Anniversary Bash 17

[FireSworD]

This is the official topic for AB17.

No one is organizing it yet, but Blackraptor and I potentially will. What are everyone's thoughts on that?

[Jelly Jam]

Heck, It's gonna be awesome (y)

[Primpy]

So, what's an Anniversary Bash?

Sounds nice.

[Skulg]

Sweet! I think this is awesome.

[ShadowGPW]

I haven't attended one in a while.
Can't wait!

[Love & Thunder]

Looking forward to it! :)

Will mouse aiming be on this year?

[Borgia]

April 9th, eh? For three days? Right in the exam period...oh well, I guess there is some time to spare for a Bash. I mean, I've never participated in one before, so I'm quite curious as to what it will be like.

[Slaz]

I will attend, as always. And this time I might take some more screenshots. :p

How come you weren't in last year's bash? We started playing online about at the same time.

[Borgia]

How come you weren't in last year's bash? We started playing online about at the same time.

I started playing online in May of 2013 (around the 16th), so I missed that year's Bash. Why I didn't attend the one of 2014? Well, most likely because I had no knowledge of it at the time :). I'm sure I could haven been aware of it, for I made an account on jazzjackrabbit.net in August 2013. However, as you know, my account here didn't come into being until December 12th of last year.

And I didn't really spend much time on Jazz2Online either, that changed when I started uploading my levels. However, I did have an account since February 2014....

Complicated :P. Bottom line is: I just didn't know and didn't bother to look for anything.

[SAMI]

Cool. I'm interested to attend this aswelll. But there are possibilities that my exam may start in April. I just hope it (exam) wont start during this period. Cause during exams I can't play PC [ Of course I can, but I'll end up getting F grade as its the only day when I start studying :P]

Edit: 90% chance of exam to start at this time. F□□king hell D:

Edit: Okay, exam already started and it will end before 20 March. So I'm in.

[Stijn]

While I don't necessarily agree with cooba here, Primpy, how about using the search function before asking questions like this. We're not your personal FAQ service.

[DoubleGJ]

I'm in!

[Treylina]

I'll be in. I hope to finish a battle (a bigger one) and a ctf level in time for it, at least.

[FireSworD]

Blackraptor and I are currently in charge of the organization of AB17. If anyone has a problem with this arrangement, please let it be known.

[ShadowGPW]

Nope!

[cooba]

Just saying, if FireSworD's idea of the AB17 list is including example levels for tilesets from 2009 (http://www.jazz2online.com/downloads/files/14684/aftermathexc.j2l/info/), then my expectations for this bash are very low.

[FireSworD]

We need to have the finished and/or latest versions of the levels to assemble the lists. It's important to make these levels available to us soon, preferably a week or two before the bash.

Also, who's up for hosting the bash?

[snzspeed]

I have a level ready soon. Made esp bash in mind! :)

[Loon]

^..

[Talec]

y'all seem kind of grumpy this year but I had an idea for a level, drew it out and will see about making it before the bash

[Slaz]

At least it'll be a bash full of oldies, or so it seems. WB Talec! ;)

[FireSworD]

The deadline for potential AB17 levels to be finished and released to us is April 4th; Any levels released/finished afterwards will not be added to the lists. I will reveal the lists here soon after that date.

[Talec]

Thanks!

[cooba]

The deadline is far too harsh and will prevent a lot of otherwise nearly-done levels from being listed. I have a CTF heavily reliant on the next release of JJ2+, which is imminent but not within the deadline.

I understand you want to avoid a situation where levels are finished hours before the servers go up but a week of lockdown is draconian. You definitely do not need a week to test a pack.

Seconding this. I'd much rather have a little extra time to finish the EC in my level so I don't need to rush it. It's not like the level can't be tested anyway, as nothing is fundamentally going to change after this is done.

Thirded. I'm getting sleepy and I really don't think I can finish the EC of my remaining three levels right now. I cancelled two levels (that were meant to be finished for the bash) already.

[FireSworD]

New deadline: April 8th. No more extensions.

Kyro will likely host the bash.

AB17 should start on Friday the 10th. I'll reveal more details later.

[cooba]

I've contacted BlurredD, and chances are that Irish Beatdown will become the bash server.

[FireSworD]

Discuss hosting with BR and/or I please.

[cooba]

I would have, but it's easier to contact BlurredD than either of you.

[Slaz]

Whoever hosts it, I'm looking forward to play it! I had suggested Pool Party as one of the maps to Blacky, as it was one of my favs during events last JDC.

[Jelly Jam]

Why yes, pool party was the blast! We will deffinetly have fun at the bash :).

[FireSworD]

The deadline has passed. Thanks to everyone who made levels in time for AB17! - I will reveal the lists here soon, but a lot needs to be tested.

The hosting situation needs to be resolved soon. If Blur hosts, I'd like to have Kyro as backup at least.

[Talec]

Inability to focus hit me hard ;_; I'm sorry. NEXT YEAR and I'll have time to polish this mofo

Before I upload the packs to j2o, I at least need to get a better version of The Cauldron and a certain music file. It really helps to test levels, phew.

Blur is going to host the bash, unless something prevents that. Kyro is backup.

[ShadowGPW]

Wow, 3 times this year.. i'm like.. uberly honored. Motivates me to build more :)

Thank you so much.

I take offense to this reference! *very angry face.jpg*

[FireSworD]

Haha, I didn't intend that to be honest.

[DarkSonic]

I found two:

8 Acht
15 Pinball Arena 2k15

Pretty good lists in my opinion. Not that much 'filler', some good classics in there too :)

[cooba]

my expectations for this bash are very low.Well, I'm an asshole. This is an awesome list (my level or not)!

[snzspeed]

Oh and nice lists! I have no complaints. :D

[PT32]

Awesome, what time does the Bash begin? I'm super-excited to play this year :D

[blurredd]

I started the bash server. I won't be around for a bit since I need to go to work, but I did give others remote admin access.

[FireSworD]

How did everyone enjoy AB17?

[XxMoNsTeRXM]

How did everyone enjoy AB17?
It was cool!

[Primpy]

How did everyone enjoy AB17?

Very nice! 8D

[Obi1mcd]

Didn't hang around for very much of it but it was fun nonetheless!

[Slaz]

How did everyone enjoy AB17?

I played for several hours during the Bash. I got to say, the first day was the best (with most activity), 2nd day was alright, 3rd day felt more like a barrage of Plus 5.0 feature testing but was fun enough in it's own right.

At least a few oldies came and played on Friday. :rolleyes:

[Toni_]

I joined a few times. Was nice to see some oldies hanging around :)

[snzspeed]

[01:31:36] ShadowGPW: fire asshole

had fun. :D

[BlazinDragon]

Of course I remember the bash the day after it ends >.>*
How was it? Are there any post-bash servers that'll be running for the next little while? I'm curious to see how many old timers are left lol

[ShadowGPW]

Had a few short cameo's.. I liked it!

[VashTheStampede]

Of course, I thought it was this weekend......

[Treylina]

If you want, I could host some post-bash thing, the UNniversary bash, where I just go through the entire bash lists throughout the years (or at least whatever ones I can still find). I intended to do that last year though never felt like doing that. But I would put a date and time and make a new thread about it if necessary.

[cooba]

Sounds fun, do it!
