be good fun. Though it being a public lobby I hope I'll be able to get a ship in at least.

Hey mate, I went through and watched some of your stream. Nice stuff :D

Only comment to help you out is that the audio is a bit imbalanced, the shots drown out your voice easily in some sections.

Keep up the great work :D

For some reason my Mic's been pretty wonky audio level wise, been a lot more quiet for recently. Thanks for letting me know though, I'll try to adjust it for next week!

Shink is even co-casting. That's enough to make anyone wanna tune in for the blame.

Considering that last time I was casted by Imagine I flew into a mountain and died a most embarrassing death, I'd say I didn't do too bad this time around.

Hello All!

After a couple of weeks of absence due to various things, I'll once again be hosting the Tuesday Night Fight. However I will only be able to run it from 6pm-8pm PST today instead of the usual 5-8, my car is still out of commission and I have to take public transportation to and from work leaving me to get home later than usual. Hopefully we'll return to our usual time next week!

As a note, I'm going to have to start this at 6pm PST again today, still don't have my car back.

Holy crap it's another Tuesday already!

Will be running the lobby today again, but starting at 6pm PST once more, I have some errands to run after work today.

See you then!

As a note, Fight Night's not going to happen for the next couple of weeks (Christmas Eve and then New Years Eve). I might also change up how I do Fight Night for next year, it's been a little... lackluster recently.
