Just a few hours ago I was reminded of the occasional titan scrims that used to occur on TG quite a while back. For some odd reason or another they seemed to have died out as a TG "night-in", and as of the last few months it's mainly been come-as-you-want password nights.

Well, here's a proposition to revive the internal scrimmages of old, as well as a long-ish description of how it works for those who haven't played in one:


Usually best of 3 rounds, as opposed to round after round one night. Nothing too special about that, right? Wrong. If we go ahead with this plan there will be a sign-up thread, and a roster of the max amount of players (I'm guessing 48) will be created. Supporting members go ahead of non-supporting members in the list. Any overflow will be put on the "reserve" roster - I won't go into too much detail about this, but chances are, even if you're on the reserve list you might get a game.

Once signups for the scrim night is closed, we split it up into 2 random teams, SLs and COs will be picked (if you volunteered for such positions on your signup) and the Tactical Conflict server will be used by your team to communicate battle plans before the scrim. Each team's specific forum is password protected and these respective passwords are given out to each member of the team via PMs so they can access their team's battle plans at any time.

And that is where the main difference comes in folks. We're no longer just spontaneous killing machines - we're carrying out specific, well thought-out, Commander pre-approved battle plans to outwit the similarly capable enemy.

Another reason I'm so keen to see this happen is that I don't think an internal scrim has ever occurred during the time of SL-SL Teamspeak communication, which will undoubtedly make this night even more tactically chubby. Even those who don't like the SL channels will admit that this night is one of those nights they most certainly should be used.



So...interested?
