Forum:Wiki Clan Event

In our first CoDfrence, almost everyone (acually, I think everyone) expressed much excitement for having a wiki clan event. And, with the release of Rezurrection coming up, a clan event would be great. I propose that we have a clan event a few weeks from now on the 27th or the 28th at the same time as the CoDfrence. The Xbox players should play on the new map, Moon (or Kino if they don't have any DLC), while PS3/PC/Wii players just play in 6vs6 private matches. And, if any of the games are recorded, they should be put on our youtube channel. There will be one video for each console (or more, if Zombies goes on for a while). What does everyone think?

Discussion
For ideas on what events we should have, post them in this section.

I suggest we have lots of seperate zombie games on every console with 4 people in each game, and at the end of all of them, we could see who got to the highest round. 23:21, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Games
As discussed in the Codference, we shouldn't limit the event to just one game. Plenty of people would be willing to play MW2 or CoD2. Shotrocket6 (T/C/E) 23:28, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

I well...cant find my MW2 disk and will not play Black Ops Multiplayer, so i'm gonna stick with zombies. 23:32, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * You could always download it via Steam. Shotrocket6 (T/C/E) 23:36, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I play on xBox, i dont remember xBox having steam (watch me be wrong somehow).23:39, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * >.> Didn't think of that... Shotrocket6 (T/C/E) 00:13, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Drk: Xbox doesn't have Steam. Only PS3 can be connected through it.-00:21, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

On CoDference we said that we should start with BO and work our way down. At least I think we did. CoaZ Talk  23:42, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

I don't have any paid DLC, nor am I likely to have any, so I'm probably out for this. 07:50, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

It was mentioned that no DLC would be involved in the event. 08:21, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Quoted from above: "The Xbox players should play on the new map, Moon". So we're already straying from the plan. 08:28, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * DLC should not be involved in any fashion. People shouldn't (and won't) pay money just to play on the same maps that everyone else is on. 01:12, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * What about the people that get the DLC play on the DLC maps, and the people who don't play on the default maps/MP?.-01:16, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Kino der Toten? Doesn't require any DLC, and it's a map everyone likes. 12:38, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

For clarity's sake, is this open to anyone or just CDWC members? Carbonite 0 18:15, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just CDWC members I think. Major_Rank_Marines.png  Reznov115 Talk Anim-tactical-nukeemblem.gif  19:17, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not being demanding, but if it were just for the CDWC, it should not have been on the War Room. This should be a community affair, and if it were only for the CDWC, it would be biased towards a select group of members. Of course, I don't have enough mainspace edits, so I'm probably just nagging events so that I can participate. 02:29, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * You only need 50 mainspace edits to join the CDWC. And when (if) we do this, everyone should have the clan tag [CDWC]. Ireland_flag.gif  CoaZ Talk Ireland_flag.gif  04:27, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * The requirements for joining the CDWC is either 250 mainspace edits or contributing at least 3 months. 07:13, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * What? Doc.Richtofen told me it was 250 mainspace edits. Then CoaZ says it's 50. Now, MLG says it's either 250 mainspace edits or contributing for at least 3 months. Can somebody confirm the final deal, cause it's stated on the CDWC page that one requires 250 mainspace edits. 11:15, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * It's the one on the CDWC page. Either 250 mainspace edits or 3 months of contribution. I think CoaZ has had it misunderstood. 15:00, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * what if i had an older account for a year or so, but it got deleted, im not sure if this one has 3 months, Raygunprofile.png savageporkchops talk Raygunprofile.png 14:44, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

I can only play BO multiplayer, but since I have a slow connection, I might suck, so go easy on me Shotrocket xD Joseph Tan l talk l edit count l contribs l 14:07, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * /rape face Shotrocket6 (T/C/E) 14:57, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

The Wii (At max) can only hold 5v5 matches. Since there is only three wii players here, it won't be a very enjoyable, as it will be just a 1v2. To make it even, I will withdraw if nessccary. Reznov115 Talk  17:11, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

