Hey, guys!
We're thinking about having a friendly(ish) football match during Fanfest. Before we can nail this down, however, we need to know if we can get enough players to sign up for it. Let us know in the comments if you'd be interested in playing, and what you'd like to see in an event like this.
11 vs 11? Smaller scale? We're still very much open to ideas!

This would be soccer, and we are aiming towards booking a full size indoor AstroTurf pitch.

Streaming it may be hard since it will most likely take place on the Thursday, March 19th, and will be pretty far from the actual venue. We will look into it, though. We will at the very least record it, and show the highlights. This only happens, however, if we can validate the idea with interest through this thread

I just need to know before hand so I can make sure to pack my cleats and goalie gloves, if anyone else more amazing in goal doesn't volunteer first. I used to be a pretty decent keeper, then I blew out 1 shoulder during a game, couple years later ended up tearing some ligaments in the other shoulder and had surgery, so not as good and quick as I was in my younger years but definitely hoping this happens as it could be a lot of fun.
I was thinking about trying to do some hiking, but then realized there might still be a lot of snow still around. So packing everything into a single carry on might be a bit more of a challenge now.
And I can get my brother to play too, occasionally I will sucker him into playing on my Friday night indoor league when we are going to be short on players or have no subs... shoot, almost forgot, game in 2 hours. Thanks for reminding me random dev video I just watched.
Yes, bring cleats and whatever gear you need for a game! This goes for everyone that is interested! We will be making efforts to make sure that this reaches as many as possible before they arrive in Iceland so that we can have at least 20 players with gear ready to sign up on the opening day. We are hoping to have it full size with unlimited subs, but we will adapt depending on signups and general preference.

We'll probably get some shirts printed so we actually have teams, not just some random bunch of people running around :)

Also im guessing this would be taking place on the thursday evening as well, when all off the smaller events are goin on ( I was at the Karioke night last year :p )
And if you start on the beers/shots/drinking, you cant really play again, you just want to get hammered :D
Time has not been decided yet, but I would like it to be before the heavy drinking starts! Early afternoon perhaps.

I would like to point out that the devs have an unfair advantage as they can reduce the actions taking place on the field to a rule-based sequence and then simply run a batch file in an infinite loop.
CCP Karkur should knit one of her delightful hats to be given away to the last-standing EVE capsuleer [non-dev].
I second that. One knitted hat for the Capsuleer player of the game.

There will most definitely be parking. The beer, however, may need to stay outside since a lot of these arenas don't allow alcohol. I'm still working on the arena, but will post updates as soon as we have nailed stuff down.

We may need to have this on Tuesday that week. That would be March 17th(St Patrick's Day) from 8pm to 10pm. Any objections to that? Will anyone miss out due to not arriving before then?
Also, what are your thoughts regarding the size of the field, and number of players? Some seem to think that a full size game will require too much running, and a high fitness level. Personally I think with unlimited subs, and good formation based positioning, it won't be too bad.

Yes! We have a believer! I completely agree, and I think 11v11 will look more presentable. This will be in the news and stuff.
As to the team's coordination, perhaps we need someone to step forward as captain, and start an in-game chat channel. How about it, progodlegend? Rally the troops?

This is awesome! We were planning on getting some blank shirts for the players team, but if someone wants to take charge there and print out something awesome, feel free to! Just have them on the lighter side, and also please let us know :)
As to referees, we'll be having 1 referee, and two linesmen.

There is one matter concerning kits for the Capsuleers team. Does anyone have any ideas regarding that? If anyone wants to take charge with that they are more than welcome to. If not, we will likely get some Dry Fit sports shirts, but nothing fancy.

Since you're a goalie I doubt shin guards will be necessary, unless you play like Neuer and cover defense as well. We're also providing you with a keeper jersey which should take care of the turf burn risk ;)

Dangeresque Too wrote:Oh, I also meant to ask, what color are the jerseys going to be? Hate to wearing complete clashing shorts/socks and look like a tool. Because looking like you know what you are doing is way more important as we all know :)
Due to the logos we have for the players team the shirts will most likely be white or light grey. As an effort to look better as a team I'd encourage everyone to do their best in securing white shorts to match, as we'll only be providing the tops.
Perhaps this is something you guys can discuss with your team organizer :)

The keeper jerseys can be a different color if you want. Just not Yellow or Black. Just let me know if you prefer a certain color.

