Rock2ober 2011

By OneManClan, on September 23rd, 2011

Men and women of Quake,

Every year, an attempt is made to gather ALL the remaining Quakeworld Team Fortress fans in the world in one place, at one time, to create the most massive game of rock2 EVER. We managed 26/32 in 2008 , we finally succeeded in 2009(!!!) and achieved 32/32, the biggest Q1 game for YEARS. We (almost) succeeded AGAIN in 2010, when 30 (?) players got to experience the power, the magic, the indescribable intensity of Rock2ober. Well get ready, because… the biggest TF game of the year is BACK!

Here’s this years amazing promo vid!!!:

Quakathon!!!

Was 2009 a fluke? Can it be done again? Can the amazing 32/32 AGR Megamatch be experienced in 2011..? Is the interest still there..? The dedication? The *passion*..? I say – YES!!! The amazing Weekly AGR Sessions, STILL occasionally attract 20+ players every week, and plenty of old skool players come out of retirement just to participate. Many new players have stumbled across our little gem, so 32/32 again IS possible!! Once again, I’ll need your help though. Once again, to achieve the target of 32/32, I’m reaching out to the wider world of TF players. Maybe some of you reading this play MegaTF, CTF, or TWCTF, but for an event this big, I KNOW all TF players will be interested. Don’t miss out on a rare opportunity to play in a 32 player game – get in early – or risk being told “server full”! YOU can help make this happen by spreading the word about Rock2ober 2011 to EVERY Quake player you know, current and retired. At least tell them to watch the ‘Rock2ober 2010’ vid on youtube.

“Ok, sounds awesome, but when is it?”

Rock2ober 2011 will be on:

Saturday 22nd October 2011

23:00 pm GMT/UTC

Click HERE to translate this (via Javascript) into your timezone! Note: If you’re in Europe, there’s a daylight savings happening on Sunday the 23rd, so CAREFUL please, double check your timezone here.

Now, check your schedule, and contact me at: I’ll send you a confirmation email. In fairness to those who register, this event will be ‘REGISTERED PLAYERS ACCESS ONLY’; those who miss out can still view the event via QTV (details to follow)! Get in quick, so you don’t miss out!

“Ok, but I don’t have Quake anymore, and don’t know / remember where to get the client!”. Go here.

“Ok, but I haven’t got CustomTF installed, where do I get the files?”. Go here.

“Ok, but I’m married now, and my wife doesn’t approve of me playing computer games.” Go here.

The version of Quake will be AGR, the same used in the Weekly AGR Session. For those not too familiar with Custom TF, you can still choose standard Quake1 Team Fortress classes, but you have the option (which most fans choose) to customise your class. If you’re a total newbie to CustomTF you should read the the wiki article which explains how CustomTF works. AGR is a modification of CustomTF coded to improve gameplay, increase teamwork. If you’re curious, come along to a Weekly AGR Session for a taste of intense, teamwork-oriented TF.

Let’s make this happen people. If you love Quake, and you crave BIG, team-orientated, action-packed games which leave you exhausted, and exhilarated, email me NOW and secure your place in this very very special event!

Looking forward to seeing you there,

OneManClan
