Who: You and anybody else who reads this
What: Tuesday Maw Gathering
When: Oct 24th @ 7:00pm EST until whenever
Where: Bungie.net Maw server @ IP 8.2.0.184
Why: Because it so much more fun to kill people you know and laugh about it afterwards then to kill random noobs on public servers.

Maw Gatherings are when the members of these forums get together to wage mortal combat on the Maw server. Then we usually fill up this thread with our exploits and smacktalking. Now that my wireless network issue has been resolved I will be in attendence and recording the action with FRAPS. I will then make a movie using my new toy, Sony Vegas. Since that new toy has about a billion tools in it, it will take me a while to get the movie ready. I will post it in this thread when it is finished.
There is a Teamspeak server available for those that have microphones. The address is ts20.gameservers.com:8824. I really encourage this, several of the members here get on it and it enhances the enjoyment. If you have voice-activation set it towards shout so we don't hear every breath you take. The no foul language rule seems to go out the window when we get on teamspeak, and it usually sounds like a truck-driver convention in there. That really needs to stop, so everyone, myself included, needs to try to control your language when you are on TS.

Rules in brief:
No Intentional Teamkilling
Keep foul language, flaming and random off-topic chatting to a minimum
Keep flag, spawn and port camping to a minimum
Keep the vehicles out of the tunnels and bases
Have fun.

I cleaned out the server last week and the maplists with it, so I'm going to be building a new one with your help. Here are the map/gametypes that I have so far.
Blood Gulch NormCTF Human weapons(no rod) 2 hogs per side 3 flags
Hang'em High Plasmaparty 15-kill slayer covie weapons infinate stickies Hang'em High is the only map that can play the gametype without grabbing your computer, bending it over the desk and raping it mercilessly.
Danger Canyon Assualt human weapons no ghosts very fun.
Longest NSShot 25 kill shotgun slayer no shields timing is everything!
Death Island Race 15 laps team race shortrange weapons 16 hogs Dont walk or camp. Get in a hog and race.
Boardingaction 25 kill sniper slayer Shields or not?
Battle Creek Crazy King King of the Hill moving hill unsure of the weapon set.
Chiron-TL34 Classic Phantoms 10 kill slayer kill in order everybody is invis Challenging, frustrating but fun!

Give me ideas for other map/gametypes I'm going to use every map at least once. This map rotation will be used every Tuesday because I'm lazy and will not make up a rotation every week.

You don't mind if someone else with a fully-licensed version of Fraps and also has Vegas Video creates a bit on it as well? :P

Reality is just a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.

Make the BA sniper with shields and the BC King with pistols only, no nades. :)

Not at all, in fact if we both have footage of the same kill we can put it in split screen and show the kill from different angles. Of course it will probably take me a week to figure out how to do that.

New420 - I can't take nades off the map but I should be able to set it so you don't start with them.

I do have a suggestion though. Have you guys ever thought about doing a HCE gathering? You know, run a server cycle of voted custom maps?

that would be sweet, though it would have to be setup extra early so that everyone could dl the maps. also we would have to find a dedi to host it on.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

Danger Canyon Assault FTW!
I love that gametype!

Please, for the love of god, no 'human weapons only' games. TUI server sucked ass last week. Classic Weapons FTW!

My suggestion:
Map: Rat Race.
Gametype: Race (circuit).
Objective marker: Nav beacon.
Motion tracker: Off.
Weapons: Classic or Rifles. (Plasma Rifle FTW!!)
Shields: Hell yes.
Teams: Yes.
Health: 200%.
Inf Nades: Hell no.
Invisible players: Hell no.

I will be doing the same mapcycle for Thursdays as well so I will post my current mapcycle Wednesday to see if there is anything you guys want.

Otherwise due to work if I did make the gathering I would be there late. I mean like 10:30 est late and by that time I'm off to bed so sorry guys I will not be there unless we have REALLY crappy weather tomorrow.

I know how to put 2 clips in one sequence on Vegas. If you want Iggy I can help you out with that.

I should be at the gathering too.

You asked shields or not on Boarding Action, I vote not, but I might not even make it to the server.

OK the map rotation is set. I barely had any time to work on it as I would have liked so keep that in mind. I will work on it this week so it is ready to go next Tuesday.

Get rid of the 15 lap team race on death island and replace it with a 5 lap FFA race on Blood Gulch with all the same weapons settings....

OK good Gathering. I got a good amount of footage so I'll be going over that tomorrow to see what I can put into a movie. I still need to work on the gametypes, that Gephyrophobia CTF lasted forever. And I'm going to move the Crazy King to a map that allows no strating nades.

Lol. To my suprise, I was able to play at about the same level I always play.... I thought my cast was gonna be a pain in the ass, but it gave some lucky/bull-blam!- shots, so I can't complain...except for the spam nading. That's not gonna help you get better, going against an opponent with full shields is wayyyyyy different then going with an opponent whose being nade-"new"ed
