I think a fairly comprehensive list of Officers might be doable, at least in the modern PRT (C6/7 onwards?) but I doubt we could compile a complete roster of all the teams. I would be interested in helping out further with this sort of historical cataloging however, its a shame that so much has been lost in my opinion. Things like Battlerecorder files, screenshots, end game screenshots, scores should all be saved and publicly archived in some fashion. Its awesome that we have PRISM videos these days.

If possible that would be awesome Web.
but I doubt we could compile a complete roster of all the teams.
sadly yes, then again, who knows, perhaps the people doing this will figure it out?

Totally agree. No doubt this type of data, also has the potential of a future market in it self. Perhaps even big money, for the company understanding the target group/s and receiver group/s needs correctly? Gonna be a lot of analysis to be done on this one, glad I am not on that team, far too much work, basically being a bad word too :-)
Its awesome that we have PRISM videos these days. Speaking of which Onil linked me to these the other day:
Just vital - sad we do not have them from back then, I am sure that the developer team at some point, could earn a dollar or two, providing access to those videos, for old players whom in 20 years from now, wanna go through their internet gaming history? Digital Moments, now theirs a company name lol
Absolutely awesome! Think I have seen the Ejod video, long time ago? Great to watch those old battles and maps, not to mention, now I think of it, the player names, aha, several players from those videos are still active in these forums. Can hurt to ask them if they remember who was in command. Bonus video.

Ejod, a great map for training inter squad timings and battle rhythm, -at least related to battle plans

Jabal, still holds water, offensive in depth versus defense in depth, or the more slow frag fun when deploying wide from start; slope by slope, corner by corner. Best offensive I have even seen in PR was on this map by a German CO, using those helicopters to speed up the battle, totally!

Al Fallujah Region, speed or nothing lol - made my first battle plan in PR for that map, good old dusty map

Thanks for sharing Web!

Thank you Yrkidding, please do. We better start the tradition of getting those names down, so people from C12, in 10 years from now, always can click for those great memories, still awaiting them in the present campaign.

Also Thank You Saobh, for providing so many names from the first campaigns. I had no idea bye_buddie had commanded teams too, remember him only as an admin from C5 and on. Was he not one of the admins, reading books on game theory? Think we had some discussions back then, on that topic?

Wonder where Project Reality fit - in game theory? Is the Project Reality Tournament another type of game, than the public one, when coming from a game theory point of view?

Simultaneous / Sequential games?

Aha, C7 had both CATA 1, CATA 2 and CATA 3.

Apparently, in C7, the CATA 1 commanders was banned. I presume that it would have been the CO and SCO, getting the ban?
L4gi wrote:C7 actually had both CATA1 and CATA3. It changed about half way through after the CATA1 commanders got banned.
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f110-o ... ost2127900

I will now deploy CATA 3, where it belongs from start, namely in Campaign 7.

***

In addition to the above, we still have confusion deployed during campaign 8, where several people and in fact also the official tournament history, talk about a campaign 8.5, a mini-campaign of some sort, either being the rescue attempt from a halted campaign 8, or an extra addition to C8, because of what ever the reason, reasonable enough to prolong campaign 8?

Any information is as always welcome, so I will have to use that time less, trying to figure out what happened. Please understand, that although I may have followed certain battles in the tournament, the super structure it self, has not had my focus.

Now it finally have.

***

Strange days, I do not have access to the tournament news, on its own site, like here:
https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f110-o ... ocess.html
Ok, so finally the suspense is over and we can tell you what to expect from the mini tournament.

The idea is to open sign ups for upto 45 players per team to play in a 8 week fast tournament.

Fixtures will be given by ourselves on Mondays and the games will be played every weekend for 8 weeks on a Sunday evening at 1800PRT. It's a quick fun tourny that focuses more on skill and tactics than overall planning and intel.

We are to keep it small for now, say 1 team per side, but if the call for more is given then we will see whats what.

Points to be noted;
Quick 8 week tournament.
A game every weekend so 8 games in total.
Tourny is decided on wins not tickets.
Format will be standard maps with standard assets/tickets.
Fixtures will be decided by us for all 8 games.
Winners will get a cookie.
Profit???

Sign up's will open on Sunday 21st March @ 2000PRT and we expect slots will be filled very quickly so get yourself registered today to avoid disappointment.