I think CoD4 would be the best idea. Slowrider7 03:50, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ya, I just got to a hacked lobby last night so I can use my favorite weapon in that game :3 09:52, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Reznov115 there are now 4 Wii players so it can be 2v2 matches but i like to play zombies. And i have a headset.Cloudstrife4life 13:06, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Moon
Me and Sp3c are going to receive the Moon map for free, due to getting the hardened/prestige edition. I would like to know who else is getting the new map pack, in hopes that i can organize a zombie game on Moon. 23:40, August 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I know that you'll probably call me a narb (Which you always do) for saying I'm getting it.Anyways, I'm getting it that Tuesday.-23:45, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm getting it as soon as it comes out even though I have to pay 15€ for it. But it's worth it. 23:51, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Only four people can play Zombies, go beg in IRC. 12:06, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * We can have more then one Zombies game going on. Ireland_flag.gif  CoaZ Talk Ireland_flag.gif  16:42, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah I'll be able to play Moon, I think. 11:29, August 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm in.  Desert Eagle.png Tr0529 Talk TAR-21.png  10:21, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Another thing, please use a mic, it's really hard to play if you don't tell us what's going on. 18:14, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * My mic is broken, so I can't speak myself, but I can still hear others. If that's ok. 20:48, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

I say we play zombies, Kino Der Toten to avoid the DLC conflict. Hilarity always ensues, and it would require teamwork. 15:17, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Other details

 * When is it (If we have got to that stage yet)?


 * How will we decide who is going to host each console?


 * If videos are taken, will they be uploaded to the Youtube channel?


 * I can't believe it isn't butter

09:20, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * We'll probably first set a clear water-proof table on when each games are, they should be put in good time due to varying time zones. For example, Sp3c lives in GMT -8 (I think), and I live in GMT +2.
 * The one with best connection should host the games.
 * As CoaZ said, they should be put on the channel if they are recorded.
 * It's not? 09:32, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * And we should probably make it happen during a weekend, for obvious reasons. 12:18, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I suggest using the same timetable as the CoDference has. 15:27, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for not getting around to posting on this for so long. I've been a mixture of busy, lazy and slightly under the weather at one point, so let's say I was sick.

Because no match can be interconsole, each group must have its own organizer to make sure things go along well, moderate, host, etc.. The maps and gametypes aren't important decisions right now and are recommended to be decided upon on the spot based on what participants would like to do. DLC maps should only be visited if everyone in the group has the map pack so that no one is excluded. Anyone who wants to be a host should volunteer themselves here and have a good connection so that they can support however many people there may be in their group. I'm not familiar with how private matches work on the PlayStation 3, PC, DS or Wii, so I recommend that hosts do whatever is necessary so that participants may join, friending users/etc. as necessary.

Groups wanting to play Zombies will, of course, be limited to four people and will be organized by individuals interested (such as playing Moon with DrkDragonz and Sp3c, where two more people may join).

The first event will be on Call of Duty: Black Ops and will be scheduled for Saturday, August 27th. Just so everyone is sure, you don't have to be in the CDWC to participate. All you have to do is be a member of the site to attend. This thread may be a bit messy now, but if this first event goes off successfully and we continue these I'll make a more organized project page for simpler information retrieval. 01:23, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * What time? I'll only be able to play after 4:00pm MST. Ireland_flag.gif  CoaZ Talk Ireland_flag.gif  01:26, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is likely to be at the same time that the CoDference was at, as that seems to work for the most people. 01:32, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Damn. Ok. I most likely will not be attending then. Ireland_flag.gif  CoaZ Talk Ireland_flag.gif  01:37, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * As long as its not sunday, i'm fine with the time. I live in EST, so it better be somewhere in the afternoon, cause i wake up late :P 01:48, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, I was thinking, we could also set up 9 player parties and go play a match in Ground War (Online).

