Hello and welcome to the official thread of Snipeboards!

With my last thread I talked about an idea I had about a great project of building a website that could unite the Sniper community once and for all. If you didn't already take a look, here's the thead : http://www.snipezilla.com/threads/need-opinions-on-this-project.235/. After now 2 days of feedback, I can clearly come to the conclusion that the sniper community wants this project coming to life. Every response to the idea were positive, however there is a certain debate over the 1V1 mode that I proposed, but we'll get into that further on the post.

Administrators
I have chosen 8 admins as Snipeboards staff. All good and old time snipers who are respected and appreciated throughout the sniper community. They are also listed as group moderator on the official Snipeboards steam group. Here is the list:
  • Trippa
  • Zarack
  • Robin
  • Sora/Alchemy/Quake
  • Twsd/Twisty
  • Darthdoggy
  • DrunkDoc
  • J.D
  • Myself, Cats
IMPORTANT: If you have been chosen, but for any reason you can't help, please contact me as soon as possible so I can name someone else.

1V1 game mode
This gamemode would, originally, be a match making system based on the Elo system. The goal here would be to rank you based on your skill level. You would be matched with players of your caliber to see who is truly the best sniper ever! However, this concept brought a debate on the fact that 1v1 sniper is not a way to evaluate skill etc,etc. This is why my friend robin and I came up with a second idea for this 1v1 gamemode: players could manually challenge other players into 1v1 matches. This concept would be less competitive and more friendly avoiding the drama between players. So here's the deal, I want you to vote for which of these 2 game modes you want to be the one. VOTE ON THE POLL !!!!!!!

P.S: Every 1v1 games would be played on 3 maps, so best of 3.

2V2 tournament game mode
This gamemode would consist in organizing automatically 2v2 tournaments with great prize every week or so. There would be a page where you could sign up your team and enter your entry fee which would be (depending on the tournament of course) around 2-3 ref per player. Of course a trading bot would take care of tournament entries. This bot is still in progress but will be available for donations in about 1 week from today.

Clan scrims game mode
The final gamemode would consist in a whole section for clans. Every clan leader could register his clan to the database with a short description, then player interested in a clan could apply to it easily. Clan leaders would also sign up a scrim team line up of 6 players (4 usuals and 2 subs) and will be able to challenge other clans to a scrim by simply pressing a button. The opponent clan would have the choice to accept or decline the challenge.

I think that with a little bit of effort from everyone of us, we can make this project happen. If you are interested in helping me out with Coding the website or designing the website, I would GREATLY appreciate it.

For the 1v1 mode why not incorporate both. Where you will be able to challenge someone and still do it the elo style ranking. If you happen to beat someone by challenging them that is a high rank than you, then you will move up on the ladder.
 
for 1v1 is it mge or like "cgl" does it a regular map just 2 people
 
LOL absolutely O cover! best challenge ever XD I love that sound, cause people who hide in mge to jump out piss me off lol

LOL! yeah :D!, if that happends the real deal about people who 2nd scope and those who not will be notice by everyone. And hatred will arise again xD. Is something to think about.
 
Just make a map that is a box and throw 2 snipers in it to see who wins. Like dog fighting.
Problem with that is that A LOT of people, including me, will be complaining about Second shots, jukescopes and all that shit.
 
do like map 3 on mge but take a bit of the cover out.?
granary end or something its called but leave some in
 
Second shots only happens (1v1) when the one who shot first misses a moving target.

Edit: Is Cedde helping with the project?
 
Guys, keep in mind that this whole concept is centered on SvS, not mge.

Trust me people are going to be spectating 1v1 and I am pretty sure players are gonna get called out on second shot whores. Yes everyone does it, but there are always a few that wanna watch the world burn by constantly and deliberately playing that way.

In all seriousness it is not that bad to deal with when 1v1. What is annoying is when second shot whores are playing on a stronger team than you and you really do not have any choice but to shoot first and pay the consequences of missing because you are going to get picked off by someone you are not even looking at anyway because you are too busy jerking around with the "second shot whore" waiting for him/her to shoot first.

Hope there is a possible 1 more spot in administration, but if not I not gonna sweat it. I will just represent Sz.
WTF is a jukescope?

juke scope is they first scope.. so u ss.. then they unscope... so ur still scoped and they move and rescope then kill
 
The issue is, no matter what method you choose, people are going to either do the SS deed or complain about somebody else doing the deed. Especially now, considering how the mechanics have changed with that last sniper patch. So I would suggest not to keep a glorified dream of a SvS game where nobody complains. Snipers have a reputation for holding being grouchy and grumpy, and I doubt that'll change anytime soon.
And to the other complaint: 1v1 will never be accurate. It gives an estimation of where snipers are in terms of skill on a graph, but will never be able to compensate for all factors and variables that otherwise apply. Though there is no better way of doing it. And I think doing 3 matches for 2 snipers is stretching it a bit with time. I mean, this concept itself would take a fair amount of time to just get up and running. But I guess it also largely depends on how many players you're expecting to have in the tournament.

PS: I think pretty much everyone here secondscopes, fakescopes or jukescopes (or all together). To different degrees, of course. Though then again, the definition of secondscoping varies consistently from person to person. And when I look at the responses on this thread, most of us mention it lol
