upon popular request

Lets hammer out a plan for a PG Tourney. Its something you guys have been asking for a while and im finally convinced it would be fun

HARDWARE

​

XBOX - 4 Consoles - 8 Controllers
PS3 - 4 Consoles - 8 Controllers
PC - 8 rigs
Displays (Shared) - 8 Plus (if possible) a projector
Camera - 1

WHO WILL PARTICIPATE
​

Since most of us have broadbands, im thinking a league like tourney with best teams/players from Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad (others cities welcome) facing off in a grand final over the internet. We might also make league games online depending on the number of people interested.

WHICH MACHINE?
​

The plan is to use PCs/360s for local matches and only using the PS3 for finals (i.e. online matches). A problem for us is PCs, people can bring their consoles to the spot easily but a PC is a whole diffferent story. any suggestions how we can do this? how about someone picking up pcs from the homes of guys who dont have their own transportation.

DID YOU SAY KARACHI LAHORE AND ISLAMABAD

​

Yes. There will basically be simultaneous PG meets in 3 cities with more people joining in via the internet. We intend the Tourney to be finished in a single day (i.e. the league games plus the finals).

WE STILL NEED A PLACE

This is the hardest part. We have some places in karachi, homes of some pg members etc but i fear we might have to rent out spaces in out cities. It would be great if members from all cities can visit thier local gaming zones and find out how much it will cost us to rent 10 or so PCs for 6 hours. We can connect the consoles to the pc monitors, im sure those guys wont have a problem (atleast the guys at playdium karachi dont)
​

HEY YOU!

how about a show of that pg spirit! as you can see we need consoles, games and controllers! it would be great if we can find copies of PS3 cause thats a problem. 360 games are dime a dozen and there are plenty of controllers around. Please guys, if you can bring a console, controller, pc or a display, do come forward!


so this is just the blueprint. no date yet. suggestion welcome, what do you think?

[USUF]

There will be Halo 3?

Im your man!

 

[w00t]

TF2 FTW!

Means if I am from fsd, I can join the game online from my PC?

 

[USUF]

Yaar this online thing is a problem....Many of us have braodband, sure, But i don't think its the best idea. Ping/latency problem and shit....Hey...Lets get Adam to organize the Halo 3 Lan-party at "Wired-up gaming"...Im sure he can do it again and i'll participate gladly.

 

[radd]

yes, thats the idea.

 

[Hamza Resisted]

Yaar ! I knew it there would be a time when I would need to get a Gaming Rig and now is the time ! Anyways what games are we gonna play !

 

[grimr3aper]

hey man will there be fifa???i have a ps3 and fifa so count me in...btw radd awesome idea man...oooppsssieee...just read the title of the thread[slaps himself on the forehead]

 

[radd]

games are totally up to what the participants wanna do! right now, im more interested in how we are gonna pull this off. im thinking about nominating a guy from each city to coordinate with the members. we need to look at what we got in terms of hardware and space before proceeding further.

 

[grimr3aper]

yeah man that's true...i'm gonna go and check out local gamin cafes in pindi/isl.....my friend knows this dude who owns a gaming cafe in pindi....that could work eh!

 

[USUF]

I think it'll be hard for each champion to compete with the other across the country. Why not just name a COD4/Halo 3/ FIFA champion of each city and leave it there?

 

[grimr3aper]

ohhh and just my two cents but the fifa shouldn't be the 09 version but the 08 version

can everyone please fill this out?

 

[USUF]

1. LETS DO IT!
2. Which ever can easily accommodate us all
3. Wired-up gaming charges 100 Rs/hour on Xbox 360. I heard they only have 2 of them. Whilst PC gaming Playdiums charge 100 Rs/3hours
4. I can bring my 360 if it gets fixed before the event.
5. No, but im good with the camera
6. I say offline.

 

[grimr3aper]

1-man i think this is one sweet idea and given enough time this should flesh out real good.
2- i think a gaming cafe would be a much viable option.I mean its gonna be wierd at someone's place.
3-i guess its like 35/hr.But ill talk to my friend,maybe his acquaintance will give us a discount or something.
4-i have a ps3.
5-HELL NO.
6-i thin the original plan to pit the winners against each other was awesome but it's kinda idealistic and i'm sceptical about it working.

Oh and im gonna ask around friends i know in bahria because they keep on organizing gamong competitions and stuff...they have contacts because a lotta gaming cafes send their teams to play in them.

 

[USUF]

^ where do you live exactly? KHE Bahria is right next to my place.

 

[radd]

great feedback guys! much appreciated. hope we get somemore and then we can decide where we stand.

is it possible to play online from a gaming cafe??

 

[USUF]

is it possible to play online from a gaming cafe??

Some cafe's do have internet connection available but i wouldn't recommend it.

 

[Shyber]

I think we should keep it LAN based. Taking it online over the whole country would seriously complicate things.

Booking a good gaming zone for a day is the easiest most feasible idea IMO. Only if USUF ain't the one doing the booking.

 

[USUF]

Only if USUF ain't the one doing the booking.

lololololol

So should i book the playdium in Khada market? Just tell me how many people are coming..(lmao)

 

[alamode]

If its Fifa on PS3 tourney in karachi then im there just tell me the time to come ill come lol
