♞ Cavalry Pickup Parties ♞ New Thread

Cavalry Pickup Parties

Dear Cavalry Community,
as many of you noticed last year, Stephan and i prepared a comeback for the Cavalry Pickup Parties during October and brought it back for one evening in December. It was the day before Christmas and it feeled like some kind of last meeting of the Community in 2020.

I personally enjoyed this evening and hope it was the same for you. Sadly, Stephan decided to leave the Community, abandoning the whole project of the Cavalry Pickup Parties without Main Host. Experiencing the current shrinkage of our kind, i wanted to revive this Event (for longer than one month) and give something to the Community instead of just participating in all those great tournaments.

Since this would be the first time for me hosting something, i need a lot of help. That's why i am searching for competent and willing guys to assist me. Of course there is a need for Co-Hosts and Administrators, but another thing is more important: Stephan was providing both ingame and TeamSpeak Servers for the Event and it is undeniable that we need those. I have absolutely no idea of how to rent and maintain Servers, how to set them up and all those things. So if the Cavalry Pickup Parties shall be revived, we totally need someone with knowledge and realization potential right there.

If you want to help me out in any way and make the Cavalry Pickup Parties great again, feel free to contact me here. Of course you can also message me when you have any ideas for improvement of this project. And don't be afraid, i am not planning to leave the Community soon, so if all of this works and we manage to set this up again, it shall be for a while. ;)

The process of a 'Pickup Party'

1. A steam announcement is made to gather people. Join our TS from this moment on. You can of course ask some friends to take part as well.
2. Around 15 mins later, two volunteer captains are picked and they fight one duel to choose who‘s first at picking the remaining players.
3. Picking goes on until everyone is assigned to a team. After this the first round begins. From this moment onwards we will no longer allow people to join.
4. Both Teams fight the match untill there is one winner.

lovely initiative!
Can I just say that I’m really impressed with the cav community, 10x more mature than the inf community and a lot less tolerant of the cancerous players

Just as a quick update on the state of this project - unfortunately the current developments of our Community are thwarting my plans for the Pickup Parties. But no worries, i'm not giving up yet, i just have to find a new solution for how to set everything up. By the way, i'm still searching for Server providers, they are essential for the Pickup Parties and their success. So far a big thanks to Carlos who offered his help as administrator.

Good news! Thanks to Ironfist and DeLaBedoyere, who will provide the ingame and TS Servers, we can finally start with the Cavalry Pickup Parties. Big thanks to both of them for their support to make this possible. In addition to that Carlos and Sharkie will help out as Administrators. Also big thanks to you!

With this lineup we are ready for the first Pickup Party. But of course, if someone still wants to help as Administrator, feel free to message me. There can't be too many. Speaking of the first Pickup Party: It will still happen in July! Soon i will be posting the official date with Server information and everything you all need to know. Until then please make sure to join the Steam Group and the Steam Group Chat if you haven't already. You can find the links for that in the main post.

Yesterday the CPP series came back with the first Pickup Party since .. ehm .. a long time, don't remember the exact date.

Even though we didn't have as much participants as the CPP usually had, we enjoyed the reunion and a relaxed evening. Most of us didn't touch the game for weeks/months but still we were able to perform high-level combat like we have never been gone ;)

In total there were 9 participants, playing firstly a 3vs3 and then a 4vs4. The CPP lasted around one hour. Luckily there were no technical issues, everything went fine.

The next Pickup Party will be around early-mid August.

I will keep on promoting the CPP-Community and invite even more people, especially now those who are members of Linebattle regiments and maybe want to take part in the CPP-Events.

And even if we don't get a significantly higher number of players in the Parties, which is totally expectable during summer:
This won't be a reason for me to stop keeping the CPP alive - because as long as there are people who enjoy it, it's totally worth for me to organize them.

Then Ironfist joined us which led into me leaving the spec and jump into combat as well. This time we played a First to five which Team Thorny could win (5:2).

We will use a new TeamSpeak Server for the Pickup Parties. It will be provided by the Nr10.

Here is the IP: mhr.nul.lv

A big thank you to DeLaBedoyere for providing us a Server until September.

The ingame Server will stay the same, also provided by Nr10.

We plan to host another Pickup Party before the new 5vs5 Tournament starts, so everyone has an opportunity to warm up for this competitive Event and get into Napoleonic Wars again. The exact date and time will follow soon.

Last Saturday there was a great Pickup Party. We could welcome 25 people, which is a great improvement to the last events. First we played a 12vs12 (best of 10). It ended in a win for team Octanidas against the team of AstroX. The first rounds were really close.

After that most of the players decided to stay and we created new teams for an additional best of 5 Match. Team LaSalle took the upper hand against team Cain.

It's really great that some newcomers of our community decided to attend the Pickup Party and to collect experience for the upcoming tournament. Also it has been a long time since the latest 12vs12 and it felt good to have such big combats again.
