Polyhedron(maybe?)
Topcatyo
Cat(after 26th)
Exclamation
Discoball
Katamari
That sounds pretty cool and all, they didn't even say anything about a no sandman rule, which normally sets itself as a srsfag game. But they did say crits are off, which is a really downer for me.
I might give it a go.
I'm glad crits are off, crits are I'm a edgy teen.
It says standard weapons only, does that mean no achievement weapons?

globviously
okay, that nerfs the medic pretty well, I guess it also removes any chance of crits besides knifin' and shootin'.
I'd enter, but the only class I'm mildly good at is Heavy and I still suck on that one.
For now, we need all the clocks we can get. If there are too many of us, we can hold tryouts. There are seven positions, though.
Sure, I'm game. I'll see if I can get my Sniper skills to increase in time for some tryouts.
I'd say we should make a consensus on what classes should be used. When it's 5v5 capture point maps we're going to need a different strategy and maybe different types than what we're used to.
I'd go for Pyros, Engis, maybe a Medic, and a Demoman/Heavy.
Also, anyone wanting to play needs to make a profile on the escapist's forum.
OH ME
Also, when we play, I'd like it if we all use our Clock names.
I will go soldier, but be advised that maybe I will be unable to play, or suck unbearably
I'll go as whatever class we need at the moment in time. It's the best way.
Anyway, I'm registered on the Escapist now, feel free to add me to the team roster.
Please, all interested make a profile on the escapist forums and post the name in this thread.
Also post your steam names.
i made a profile on the escapist forum
username is k3ltr0n for both
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/519.114017
What do you think of this dude's advice?
Escapist username is, guess, topcatyo.
I'll get my Steam ID later.
We're all in agreement that the team name should be "The Clock Crew" right?
ENTIRE TEAM IZ BABIEZ.
loool me and a buddy were going to make a irl tf2 team, we might join in on this
If y'all want to join then get an escapist account and post it here already, we only have 'till friday to get this in.
i'll play but i'm in europe so ping will be shitty to chicago
so it's up to you,
escapist account is generalmbison
i'll get you my steamid later if i'm in
Since this is due friday, I want everyone who's interested to get their escapist names in by 11:59 Central Standard Time tomorrow.
Also, because of the ping precaution, our two european guys will have to be the alternates if we get more than 3 americans, and if we get more than 4 americans, we'll do some tryouts tomorrow or thursday. I hope you'll understand.

awww yeah
The team should be named after an inside joke.
I'm in.
My Escapist username is: TheDeathOfHell
Steam Username: alexleven
Steam ID: STEAM_0:0:12970348
(Do Steam IDs change between games, if it does I'll have to get the TF2 one)
edit: im american btw
I don't have a mic currently, but with luck I can get one.
Also I will do either medic or demoman, but I can always doubleteam with sockpuppet as scout if needed
Steam ID and Escapist profile are both DiscoBallClock.
I'm from Europe as well, but I've had no trouble with overseas servers so far, so yeah.
Quote from: Tom Dumont;1582143I'd go for Pyros, Engis, maybe a Medic, and a Demoman/Heavy.
No no no no NOOOOOO
Heavies, Pyros and Engis are basically useless, Engies to a lesser extent.
The best team would be a team of all Demomen but you're limited to one demoman so there's that.
Then it should really rotate around soldiers and scouts and bounce around those depending on the situation. Of course there will also be a medic but still. OF COURSE I WILL PLAY SPY SINCE YOU KNOW IM JUST SO GODLY B]
Do you need that big number that is my Steam ID? Or is my Escapist account enough?
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Flandre_Scarlet
Oh also Marlin here's my shittt
My account name on Escapist is Flandre Scarlet as well.
I believe my SteamID is 0:0:18700892

Oh I would love to join I am a PRO soldier.

There's only six spots besides mine, and 7 people gave me their escapist names by the deadline. Would you guys be able to do a tryout tomorrow?
I have to check about the necessity of your steam ids, since I don't see a space for them on the sign-up screen.
Escape name is: JudgeDredd
I SWEAR TO GOD IF I DON'T GET IN MARLIN
I cant tomorrow or this weekend, i'm going to be out of town )':

I'm available tomorrow.
Fine, exclamation, you're the last one though.
I think we should have the europeans play on a chicago server to see how their lag would be on one. Digitallemon, exclamation, discoball could you three give me a time we could meet today?

Ready when you are.
Okay. since you're on right now, would you mind just going to a server now, in case we can't get the other two for some time?
I'll come join you even though I'm in Florida. See what you brits are up to.
I guess he's actually from portugal.
So, from what I saw we were playing a 4v4 match in a chicago server and discoball was handling it pretty well.

