Old School

[Snowolf]

I have a tourney TAL approved for the "next" TAL season. But I have to start planning now. This tourney is "old" retired/forgotten members vs our "new" prime members. So I have been going around getting some retired or old forgotten members and bringing them back. (You see some posting, and some are waiting for the tourney before coming back.) If anyone knows some "old" members and how to contact them, please contact me.

The "Old School Team" is made up of people who have retired before 08 or who joined before 06. So anyone who join in 2004-2005 would be on the old school team as well. Also if there is someone from 06 and they are truly a vet and he can prove it he can get in as well.

The members that I have already brought back or have found to participate on the old school team are as follows:

1.Wolf-boy (Waiting for tourney)
2.Swordz (already back)
3.Red Fire (waiting for tourney)
4.Learz(Already here, but he fits required fields to play on the old school team)
5.Snork(Waiting for tourney)
6.Death of humans(Posts around a little still but did retire before 08.)
7.Justin Dishon(He is back already)
8.Hatchet Warrior(Signed up)
9.Dark Skull(signed up)
10.Lord Shinok(signed up)
11.Darkfire Phoenix(signed up)
12.bobo99(I think he signed up :D)
13.The AIDS Virus(Signed up)
14.Jonspen(Signed up)
15._Darkness_(signed up)
16.Clay(signed up)
17.2xfire(signed up)
18.Xeaglex(signed up)
19.Niveus(signed up)
20.The Butcher(Signed up)
21.Stupidcows(Signed up)
22. Abhimanu ( He proved to me he has been here before 04)
23. Plusminus (found him)
24. DIGIX (Signed up)
25. ~Slayer~
26. Zander
27. Silver Coast
28. ~Priest~
29. *T-M*
30. Skittle
31. The Professor?
32. Lost.boy
33. Angelic-Hotfox
34. Firebrand
35. *Sanosuke*

[kingedward]

Hmmm. Wonder if DL would be up for this. If I see him on MSN/AIM, I'll give you a holler, sno.

Anyways, I would tryout for the new team, if you are keeping track of that now.

[speaker4thedead]

Am I not old enough 4 ya, im still around.

[Lieutenant]

Hm, get the retired ones to come back, and you probably have a wonderful tournament. ;)

According to these rules...we're both noobs... have been for what? Three years.

Thank you Kingward. I need all the help I can get, this is going to be hard to run.

Lol no, you can still try out for the "New Prime Team" (I need a better name for this)

Meat mentioned something about someone trying to do this before but she agreed to TAL approve this for next TAL season.

So I am thinking that I will have to do a tourney to see who gets into the New Team. Or does anyone have a better suggestion?

[~ElVeN~BlOoD~]

a quick question.
do you mean joined forums before 05 or played the gaem before 05?
b/c if it is the forums one, i am a total nub.
but if it the other, then im an old fart. (started in 04)

:confused:ima confused:confused:

:rolleyes:

[mino]

I'm up for the new team.

[Hatchet Warrior]

ha, looks like I get to play with the old school guys.

[mino]

I just got a feeling the Vets are going to pwnzor all the new people. :dry:

[Nitanius Nolund]

If it's when you started playing TAO, I'd be on the vets team, as I started in November 2003. If it's forums, I'd be on the nubby team.

Good idea.

Sign me up for the old school team.

[Nitanius Nolund]

Wait, "thanks to Rabbi for finding him"? Lolz. I talk to carlos22 almost everyday on MSN. Same with Wayf.

[bobo99]

I started the game summer of '04 but joined the forums like a year later..

We are going to go by forum account so that there is no confusion.

I'm up for the new team.

You have to make it, I will be holding a tourney to see who gets on the new tam.

ha, looks like I get to play with the old school guys.

You make it on the old farts team :p

I just got a feeling the Vets are going to pwnzor all the new people. :dry:

Then that means you don't know much... :dry: Most of the vets are real rusty, I would have to place bets on the newbie team.

Nitanius I have to do the same for everyone, we are going to go by forum account so that there is no confusion.

Read what I told mino.

Good good, your in the old team as well.

See if you can get Wayf? to join please.

[Hatchet Warrior]

Sno, a bunch of old schoolers have forum accounts made in 05.

[Lord Shinok]

I started in April 15, 2004 (I know! I'm surprised I still remember the first day I started playing!). I never really retired, even though, I took a lot of long breaks. Sometimes short ones. I would like to sign up. :)

[Snowolf]

Sno, a bunch of old schoolers have forum accounts made in 05.

Fine I will give people from 05 a choice of what team they want to be on.

Okay.

[Sacred Silence]

New team...

[Zander]

What, no middle team? Most of us wouldn't fit in those two categories.

[Snowolf]

New Prime members, not the newbie members -.- we are going to have signups for the new members team, then those people will compete to make the team.

[DarkfirePhoenix]

Then that means you don't know much... :dry: Most of the vets are real rusty, I would have to place bets on the newbie team.


I would like to take you up on that bet.

We are going to go by forum account so that there is no confusion.

And I think this condition is awful. Even though I didn't make a forum account until '06, I played this game way back when there were no such thing as stats and they only looked at win/loss.

