I'm glad the topic of http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/5442-who-pioneered-6s-in-tf2 sparked some interest for newer player and maybe brought a bit of nostalgia for the vets of tf2. with that being said i was thinking of organizing (with tons of help + support of course) and oldschool tournament (name pending).
I feel like it would be a fun project for a lot of people, maybe sometime in the near future fully charged can have a topic of discussion about the history of comp tf2 with how 6s started, some of the very first players to get into it, also some special guests that haven't been around in a while (or are back now I.E fragile etc), pull some of those oldschool heads out of retirement for a night that would be fun for some people if they're willing of course ;) and a great way to present this idea and get more people interested. increasing the level of involvement and promoting it well to make things go over a lot smoother.
basically the gist of this: a tournament with the original rule set whether it would be 7v7 or 8v8, the first maps to be played, no new unlocks, basically revisiting the origin of how tf2 was first played in a competitive environment before 6v6 was even made. maybe have a combination of some of the original players that were around then with some newer players now.
i know nahanni has successfully organized a lot of tournaments in the past with the pubbers vs pros events, and if she is interested or has the time to do so maybe she can get involved in this idea as well. i feel like this would be best for after LAN because right now people are really busy with getting ready since playoffs are right around the corner for everyone. as well as ETS next weekend ! so with that being said tell me what you guys think of this. throw some ideas out there and gimme some feedback !

Sounds like a lot of fun! Will surely bring back the memories of playing back in the day. I hope this happens, I'm sure lots of people will be interested!
I still remember roaming without gunboats haha

this sounds really fun, especially for players like me who weren't there when comp tf2 was still in its infancy.

yeah browny you got the right idea, all the little things that were around back then like crits/random spread as well. im talking about the absolute core of everything that was allowed then. obviously vanilla would play into the factor but i think this will be that much more fun with all the original ruleset/maps etc

If you want to ask Nahanni to organize this, it will probably have to be later on. I would say the next couple months? She's pretty busy with organizing something else. I'm all for an old school tourny though, I'm sure someone else would be willing to organize it

I'm almost 100% sure that I have my old drive drive from my first build computer, I just have to find it. I stopped using this computer like 3 months after the beta launch, so I should still have the original maps.
I'm not sure if I still have defy on my friends list, but tomorrow I'll add you.

I would love to see BUICK on a fully charged!

Sounds Awesome!! I am up for helping out. I would suggest though waiting till after community vs pros please. We usually run it two weeks after lan for the same reasons mentioned above. As soon as ESEA gives us a date on LAN, announcements about CVP will be brought forward! I would suggest that when we bring the oldies back that we go "VANILLA" (best flavour of ice cream in the world by the way) I would love to help out.....what a great idea! <3

Ok, there is a lot of things that we would have to do in order to make it like when it first came out. Does anyone know of a way to downgrade to an earlier version, server side too?
I think a couple of things will get us in trouble like;
1) Does anyone remember what the old self damage was from shooting the ground as a solly? I think it was 10-15, right?
2) I completely forgot that rollers would also hit on hit models, how do we fix that?
3) When was the FOV changed? I know the first season I used 75, but I was also stubborn and refused to use the fast pistol script to the "idea" of the game. I was so young and stupid, lol
4) Crits were soo weird back then, and little knowledge was known about when they triggered. This may be incorrect, but I remember a shit ton of mis-information about them until like 3 months after the game was out of beta.
5) If I find this HHD, I can just change the name of the map to, like, ctf_well_old and it will stay intact, correct?
6) Going with 5, wouldn't all of us have to have the exact same version of the game that goes with the server?
I know there is more, but I will start with those.

I think most of the stuff that you said are completely correct, but I swear that I played some comp while the self damage was quite limited. Granted this was quite a bit ago and I could be incorrect, but I really feel this was a hot-topic when it was started.
PS- for those of you that don't know, Valve actually listened to us, albeit slow, but at least listened.

There were a few updates that completely changed rocket/sticky jumping (though you took more damage). The fixed it most of the time. Also, gunboats used to be 75% damage reduction, which was about 10-15 damage a rocket jump.
I'm talking about like 2-3 months after launch, maybe we're not talking about the same time?

I'm fairly sure everything mentioned so far can be easily implemented server-side. I wasn't around when comp TF2 started, but I can help with modding if that's needed. Should be very fun to watch!
