TXR in... Community Clash!

That's right! We've got the privilege of participating in ReachCast's Community Clash on Wednesday, September 11th!


ReachCast has a much better relationship with SOE than MLG does, and therefore have better access to the resources they need to put on a great cast. Their operation is more professional and legitimately competitive. The match we're partaking in is going to be focused and under controlled circumstances, a real match where we can showcase our skills against an opposing outfit.

What opposing outfit? Who knows! We sure don't! But we'll tell you as soon as we do!

The full rules for the engagement can be found here:

www.planetside-universe.com/p-community-clash-rules-135.htm

But for those of you who don't care enough to read the whole thing (or any of it), I'll summarize the rules here:

---

For each match, both teams select a base (and a backup base) to fight at.

Each match has two halves. One half will be fought at one team's selected base, and the other at the opposing team's selection.

Each half is divided into an Attacking and Defending round, so both teams will play both roles.

Points are awarded at regular intervals for possession of the control point(s).

ReachCast mods will determine placement of one "Hard Spawn" sunderer per team. Neither team is allowed to touch the other's hard spawn.

That's the short, simple version. The real rules have lots of detail, if you have any questions about what this event is gonna be like, read them yourself, watch past ReachCasts, and familiarize yourself.

So, here's where you come in. Leadership has compiled a spreadsheet that allows us to easily figure out what class you favor, how you play it, and even our own personal notes on how you work in a team, ect. (Thanks, Tom!) The data also includes stats pulled from Planetside Universe as part of your individual profiles.

Based on the information in these profiles,and the personal judgement of leadership, we will be selecting a team to participate in the event, as the numbers we can bring are limited. This is how we will pick a crew for this and all similar future events.

If you would like to be considered to participate, this is the place to tell us.

Comment with your name, primary and secondary class, and a link to your stats page on Planetside Universe.

We will only be selecting from this pool of volunteers. There will also be a backup crew in case someone selected doesn't show or must leave during the event.

Here are a few things to remember if you want to be considered for participation:

---

---We aren't just looking at your stats. Your ability to follow orders quickly and without question, and your ability to work as a team are just as important, if not more.

---There will be a MANDATORY training before this event where we will familiarize you with the rules of the competition. Some of these rules will result in immediate, no-warning disqualification of the whole team if violated, so even if you are selected, if you don't go to training, you won't get to play.

---If you sign up, make sure you keep the 11th clear on your calendar. Take off work, skip your classes, say no to that party invitation on Facebook.

You will not be considered for participation in this event if it becomes clear you haven't read this post carefully.
