View Full Version : Want To Represent The Site At Halo 3?
The tournament is being run by
http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee175/consoleheroes/Misc/CharityGamersVer3.jpg
Heres a little about them...........
Most people play videogames for their own entertainment. CharityGamers which consists of CG Freedom, CG JumpMan CG Titian CG Crazy CG CandyMan came up with the idea to get people to play to help people in need. Using the popular game Halo 3, through our efforts, so far we have raised $1600 dollars towards cancer research. All that was done in one tournament , in one day. We plan to organize more tournaments, but also donate portions of profits from other tournaments our Halo 3 team participates in. Theres only one thing missing, and it's you. Whether your a gamer or not, you can help this fun, and worthy cause, and by doing one simple thing. PLAYING VIDEOGAMES. How easy is that? We've been recognized on bungie.net, 4 radio stations in the tri-state area, and our 1st tournament brought people from 4 states. Get involved, play halo, and help a bigger cause.
Ive tried to make the teams balanced as much as i can and still give us a chance to win it with any of the three teams,
remember though its all about fun at the end of the day.
Please dont do anything foolish and refrain from smack talking as its to help promote cancer research and spread the word about it.
This is very important to the site,and we dont want our image tarnished as you will be ambassadors for the site.
The teams in no particular order are..............
Console Heroes Green
Stinkyfire
JustcallmeChill

Custom Paradox

Im most likely able to participate, i just need to locate my halo 3 disk somewhere in my room, ill get back to you by the end of the weekend and let you know.
Update ive just spoken to Charity Gamers and the tournament will start at 7pm Eastern.
Members will be notified by sunday evening of the teams,
this way you will all have time to get familiar to each other and kiss ass in the name of Console Heroes.
If we win ill give each member of the winning team 50 of my Hero Points each,
All people that take part get 10 Hero Points.
Anyone willing to be a sub?

yeh i cant see a problem in that time, ive got college at 8.30am the next day but its only for a couple hours so i can sleep after :) Do you have any idea on how long it should last?
My guess is about an hour or 2,
if you cant stay on long you can always shoot your team mates.
:p
Bradmatic
01-14-2008, 12:49 PM
nah that should be fine, i kinda enjoy staying up and doing all nighters when ive got work the next day, kinda ruins your sleeping habits and messes with your head, bring on the paranoia!

01-14-2008, 02:18 PM
I am proud to be a sub TY for adding me much appreciaated. ;)
Ive updated the 1st post in this thread,

01-14-2008, 02:24 PM
Alright. There might be needed a sub for me. Depends if I can go to someones to play H3. Got 360 taken away because I went to Downtown Toronto, and someone though I fought a Hobo...
And I'm not 100% sure about Hero. Good thing he is a sub, cause I don't know if he'll play.
Shadow
01-14-2008, 02:42 PM
Hey everyone, did you know that Common beats up hobos in his spare time!? :omg:

I'm not 100% if you need a post requirement for this, but I would like to sign up as a sub.
I eventually will start posting. (On school computers atm)
Red Team
Wednesday at 7 PM EST is when we play. Please tell me if you can't make it so you can be replaced by a sub. iJohn send me a Friend Request your list is full.

There isnt a post requirement for this,if you have a game or 2 with some of our members and if they vouch for you i will add you to the subs list.

Flea. How are these teams being made? By skill, randomly, or by picks? I think captains would be good.
The teams have been made check the 1st post.
:p
They were made after much consideration and balancing of peoples skills that i have played with on games.
In other words i picked what i think were the best combinations to get the last 3 teams fighting to win the final.
:)
Comon
01-14-2008, 08:06 PM
Hey Flea, I know Renato767 personally, He goes to my school, so whatever you need me to vouch for him, let me know.
iJohn, send me a FR aswell, as I need you for this, and the R6:V boosting...

01-16-2008, 02:07 AM
I believe Shadow needs a Sub, as his 360 red ringed.
Also, EPG Hero can't particpate, as I was to lazy to tell him :P
Shadow
01-16-2008, 03:12 AM
Yeah I can't play now since my 360 is now dead :(. Sorry everyone hopefully one of the subs can step up so I don't have to ruin it for my team
Bradmatic
01-16-2008, 04:16 PM
so far none of the green team has been in contact via me (to my knowledge) and the tournie is tonite, so if any one from this team could contact me or just let me know what the plan is thats great thanks.

Hey, Green Team/John, can you get on earlier so we can do some customs? We need everybody ready.
Also, whats the word on subs, as if "Ronato" is playing, i need to call him.

