Gears of War CAG Tourney - Bracket Update 19 DEC 06

Is it just me, or does it seem like only about 3-4 of the teams actually show up every night? Out of the 40 or so CAG members I have on my friends list, only about 8-10 show up on my friends list every night. Has this tournament become a failure?
 
Alrite I'm really trying to do this Team Revolution. How does Wednesday at 10:30 PM EST work for everyone? If it doesn't, you give me a time before the deadline and i'll make sure my teammates can make it.

It's hard to organize 8 people to get online at the same time together, especially when really nothing is at stake.

I have school Monday thru Thursday 5PM PST - 11PM PST. I can not play during any of this time. If we can play Friday, that would be best.
 
grey storm was all up and ready last Monday night but only Team Easy's leader was there....since then I've only seen swift(leader of their team) and areo(from my team) online.

dastly, I'm available pretty much anytime just shoot me a message if you need me online. I've been addicted to Guitar Hero 2 the last couple days so I have not been on the 360, but I check my messages via the web throughout the day.

I'll be ready to play when the time comes, trust me. Semester is ending soon, so I've got a lot of shit to take care of.

Your internets are broken.
 
Ok I am gonna message everyone on my team and Team Easy's leader. I will try to get my whole team up again for tonight.

if this doesn't work out tonight(Team Easy doesn't assemble), I might request that the Grey Storm win by default because we've been on as a team a couple times trying to get this match going
 
I suggest we make this more organized in that we need to actually schedule deadlines every week and matches to be played every week. Our best bet to contact each team is to have a specific IRC channel (gamesurge preferrably) and have an assigned leader and scheduler from each specific team to idle in the chatroom.

Scheduling Rules:
The team's leader or scheduler needs to get in touch with the team leader or scheduler of the team they are going up against. Schedulers and leaders please have a contact list of your players (AIM // MSN // Yahoo) in order to discuss what time they can play. Discuss and reach an agreement between two teams is important.

Match Rules:
Matches can be played anyday until Thursday night which is the deadline for reporting Wins//Losses. If the two teams cannot conclude an agreement, they are designated to play at a default time. Preferred schedule is as follows:

1. Wednesday - 9:30 Pm EST is scheduled default match.
2. Sunday - 9:30 Pm EST is the deadline to schedule a match.
3. Matches Have to be reported by Thursday 9:30 Pm EST.


Declaring Wins // Losses:
If your team doesnt show up on Wednesday (if an agreement cannot be set) then the team with the complete team wins by default. There is a 15 minute leeway just in case the other team is having difficulties getting online. Report your matches either here at CAG forums or directly In the IRC channel if i can convince Machshot to idle there. Winning team's leader is responsible for reporting the win.

Hopefully with some structure we can make this tournament a big success.
 
The only reason PLAUGE's match has taken place is because my 360 broke, I should have it by Friday. If it's a problem I'm sure I could find an 360 to play on, let us know.
 
I don't know whats going on here. Every time I try to join a game that one of my teammates keeps inviting me to I keep getting "Your connection to the host has been lost." This has been happening for the past two days.

Yeah, we have to play by tomorrow, so please do whatever you can.

I think you are having portforwarding issues. Check Gears of War forums in multiplayer at Epic's website. They have a sticky there fixing the problem. Hope that helps you out man.

Try this:

http://tommccann.net/live/

it has 3 pages/steps , explains it pretty well

I hope everyone who uses routers does this because I know I can't get Swift Fix(team easy) in my game due to these issues so I have to have my friend create the game.
 
Opened up the ports on my router and I was finally able to join games. Thanks nmon3447 and dastly75 for the link. My router wasn't listed anywhere but I was able to just follow the guide for a router that was similar to mine.

SOunds like a good idea. Not just for this tournament, but Gears of War matchmaking in general. Uh, there's one problem koop, what's gamesurge? And I don't really like IRC but I've used it in high school during the chatting heydays :p and I know how it works. I'll do more research on gamesurge and maybe dl the program later. My PC is on 24/7 eventhough I only use it like 3-4 hrs a day so I can be an idle mod, no problem. Let me know more about koop.
 
Well since that guy didn't get his Xbox back (I know he said he could get another though), you guys just want to do 3 on 3? I got a job this morning and the orientation is at 6 am tommorrow (plus its 30 mins away). So I'll probably won't be awake for the 10 pm time.

Well, Jim won't be home until 11PM PST. So...we may need you fill in earlier. I know ISMASHHOTCHICKS wanted to play at 4PM PST, does that work for you?

Oh I meant 4 PM EST... crap

I could definately have 3 on 3 ready for 4-5 PM EST today if you guys could do that

Z...noone calculates time with PST; it's always in EST :p

Yeah I can do that, I'll probably be up till about 8 - 9 EST. I was thinking you guys could do 3 on 3 later tonight, but if you want to this afternoon I can do that too, up to you guys.

My bad, I meant to type EST. Yeah, me, trak, and Matte are on now. Just waiting for you guys. We'll be here.

Gamesurge is just the server that the channel is going to be on. Most online gaming tournaments, leagues etc are usually on that server. I believe it is also one of the biggest servers beside rizon (although rizon is primarily a distro for anime server). Ill help maintain the channel and be a mod as well as register the channel for cag if you guys think this organization will help make the tourney a success.
 
sorry guys for playing crappy/not talking was arguing with my girl over some stupid shit that lasted for like an hour so really couldn't give the match my full attention

we got raped anyway

Haha, I thought this said "beat," instead of "raped" so I was gonna reply with something like "More like got raped," but you took care of it. Good Games anyway.
 
We should try getting this next match in early, possibly this weekend. When is everyone available to play (Revolution vs Hostile COGs).

I'm good the rest of the weekend and most nights.
 
[quote name='rly723']is it possible to play multiplayer versus on live with 2 controllers on the same xbox?[/QUOTE]

Yes. Create a separate profile, call it "Friend" on your 360 then have the 2nd player sign in using that profile.
