Title: The Great Bitcoin DooM Tournament Post by: icanscript on March 27, 2015, 11:06:24 AM I would like to put forward what could be a fun idea for the Bitcoin Community to get involved and have a little fun with one another.
Remember that classic game DooM from 1994? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_%28series%29 I would like to organise a tournament to be played between Bitcoin Enthusiasts to compete against one another using a popular DooM port Zdaemon (http://www.zdaemon.org/) I would however like some ideas first, Such as prize money, entry money etc I am happy to host the servers on my dedicated server. I don't expect any BTC for hosting, I'm just putting this idea forward for a bit of fun. Please let me know what you think and if you would like to join. It would be nice to get an idea of the numbers.

The entry should be like 0.001

Making custom wad files took up many hours of my younger days. Title: Re: The Great Bitcoin DooM Tournament Post by: Amph on March 27, 2015, 03:32:56 PM i'm still playing this classic beast, one of the best shooter for me, but i prefer it could be done with gzdoom

Sounds good, I never heard of Zandronum, I used to play a bit of skulltag though. i'm still playing this classic beast, one of the best shooter for me, but i prefer it could be done with gzdoom i'm definitely interested Good to hear! GZDoom is nice, Especially for mapping :) Title: Re: The Great Bitcoin DooM Tournament Post by: Bitdonator on March 27, 2015, 07:50:24 PM Awesome idea ;D

Thanks for sharing this Zdeamon site with us Title: Re: The Great Bitcoin DooM Tournament Post by: Hyena on March 27, 2015, 09:29:05 PM I advocate Brutal Doom Mod (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn2J4Loe57g) on the Zandronum (http://zandronum.com/) engine.

Title: Re: The Great Bitcoin DooM Tournament Post by: Kprawn on March 29, 2015, 06:20:25 AM Yea that would be fun.....
I used to play that for hours and hours.... The Death match was my favourite. While you thinking on doing this, Counter strike would also be a good bet.... they have less chance of cheating.. I liked DooM but a high ping would be unfair in a fast paced game like Doom. What do you say... going for a game with less speed and more skill? |
