Official Megascrim Events by Posighdun January 10, 2017 at 6:01 AM UTC

About
In a bid to get teams and team members more active the Senior Staff will be coordinating weekly Mega Scrims at the listed times below. Megascrims will always be held on the weekends, at times that are best for everyone. The times will vary from week to week but the days won't. I'll get a proper megascrim channel going soon and I'm going to try to see if we can get a permanent server for the purpose of Megascrims, if not then we'll just use scrim servers.


What's a megascrim?
A megascrim is a scrim where members from multiple teams play each other in assigned teams. 2 captains pick and assign players to the teams and then we scrim. It's kind of like a Football match you might have at recess. There are no assigned teams, you just turn up, pick teams and play. Well that's how a megascrim essentially works.


How do I participate?
Anyone can play as long as they have access to Teamspeak, you don't need a microphone but you need to be on Teamspeak in assigned channels. If you want to play you simply come onto Teamspeak at the assigned time and move into the assigned channel (more on that later). You must also be on Avicus and be able to play on the server. You don't have to post here, you just show up. I want to stress this, you don't have to be a regular to play. All you need is Teamspeak so virtually anyone can play as long as they have Teamspeak.


How will this differ from Unofficial Megascrims?
They'll differ in 2 ways. A) These will be more organised and B) Unlike unofficial Megascrims, these will be hosted weekly at a set time.

Don't see why not.

You have a team of Officials and yet you are going to host events like these .-.

Posighdun January 10, 2017 at 8:01 AM UTC

I'd rather they work on a tournament or at least an event bigger than a megascrim.

Pelpelajax January 10, 2017 at 9:01 AM UTC

They have a job and responsibility, this is part of it. Senior Staff should be involved with other issues. Regardless, it should be easy to combine planning/hosting a tournament and a megascrim.

Hosting a Megascrim isn't much work, it's actually only a post you need and players. lol

Spartemex January 10, 2017 at 12:01 PM UTC

Nice! Sounds fun

Anyone can host a megascrim. It isn't really something the Officials should worry about. Regulars host these kinds of things every once in a while so I don't see a problem with us having a go.

Can I record it and post it on YouTube?

Bloodoh January 10, 2017 at 3:01 PM UTC

I think if there would be a prize (credits, temp-diamond or whatever) it will be more interesting and competetive.

Posighdun January 10, 2017 at 3:01 PM UTC

Well I do have heaps of credits that I don't need so I think we can make that happen.

A MegaScrim could be organized by everyone, also, as Posighdun said, the officials work on the torunaments or at least an event bigger than a MegaScrim. Whereas the Senior Moderators should work in this things that are more related to the community.

Alright :)

Posighdun January 11, 2017 at 4:01 AM UTC

Time has been released. We've done our best to accomodate most of the timezones. We'll do an Australian/Europe timezone one next week, sorry this week is a bit late for Australians :/

Thank you to everyone who participated this weekend. There were a couple of errors, however, they were quickly solved. We will hopefully be hosting another one next week, so remember to check this thread daily!

Will there be another mega scrim soon?

AtditC February 26, 2017 at 12:02 AM UTC

^^^^^

Also, wasn't this supposed to happen each weekend?

And btw, this reminds me of the NOSTALGIA EVENT PieZ any updates??

Posighdun February 26, 2017 at 5:02 AM UTC

I was going to do one today but there is an unofficial tourney so I can't. If you want to host it or get another senior mod to then by all means you can and I can make it an official time.
AtditC

Posighdun June 5, 2017 at 5:06 AM UTC

Hosting one today at 4/5pm BST, whenever we can get the most players on. We'll play whatever gamemodes you guys want. It will be hosted by me.

dev_revs June 5, 2017 at 6:06 PM UTC

Prefer unofficial ones, they actually make an attempt to letting Aussie's play. Oh well, hype for whoever is playing.
Funny enough the only time zone this fits well is BST. 
BST is BS
