WiredServers

The potential in the online league sector of computer gaming is enormous, and we at WiredLabs feel that we can realize that potential. We look forward to a fruitful cooperation that will benefit everyone in a market that is growing at an exponential rate.

Very truly yours,

WiredLabs

Interested now?

Hm, but what mappers are supposed to do there?

Mainly were just looking to create a large number of maps that we can use for league play. We're going to be testing them and tweaking them until they are ready for competative play. There arent to many maps out there right now that can be used in competative play and we'd like to open then door with more maps specifically designed for this. As far as benefits go, the main benefit is having your map out there and getting it noticed. There are alot of other perks that come out of it also, but I'm not going to talk about those unless someone is interested. Again:

r.schumacher@wiredlabs.com

Thanks guys I've gotten alot of responses already and I'll start going over maps this weekend.

Why is it that no one ever fully develops these kinds of ideas? Every couple of months...someone comes along with the same exact proposal for the community...yet...I never see anything come from them...

:rolleyes:

And...I beg to differ with you...there are many competitive maps out there. If you truly want competition...run some 3.1 maps...otherwise...you'll run into the LAG-A-DELIC problems that is 1.0...and well...who can honestly compete for anything worthwhile when their (near) 3 GHz CPU and 256 MB video card can't run donner or charlie without MAJOR horrible framerates..hlds spikes...particleman out of memory...etc...etc...etc...

You should talk to the CGL guys...they had some great ideas and selected some awesome maps for dod leagues...and from what I know...it's still trying to get off the ground...

Later,

Hulk,
I know exactly what you mean. No one ever follows through on their "new" league ideas, and it end up just being cal and a a few other leagues, never anything more. We've been working on this league for about 4 months now, we have corporate sponsorship from some big name companies, I cant actually name them, but believe me, they're the top dogs. We're not here to mess around.

As far as cpl goes, one of the things were trying so hard to do is NOT become cpl. CPL is one of the most horridly run organizations out there. They try to make everything so "professional" by making these stupid rules and having events that no one even cares about (I think out of all the prequalifiers all over the US, one of them had 5 teams show up. Each was expected to have 16, and the most they got was 5?). In any case I believe you meant CAL which is the league, CPL is the big event.

We will be coming through on this league. I want to thank everyone for their emails. Looks like I have alot of people to go through :).

Thank

Dude...read...

C-G-L...

not CPL...

I've had sponsorship money lined up for months...but nowhere worthwhile to apply it. We're doing some things locally...at one of our local LAN gamer retailers. Those guys were happy as a puppy with two peters to find out about DOD. They had never heard of it until I contacted them a few months back and suggested adding DOD to their weekly tourneys and stuff. Of course, that was with 3.1...who knows what their opinion is now that 1.0 is the "current release"?

Next week, I'm visiting them again to discuss tournament ideas with them...and possibly a local gaming league...as I have another client that owns a LAN shop across town...

Things are interesting when they are local (face-to-face). I don't necessarily think the internet produces the greatest medium for organizing truly interesting get-togethers. Too many people "play roles" and want to be "mr. bigtime". When it comes down to it...they always back out of deals before their mommy finds out what they're up to.

Thus, unless you know who you're working with...you're at the mercy of everyone having the same set of morals, integrity, etc. Good luck putting something together...but people will lie to you as much as tell you the truth ;)

Later,
