Default Free Software gaming tournament
Quote:
Nuxified.org and Cluenet.org are preparing to hold a Free Software gaming tournament. Its purpose is to promote gaming in the Free Software world, on operating systems such as GNU/Linux, and *BSD and show that gaming is not limited to proprietary platforms such as Microsoft's Windows.

We would like to do this in a collaborative and open way so this first announcement serves as a call to everyone who may be interested to join us and help us build this tournament. One of the first things that we need to do is choose which games to include in the tournament and for that we need to set some criteria.

For this purpose we are inviting you for a vote on the following poll: Which games should be selected for the upcoming tournament?. We have put it down to two simple choices:

* 1. Games which have their free/libre data, free to use, share and modify for both commercial and non commercial purposes - basically this is data which is free in the same sense as Free Software is - it provides the famous four freedoms.
* 2. Games with non-free data according to the Free Software or Free Works definition which is at least free to use and share non-commercially.

So, if you have any ambition for the GNU/Linux, BSD and Free Software gaming world to thrive, with you in it, join us in making this tourney a success!
You can talk to us directly in one of the following channels: #clueirc on irc.cluenet.org or alternatively in #libervis on irc.freenode.net. Ask for libervisco, tonyb or Spyro_boy. Smiling

Open Arena would be awesome. It's great that free software isn't just getting trampled these days.

Well, guys, why don't you vote for the criteria for choosing games that you would support and then join us as a player. You are hereby officially invited.

And yes, I registered just to invite you. What an honor!

Cheers

PS: You don't have to use GNU/Linux to participate. As long as the game included runs on Windows, you guys are in as well. This is because we support Free Software everywhere, not just on GNU/Linux, BSD etc. although we do prefer and encourage Free Software OSs like those and discourage Windows.

I've never really been able to play Warsow because all of the servers have very high pings... making it very hard to play.

Actually, ping doesn't seem to be a huge deal in Warsow. I'm gonna go out and say it's the coding that's good, though Unknownm's gonna be pissed... lol, but it IS based on an older game... (Quake 2).

Wish they made it for OS X or at least i wish i knew how to compile it for OS X.

Default Vote
Warsow falls into the second category (free engine, a bit restricted data) so if you'd like that to be accepted vote for the second option here. It hinges on the results of that vote.

As for Nexuiz, it's in for sure!