PRTC8.5 is here, are you?



Regards,

PRT Admin team

Copy Wicca and thank you for the information. Were you partly CO for Bravo team in NATO, as appointed CO by the administration, or was this an internal deal with you and the appointed NATO Bravo team CO/SCO?

In addition to that question, I just found a video, thanking you Coccalin and Vok, from Campaign 8.5, at 2:04

Do you recall who was the CO during that short campaign?

sweedensniiperr wrote:I'm not saying anything because I do not know/remember.

Here's a thought for you though: If a CO is LOA for the last 2-3 battles (1.5 month) does that count as he completed it?
Okay, I went through this one, once again, in order to find public validation, and I forgot I already found it, here:

PRT Campaign 10 - Final Sitrep #13 - WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT - Project Reality Tournament Forums

When the administration mention no other than the CO in question, it means he was the appointed commander from start to end. Conclusively, unless the administration forgot to mention another appointed CO, then this commander completed the full campaign.

Should there had been an internal deal with an XO/2iC/HCO or similar, while the CO in question, may have been LOA, then this has to do with style of commanding.

If anyone disagree, then please post accordingly.

Hmmmmm.. Let me go through some of my old stuff and try and dig up info for you. I played from C1 through part way through C7 when the team was banned. My self and Kravixon took over for Mavrick in the middle of C3 or C4 cant remember. I Commanded both C5 and C6 and into C7 until Cata 1 was banned. I need to talk to a couple guys and see about dates and if they have more info then me. As i find more info ill update this post.

I'm answering your PM here Michael so that any errors I make can be corrected by someone who knows better.

My time as CO began with C8. I was originally going to only be an HCO but was made CO before C8 began. I directly commanded NATO Bravo in C8 and Charlie in C9. Eddiereyes started out C8 as the SCO of NATO but partway through if I recall correctly Colonelcool ended up being promoted briefly to this post when Eddie made his departure and then I'm pretty sure I ended up taking the role of SCO for the remainder of C8 as well. Jiggy left at some point from Alpha command.

For C9 I was SCO of NATO and CO for Charlie throughout. Eddiereyes created the SCO/CO structure for NATO in C8 specifically so he could remain in the tournament despite his busy schedule but his tenure during C8 didn't last long. I'm not sure, maybe this was the first SCO who wasn't a battle commander. By C9 he was an admin but didn't remain in that role past that campaign.

I also recall that Smeg a few times commanded battles in C7 instead of Eddie but this was a strategic decision, not because of absence if I recall correctly. That was a long time ago though so my memory could be tricking me. In terms of rosters and stuff I had all my files lost to a dead hard drive but I still have it somewhere so maybe the files can be recovered. I tended to do all the personnel **** so I had way too much familiarity with the names under me, even across two teams.

Maybe I can recover some nice files one day for this project. I must admit I didn't even remember we changed our name to NATO Charlie from Bravo until I started reading this thread. Then I realized how long its been. 6 years since those crazy days. I could be convinced of facts that aren't facts.

I also think Casualty was the SCO during C7 for NATO (THINK) or he was the senior commander to Eddie or something. He was definitely commander for C7 to NATO 1 and he was an SL during one of my campaigns and commanded for me on a round of Archer when I had to leave early. He did a splendid job btw for a guy who hadn't been in the hot seat for a while. I could probably start pulling a list of names out of a hat but can't be sure when they were involved.

Hi H1tman

Thank you for responding. So few CO players left from the start of the tournament.

I deploy all draft information in post 8. Anything not correct, please let me know.

Okay, I have a lot of questions still.

Campaign 7
The starting CATA 1 SCO was you?

Campaign 6
You was the CATA SCO for both CATA teams right? Because I found a PM about a meeting between you and me and an admin on that topic, it says you are to become the SCO for both CATA teams, that I according to the PM had some issues with?

Campaign 5
Do you recall who commanded the NATO teams?

Campaign 3
MAVRICK seem to have been the starting PELA CO, because both you and PM sources talk about him in that position. At some point around mid campaign he gets replaced with either you or Kravixon as CO and 2iC or did one of you replace the other too?

Campaign 2
Do you recall who commanded the ASOG team? it seems Wraith was the starting ASOG CO, replaced by MAVRICK?

