Basically expanding on Supercollider’s Fight Club UK for those who can’t make when it’s open.

The Rules:
1) 6 per side minimum. Tag teams and 4 per side missions don’t count.
2) Missions should involve a minimum of 3 levels (1-3, 2-4, 5-8, 1-10, etc.).
3) Missions must be posted in the Brawl Thread to count. Anyone can post so long as the mission meets the first two requirements. Be sure to post the levels involved.
4) Missions between 13:00 and 14:00 are considered valid. Exceptions may be made by the scorer depending on the situation.
5) Unopposed missions (6-0) WILL NOT count. Outnumbered missions will.
6) You post, you fight. We encourage trash talking but we also expect those who do to at least make an attempt at backing it up. A simple “I’m in” after a mission post will do.

How to Play:
Basically follows the same guidelines as Fight Club, but I feel a slight reiteration is necessary:

Once the “bell” rings, activate your best bots, head for the Missions Section and the Brawl Thread. Look for any mission that involves 3 or more levels either in the Mission Section or the Brawl Thread; it might help to have a couple of windows open. If you see a mission that fits the requirements (see Rules) that hasn’t been posted in the Brawl Thread, feel free to do so.

The thread itself is available for mission postings, bragging, and general trash talk between members. Scores will also be posted here, but consolidated to save space.

Current Score:

Why not just simply incorporate both clubs into one, or make it a worldwide club? Forgive my ignorance, but I'm starting to see a bunch of redundancy occurring.

by **Prowl240z** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 6:19 pm

Macaulay the first rule about fight club is we dont talk about fight club.

meaning we can't talk to the other club about joining it.... :p

Different time would be the obvious answer....

The whole point of the UK fight club is that it is when UK guys can take part...

I'll talk to Supercollider, see if there's a way we can coordinate this, especially since he doesn't have an IM account.

Glad I chose Monday as the start.

lets see if i've got this straight; if its 19:45 EDT, and 00:45 BST then BST is 5 hours ahead of EDT, which means this will run at 18:00 BST?

You need to be able to actually stomp on them in the first place Phaze

Should'nt this technically be referred to as another 'chapter' of fight club?

OK after PM'ing Mkall I reckon I've got a bit of a plan for how to do this.

Thunderscream - I reckon you should run USA Fight Club under this thread for a week or so so we can see how your cross-level missions thing works out and how many daily posts we'd be looking at.

Psychout & Kaijubot_uk - If Thunderscream's plan to open it up to all levels works out how would you feel about opening UK fight club up to them? I suspect the 1-3 missions would still dominate due to our enthusiasm but the extra missions might add extra "flavour" and maybe balance? I know that Kaijubot_uk wanted to look at individual level missions posting but I think if we opened it up like that we could be looking at tracking far too many missions per day.

After that week or so we could start a combined thread starting with posts by me and Thunderscream giving rules scores and lists of members. We'd then use the thread for opening each chapter up for the day, posting missions, new members comfirming they are in, closing the chapter and scoring. Then the next chapter would take over on the same opening, mission post, new mbrs closing & scoring cycle.
The smack talk would need to be moved out and into to the HM-Dub Social Club thread.

Opening would be like: -
SUPERCOLLIDER= "UK Fight club opens in 5 mins"

Missions posts would need the levels like we've started doing. e.g: -
PSYCHOUT= "1-3: Http:view mission666"

New members would need to confirm like this: -
NOOB PLAYER= [QUOTE "PSYCHOUT 1-3: Http:view mission666"] I'm in that one

Closing would be: -
SUPERCOLLIDER= UK Fight Club has now closed for the day, MISSIONS LIST - list all missions with levels and links.

when all missions have finished edit the closing post with missions results and the days total which I'd then use to update the scores post on the first page.

I guess the USA chapter would run on a similar basis to the above but Thunderscream would hold final responsibility for running and scoring.

Thunderscream - I've been meaning to get online for more that 3 mins at a time so I can chat to you Re: Fight club but I'm having to do DIY in the PC room at home and frankly I've seen tidier bombsites. I should be online tomorrow between 19:00 - 20:00 EDT if you're about then to chat but as it'll be Easter Sunday I half suspect not.

If anyone wants to PM me about this thought / proposal please feel free.

That was a plan I thought of and would have broched to Mkall had the "Creeping Crud" hadn't decided to play hell with me over the weekend. :-x

Sorry I missed ya on Sunday, SC. When I get sick, the computer is the last place I want to be.
