A certain US politician introduced me to Shootmania a couple days back and dear god, its so much fun.

What do you guys think of an SG tournament?
Organising it should not be an issue if we limit numbers.

However servers might be. I have no clue how to host a proper server. I suppose we could just get the people to hope into an empty server and duke it out.

Joust is a mode in Shootmania, essentially a duel with certain rules in place.
There are 2-4 poles on the map and you spawn with no ammo, you go to a pole to get 5 shots.
First one to get 7 hits on the other leading by 2 wins.
Ex:

  • If I get 6 hits and you hit me 5, my next hit will win me the round.
  • If I get 6 hits and you hit me 6, the person who gets two shots on the other without getting hit wins the round.

The game is currently in open beta (labelled as a demo) is if you grab the demo you can just hop in a game.

That game looks like Ace of Spades without the minecraft style

judging from what I've seen from competitive streams and such, it looks like a twitch shooter of some sort

Of a sort, there are only three weapons in the game and two (mortar and railgun)are very limited (you have to be on a certain platform to use them). Its the railgun thats twitch, the main weapon are rockets and you have to lead your target depending on distance.
