Title: New Roping community idea.
Post by: deejay on April 20, 2013, 03:16 AM
Hey guys, so lately ive been thinking about ways to give to the game and possibly add more interest/activity to the roping scene in the game. ive thought to do a new community(name still in process) with RSC contests, TTRR Cups& Tournaments and Roper Cups & tournaments, and possibly once yearly a all around Roping championship.

with atleast 3 events a year with small cash prizes sent out by PayPal.

all the funding atm will be sponsored by me, but if anyone eles would be interested in helping or donating to the cause let me know,

if it all works out, at first before the community is launched and decided Ill  do a RSC tournament with a $USD50 for the first place.

but after all events will be held within the community.

What do you think? ;)

Edit:

https://www.tus-wa.com/groups/RL/
There is the group details are on the page for tryouts. the Tournament date will be announced after 15-20 people have made entry.

Those who have made entry to the tournament will also earn an invite to the group and will be able to enter in future RL events.

If it was just Roping yeah, but cuz it includes TTRR, nah :(

TTRR does not count as roping and you forgot warmer.

Were you talking to me? Or DeeJay? If me, then, I said that cuz DJ said this "TTRR Cups& Tournaments "...

And TTRR does count as roping, it involves more roping than any other scheme, eh? Unless you meant it doesn't count as a Roper?

I said Roping style contests. pretty much a warming contest.

Dub-c says the truth indeed. Roping=roper and warmer, rope racing=ttrr in my opinion ;).

Edit:
I forgot to mention that it's very nice idea.

Roping is using the rope to get around, how can't you know that lol?

A Roper is a Roper and a TTRR is a TTRR, both are forms of "roping"

Post by: Hussar on April 20, 2013, 08:29 AM
what about wxw ?

wxw requires good control, accuracy and fast roping - am talking about "hard" maps, when its hard to touch all walls and  back at begin, when u need to fight for each important milisecound to have way to atack or for some smart moves.

We can have our own opinions on that matter. "Worms roping" isn't an encyclopaedic term and our understanding comes rather through feelings than literal perception. As someone has already noticed, roper and TTRR gameplay and skillsets vary alot so I separate these two by using an exclusive term for roper.
Does this answer satisfy you? :)

deejay, thats a good idea.

but maybe you should focus at one scheme / style. After some years you can think about it once again.

Until there, it needs a lot of time / will / heartblood and I wish you only the best.  :)

That's cool man you can call it whatever you want lol, but i'd prefer to see the way YOU call it something like sub-genres of roping, since "roping" is a verb of "rope":

1.    (in traditional grammar) any of a large class of words in a language that serve to indicate the occurrence or performance of an action, the existence of a state or condition, etc. In English, such words as run, make, do,  and the like are verbs

WxW/TTRR/Shoppa/Roper/Darts etc all include "Roping".

It just makes more sense logically this way, but that's cool if you wanna call it the way you want lol...


DeeJay, this is a great idea, but we really aren't allowed to take part in events if we are not in the community? Alot of TuS players already have 2 communities, and you have to pay to be allowed more communities...

Post by: Prankster on April 20, 2013, 11:08 AM
Then shopper should be called something else too, because e.g. WxW and Team17 are shoppers as well.

Post by: TheKomodo on April 20, 2013, 11:17 AM
T17, Elite include roping too though !

Good idea dee, sounds a lot like x worms style contest, only for $$$.  The cash prize will generate interest for sure.
Title: Re: New Roping community idea.
Post by: Anubis on April 20, 2013, 02:58 PM
Sounds fun, keep us updated!
Title: Re: New Roping community idea.
Post by: deejay on April 20, 2013, 06:10 PM
Thanks for the input guys, ill release details for the community and first even soon.


Ill take into consideration about everyones thoughts of keeping it just Roping based(RSC and Roper) for the time being but id like to have TTRR at sometime aswell because IMO its the scheme that takes the most practice to become epic, and it will maybe encourage some people who are great at roping but not TTRR to start practicing  because they wanna win that $$.

I know 50$  1st place isn't a whole lot but its a start!

DJ - Don't know if you seen my message, but, are we really not allowed to take part in events if we are not in the community? Alot of TuS players already have 2 communities, and you have to pay a little to be allowed more communities.

I'd be interested in taking part, but perhaps not be in the community to do so.
Title: Re: New Roping community idea.
Post by: deejay on April 20, 2013, 09:36 PM
the first event will be open to the public, every event after that will be held within the community.  ;)
Title: Re: New Roping community idea.
Post by: TheKomodo on April 20, 2013, 09:57 PM
Hmm, I guess i'll pass then, no point doing it as a 1 off lol, i'd have to at least be able to defend a win, or chase a win the next time !

Good luck with it all man :)
Title: Re: New Roping community idea.
Post by: Anubis on April 20, 2013, 11:20 PM
But you only have 1 community though?  :-X
Title: Re: New Roping community idea.
Post by: TheKomodo on April 20, 2013, 11:33 PM
I don't want to be part of a community JUST to win cash prizes lol.

My other slot is reserved for something I can truly believe in, I take WA and TuS very seriously :)

Haha, the first thing I did when giving that map a spin was change its texture too.

Probably the only cheese map I don't do that on is, you guessed it, Cheesy. Because that would be heresy. :-*
