Can you tell me why/how woop holds the frag fest?

Why - for fun, of course. How - we gather and play. We like to spark more interest in both the Sauerbraten and AssaultCube communities, most of the games done by other groups are region and clan-specific.

We want to make sure that everyone gets an equal share of fun, not just the Europeans, recruiting some more players into communities is an added bonus.

What, if any, measures have been taken to make sure this fest goes more smoothly?

Well, some people will be given passwords, any cheaters/crackers will get iptables-banned at the server level. All fests are demo recorded, and we will be trying to get 2 or 3 servers for the event, as the last fest had almost 20 people per server, we hope to get that down to around 12 for smoother and more fun gameplay.

We expect it to be alot of fun mainly, and fairly issue-free.

What can others do to help Woop make this the best frag fest it can be?

One thing that people can do is turn up in the Woop channel and participate in the discussion on the Woop website. Needless to say, simply turning up to the event is the best thing people can do. Also, other clans are more than welcome to join in.

Is there anything else you'd like people to know?

I think that the christmas-fest will be more of a clan based competition, we also aim to help create other clans/communities, not just expand ours.

A competitive environment is always good and we encourage that.
