So this mode is for special people who can't strafe or shaft?

Also, your post is missing relevant information like:
Is it a team mode? If yes, what is the team size?
It will be played with draft teams?
And finally...



...

Speaking of being special, how many players per team is literally the first thing mentioned under "Game Mode Info" after the name of the game mode.

I hope this answers your questions, but feel free to post again if uncertainty persists.

Ah, my bad .. didn't saw that on the first read.
I got confused by you repeating "clan arena" several times, so I thought clan = team.

Good luck with the contest!

Okay, sorry I thought you were being toxic (why insult my game mode without even giving it a chance?)

I suppose it's rare to play CA with 1v1 so I might just emphasize that a bit more.

Thanks!

In essence it's Clan Arena without the ability to strafe.

You can't be serious, and also 150$ with that? Haven't touched QL for like 1.5 years wtf is happening

Can imagine, in Christopher Hitchens' autobiography he writes about the Argentinian barbecues (google hints they're called "asados") when he was there to interview Gen Videla in the 1970s... am guessing y'all have similar traditions given the proximity.

FUCK now am hungry (((

I really miss Hitchens, human intellect at its peak!

My understanding of asado is that it means 'roast' and boy do I miss Hitchens roasting his counterparts in those classic debates - The Hitch Slaps were just amazing!

Yes, the man was a wordsmith with a radiant intellect and quick wit unrivalled by many. My only sorrow is the fact three decades of brilliant political journalism gets overshadowed by his post-2001 atheism debates (also exceptional work, just pales in comparison... for example his 1980s hour-long interview regarding the future of South Africa and apartheid alone is, at the lack of a better word, "amazeballs").

I'm in total agreement with you (rare for ESR I know).

The atheism debates signal his 'going out with a bang' but you're right; his contribution to political journalism (proper journalism with balls) over many years just goes to remind us all how we need to take off our collective 'blinkers' and readily expose ourselves to the raw facts of our global-social decline.

'the future of South Africa and apartheid' - booked marked for later viewing with a small bottle of brandy - thanks again!

Another gem is a pre-2000 debate vs his brother on the decline of morality within Britain and the role international politics played/is playing in it.

The Hitch (there was only one), despite being noticably "tipsy" aces the whole debate ad-hoc and places some amazing counter-arguments, while Peter, despite having multiple pages of notes gets continuously flustered. (Martin Amis and Salman Rushdie can be spotted in the crowd as well).

Had to actually look up on YT (as they had yet another debate closer to Christopher's death, and that was a typical religious debate... also entertaining but there are multiple ones with repeated arguments, just different oponents). Link!

One of my fav's, I actually recalled it to myself whilst typing away an hour ago but thanks all the same as you've kindly placed the link so with luck more readers here will click and enjoy.

As for tipsy, when wasn't he? :P - perhaps a ploy to give his brother a false confidence.

I also was thinking of that debate while writing the ZA post! Mutual timing I guess o/

And in the above-mentioned autobiography (Hitch-22 is the name by the way) he actually has a chapter dedicated to alcohol and certain regimes for drinking but not getting carried away with it (as in to not diminish writing ability or the critical thinking process), and I think he just didn't mind because he both treated that debate as a soiree and knew how much and during which conditions he'd still easily outshine his brother intellectually, and went with it!

HItchen never took prisoners or welcomed fools gladly.

Classic Hitchens. On the night, even his own brother was the slain..

I had an unread copy of Hitch-22 but gave it away before moving to Spain. I just bought another copy from fleabay and this time I've got the 'semi-retired' time to actually read it! Thanks for the push!

I see. I assumed a "clan arena" would involve "clans", team-based instead of one on one.

Now wondering what Polish beers I could get with $75.

We recently had a long dialogue (first one after Passportgate) and made up our differences ... we corroborated each other's POVs : he wasn't aware the extent of my discontent, after which I admitted my two posts were heavily biased as a result of my indignation, apologised for that retracted them both (as to be honest they were both overkill.)

Imo objectivity ftw and there's no need to get caught up in some random shit and burn bridges over some asinine shit which done like 18 months ago. Smart people are able to set their differences since they can see a neutral point of view and progress from there in the form of reasoning. But only those with true grit. And we are chock full of that, man!

Speaking of silly-sounding ideas, I wanted to run a duel tournament where even the worst duelers could play and have fun. The idea was to seed the participants then to create teams by joining a top seed with a low seed, a mid seed with a high seed, etc. The lowest seeded player is the one playing and the highest gives him advices (or just tells him what to do) with voicecom.

I second this as a fun idea (that I've had in some form myself). There's so many different ways we could be playing.

Venser's idea is actually precisely my idea for how tournaments should look in the first place: more like a pentathlon sort of affair. Some rounds could be FFA, some 1v1 or 2v2.
