Nexuiz 1vs1 scheduling
Nexuiz 1vs1 tournament groups and matches have been defined, with the exception of the seventh group which we hope to fill in soon.
Please take a look there and see what matches do you have and report here about your availability. We're hoping to do some matches tonight already (Saturday 9 PM GMT and on) if any pair of opponents is available.
So just post the soonest time you are available so we can match you up. Most participants noted the weekends and during the weekdays mostly evenings so we should try to cluster our availability on those points in time.
After you post I will set the date, hour and minute if necessary and you should then show up about 15 minutes in advance on #gamefest IRC channel on irc.freenode.net or #gamefest.nexuiz on irc.quakenet.org to be quickly briefed on the rules and sent to a match. 
The rules are simple when it comes down to it. Each player chooses one map and you play both until the timelimit or max number of frags are hit. You MUST record a demo for inspection purposes!
Thank you










Available for games Saturday CET 21:30 - 00:30, Sunday 11:30 - 22:30. Not available Monday.
Hopefully I will be able to play Sunday afternoon or night US Eastern Standard Time (-5 I think). Weekdays, I have only a few blocks of time where I absolutely can't play. I think that Europen "evenings" will not be a problem. That would be midday in most of the US.
..so I should be able to start Monday if not Sunday. Regardless, I'll probably be able to accomodate all/most of my opponents. [Note that weekends are not that great for me, but I may be able to squeeze something in whenever I know ahead of time. I did not specify this in the sign-up page since my schedule will probably not be a problem if push comes to shove.]
Could we get something up on the game fest homepage that alerts people to this scheduling that is currently underway. It may help push things along faster/smoother.
I am available from now on for another 1.5h
I am also available tomorrow basically throughout the day. I will have things like lunch etc., thats understood, but other than that I am available, and I can be contacted by using IRC at #gamefest.nexuiz at QuakeNet
My timezone is GMT+1
Available for the rest of tonight and, most likely, all of tomorrow.
(Going to go shower, and then I'll pop in #gamefest[.nexuiz] for more info.)
@Jose, I'll try to put a brief colorful status box on the homepage which will show current status of tournaments with a link to more info.
And btw, I will unfortunately be away most of the day after 3 or 4 PM GMT+1 tomorrow (sunday), but I'll probably be back around 10 PM or so. I suppose some matches can be done without me being present all the time if all rules are followed and demos recorded though, but would be nice to know who would do a match tomorrow then.
I think Jose and GreEnmArine could, if not tonight, have a match tomorrow.
Tonight at least Spyro_boy and Diomedes, but I hope more of you guys become available. It may be late evening here, but in US it's not so late yet.
Rough availability plan:
Usually from ca. 13:00 GMT to 23:00 GMT
Except Wednesdays: from ca. 18:00 GMT to 23:00 GMT
Fridays week-ends I can play later
week-ends earlier with prior notification so that I can make sure I'm awake ;-)
Except:
Wednesday Nov 28 not before ca. 20:00 GMT
Fri/Sat Dec 7/8, Fri Dec 14: not at all
Sun Dec 9: possible only later
I am in CST. that is GMT-6.
With that in mind, I am available till midnight tonight (6am GMT)
Tomorrow andmost of next week, roughly 7pm to midnight.
it looks like I will be heading out on a job Friday through next Sunday
If necessary, I may be able to game during the day and work in the evening this week. please ask at least a day in advance,and I should be able to move my schedule around.
Timezone: GMT+1
Availability: All weekend + Evenings during the week.
If you see me on IRC (irc.freenode.net/#gamefest), notify me.
Available Sunday 2pm-4pm, Monday 7pm-8pm, Tuesday 6pm-7pm, Wednesday 5pm-8pm, Thursday 5pm-8pm, Saturday - 1pm-8pm. All times are -5GMT.
My timezone is GMT+8.
Friday and Saturday I could do until 1 or 2 my time (which would be 5 or 6 GMT), Sunday I could only do until midnight, which would be 4pm GMT.
Weekdays (except Fridays) should be the same times as Sunday.
Edit: I'll check later if somebody from my group is available for a bit of shooting and killing.
