not sure why that belongs here but okay....Devs can you make it so that I (or I can help) set up fight nights? I've done it or supported it with a couple of games and mods including Mare Nostrum and Making History. They REALLY do wonders for dead or dying mods

What I think we should all do is...

Arrange a day to Play Together!!!
Maybe, Possibly, if we held Tournaments announced on the forums?

Actually I didn't read the above post until I had already replied  ;D

But when I say tournament, I mean full blown.

We could get together a whole slay of trees, and pair people up at random. Whether it's 1V1 or 4V4. We'd play on a match basis. I'm sure you guys know how the gamereplays.org tourneys work?

I would defiantly volunteer to help set this up and I'd love to pair up with someone. This is a great mod, and this is a good boost for it.

I can make it if
1. It is at night.
2. you get paired with someone of equal level.
3. There is NO requirement on skill level(I am terrible)

My time zone probably doesn't help me much...

 Yea, I'd be totally interesting :)

 Slay a whole bunch of trees??? WTF?
You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity

You all seem pretty enthusiastic about the Fight Night idea, which is great. It is down to the community to organise it but I will offer any help you need for this event. We do have ties to GameReplays.org, so if you need to contact them give me a bell.

I actually just had the idea of a Fight Night to show off the mod and came here to post it - made only 2nd place though.

GR's Sunday Night Fights http://www.gamereplays.org/companyofheroes/portals.php?show=news&news_id=601843&home attract a lot of viewers (max was 200+). So this is about live broadcasting a game!

But I definitely would start small: a 1vs1 with 3 rounds. If that works out one can think about a fully fledged tournament.

So we need one participant who is able to broadcast in high quality. I volunteer to be his opponent but I'm only lvl 6 and I have crappy upload speed.

What would be really cool is to have some of the devs give some info about the mod and comment that game live!

Here's how to live broadcast yourself in case you're new to it: http://www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=534619. And here's THE Broadcast Status Site: http://broadcast.fulltimegeek.de/.

BTW: XFire and the Broadcast Status Site already recognize the EF mod so you'll see the EF icon when someone is broadcasting an EF game. And as you see the site already sports the OMG mods banner - it could show the EF mod's banner, too.

Back on topic-- I probably would join the tourney, but time zones would be a problem.