Sounds good. I'll be on around 7:00 ish Central time, if my team wants to throw down some practice rounds.
Internets finally completely up and running again. We had an incredible ice storm back in December that put things out of wack until recently, so I shouldn't be lagging to heck anymore.

I take the blame,
sorry i messed up the Central/Eastern time zone and went an hour forward instead of back or the otherway round.
i apologise to punisher for this mistake and making him unavailable for the tournament.

You know, I had to do quite a bit of digging to find their site http://www.charitygamers.org/news.php And was wondering why nobody had mentioned that it was MLG Settings on MLG maps?
(hmm... sites holding non-default tournaments other than MLG itself???)
I would like to be listed as a sub, if worse comes to worse I could always fill in around game time... but if my connection flakes out I may not be worth much to the team :(

The tournaments already under way,i asked around a week ago for people to sign up.
unfortunatley 2 of our teams have been knocked out so far.
:(
I will still be giving them hero points for taking part and a big thanks goes to them for representing the site.
:)
The reason why i didnt mention it was mlg settings and maps it it shouldnt make a difference,if you want to represent the site then it doesnt matter what rules or what kind of competition it is,its spreading the word about the site and in this case also helping spread the name of a good cause.
if your not willing to do it normally then why should it make a difference if its playing professional gamers?
Yet again thanks to everyone that signed up for this tournament.

Because I spend much more time playing MLG and I know that there are also a lot of people who don't like to play MLG settings. It also would help anyone who had registered to play by letting them know what they were going to be playing when they arrived...
However as stated earlier, my internet is pretty flaky and I wouldn't want to be a primary, I was keeping an eye on the thread though and wanted to be added as a sub if at all possible since someone with a bad connection is preferrable to someone with no connection... I hadn't realized that the tourney was already under way and apologize.
And I would have participated under normal circumstances, as I originally posted, however my internet is not functioning normally right now :(
Well keep your eyes out in future,as im hoping to make a few more tournaments like this possible for our members,
and also have some friendly games against professional clans,so people can see how they fair against pros.

yeh exactly and by the time we had that semi sorted we were already down by too much, even with st1nky rizzaping them all, even when we had host they still managed to lag us out as well, it was very weird, never seen anything like it, i wouldnt go so far as to say standbying but eh it was unnatural to say the least. Sry guys for letting down the site. :sick:
Rocket
01-17-2008, 04:13 PM
Yeah, our game was lagtacular as well...not to mention that the host never switched hands in our game, to my knowledge at least. Also, there was a strange thing that happened during the CTF match...when they picked up the flag, the guy who had it was running faster than everyone else...way faster...

i hope that was a joke rocket, lol, as much as i hate it, we cant go round complaining about connections for a charity event UNLESS its happening to the majority or at least a fair few of the teams, otherwise it'll look like x3h is just moaning and being bad sports.
At least it wasn't just our game...so Flea, what are you going to do about this?
What i can do is make sure we dont play in any of the tournaments again,other than that im not sure what i can do.

It wasn't the lag, the fact that in both our game and Stinky's the 'flag' carrier was running much faster than the rest of the team. I'm chasing him down and he is moving away from me at a larger rate of speed than me gaining on him.
What i can do is make sure we dont play in any of the tournaments again,other than that im not sure what i can do.
Im open to suggestions if anyone has any.
My suggestion would be to inquire as to what all the rules are, what is being used on the maps, i.e. weapons, power ups, spawn points etc.
Here's a suggestions...it's done and over worth. Close the thread.
Why close it? If someone has a gripe about something aren't we supposed to be listening to them? Aren't we supposed to hear about what happenned in a tournament? Especially if it's one that is supposed to be done for charity? I volunteered to take the place of someone who was unable to play, and I'm laying down the concerns that I have and what I noticed. Yeah, lag happens, thats fine. It was the super speed that the flag carrier had that is my concern. When I got into the match I couldn't even get someone to explain anything to me. I had to find out during what was all going on.

Well I think we should talk to the owner about these issues and possibly never participate again if this is how they're run.

Ive already messaged him on msn about it and left this message in their forums.....................
Can someone please contact me as soon as possible thats in charge of the halo tournament please,
Playing a game in a tournament is great,
but sending a message to a player you have played 24 hours later calling him a lame ass and a [censored] is down right irresponsible and ignorant.
I think its great how 1 person has to ruin things with something like this,and totally ruin an event.
Theres no way that we want to be affiliated with a site that supports racist actions like this,
the cancer research thing is fantastic,the racism isnt.
Well it appears that they dont wish to do anything about it,
as the forum message hasnt been replied to,and neither has my msn.
Ive removed them from our myspace, and i cant see us having anything at all to do with them in the future.
