Respawn LAN Forums _ Gaming _ Peer Games!
Posted by: SirSquidness Apr 4 2011, 10:29 AM
PeerGames is a new concept where we get yourself and the players around you (your peers!) to run a small competition in the spirit of a FunComp. We let you pick the game, the rules and the win conditions (subject to approval, of course). The aim is to have fun, and we want to let you, the players, pick the best ways to achieve this.
There’s a lot less work involved than it may seem - it’s actually quite a trivial task! If you’re interested in making Respawn what you want it to be, head on over to the forums for more information!
You’ve read this far! Still interested? Sweet!
We’re going to timetable all of these events. Depending on how much interest we get, we’ll run them every hour or two. Where there’s long events (eg, an 8 hour long Minecraft “creativity” comp), we’ll run with overlap, but otherwise we’ll be aiming to keep all of the events in their own timeslots.
When picking your game and rules, keep the following in mind:
- The aim is for fun. It doesn’t matter if there is a winner. These are like FunComps, but run by you!
- Where there is a distinct winner, we may provide a small prize ($5 food voucher or similar)
- Freely distributable or very popular games are preferable - we want to get as many people playing as possible, so if only you and two others have the game, it’s not going to be much use
- You’ll need to be in the game to make sure no one is cheating and a winner, where applicable, is picked.
- The games, including warmup/practice rounds and set up time, should go for anywhere between 20 minutes and an hour. The games should also be unique; unless there’s overwhelming demand, we’ll only run each game once.
- If you need help setting up a server, deciding on rules or anything related to this, we’re here to help!
What do you need to do to be involved? I’m glad you asked!
Email http://mailto:sirsquidness@respawn.com.au with the following details: your player name/alias, the game you desire to run, a short summary of the game mode/rules you intend to use, a preferred time slot and if you’re feeling particularly generous, a mobile phone number*
We’ll keep in touch to fit you in to the schedule and confirm all of the details with you.
Got questions or need clarifications? Post below!

I want to run a bad porn staring contest - person who lasts the longest wins!

I hate to be a wet blanket here, but I don't think the admins would approve that one. There are younger people who do attend our events and that would not be the right thing to do.

It's bad porn - nobody said anything about 18+. =)

I would love mine craft from what i heard ( i was not at the last event ) Didnt really get Judged or have some prizes would be fun to have one going though give something for the Creative people to enter

MineCraft will certainly make an appearance. If no one else ends up volunteering to run it, I'll make sure it is looked after; hell, I might buy MineCraft just for the occasion!
I'll be running a few FunComps myself, but there's only so much one can do! D:
I will definitely be running a Diablo II speed leveling comp again; that was cool.

In reference to the above, I'm putting my hand up to organise/run a DS/Pokeyman tournament. Still kinda lacking in details atm. But it's a start.
EDIT: Also, when's the last time we did Tetris DS? Let's do that, too ^^

Guys, guys, guys I've got it.
Okay now what we do is run a GMod build your own fighter vehicle computation last man standing wins.
That or CS:S hide and seek.
Posted by: dead_man Jun 8 2011, 07:53 PM
im down for hide n seek. also freelancer
Posted by: RyuFromStreetFighter Jun 14 2011, 05:04 PM
Actually what if we ran a GMOD RP server, probably DarkRP seeing as it's easy to manage and what ever.
Would I be running the server on my own PC or what?
Posted by: SirSquidness Jun 14 2011, 10:23 PM
If you give me the files, we can run it on our own hardware for you. If you don't want to configure it yourself, I don't mind setting it up myself either, but it'll be pretty close to default settings 
Posted by: RyuFromStreetFighter Jun 14 2011, 11:05 PM
I'll give you the files, just set up an RCON Password for me so I can edit the settings.
