    Unsure whether to offer myself up for casting or whether to compete. Would losing a game here mean forfeiting my current 100% win rate on Exodus? :p

    I know right? I don't know about elsewhere, but in the realm TS, we have a fair bit of people looking for teammates before they join, so I'm just waiting for them to hurry up :p

    Here are my map ideas.

    Four Fires V1
    A map I made with 4 small balanced lava planets orbiting a metal planet.
    On the Default Server on the System Sharing Mod

    emraldis made a map with 4 starting moons orbiting a gas giant and 4 small moons in an outer orbit of the gas giant. We should use that map as well.

    I also Like
    PAX Prime 2014.
    The games are really intense with the Orbital Warfare Mod.

    We should also have a map where everyone starts on a single large planet. Any good ideas for that?

    I'm not sure how well pax prime will work on a 2v2v2v2, though tripod has sent us a great map as well.

    If anyone wants to see how orbital warfare overhaul mod plays, I am currently test streaming the mod, in the tournament format and on a tournament system. Feel free to check it out! http://www.twitch.tv/emraldis

    Looks like you've got 4 full teams of two signed up, but I'd love to see a few more participants in this.

    I see complaints on these forums all the time about how stale orbital gameplay is and in my opinion this mod covers a lot of ground that I think Uber would do well to take as a basis for making vanilla orbital more fun.

    These guys have put their money where their mouth is and made a really polished and enjoyable mod here - it'd be great if the community gave this tournament a decent look-in because this is the sort of stuff we should be encouraging when discussing changes to the game itself.

    Also, I'd like to see some of the PAG guys actually give orbital a go, for once :p

    Quick summary of the mod for the uninitiated:

    But if they did, we would actually have some competition in the next clan wars! The horror!

    On the subject of maps, I'll drop some pics of the one I made especially for this tournament. It will probably be the largest in the tourney. Never fear - if my toaster can run it, so can yours.

    That sounds like a gauntlet-throw if ever I heard one.
