well, first the times: it is 1 am and 3 am GMT, so expect no EU members to show up. but you already handled this in a new post, and here is my advice: make an EU CTF and an US CTF. for the EU one, we could use the NL server for much better pings as well.

and i hope this will be without gun, right? in my opinion CTF with guns turns out into a repeater second mode and fletch second mode chaos defence. in fact i think there are much more lucky kills with guns than with forces. so MY opinion would be to have full force, but no guns. you can concentrated on counters to forces (evade grip whores) and it's generally much "cleaner" fight. i know there are some highly trained, excellent gun useres, but i'd say most of us are not ;)
my 2 cents

ulic i think you can call a vote at any time to change the game mode on the servers. and people usually vote yes for CTF. and you can participate anyway, you might not win, but you will learn. ;)

The only issue I see with that is the limitation of force powers. As a defender, I routinely use sight to see people coming so I can better organize a defense against an attack; also, I use absorb so that incoming attackers can't spam pull to take every weapon I have.

Defending your base with only a saber is a fairly futile effort. It's hard to kill someone with a saber (read: flagrunner) if they don't stop to fight you. It's even more useless if they have force speed.

Other than that, it sounds pretty good. That's the only real concern I have. I think it should be full force, or no force.

OK, here's somewhat-related question:

Can we have some place to PRACTICE CTF?

I've only played once, and I like it. But I'm not playing in a tourney if I've only done this once.

Let me know.

I agree with DB.. having force limited to that makes absolutely no sense to me. It takes away a big defensive weapon, as well as alot of the challenge from the game. Equality between teams concering force makes absolutely no sense, both teams have the same chance to use the same force. Unless one team is dark/other light that I wasn't informed of... Also, if you don't know how to use/counter the force well, real-life experience is a good way to learn. Nerfed force and bad timing makes me lose much if not all interest in this tourney :confused:

i think force DRAIN should be allowed. i remember a comical time in my youth where i tried to jump bridges at bespin, yet having been recently drained, i couldn't make the jump resulting in numerous "jackass"s and "dumbass"s. A truely classic kodak:cool:

hehe can't make it, times bad for me, school nights but I would still like to say my opinion. I believe FF is the way to go. To every force power there is a way to counter it in some way or another. THe capper will have the hardest time getting out of the bases(especially factions and bespin) with not having speed but the defense has push and pull (also the offense not have absorb to counter it).

I don't agree with that, Arcuss. With Push & Pull, normal weapons are already greatly hindered. With Force Seeing, the Disruptor Rifle is almost 100% useless now. With a limited amount of force, everyone will have the enabled force maxed out, so Force Seeing would give people "too much" power.

That is just my opinion. =)

Question:
Let's say that on the third day, "Bob" from Team A decides to switch to Team B. He is caught and banned from the tournament. Team A is now short one person. Does Team A get to find a substitute for the very last day? Or do they suffer the consequences of an unreliable ally?

Many people, myself included have problems with the KS server. Could it be on a different server?
