The Hive Games

[Shar Dundred]

Proud people of The Hive Workshop,

today is the day, it's time for the ultimate disaster, I mean multiplayer fun!

When my good friend StoPCampinGn00b asked me what one could do with this wonderful new forum, the first thing that came to my mind was: Wouldn't it be an AWESOME idea to create something that'll make those who enjoy multiplayer on this site stick together? Yes, there's the funmap evening sometimes, sure, but how about something that runs more... spontaneously? And then an idea hit my mind: The Hive Games!
Members of the Hive gather here, either spontaneously or after some talk and blablabla, to play games together, it doesn't matter if they play maps from the Hive or not, or if they just test a map. It's all for fun, perhaps we can even get SCN to stream the thing from time to time.

Enjoy!

But I don't stream, lol. I announced a stream for my friend twitch.tv/KiraDuskEdge twice, though.

 

[Chaosy]

So.. it's a thread for playing custom maps together?

You wanted to support multiplayer activity, right? Isn't that why the forum here was created in the very first place? Then learn how to stream and stream yourself in the name of Hive! I wanna see you suffer stream! >

Yes.

everything said here applies to you as well. why don't you stream?

 

[Shar Dundred]

why don't you stream?

You mean besides having an awful, bitchy internet connection and being kept busy most of the day at work unlike other here who study or go to school and have therefore much more time?

My post was not to be taken serious anyway, SCN knew that.

I feel accurately described.

i hope so, because to me suggesting on SCN's behalf to stream was rude unless you and him are buddies and i'm missing context. that's why i thought i'd give you a lil taste of your own meds.

I can fully understand your position, but I assure you it wasn't any serious (would be fun to watch but I'm not suggesting anyone to do something, people have to do such suggessions themselves, I'm in no position to do that).


I created this thread to support him supporting multiplayer activity. And perhaps to play a game or two once in a year.

@Chaosy: Too bad you're lazy as hell. ;p

fair enough. i support your support of him supporting multiplayer activity

 

[WhiteFang]

I'm game.(to play,not stream)

 

[Shar Dundred]

If we were to play a game today (9 - 10 hours from this posts time on) who'd want to join?

 

[WhiteFang]

I will

 

[Chaosy]

Highly depends on the map.

 

[Shar Dundred]

I was thinking we might want to Start with a melee or short map to gather. But feel free to suggest something.

 

[Wietlol]

"melee" *bleh*

In any case, I was more thinking of the Hunger Games when I heard the title...
I guess I have to be disappointed again -_-

Alright guys, the first game is UP!

The Hive Games

Feel free to join!

Game had to be re-opened and is up running again.

 

[Elprede]

Is the game over yet?

 

[Shar Dundred]

Yes, next one has been started.

 

[Shar Dundred]

Wel, that's it for today. Has been quite fun.

Until next time, guys! Feel free to host your own Hive Games here as well!

Dota of course. Nothing causes rage like a good ol' dota 1. Also causes you to lose your friends, but who needs friends when you got dota right?

I want to expand on this idea with a hive tournament.
The base concept:

There are ALOT of maps posted on hive and I doubt more than 40% of them are played or even tried out.
People just stick to what they like and they ignore the rest. Not saying it should be different, it shouldn't. But a hive
tournament where at the start of every week a random map from the gynormous map pool is selected
and people have a week to learn / play / master that map. At the end of the week (Saturday, Sunday) when most people are
available, we host a tournament where people play the map.

Winners get shiny gems (rep). After that the process begins anew, with a new random map!

I think that my idea is kind of cool. It also pushes people out of their comfort zone (myself included) to try and play
maps that they wouldn't on their own, but when the herd mentality kicks in, you go with the flow. Also, lot of maps
on hive are underplayed or played by specific groups of people. Not saying that EVERYONE will join every tournament
week, but people might give it a go, especially if its "official" kind of thing where you're rewarded with rep and participate
with people from the same forum you're active in.

I will end my idea with: Random is fun

You can get people who have youtube channels about w3 that can stream, probably not every night, but sometimes.

 

[MrHobby53]

even if i'm a low level player and hive user i'm in :3

 

[Heaven Editor]

This is all good things happening in THW. Great idea from sentrywiz. If someone stream, tell me.