[Sacred Silence]

I would like to take you up on that bet.

I'd have to agree with snowolf on this one, with you on our team we're pretty set :P.

[Anarchy_United]

I am and always will be a noob.

Your so modest.

[~Priest~]

Yeah I tried this before, was a lot of fun. I'm with AU on being a noob.

[Niveus]

Im down for this. I'm gonna double check with carlos though i swear i thought he would never play again even if i won him 10 shrub avatars like he told me to. I ran into moose on legends a few days ago on my secret grey. So hes still kickin it. Maybe someone can get him.

[Snowolf]

Yes, please make sure. But Rabbi said he would do it.

[Niveus]

its a no from carlitos. For sure don't even bother with him anyone.

[Zander]

The only reason I'm going to sign up at all is that you have TAL approval for next season. Put me on this list, I'm not playing for the new team.
I've been playing since '05, here's my join date for the AL forums.

I'll vouch for Zander if that's not enough. Put me in with vets.

[Lord Shinok]

Whoa, whoa...I honestly don't consider Zander as an old schooler. Especially those who joined in the very late 05'. No offense to Zander, though.

[Zander]

I don't either, but I don't consider myself in the same category as... well, Snowolf. That's why I posted my complaint about there not being any middle group.

So I'm good... early '05?

[†Tao Veteran†]

its a no from carlitos. For sure don't even bother with him anyone.

What are you talking about? I was just talking to him yesterday and he said he wasn'tr sure, he might decide to show up for the tourny.

[shurtugal]

noob question, but was snork any good?
And is carloss even good? He gave his acc away to around 3 people when he left.

[Hatchet Warrior]

Shurt, carlos was one of the users of glad and rantzu.

[shurtugal]

Never actually played him, and as he rarely posts, he doesn't have too many wins on these forums.

[Pxndx]

new team

[Hatchet Warrior]

Never actually played him, and as he rarely posts, he doesn't have too many wins on these forums.

He does have too many wins yet he's 1800+ on every server?
He's retired now and didn't post much anyways.

[clay]

Hmm I'm a bit rusty, but I'll try for the old team.

[Lord Shinok]

He does have too many wins yet he's 1800+ on every server?

Rantzu played most of the games on all three accounts. Bodexxx and Bullcat0 too.

FPS started on November 2003, right?

I'm thinking that if anyone started playing between November 2003 to March 2005 are old schoolers and past that are newbies. How does this sounds?

[Niveus]

eh i dont know the whole story about rant and glad they kept that pretty dl. But i do know at one point it was only 2 ppl. Carlos isnt going to play im probably one of the only people he talks to still. FTW he wont train with me which i never offer to anyone and he wont be good enough to play in the tourney without training. Rabbi i asked him he said you mentioned it to him. Hes not going to play trust me. So any word on moose?

[clay]

When are there gonna be vet try-outs? I see the new team thread but no old timers team?

[_Darkness_]

I might be joining this. I will try and talk to some of the old players to see if they are interested in joining as well. I will probably only join if I see lots of old faces.
same here, but I'm in for nub team, all you nubs are gonna need some help.
...
SHUT
UP

[Lord Shinok]

Darkness, you can't join. You're still a newbie. :)

[Blexican]

ill sign up if its dropless grey. if any kind of gold. then naw.

[Jonspen]

Can I play for teh Old School? >.>

Yeah I am sorry, December 05 is just about 06 and I think that is a little late for the vets team.

I don't either, but I don't consider myself in the same category as... well, Snowolf. That's why I posted my complaint about there not being any middle group.

First, I doubt I will even make it on the team -.- Second this is not a NEWBIE team, its a new prime team.

So I'm good... early '05?
Gotcha

I like the Idea but I am making it from 03-July 05

When are there gonna be vet try-outs? I see the new team thread but no old timers team?

All vets make it unless we have more vets sign up than we do new prime's sign up. I just have sign ups for the new team because I expect a lot to sign up for that.

I might be joining this. I will try and talk to some of the old players to see if they are interested in joining as well. I will probably only join if I see lots of old faces.


Yes your in and thank you for your help darkness.

ill sign up if its dropless grey. if any kind of gold. then naw.
You play your own style.

Can I play for teh Old School? >.>

Yup I got you.

[The Butcher]

<-- old school team

[StupidCows]

Sign me up for the Old School! Started Nov '04

[Niveus]

Clay, Darkness, you guys gotta join. We will pwn!! I'm not sure but i think darkness and taymed are 05 players if so ill get them to join. Legends darkness btw. Snowolf you still haven't added me to the roster.

[Xiahou Dun]

Hahaha. 05 is old School now? : D

[Zander]

I didn't start playing in december of '05, that was the earliest join-date I could prove. Just take me off any sign-up list you've made.

[xEaglex]

I am technically an old schooler, so I suppose I'll sign up for that team.

I am really active now though, so if you'd rather have me on the new team I'd do that as well.

[2xfire]

<---vet

[~Priest~]

what? 2005 is old school? Newbies won't stand a chance then...

[ExpectDeath]

Priest and Eagle play on the noob's team with me.

I'll sign up for the new team.

