New event ideas.

[Quo]

I'm creating this thread to help come up with and refine ideas for new PGL events. We've had some great ones! It's been fun so far.

Anything that you can come up with and you want to discuss in the open, put it here. We'll mull it over, refine it and make it shine.

Don't be shy, let it out.

I'm pulling this over from the CoD3 Smacktalk thread, I want more input on it:

We rarely do any racing game stuff here at PGL. I think the War format would rock with racing games. I'm toying with an idea for the upcoming Forza 2 in which we'll split into street gangs/racing clubs/teams/whatever and duke it out for control of the streets. Everyone can paint up their own cars and race for control of the streets/tracks. We'll have adhoc challenges rather than 1 fixed time when everyone races at the same time, so FNFF will stay open for our traditional fragfesting.

The racing format will be cool in that it will allow for smaller teams and allow a variety of people to stay involved. We may even go with 3 or 4 clubs if we get enough signed up.

As far as the races, we can also vary the format. Combined team placing, winner-take-all, cat & mouse, multi-race events, derbies, relay races or baton-pass, etc. Heck, maybe even pink-slip races (wouldn't that be a beotch? ). I was also thinking we could battle for control of the official PGL car. Just a thought.

Let me know what you think and keep the ideas coming.

Oooo that would make me buy Forza. I think that would be a good time for sure.

[lovekeiiy]

you could test it out on either PGR3 or PocketBike Racer.

[KingAndyXVII]

Sounds good, i'm not sure if i want Forza but that could persuade me to get it.

How about another Gears tournament ?

[AZRaiderH8r]

I like the racing idea. I'd also like to see us do something with R6 or GRAW2.

[D_Litch]

I like the Forza idea. I think we definitely need to put in some Rainbow Six lovin' in the mix.

[Peench]

Sounds like a blast! This would persuade me to get Forza2 also!

And yeah, I think we should have some GRAW2 and R6 loving in the mix.

I'm thinking that we should intersperse some shorter tourneys into the mix. Have definite drop dead dates and times to speed them up and allow us to complete them more quickly. And thanks for all of your hard work Quo!

[KEEZY]

Yes... maybe a smaller map, or first to win X in a row? I don't know. The map idea is really fun though.

I'm a big fan of playing the War on a different night than FNFF. However, that is the time when everybody seems to be available the most. Maybe we have smaller in-game teams. That way if 5 from Orange and 5 from Blue can play some night, it will go down. With 20 or so on each team, there would be potential for matches all the time.

It seems like a lot of folks are into different games & not just set on one. I know I for one get burned out playing the same game over & over - no matter how good it is at the moment.

I'd suggest picking three popular games (ie GRAW2, R6:LV, and Forza2 to add in a racing game), and have one Friday be GRAW, the next R6, the third F2, and so on. That way, the ones who want to do graw can, R6 fans don't have to do graw, etc etc...

This would also help out with the, "I can make it this Friday but not next" issue that I know I've been faced with; this way, you're on every three weeks instead of two on, one off. Unless you wanna do all three...

One other suggestion would be to create small teams for games like graw or R6 & just to like a "team A vs. team B" kind of thing.

[ZoomZoom71]

For what it's worth, and Quo mentioned it in his first post, I'd like to suggest we keep FNFF's game some sort of shooter. That's what it started as, and is a part of the history of PGL. Roots, baby!

Freakin awesome idea!!!!

[Lord Sam]

Another great idea Quo, you are the man! I 'm with Unseen, this would make me buy Forza also.

I had a kinda neat Quo-like idea for R6V for the PGL. I'll need to try and remember what it was and put it together. Maybe I'll post it here on Thursday.

[BrewCityUpstart]

Not a fan of racing games unless its Motorstorm.


I say R6 and GRAW2.

[Elite Ronnie]

I have GRAW2 but I like Rainbow better and I like keezy's idea of a game in the week. FnFF just start too late for me but if there was a game @ 9:30 on a tuesday or wednesday or whenever I would play. But I know thats tough with all the time zones.

[ZoomZoom71]

Maybe what we should do is create a PGL Time Zone, and make everyone else deal with our schedule so we can game together at the same PGL Time.