On a side note, are we limited to 6v6 or can we do 9v9? It DOES allow up to 18 people in a private match, IIRC. Bumblebeeprime09  |  This is Bravo Papa Nine, over. 03:25, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Can I request that we create an entirely new page for the purpose of this event? A War Room topic is not the best place to host a discussion. May I also request that the time be a bit different - I'd love to take part, but the Asia Pacific time is in the early morning. 13:20, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

We should orchestrate group leaders for each console. Consoles that have more people than will fit in one party may have multiple party leaders. I will take the responsibility of orchestrating the PC events, if nobody else wants to. Shotrocket6 (T/C/E) 17:18, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

As the times don't have to be at the exact same time, I suggest making the players as close as each other as possible. Would also avoid connection lag a little bit. 18:56, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Query
What I do not get is why people participating can play on whatever map they want. Yes, it is important to have a team playing on Moon as it will be fresh in the Call of Duty universe. However, I don't see what's stopping people playing Five or Ascension or any other of the zombies maps or even Private multiplayer matches! As long as for every game being played has a method to record it, I do not see why we should not play as many different maps as possible. TheDocRichtofen (  Talk  ) 12:44, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * From looking at the thread, I think there will be games on other zombie maps too. I think we are going to try to get as much crammed in as possible. Major_Rank_Marines.png  Reznov115 Talk Anim-tactical-nukeemblem.gif  13:28, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I specifically suggested Moon for a couple of reasons. First, its the new map, so we might have fun playing it, especially if its your first time on that map. Also, if we play that map, we would have alot of info and such for the Moon article itself, helping the wiki at the same time. And also, who said that we wouldnt play other maps? :P 00:21, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Discussion
Considering the event is confirmed, I've made this section so as to help concise and collect information, requests, details and wishes and make them clearer for whoever's leading the event. 11:34, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Time and Date of Event
18:00 UTC 12:27, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

See, that's the problem. It's going to be 2 in the morning for Asian Pacific users. What about 12:00 or 14:00 UTC? 12:32, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * In that case it would be WAY too early in the morning for Yanks, and I'm certainly sure there's many of them. 12:59, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Times can't be convenient for everyone. Someone's going to be stuck with that early morning hour no matter how you slice it. 16:45, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like a bit earlier set-up, it would start for me at 21:00 and assuming the event will be long, I couldn't be in it for long. 12:59, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

I'm fine with this, as long as its not on a sunday. 13:01, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Wait a sec... how long is the event? It might be a day-long event, so everyone can take part, it's just that some players might never get a chance to play with others, and that traffic for some parts of the day will be very low. 15:40, August 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming it's going to go for as long as people hold interest. Now, I know that's just a vague generalization of a statement, but I wouldn't see this going for more than a few hours at tops. People are going to leave/get bored/whatever as time goes on and before too long there won't be enough people to conduct a game. If we had fifty or more people on one console I could possibly see it going a good portion of a day, but I think it will be very safe to assume that by three hours after the start of the event it should be over. Not that I'm saying it will last three hours nor that it can't last more, but that's a prediction I'm giving. 20:21, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Event Leaders
Can I be one? Well, not feeling greedy, but is there some sort of process to choose the event leaders? And how about for different consoles? (PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii?) 11:34, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Scores Recording and Video Recording
I know on the PC you can use FRAPS or source recorder, but does anybody have any tools to record the Xbox, PS3 and Wii with? Reznov115 Talk  11:58, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Capture Cards can be found cheaply on eBay. Or you can connect your TV to computer and Hypercam it. If it's fast... 16:32, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Speaking from my perspective and only my perspective, guess what eBay transfers to here cost (North-East Europe), though I'm planning to get a Roxio cap card soon. With the connecting TV to computer and recording it through PC, I don't think that's gonna work. It would still only record the PC portion of it, not what actually displays on the screen. 16:44, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not to discourage your quest, but most cheap capture cards are not worth the buy. Even Theater Mode gets better quality than some of them. You have to be very careful if you really want to get one of the cheap ones, and I'd recommend looking at quality test for the device on YouTube first. Additionally, you sometimes need decent video editing software to make sure the final product is of the highest quality possible (such problems include having unsynced and/or stuttering video and audio, and interlaced video when watching in progressive).