Campaign 1
Who commanded the EJOD team? it seems MAVRICK replaced another CO player, who was perceived as a great tactical player by the community, just dont have his name yet?

In regard to the campaigns from 1 to 4, how many battles did they include?

Michael_Denmark wrote:Campaign 8.5: 6 to 8 battles? basically a very compressed two month campaign in the spring of 2010 (sounds stressful)
Why are there almost no data on campaign 8.5? Was it run without selected teams in advance?
So here is what I remember about C8.5

It should have started roughly in May of 2010. The reason I have inferred that is because there was some kind of forum glitch/screw up where a number of people (including myself) had their accounts deleted and had to recreate them for the start of C8.5. For instance: Murkey, Soban and myself all have forum account creation dates of May 10th 2010, but definitely participated in the tournament prior to that.

I believe it was scaled down in the case of the team numbers, essentially it should have been halfed as I think there was only one NATO team and one CATA team. P*Funk remained as the SCO of NATO, I believe Orthas took over as the SCO of CATA at this time. A number of clan players and CATA players from C8 switched for balancing, including AgentMongoose and L4gi (as I think we've established elsewhere in this thread).

The admin team at the time picked the maps to be played, which was the source of a great deal of e-drama.

I recall playing Yamalia, where CATA rushed and set up on our 2nd capable flag in choppers while NATO was still waiting to spawn in via the paraspawn, as it was then.

I also remember playing Beirut, which was the closest NATO came to winning a match in C8.5 when we grayed CATAs last flag but failed to capture it and thus lost.

We also played Siege at Ochamchira, and from Murkey's C8.5 montage Qwai, Muttrah and Quinling for a presumed total of 6 battles.

C8.5 was plagued by a considerable amount of e-drama (even by PRT standards) and as I recall cut short.

Why was that by the way, the change from NATO Bravo to NATO Charlie, if you recall?

Anyhow, thank you PFunk, this is great stuff for both C8 and C9, clear up some of the confusion, and maybe others will get a memory boost out of reading your account? Thanks for posting here too, instead of sending a PM, those PMs are starting to be difficult to remember.

In regard to Casualty, yes, he became NATO SCO in C7, after Alex L. promoted Grayknight to Tournament Lead. Questions are:

1. did Casualty stay as NATO SCO for the remainder of campaign 7?
2. was Grayknight not the tactical NATO CO in C7, before he went NATO SCO?

Yep, something clearly happened with the T forum at some point. Also the emotional drama, I got that message from another old source, back in 2008 too, about really bad chemistry between NATO and CATA, NATO and the admins and CATA and the admins, so yeah, probably why so few wanna talk about that campaign, or might even have decided to forget all about it?

Anyhow, listing names:
  • P*Funk remained as the SCO of NATO in C8.5
  • Orthas SCO for CATA in C8.5
  • AgentMongoose and L4gi switching teams in C8.5
Yes, it more and more seems as C6, C7 and C8 + C8.5 have been pretty loaded with emotional drama. Because those are the campaigns where we see this long list of names, indicating a chaotic situation, loaded with replacements and frustrations.

Question: Why would the tournament administration not provide a ribbon for Campaign 8.5?, or at least mention it on the history page?

Grayknight was in charge of the tournament at the point of 8.5?

I'm really pleased to see some old fellow soldiers once again. Thanks Michael for awakening us from carbon chamber! :)

Last night I look through the old data I have saved from that time and regarding PRT 8 ~ PRT 8.5. To my knowledge C8.5 was the only one tournament which didn't finished?!? Right?, I can't remember now the exact reason, although I can confirm that there was some/huge drama regarding long years of clans playing in same teams which result in uneven sides of players. CATA 1 was banned durin C7 (and the name of team also), because of fight with T-ADM in that time. On the other hand, creating mini tournament (C8.5) it could be something related with release of PR v0.9 in that time also? That is why, Michael, you can?t find separate data for those two campaign.

I also used Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) for digging data and these are the facts:
PRTC 8.5 last 8 weeks, 8 battles, with 2 teams only. Just quick tourney, every Saturday we had a battle, less trainings just fun, maybe that was the reason that we didn't got distinct tournament ribbons.

Back at C8

Aug 08, 2009 - NATO started with Eddiereyes909 as their SCO and CATA had that honor to have Aquiller in SCO boots once again.

