The Finals and Mac Shoutcasting

[KoS.Rebel]

K guys ive got a quick update. I recently talked with the guys from TSN (www.tsncentral.com) about there shoutcasting server. It seems that they bought a server online to broadcast off of. I would be willing to do this but im going to need some financial help. I have a paypal donation collector on my site (www.macshoutcastingnetwork.tk) that you can donate on because buying this server will not be cheap. Im hoping that with the support of the guys who really want a non laggy shoutcaster will toss in some money to help the cause. This would mean people connect to the server and not me making me not lag and making the game not lag. Hope yall can help.

No chance of some sponsorship from someone? (*cough* gamespy *cough*) ?

[KoS.Rebel]

Why woudl gamespy be intrested in helpin MSN?

Allright i did some price checkin and this is how it will role. I can get a server that is ALWAYS on with teh quality of 128 kb/s for 3 bucks a month. This comes with a bunch of features etc. I also need 40 bucks to buy the new version of Nicecast. Im hoping that some peeps can throw in a lil money to help me out or mb refer me to someone who might be willing to sponsor me? I could also use some money to get a .com account for my site. Ive got a list of things to do and not the $$$ to do them. Hopefully the older guys who hang here can support a vet trying to bring the mac gaming community back to life.

A quick edit. I just realized thats its 3 bucks PER LISTENER per month. So, basically i can down the quality to 48kb/s and have it 1 buck per listener. Overall i think im going to need money for 40 listeners. This means either semi low quality for 40 bucks a month or 120 bucks per month for high quality. As of now i have no money so untill i get some help i wont know which i will be able to purchase.

Yet again another update. I found another site that will allow me to have 30 peeps listening live for 19.95 a month or 50 listeners listenin live for 25.95 a month. This looks like the place id buy from and I hope i can get some donations to help me along.


To support us, head to www.macshoutcastingnetwork.tk and click the paypal button in the top right. Any donation will do wonders for the project. And if people donate quick enough, ill have the server up for finals!

Shoutcasting sounds pretty cool for the followers..... as long as its not LIVE.... because if it were, I could just leave my iTunes running and hear the whole thing while I cb... and so could an opponent. So to transmit with a reasonable delay (1 or > mins.) sounds safe.

[BTs_Lee.Harvey]

Yuo wouldnt need a 1 or 2 mins delay.. just a few seconds of delay is enough... Plus a good shoutcaster (from wat I hear on the PC side of things does not give away any exact positions, Jut the postions of where the firefights are going on.

[KoS.Rebel]

Im actaully good friends with most the TSN shoutcasters. They use a 1-2 min delay and im learning not to give specific positions away, i try to stick with north south east and west as my directions.

Okay, since none of you broke-ass-bitches want to donate to this, I'm paying for it.? Now I would just like to say one thing:

Everyone go fuck yourselves.

Thank-you.

Ghost thats mighty good off you, as we were discussing on our forum, if so many of us weren't pennyless students without a penny to our name we could have rummeged down the back of the sofa for a few pennies but alas. Mighty good of you to pay for it though

wow. how many times can i say pennies in one post!?

Pennies!

ps. i resent the request to have sexual intercourse with myself, however the statment that i am a broke-ass-bitch seems entirely accurate

[KoS.Rebel]

lol.....im still lookin for some constructive criticism.

[??z][t-VieiA..]

Making the shoutcast lag 5 mins or more, would almost definately remove any wrongfull use of it. With one minute, ppl who wanted to camp, or needed to guard the warzone, (or similar,) would not be able to feel sure, that it was not being passed on, and acted upon. It needs to be more of a hazzle, than a possible helper, to have a guy outside connected to his/her team over nF, while listening to the shoutcast.

The finals are almost there!! SPEAK UP!! NOW!! Heh.

That's why you don't camp!

[KoS.Rebel]

Crypt its GhR....camping is what u do!

[Aramarth]

Oh rebel, some of us are greatly offended by that statement. Numbers may be few, but a segment of the community believes that camping has no place, even if it means we get shot more often.

[Croosch]

Well I don't know if you have never noticed Rebel, but it's a bit tough to rush someone in GhR and hit him (unless you're in close quarters) and with sensors and all it's destined to be a bit slower . . . but not everyone camps.

[KoS.Rebel]

Guys it was a friendly joke. After shoutcasting some matches i realized that "camping" is important in GhR. Please take no offense in what i said. I also want everyone to know that the server is up! For all shoutcasts the playlist link will be on my site and for those who dont wanna go there it is http://grace.fast-serv.com:9114/listen.pls . Hope to shoutcast finals here soon.

[??z][t-VieiA..]

Heheh.. You had the z][t Vs 2RH game.. Yah! -They did NOTHING but camping.
I am extremely offensive in my way of playing, and know it's not "How to play GhR", so I wasn't offended.  
What I meant is, that the games being shoutcasted, should by NO means make players think, that they have to do something different from how they have trained/like_to/usually_do/SHOULD_do. Shoutcasting should have NO effect on the games. AT ALL! -Then it's never gonna come up, that shoutcasting might be bad. Know what I'm say'n?

I think the whole idea sounds great as long as it is delayed to prevent unfair advantages by one side or another. Sounds like fun!