 * In all honesty, you'd be better off to save up for an HD PVR, but those can often be $150+. I'm not sure if any of us have one, or have the means to obtain one within a week, but no video might be better if the video recording is extremely poor. 13:39, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Other Queries
PLEASE ANSWER! Does the speedtest idea still work with the Wii? Yeah? Reznov115 Talk   10:35, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Groups
As pretty much everyone that would participate have signed their names to the list, we should probably make a navbox (?) soon on "groups", and who are gonna be in which one. Group 1 being on Moon, Group 2 being on MW2 etc.


 * Bear in mind MLG, the Wii doesn't have MW2, no multiplayer from CoD3 back. Just a reminder. Major_Rank_Marines.png  Reznov115 Talk Anim-tactical-nukeemblem.gif  17:23, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Family Settings
Considering I have had Xbox since I was like 10, and installed Family Settings at 11, now I can't delete them so I have the problem that you'll need me added on Xbox to actually talk to me. 16:36, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm quite sure many people are adding each other anyway, so that's not a problem.
 * Good point. 14:53, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Also...
Is it possible that Combat Training is played in 6v6 Hardened or Veteran, it'd be a fun challenge using teamwork against the unpredictable crazy-skilled bots. 16:36, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * They don't have skill, just aimbots :) 16:46, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * We'll need teamwork to beat them XD 14:54, August 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Teamwork? Call of Duty? Never.... Major_Rank_Marines.png  Reznov115 Talk Anim-tactical-nukeemblem.gif  12:08, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * If it's going to be people who are friends on the wiki, duh there will be teamwork. 12:50, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wait, we're meant to be friends here? :P12:54, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

Final details

 * You Don't have to be a member of the CDWC. If you are, please use the tag [CDWC].
 * Hosts are yet to be decided
 * At 18:00 UTC, on 27th August
 * If possible, use a mic or text chat
 * 6v6 private matches, along with a few zombie games
 * Maps, modes are to be decided
 * We will start with Black Ops and work our way down the line
 * People playing Moon will be able to find things and add them to the wiki (as DRK said)
 * If games are recorded, they will be uploaded to our youtube channel (Codwikiofficial)
 * The event will go on as long as people hold out. When everyone leaves, that is it.
 * I think it was said in the codference: PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM AUG, FAMAS ETC.

There, I got nearly everything in one section. Now where's my prize >:D. Reznov115 Talk  21:42, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * To clarify, this event will take place in Black Ops alone. In future events we'll work our way back one year at a time until we loop as constantly having to switch disks and reinvite everyone would slow the event down and be tedious. 23:11, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

I was also thinking of people going to public matches as a party. It would also make teamwork more essential and I bet it would be fun, even though I myself won't take part, since we're only going BO this time (as Chia pointed out, for which reason I crossed the "and work our way down the line") and I don't play its sucky multiplayer. 23:54, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Private matches would be better IMO. That way we can say that no one can use the FAMAS/AUG/AK74u. Ireland_flag.gif  CoaZ Talk Ireland_flag.gif  00:34, August 21, 2011 (UTC)

Dammit; I can't make this. 08:12, August 21, 2011 (UTC)

Is a PC event going to happen? Just wondering as there are not a huge amount of people. Plus my bet is that it won't be recorded if on PC. 08:16, August 21, 2011 (UTC)

Why would I stay away from the AUG/Famas, that's just a stupid rule. 13:16, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * So Smuff doesn't rage quit. But yeah, ^ 13:19, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm gonna use Famas, Ghost and Second Chance...