[bobo99]

Yes, I signed up.

[Snowolf]

edit: nm

[Yogurt55]

I will signup

[StupidCows]

Why did you put me as "flyingcows"?

[Snowolf]

Sorry ^^. Yogurt I put you on the New Prime Team.

I want to get 30 members on each team

[Take a Look]

I would like to see Plumsinus post here, before i believe that he's back.

[DIGIX]

I joined in 05, put me down. :]

[shurtugal]

ehhh... sign me up, I signed up on first page.

[Jonspen]

Shurt, you're not old school.

[Snowolf]

I would like to see Plumsinus post here, before i believe that he's back.

My PM with Plusminus:
I want you to participate.

Oh, haha. I'll think about it. Is there a thread with the details yet?

yes just search for the thread Old school

1) Are games gold-only? I don't have a gold account anymore, and don't plan on getting one again.

2) When do you need a definite yes or no?

1) I will let you use my gold on rev

2) Asap

Well what the hell, I'll tentatively say yes. I'm not going to say I'll be there for sure until you have an exact date for the tournament, though.



ehhh... sign me up, I signed up on first page.

I put you down for the newbie team.

[~SlayeR~]

Put me on the Oldies team.. I'll play if I'm still around.

[Zander]

You piece of poo, put me on this team.

Your face.

I shant remember him. :/

[Skittle]

ill sign up for old school :P. abhi isnt old school >.>

[Snowolf]

abhi proved it to me, now you must prove to me your old school.

[Zander]

abhi proved it to me, now you must prove to me your old school.
This seems a little... wrong,to me. Somebody else(someone that's been here longer, I mean) should be deciding who is to try out for this team, while you take care of the "newer" team.

[Jonspen]

oooooooo

pick me

[bobo99]

Ya, that would have been a good idea. Have a vet run the old school section so they could clarify if the person was/wasn't here at that time.

[Lost.Boy]

Ill join.

[The Professor?]

I'm in.

[Angelic-Hotfox]

I wanna play!

and someone try and get a hold of Twelve, that'd be sweet.
Sul4 aka dragoonzrfuns also posted a few days ago so see if he wants to play.

[FiReBrAnD]

Old school for the pwn.

Sign me up.

I think the world has been alot better place without twelve here... lets just keep it this way ;)

Isn't shinnok enough of a pain in the ass?

EDIT: I did see orlandy on rev the other day.. although i doubt he'd be allowed to participate in anything lol

[*Sanosuke*]

*signs up*

[Snowolf]

Okay... I really need more members to sign up for the newbie team. If I can get 35 members on the new prime team then that is a total of 70 players.

[Jonspen]

Would of been easier if you had one signup thread, then assigned people to the teams at the time.

[Snowolf]

Naw, then I would get confused who is on new and old.

[StupidCows]

You'd probably get more people to sign up if the thread wasn't called "Newbie team"

[Lost.Boy]

heh Snowolf first you have to make the distinction of who your considering old school like when the joined that would be alot easyier to just place someone on a team.

[Snowolf]

Lost.boy, I do its on the first post.

[BrownGuy]

add me to the list.

[Snowolf]

Brownguy your on the new prime team.

[Snowolf]

Well I will be leaving Friday, so HW will be running this tourney.

[StupidCows]

Is it actually going to happen, or be poop until next season?

[Snowolf]

It will actually happen. It is for next TAL season though.

[Hatchet Warrior]

Alright, as you ladies have seen I will be filling in for sno as he is going on his trip and has asked me to cover for him. Keep the sign ups coming in and this looks like it'll be a fun start for next season.

[Snowolf]

Okay, well it looks as if HW has it all under control.

Ummm you might have to make a thread of your own though, just copy everything here though.

[Hatchet Warrior]

Nah, i'll keep this thread. No need for a new one, i'm just going to write down both lists and add to them.

[clay]

Wow, the vet team looks crazy tough.

[StupidCows]

That's because the bad players don't become vets.

[Inc. Inc.]

Sign me up, i like it
<< noob team

[Hatchet Warrior]

Noobs, sign up in the noob team thread. It'll make life a little easier -_-

[clay]

Where is that thread. I wanna see who we get to destroy =D

EDIT; Nevermind I found it -.-

[HorNeT]

I'm in.

[xEaglex]

Just a suggestion:

Maybe keep the people who are borderline between old school and new in a separate group. Then, you can use these borderline people to help balance the skill level between teams?

[clay]

I suggested something like this, but spenny shut that down really quick lol

I like this idea

:allok:

[Hatchet Warrior]

Clay had already suggested that, and I had thought about it. The thing is, most of the players on the old school team havn't played since their retirement. This gives an advantage to the noob team, at least for now that is.

I hate being one of those technical, omg, I can pull up my first forum acc guys, but my original forum was May 05, and although I definantly don't consider myself a vet, I would be more then happy to play on vets side if there's either a shortage, or something like un-even skill... because you know, I'd SOOO tip the weight of the teams, I mean I'm just THAT good :p

For real though, I doubt I'd even make vet grey team ;)

[The AIDS Virus]

For real though, I doubt I'd even make vet grey team ;)