Afvalbak - CATA2 CO, CATA SCO later on
Orthas - started as CATA 2 GSO, than CATA 2 CO (later in miniC 8.5 he was CATA2 SCO)
L4gi - (from NATO in C7, then CATA 3 CO) - from Dec 02, 2009 CATA SCO

Image
These are for sure since in that time I was making signatures for guys above, and I have saved in chronology time? I?ll double check tonight and post the exact dates of them?

Regarding NATO. With waybackmachines I got this pictures from members present:

It could very well be it did not finish, since there is no battle result posted from battle 7? Web_coles statement may proof correct when he says it was 6 battles, meaning something happened here too perhaps? Or maybe one team won too many battles? Could be so also, the other side loosing the fun factor?

Both Orthas and Pfunk are highlighted in the usual CATA/NATO colors, in the player list, on the right side of the screen. This support the information of them playing as SCO players in C8.5. So the structure with SCO and CO was used here too, or was it also those two who filled out the function as CO players as well?

Both Eddie and Aquiller as starting SCOs, right, got that covered now.
Afvalbak - CATA2 CO, CATA SCO later on
Orthas - started as CATA 2 GSO, than CATA 2 CO (later in miniC 8.5 he was CATA2 SCO)

Yep we need the dates too.
Okay, so this is new to me, or perhaps all these names make me a bit confused, but Afvalbak did not complete C8 then, as CATA2 CO.

Right, and a new name also, cfschris - NATO CO in C8, good stuff, have not heard about him before. Change certainly deployed it self in the tourney dynamic - back in the days.

Thank you again Woolfson, I appreciate it a lot.

The web tool you referred to, just used it and instantly found people from campaign 2; ASOG TEAM Maverick, H1tman and Kravixon. Back then the CO was apparently named the CMDR, check it out, we just got the ASOG CMDR digged out, good stuff too.

So the following snapshots are from 2006
Project Reality Tournament Forums - Powered by vBulletin

omg and another goodie:
http://web.archive.org/web/200603211329 ... tymod.com/

The tournament did not highlight officers, forum wise, during campaign 1, but we can read that UK Force was CMDR for the ARRC Team, and that we probably also found the god player having commanded the EJOD team, namely a CMDR. DEADMON5811.

Bingo, we got some of them now - lol! no, not good enough - super lol! finally a break through with the old campaigns...thanks again Woolfson.

And the data keep rolling in; NAFR CMDR campaign 3, is Hitperson while the first PELA CMDR is Solitas, aha!
http://web.archive.org/web/200611042339 ... tymod.com/

Then we get Deg.0 as the RFAD CO, in campaign 4, and from now on commanders are no longer named CMDR in the forums.
http://web.archive.org/web/200612101837 ... tymod.com/

Still campaign 4, aha!, Hitperson is ARRC commander. Here we both see Deg and Hitperson in the same snapshot
http://web.archive.org/web/200612090545 ... tymod.com/

HOLY HANDGRENADE - here we have a snapshoot of ME lol, in campaign 4, I did not know they actually enrolled me onto the team, see I left the team again, pretty fast, after a sense that the tournament was not serious enough for me lol, my god I was arrogant back then, lol, and here I am 10 years after still stuck to it lol
http://web.archive.org/web/200612200539 ... tymod.com/

That was what I found from the first skim through of those 2006 snapshots.

February 18th 2007
We see that Hitperson is still in command of the ARRC and campaign is announced, so campaign 4 probably over?

April 3rd 2007
Yours truly as the PELA CO

And then we get the BINGO shot
April 29th 2007
The first four teams ever in the tournament, represented with all the starting commanders, meaning we finally have Casualty nailed as the USEF CO and Nightwolf as the starting BCST CO! Bingo Time!

Woolfson, you have just been promoted to Uber Carbon Chamber Commander! this was very needed data and we also get an impression on how much the tournament as a structure has scaled up. This, I think, could be a reason why we get all the problems later on, a structure not having enough players available, for more than one campaign. But - I fully supported the idea and still do today, because the interest in the tournament was big in those days. Would have been stupid not to enlarge.

Define irony. A bunch of guys playing PR year after year. A game teaching initiative as the prime mover.
However, in regard to EA, these guys never took the initiative.