Red, orange, and green appear to be the only colors available. If you have your heart set on a different color I can pursue it, but it would be nice if you could name one of those three as plan B :)

Just a little update. The most voted on name as I was getting the tops ready was Ballgorns. The wonderful logo was designed by Rixx Javix. It was only fitting that the players' team logo was designed by a player.
As the order had to be put in, I got a list of sizes from Jon, your wonderful team organizer. As such, it is a bit late to sign up, as there won't be any spare tops. If you are interested in playing feel free to be at the CCP office around 6pm, as there may be some last minute cancellations to free up a shirt. If that happens it would obviously be great to have stand ins.
The tops are white, so please try to acquire some white shorts or pants to match. It's not imperative, but would look a lot nicer if you guys didn't wear mismatched shorts/pants :)
Now, this is the important bit! PLEASE BE AT THE CCP OFFICE WELL BEFORE 7pm. I'll have a little signup sheet to get people in, and we'll leave as soon as all players are on board the bus, and this will preferably be before 7pm so we have some warmup time.
There will be other buses for more players, as well as buses for devs. We'll do our best to fill the stands!
If you can, please spread the word. The more players show up = the more fun we'll have!
ANNOUNCEMENT:
The players' team is being financially sponsored by our wonderful CCP Customer Support department. Bringing "customer support" to a whole new level. Spread the word on that as well, so the GMs can feel the love!

So i might arrive just prior 7pm.
Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully it leaves plenty of time :) Would be nice to know how many players are arriving the day of the match. I imagine there's a lot of Fanfest attendees arriving on the 4:30 european flight.

We're even thinking about getting transport for spectators, if there is demand for it :) With this thread saying 'should be fine' and the newest one stating bus is full...my request for "wives" to join us on the players bus...this still OK/Accurate? If i understand correctly there is a players bus leaving at 1830 and a spectators bus leaving at 1900?
Seek me out at the office around 18:30, and I'll figure something out. We only had a limited amount of seats for the bus, and needed signups to keep it civilized. We won't, however, leave the players' spouses behind :)

Just a quick note: Please be sober for this game. You won't be allowed to play if you appear to be too intoxicated!
Also, we'd appreciate immediate updates if there are any delays in flights that may interfere with this game. There should be wifi in aiports/planes these days

We do not want anybody getting injured and there is more than enough time after the game and during the week to get drunk.
We have set something up at the Lebowski Bar. That's where we'll be going after the game :)

Dangeresque Too wrote:Thanks again Puck for throwing this together.
My knees are still recovering and its looking like I didn't break my finger on one of the few half decent saves I managed to pull off. But I sure helped give a couple of devs some pretty impressive highlights on a few shots when I picked the wrong choice of the 2 I had available.
And hopefully the Dev with the short spikey gray hair isn't too upset for me taking him out right after I took over goal.
Sorta bummed the player jerseys didn't have names or numbers like the devs, and my bro didn't get one because we were a few minutes late. Thanks Shimozu for starting the game and giving it your best.
Can't wait for the highlight for the game :) except the hotel internets can't stream very well.
Regarding the lack of names, that was intended. Simply because we couldn't guarantee that everyone would actually show up, and it would be a waste of a perfectly good shirt if that happened. As to the numbers missing, that was on me. I just assumed that the printers would assign random numbers to those shirts, seeing as I didn't provide any specifics, but they didn't. It was up to me to make sure there was no misunderstanding, and I failed to do that. Sorry.
If we do this again, it would be best if the team could secure its own named shirts. Each unit would be pretty cheap, so it's not too much to ask, and that way you could design them from scratch, and not have some lame dev like me do it. It also just looks much better to have names on the back.

Facebook album
It should be accessible by everyone since the album was made public. I do have the source footage from the game, and will be exploring options to get it out there.

You did manage to spoil my 80 yard glory run. Shot was deflected by you into the post. I have video evidence now that supports my claim of there being a corner after that attempt!
Anyway, best of luck with the job search, and sincere thanks for coming out and playing. Sorry about the northern lights :(

Hey guys. Sorry about the delay, didn't have the thread notifying me anymore. Basically there's been no development with the footage, so sorry about that as well :P I know I promised stuff and whatnot, but to be honest this doesn't really qualify as a high priority project.
The camera operator was quite actively stopping and restarting the recording, so the game is split into dozens of separate media files. This means that someone would have to cut them together before anything could be done with it. Also, it wouldn't look seamless due to the missing parts.
If someone wants to play around with the footage we could look into options of getting it to you. It's about 13 gigs I believe, which would be a pain in the ass to transfer through interwebs. :P