That one with me as a medic and you as a soldier 1-on-1 was pretty lame though :(
In like 30 mins I'll be back though.
marlinclock is a faggot
i want in dAWG
Quote from: Marlix Wright;1583438But you will be back by the 27th, right?
yar
Okay, tonight I want to do a tryout for our five north american players, if we can't do anything tonight I'm going to have to just go on a judgment call for who to pick, as the deadline is tomorrow night so we don't have a lot of time to get this in.
Also, if anyone wants an alternate team name from The Clock Crew, post it here and we can bring it to a vote.
Someone give me TF2 and I'll play kthx
Also, ALL people who wish to play MUST have a mic to use for communication. No exceptions, me included. I'm going to a Best Buy today.
I'd join but my Firewall is fucked up right now.
I just learned there's gonna be a limit on teams, 64, so if tryouts are not done tonight I'm going to make the roster tonight.
Guys, I'm going to need steam ids, so post them if you haven't already, we really don't have time and if I only get 4-5 by tonight we just wont have a full roster.
I'm serious guys I feel you've been putzing around too much, I stated for everyone to post escapist names monday tuesday and wednesday. I need this information if we're to play at all.
Steam ID is not your name.
Do this if you can't figure yours out.
# Launch any Valve multiplayer game.
# Click Options.
# Select the Keyboard tab.
# Click the Advanced button.
# Check the box labeled Enable Developer Console.
# Click Apply and then click OK.
# Join or create a server.
# From the menu screen, press the tilde ~ key - typically in the upper left hand corner of the keyboard to load the Console.
# Type status into the console text field and press the Enter key.
# Your SteamID will be displayed next to your nickname in the console window.
Cat's inexplicably deleted id post :
STEAM_0:0:18700892
STEAM_0:0:16284371 apparently!
STEAM_1:1:7995075
Okay, that's five.
Also, right now, when would be the best time fo you guys to start? I would say at earliest should be 8e/7c, but it would probably be easier 9e/8c or later, since most of us would be done with dinner and all that. My problem with this is that our foreign players would be up early in the morning to play the games, and if we made it earlier in the day I think it would be harder for people like me in N.A. to be consistently open.
any time today
Okay, good, though I meant for when the tourny starts on the 26th or 27th.
oh lol then any time after 4:30 pacific time or whatever
For records: Exclamation's steam id
STEAM_0:1:17250644
Okay, here's the plan. If enough people(min 5, 7 max) we get their escapist tags and steam ids by tomorrow we can make two clock crew teams.
For now, I've made my decision for the first team.
Team Captain:
Marlin
Regulars:
Topcatyo
Cat
Torch
Poring
Alternates:
Exclamation(Judge Dredd)
Katamari(K3LTR0N)
We can still have a team 2 by tomorrow if some people get their stuff in.
We already have two people I had to cut from the first team, my apologies.
Team 2(at the moment):
Discoball
DigitalLemon
i am the best at this game ever, dont judge me!
All team 1 members, i guess how it really works is that you should have gotten a message inviting you to our team. There is a link where you input your steam id.
Yes I get to be with Topcatyo. Let me tell you about Topcatyo and TF2, he is beast.
That's great torch, but you still need to confirm your invite on the escapist.
Make sure to follow that link and input your steam id there.

You're too kind :D
Updated tourney rules.
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/519.114758
Looks like we'll only need to bone up on two different maps, and they're pretty similar.
Also, I guess only 1 per class.
I'll be pretty much anything other than Scout, Demoman, Sniper, and maybe Spy, not too great with him.
Also, could we try to get a team practice in before this starts?
It'd be nice. I was hoping maybe we could get some people for this clock crew game at 2e or maybe tonight around 9-10e
STEAM_0:0:24519343
Here we go.
Bad news guys, we didn't make the list. I told you guys that we needed to get this in quickly, but there's always next time.
There's a chance that teams drop out and we're on the waiting list, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
At least next time I already have all the information.
Damn.
More time to practice then, eh?
Also, Steam won't let me log in what the fuck.
I'm best with pyro, but I still suck at it because I've hardly played TF2 at all.
I just knew I shouldn't've waited so long.
AW POO
I shall scour the lands for TF2 tournaments. And when I find them, I shall ROARRRRRRRRRRRR. And may we all assemble, under the two suns of Tatooine, AND WE SHALL ANNOUNCE, THE CLOCK CREW IS HERE.
Also we'll win because I'll have my Razer keyboard that I won.[/brag]
Is anyone else having problems logging into Steam? 'Cause this shit won't let me log in or send me the e-mail I'm requesting to retrieve my account.
https://support.steampowered.com/
I sure wish I had TF2.
Im good as Scout, the bonker.
How could yopu be a good scout if you don't have TF2?

Maybe he's going insane.
MEDIC!

MEDIC!
I'm a great medic, i don't know why i play him so much though, i oprefer blowing things up not injecting aids into people.
Quote from: Steve;1593719I'm a great medic, i don't know why i play him so much though, i oprefer blowing things up not injecting aids into people.
I go Medic sometimes, but only when I'm not doing well offensively.
i also play defensive medic for no reason too.