I'd just like to note one rather important thing. Nexuiz ladder servers don't appear to be running only 1vs1 maps so when playing on those servers and the mode is different than normal 1vs1 deathmatch a map has to be changed with the one with a "dm" prefix. This shouldn't be a big deal since each player chooses a map anyway, but just so it is known, a way to change map is this:
vcall chmap dm_mapin console where "map" is the name of the map. For example:vcall chmap dm_toxicwould change to a "toxic" map in a deathmatch mode which is on the server set as 1vs1. Also to see a list of available maps just press tab aftervcall chmap.To finally move to the map the other player just needs to accept the vote by pressing F1.
@reptiler: I sent you a personal message, it's about our match in group stage.
my match vs. reptiler took place
@jose: when is the earliest moment you can play today ?
The match free-zombie vs. Rad_Ished took place, Rad_Ished won.
Demos are at http://www.freedomware-gamefest.com/node/46
It appears we didn't completely follow the procedure, I hope it doesn't matter.
I should be able to play within an hour of you confirming on this thread (I'll keep checking back).
Narrow the following time range. I am using your time (I am 13 hours behind).
8 -> 13 Monday (gmt+8) -- this would be the end of Sunday for me.
21 Monday (gmt+8) -> as late as you want Monday or Tuesday early morning.
I can maybe play during part of the time not specified but you have to ask as soon as you can for me to confirm.
Probably I can accommodate a similar range for the next several days should you not be able to play Monday.
@Jose: I am available in IRC for direct communication. Either at irc.freenode.org at #gamefest or at #gamefest.nexuiz at QuakeNet. I will be there from now on for another few hours.
Jose: I'm wondering why you aren't checking back on this topic, as you already answered another thread after my response...
*keeps waiting*
yes, I am ready now. ws practicing.. also, i have a new irc client give me a sec
Today I can't play because I have serious network problems. At the moment I write from my friend. In weekdays I am available from 18.00 to 21.00 UTC.
I'm usually available on:
- Tuesdays from 17:30 to 20:00
- Wednesdays from 15:00 to 22:00
- Thursdays from 11:00 to 20:00
- Fridays from 18:30 to 0:30
- Saturdays from 14:00 to 0:30
- Sundays from 15:00 to 21:45
Hours in GMT.
I've updated the Nexuiz 1vs1 page with match results from sunday. All is fine, but I do have a comment on a match between free-zombie and Rad Ished.
It appears that both maps in that match were played on the same server, one in which there was a noticeable lag disadvantage to free-zombie (who also lost the match). According to the rules free-zombies chosen map would be played on a server where he has bad ping and Rad Ished's chosen map would be played on a server where he has bad ping (basically vice versa). Since this wasn't done, free-zombie has a chance to call for the match to be repeated.
In that case it will be repeated and results will be modified if they change. FZ, reply to this post if you want that.

Now, here are the further proposed match schedules:
plouj - libervisco: Monday (night towards tuesday) 00:15 GMT (plouj's 7:15 PM)
plouj - KIAaze: Tuesday 11:15 PM GMT
Ironwolf - Thunder_PT: Tuesday 8 PM GMT (hard to match these two so trying to find a compromise, Ironwolf agreed to this time even though it's much earlier than he originally specified, if Thunder_PT can do a match at the maximum of his tuesday time it can proceed. I'll probably be there to send them off)
reptiler - Jose: Monday 3:15 PM GMT
These are just proposals for now. Please confirm if you're ready for it. You can also feel free to just meet up at best time when you can do it and do a match. I don't have to be present for you to start if you can start.
Cheers
Well, for me the time for the match with Jose is fine.
By the way, is there a low-grav map in Nexuiz, like Morpheus in UT? I really loved that map...
10:15 gmt-5 / 23:15 gmt+8 is fine with me. Looks like that is in about 9 hours.
Okay then.
Good there's a time-limit. Otherwise we might be playing forever. ;-)
for dr. evil (although it seems he is absent): I am available on weekends at the evenings (7pm to 10 pm, GMT+1)
Available from 7pm-11pm Monday to Friday, Saturday 7pm-1am and Sunday any hour GMT
I am here.. let me log on to irc.. i sent you a private message.
Ironwolf - Thunder_PT: Tuesday 8 PM GMT (hard to match these two so trying to find a compromise, Ironwolf agreed to this time even though it's much earlier than he originally specified, if Thunder_PT can do a match at the maximum of his tuesday time it can proceed. I'll probably be there to send them off)
You got it wrong. When I said I was available from 17:30 to 20:00, I meant I was available to play on that time, not to start playing. That means I must end the game at around 20:00.
Sorry...
